‘They Didn’t Spare Women or Children’

The murderers who staged the Mumbai attacks were ruthless: Scene of Unimaginable Carnage Inside Taj Majal Hotel.

The scene Saturday night inside the Taj Majal hotel was one of unimaginable carnage in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist onslaught across Mumbai.

Two Indian commandos told FOX News that 150 bodies still were inside the hotel, and dead victims were found all over the hotel, on all five floors.

The terrorists used incendiary bombs, or grenades thrown on gas or fuel canisters, indicating they had access to the Taj hotel in advance, though the Taj Majal hotel denies any staffers were involved. …

The siege was particularly troubling because “they didn’t spare women or children.”

UPDATE at 11/29/08 6:32:35 pm:

And there was slaughter at the Chabad House.

easy, just plug in a lot of quotes about violence only perpetuating violence, throw in a Gandhi reference, and close by saying that the only solution can come from giving the terrorists what they want, I mean negotiations

After all we know that the only reason terrorists kill people, is because the moderate terrorists haven't been appeased properly.

They smile while they kill the unarmed and women and children. Then they piss and moan if the food isn't seasoned just right in prison. I bet they ain't smiling when they encounter Marines. They are a bunch of adolescently minded cowards who feel like big guys when they can shoot innocent people who can't defend themselves.

Here's hoping the Indian authorities wipe the smiles off each and everyone of those bastards faces for hours on end.

38 Paul  Sat, Nov 29, 2008 6:45:01pm

This is no surprise, no extra horror. They've never spared women and children. In their demented minds, I'm sure the murder of women and children "proves" their commitment to holy war. This time they even invaded hospitals and murdered the sick and helpless.

It's now very simple, we kill them before they kill us.

Sadly, I think it's going to take so much more before the left and their fellow appeasers wake up. History will repeat itself.
Only after they give, give, give and innocent people are still being murdered will they finally realize that it's not about our "imperialism" or our "morals" or how mean we are to them or about how much we hurt their wittle feewings.
Then whoever is left with the giant mess 0bama has made will have to out-Churchill Churchill.

The appeasement crowd will only wake-up when something happens that affects their own interests. They're too selfish to respond effectively when it's people they don't know, even if it's their fellow Americans.

If the terrorists somehow affected the availability of lattes or nanny services, then we might see them get excited.

They target women and children believing we value life so highly as to live in dhimmitude over death.

The are right in that we value the lives of our women and children highly.

They make a two fatal error however. We value liberty above life itself. We also fight to live, they fight to die.

They have nothing to fight for but to die. We fight to live in liberty with our women and our children.

In the end there is no contest. Realize that we are not at the end, only the beginning.

Blessed be the Lord of life, the righteous Judge for evermore.

To the departed whom we now remember, may peace and bliss be granted in the world of eternal life. There may they find grace and mercy before the Lord of heaven and earth.

re: #37 livefreeor die

They smile while they kill the unarmed and women and children. Then they piss and moan if the food isn't seasoned just right in prison. I bet they ain't smiling when they encounter Marines. They are a bunch of adolescently minded cowards who feel like big guys when they can shoot innocent people who can't defend themselves.

Here's hoping the Indian authorities wipe the smiles off each and everyone of those bastards faces for hours on end.

There's some perspective, there. Just so I won't be deleted, I'll just say, "That makes me mad." (See my avatar) I believe the essential fuel for this behavior is that they believe they are victims, and anything they do is justified. I think we can thank our own media and politicians for this. They have "righteous anger" and they have found a way to connect the dots to anyone they want, like most ideologically driven actions. I have connected a few dots of my own, as you can see.

The ideology that propels people to commit such horrendous slaughters needs to be condemned by all.

Unfortunately, we have learned that a hot item in Indonesia is a ringtone with a song by one of the terrorists who carried out the horrendous bombing in Bali. The ideology that propels normal people to idolize those who carry out horrendous slaughters needs to be condemned by all.

This is NOT caused by poverty or lack of education. There is a vast multitude of poor people that does not engage in either of these: the deliberate slaughter of innocent people, and the idolization of terrorists. And there is a vast multitude of people who are not so well educated, and they don't engage in either of these.

The driving force is the notion of the global jihad, developed as an aggressive concept by Qutb and others, and shaped into terroristic warfare or any kind of warfare by modern people admiring terrorism and people for whom the end justifies the means, and molded by twentieth century fascist and nazi ideas of an absolute drive for power and the dehumanization of innocent people who are targeted for massacre as a means to achieve power.

This evil ideology is not the same as Islam, because there are Muslims who refuse to have any part of it. But like a virus it lodges itself in parts of the Muslim community, and it spreads within the Muslim community, and it needs the Muslim community to thrive and spread and to be cultivated and to turn people into rabid monsters that have lost their essentially human traits, and justify all manner of evil in the name of the Global Jihad or its components.

I must disagree.

We agree amongst ourselves that we will behave according to certain rules. We even attempt to have rules for war, like the wearing of uniforms, and at least some attempt to spare civilians. When these rules are violated - even targeted - we are under no compulsion to extend them to our adversaries. The rules were not made for such use, and it is often idiotic to overextend them in that way.

Well said. I updinged you. Yet at the same time we cannot ignore facts about this enemy.

They will NEVER wear uniforms.
They will NEVER declare war.
They will NEVER field an army.
They will ALWAYS target women and children.

The structural construction and ideological basis of this enemy remains Arabian tribalism.

Yeah. I wonder what India is going to do "if" this tracks back to the ISI? The Pakis have nukes, but, then again, so do the Indians.

The Paki's are cleaning up ISI, unfortunately they are way too late mate. The Paki's have a lot of explaining to do and I ma not sure if India will believe them even if they are speaking the truth. Too many lies and too much killing. That both sides have nukes should keep war-hawks on both sides relegated to the side lines. Steady nerves and good hearts are needed on both sides to avoid a war.

Their actions demonstrate a declaration of war and their army operates in the shadows until the time comes to strike. The lack of uniforms allows them the blend in easily and their tactics are always for maximum effect - thus the indiscriminate killing of women and children. Tribal they are, but they're no longer the simple sheep herders and strife-ridden factions. They are armed, they are organized and it's best that they are not written off as "agents of satan" or "men without honor." Don't fall into the trap of writing them off as mere barbarians who don't worship the same god as you do.

re: #183 Grandma

I can’t always relate to those who are different than me. But that doesn’t mean I want to slaughter them or hate them. I’ve always loved men; I couldn’t always relate (men are difficult for women to understand), and some I’ve loved, some I didn’t like, but didn’t want to kill any of them. Same with some women and some little kiddies and teenagers who were real pains, but death for them, NO. I can’t always relate to those with homosexual desires, but knew many, liked quite a few, but never found a reason to stomp them out for their different ways. Most all of the above were quite decent and harmless.

But for these vermin, who would kill, maim and destroy for no reasonable purpose, for no accomplishment except for the lust of the killing, who prove nothing to the rest of humanity or for any legitimate cause, prey upon the week and disadvantaged, have no souls, I have no use. I learned a long time ago that one does not hate the sinner, one hates the sin. I hate that which motivates these sinners to commit their filthy acts. I hate the ideology, power mongering, and filthy spirituality that breeds their actions. And that’s okay. No guilt on my part. But I will defend myself, arm my spirit with the decency that they cannot comprehend and never, ever, cave to them.

Grandma, they are on a mission from Allah. This is what they have indoctrinated and trained for. As much as the left loves to bleat about US marines being "baby killers" when they have never done anything like that, by the same token they refuse to acknowledge the truly evil and inhumanity of their favorite icons like Sadaam, Kim Jong II, and all the rest who do kill women and children.

Yes, in some cases, but with Muslims there IS a group of people (clergy, mullahs and imams) who do NOT want God to be democratized and so seek to maintain their strangle-hold on the hearts and minds of Muslims who might otherwise turn in obedience toward the al-Qaim and the al-Mahdi (1844, 1853).

When have Mohammedans ever tried to spare the women and children? I'd say you can make a good case that the Mohammedans deliberately target the helpless (Leon Klinghoffer?) over fighting it out with the Military.

That's probably because little girls are usually tougher than the pusillanimous cowards that are the backbone of the Global Jihad.

'Different levels, different devils.' Is it possible that the trainers and recruiters actually consider these punk-ass murderers disposable? There might be fighters of a whole different order of ferocity and courage waiting in the wings. Or is the tactic of guerrilla terror so effective as to topple nation-states without engaging standing armies. It sometimes seems we are in the midst of a revolutionary cycle the conduct of war, similar to the change in technology and tactics that took place after the First World War.

When Ramirez tried to steal a guy's car, the guy grabbed him by the neck and held on - the car hit a pole.

Ramirez tried to steal another car. The driver's husband came at him with a metal rod. A guy called the cops and sent his sons after Ramirez. These guys (the husband and the two sons) chased Ramirez, beat him into the ground, and held him until the cops arrived.

Basically, that's what I expect from Americans.

Another example - years ago, I lived in DC. As I came out of the Safeway one day, there was a crazy guy in the parking lot, trying to break into a lady's house. Men who just happened to be there (about eight or ten of them), surrounded the raving lunatic and kept him at bay until the cops arrived.

Well, here's the thing. It's sad if we have to bring every citizen up to speed on military matters. That's how they live in Israel. That's how many populations have lived, over the centuries and millenia, at least learning where and when to run, when they couldn't defend.

We in the west, in recent centuries, have tried to isolate war from the general population. The Moslems think they are clever in not doing so. Well then. We can fight our fight, or we can fight their fight. As long as we do fight, I think they will lose either way. I'd prefer we fight our fight, and that means using our major weapons against their overall societies. But, apparently, we hesitate to do so. I understand that. Perhaps it's worth a try. Up to a point. But it may mean you have to give up your music practice in exchange for learning some gun discipline. Up to you, I guess.

Two things are needed. One is a seperate and unconstrained service that can and will hunt the jihadis and all their networks down, anywhere and anytime, in Islamabad or Paris, in Dearborn or Manchester, they can have no safe haven. We won WW-II because we fought a Strategic War. That means we waged war on the entire enemy society, just as the Islamists are waging war on us. Will we need proper oversight on these forces? Undoubtedly yes but it must never be a matter of public record.

What should be a matter of public record must be a series of public defeats and humiliations for the Islamists. They should be told that they are losing Kashmir, all of it, because of the terror that was committed in the name of Islam. They should be told that they are losing Palestine, all of it, because of the terror that was committed in the name of Islam.

re: #265 MandyManners

What was it Burke said about the triumph of evil?

Probable misattribution

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

This is probably the most quoted statement attributed to Burke, and an extraordinary number of variants of it exist, but all without any definite original source. These very extensively used "quotations" may be based on a paraphrase of some of Burke's ideas, but he is not known to have ever declared them in such a manner in any of his writings. It may have been adapted from these lines of Burke's in his Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents (1770): "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
Burke's alleged quote bears a striking resemblance to the narrated theme of Sergei Bondarchuk's Soviet film version of Tolstoy's book "War and Peace", in which the narrator declares "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing", although since the original is in Russian various translations to English are possible.

Don't fall into the trap of writing them off as mere barbarians who don't worship the same god as you do.

But that's exactly how I do view them, and for good reason.

Of course, even the most primitive tribes are still human, and can be counted on to have normal human ingenuity, and may learn and adapt. Heck, so do rats. Cockroaches, maybe not so much.

But Islam is to a large extent a concious dedication to a primitive barbarism, as we view things in the modern west.

It is going to take about two weeks for the intelligence services to connect the dots. Having said that, I think India responded to the immediate on the ground crisis as well as could be expected. If the attacks were launched from Pakistan (with or without) the knowledge of the government of Pakistan, then the government of Pakistan must be held accountable.

Rain, THAT is the question: Will justice Souter declare a ruling that, in the absence of any long-form birth certificate AND passports to support claims of American citizenship Obama is ineligible for presidency?

If either court so rules, will it be enforced? Appealed? Blacked out further by MSM? Only known to people on the Internet? Until WHAT?

Then what happens?

The insanity (non-compliance with commonsense rules) over the last few months makes this a real set of unknowns...

An unnamed blogger quotes Dan Friedman:

This has been bothering me a lot. Mumbai (Bombay), a great metropolis of 19 million people, is no stranger to terrorism. It has had a history of bloody attacks that have taken hundreds of innocent lives in only the last few years. Yet 10, that's right 10, young men carrying large assault weapons could make their way through the streets of the toniest part of the city during the early evening hours, shoot up a major train station, a popular high-profile bar, then move on unchallenged and enter and reach the upper floors of the Indian equivalents of the Waldorf-Astoria and New York Hilton - all without a shot from law enforcement being fired at them. Pardon the American pride, but if terrorists were to try and mimic their Indian colleagues in any of America's great cities, it wouldn't take two days and 100's of military commandos to stop them. A dozen good cops would have them lying dead on the sidewalks inside of an hour.

re: #264 itellu3times

Well, here's the thing. It's sad if we have to bring every citizen up to speed on military matters. That's how they live in Israel. That's how many populations have lived, over the centuries and millenia, at least learning where and when to run, when they couldn't defend.

We in the west, in recent centuries, have tried to isolate war from the general population. The Moslems think they are clever in not doing so. Well then. We can fight our fight, or we can fight their fight. As long as we do fight, I think they will lose either way. I'd prefer we fight our fight, and that means using our major weapons against their overall societies. But, apparently, we hesitate to do so. I understand that. Perhaps it's worth a try. Up to a point. But it may mean you have to give up your music practice in exchange for learning some gun discipline. Up to you, I guess.

It is sad AND scary times. For years I was against having guns in the house, even though my husband is very experienced and had always had guns. I changed my mind about a year ago when a Democratic in the White House seemed possible. Since then we have armed ourselves.

I'm going to go to a shooting range and learn. Never thought that would be part of my resume.

I would counsel you to aquire a revolver. you dont have any experience, no training and a semi auto of any stripe is a bad combo. it has issues that a only a decently trained owner with range experience should depend upon for survival. I concluded this becuase you called a magazine a cartridge

look for a decent .357 mag snub nose for concealablity and knockdown power something like a ruger sp101. which is relatively affordable. I own one as a back up its double action and will continue to fire as long as you pull the trigger, and wont jam like an auto could if your inexperienced.

They went to India for the jihad because Afghanistan and Iraq are too dangerous.

We must train ourselves to refer these always, only, in pejorative terms, with insulting connotations. This deprives them of the glory they crave, it rips away the flimsy rationale they seize upon to take their pleasure and their power at the cost of innocent lives.

Myself, I will associate them in my mind with pedophiles, baby killers, assassins, criminals and psychopaths. They are carrion eaters, hyenas in human form. They have shamed their families, their faith, their nation.

Devastation is their only legacy. In the end they will know defeat and destruction. They will end in shame. Not soon, in fact--not soon enough. However, I believe that in the span of our lifetimes they will find their gloating and cruelty repaid in ashes.

re: #342 pleaseandthankyou

From the article linked on Drudge:

But what angered Mr D'Souza almost as much were the masses of armed police hiding in the area who simply refused to shoot back. "There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything," he said. "At one point, I ran up to them and told them to use their weapons. I said, 'Shoot them, they're sitting ducks!' but they just didn't shoot back."

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. That's truly hideous. If that's the best they can do, they might as well roll over now and start praying to Mecca.

I really feel for Mr. D'Souza - that's something that will haunt a guy forever. I also hope that some good comes of this horrible attack - like better training and leadership for the cops.

It could very well come down to that. India has a "no first use" policy for nukes, as does Pakistan. In practise, this is only a scrap of paper. I don't know if India has the assets to pull off a disarming first strike or not. I would expect that there are people in the Indian government that are asking that same question.

Iron, no ones goes to war over 300 killed in a non-government sanctioned terrorist act, even when "rogue" elements of government intelligence is involved. In Pakistan's ISI, these rogue elements (conservative Muslims) were deliberately placed in the ISI two decades ago as a counter the corruption seen in the office. No one bothered to oust from office after 911 until just the last few months when the Paki government felt threatened by them. I would expect some real cleaning out of the sympathetic conservatives in the ISI. There is gong to be a lot of "fallout" over this, and I am not talking nuclear, mates!

Disagree on the semi-auto. Semi autos of come a long, long way. I've been carry semis for years and have fired tens of thousands of rounds without a problem. When I carry my Sig I have 3x12 and one in the pipe for 37 rounds, with my S&W Compact 10x3 and one in the pipe for 31 rounds.

No disrespect to the wheel gun but modern semi-autos are more than up to the task for self defense. Both in reliability and terminal ballistics.

This speaks well of protective measures in Britain, because they had to travel to India to attack 'westerners.' Surely, 'westerners' are more thick on the vine, as it were, in England et al. But perhaps not as accessible or unprotected.

jcm I own mostly semi autos, and you are completely right they are very reliable now. but. coldpizza will likely never get to go to a range and shoot a semi auto he might be able to acquire. what if he gets that glock he wanted and in a horrible situation god forbid he doesnt rack the slide and is sitting on an empty chamber? or he (no offense coldpizza) limpwrists or softhands the glock and it doesnt recoil fully and reloads? instead it jams? he would never have any of thos problems with a revolver he will be depending upon this firearm in a desperate situation and he will completely lack any practical experience.


ahh, I must have missed part of the discussion. I was assuming the ability to get in range time. I went back up and caught the gist of the comment.

Shotgun? Is that more obtainable? And more of a point and shoot interface.

In my opinion the planners are desperate Pakistani intelligence officers trying to stifle the Indian economy. The order came from the fundamentalist that run this nation, subsidized by the Saudis, who are convinced they can turn India into a vassal state. It does not sound logical to me, but above all, Muslims are fantasists.

A return to the time of the Mohguls.

The entire so-called "golden age" of Islam was built on the model of small Muslim ruling class riding herd on a large, hard working, cowed dhimmi nation. That is their idea of "the way things ought to be", and many cannot understand why anyone would resist such an arrangement.

That Yahoo article that's been floating around here for days has a quote from a "moderate" Indian Muslim who says just that -- only Islam can unite south Asia, and a return to the past is the best thing that can happen.

That is the mindset we are dealing with -- people who think they are destined to run the world, and look upon those who disagree as crazy or blind... the superiority of Islam is so obvious.

Here's a fun story from summer of 2007:
Former Marine, 72, Teaches Pickpocket a Lesson

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Bill Barnes says he was scratching off a losing $2 lottery ticket inside a gas station when he felt a hand slip into his front-left pants pocket, where he had $300 in cash.

He immediately grabbed the person's wrist with his left hand and started throwing punches with his right, landing six or seven blows before a store manager intervened.

"I guess he thought I was an easy mark," Barnes, 72, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story Tuesday.

He's anything but an easy mark: Barnes served in the Marines, was an accomplished Golden Gloves boxer and retired after 20 years as an iron worker.
...
Barnes said he'd probably do the same thing again under the same circumstances, if for no other reason than what he would face back home.

"I wouldn't want my wife to give me hell for lettin' that guy get my money," he said with a smile.

And yeah, I know he's a Marine, not a former Marine. Tell Fox. :D

as I had to do that once in my life I dont consider myself a "gun nut" for wishing the same ability on another good hearted human not wanting to end up as meat for some evil crap weasil.

Black Friday Sales Up 3 Percent From Last Year

CHICAGO — The nation's retailers got a much-needed sales boost during Black Friday's traditional shopathon as consumers, lured by deep discounts, spent nearly 3 percent more than they did last year.

Sales on the day after Thanksgiving rose to $10.6 billion, according to preliminary figures released Saturday by ShopperTrak RCT Corp., a Chicago-based research firm that tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets.

Last year, shoppers spent about $10.3 billion on the day after Thanksgiving, dubbed Black Friday because it was historically the sales-packed day when retailers would become profitable for the year.

Some good news is nice to hear in all the doom and gloom.

Start slow, take a basic gun safety class at a range near by. If that works out take a basic shooting course, find one that uses .22s. Easy and fun to shoot. I've taken 3 co-workers to the range in the last year for their first shoot, all have gotten bitten by the bug.

Kasab has told police that they were sent with a specific mission of targeting Israelis to avenge atrocities on Palestinians. This was why they targetted Nariman House, a complex meant for Israelis. Sources said Kasab's colleagues killed in the operation had stayed in Nariman House earlier.

"They have stayed in Nariman house on rental basis identifying themselves as Malaysian students.'' said a source. Police are trying to find out how Nariman House rooms were given to non-Jews. Police has taken all the records books of for verification. The second target was the CST railway station because casualties would be high.

overcome your fear.

I used to shoot a .22 hand gun before the bank robbery, but I can't even look at hand guns now. Long guns don't bring about the same visceral response for some reason. It was a very small gun that was pointed at me. It actually brings back PTSD.

Though I'm sure I'd enjoy the weapon-geek part of it.

We were sitting at breakfast the other day and I asked my husband if he thought we had enough guns and ammo. He just laughed. He commented on all the guns he had gotten rid of before we were married knowing I didn't want to have any. He shook his head saying he never thought I would be the one to
insist we have them. Times sure are a changing.

I have to disagree with you on the Indian competence issue. from what I saw/ read/ heard the death toll could have been much much higher and it could have still been going on.

It was wonderful.

Hey, dolphin...good to you you. That was one of my recipes and it's in the LGF Cookbook. Make garlic bread the same way. Place garlic butter on the bread, Parmesan Cheese, top with the McCormick's Salad Supreme and cook it in the oven on broil. Watch the bread like the shrimp though or it will burn.

re: #557 Cattt

Need a gun. I sold my old pistol several years ago.

You should have seen how the guys in the store freaked out when they saw I had a loaded clip (the chamber was empty). Maryland is weird.

What's the point of having clips if you have to keep them unloaded? I ask myself.

Well, you can take the magazine out in your car before you enter the store if you think about it. Of course, some of them, much to my surprise still freak out. I saw an accessory for my Glock 26, and asked if I could take it out to check if it fit. One of the salesmen said OK, and the other started to sweat and looked like he was going to faint. I volunteered to forget it, but the other guy said go ahead. What I want to know is why does this guy work in a gun store?

re: #568 zombie

I just this moment got an email from a (former) moonbat friend of mine. I haven't communicated with him for over three years, but for some reason I'm still on his mass email list.

Here's what he had to say:

"What business does Chabad have in Mumbai anyway? And what business the mormons, adventists and and all other Christian 'true believers' have 'out-reaching' in other societies and nations? And you want to 'get along with each other'? What do they expect will happen? I'm not surprised."

I will refrain from commenting on his email, lest I spend the next 90 days in solitary confinement. It's so wrong-headed, it actually transcends the "wrong/right dichotomy" and enters another dimension of moonbat evil.

I'd block that fucking idiot's e-mail immediately.

Gun owners dodge tax on ammunition
By Brad Bumsted
STATE CAPITOL REPORTER
Friday, November 28, 2008

Pennsylvania gun owners dodged a bullet when lawmakers failed to enact legislation that would have levied a 5-cent tax on each shell and required encoding ammunition with serial numbers and registering those numbers in a statewide database.

Introduced in February, the bill remains in the state House Judiciary Committee and will die at the end of the session on Sunday. But it could be reintroduced in January, and gun advocates expect to fight it again next year.

Healthy, young, strong men and women in their 20s let an old man die holding the door so that they could jump out the window and run away.

Yes, they did. This will be with the students who fled for the rest of their lives. He told his students to flee.

"My father blocked the doorway with his body and asked the students to flee," Joe Librescu said in a telephone interview from his home outside of Tel Aviv. "Students started opening windows and jumping out."

He may have looked at it as he was an old man and these were young adults with their future ahead of them. If you were a student told to flee would you have listened or would you have joined the professor at the baracade?

In India, though, a 'Job' likely has a different meaning than it does here. I am not convinced that the security guards at the station even had ammo for those weapons. A holstered sidearm is more a symbol than anything else. Think Barney Fife in this regard. I remember a cop in Mexico eyeballing me at an ATM once, with a Steyr SMG at the ready. I kept my hands visible, I'm tellin ya. I do sincerely think that the terrs would have chosen a different target if that cop and a few of his amigos were around that train station.

If people in an Orthodox congregation cannot understand that there is no mollifying people who want them dead--period--simply because of who they are, there is no hope in Hell that a President who believes that power comes from blather is going to understand it.

re: #587 buzzsawmonkey

Apparently your friend does not realize that there are Jews everywhere, and that Chabad does not do "outreach" to non-Jews, but rather establishes outposts to provide Jews, wherever they are in the world, with a place to daven, to foregather, and to obtain kosher food.

I know that. You know that. And I think even he knows that. Judaism in general, and Chabad in particular, are not "evangelical" -- no attempt is made to convert non-Jews to Judaism. He just likes to feign ignorance so he can justify the flutter of joy he feels in his heart when a Jew is killed.

But let us leave that aside. What, in his moonbat mind, renders the Chabad House residents, legally present in India, subject to a summary death penalty inflicted by thugs from another nation, merely because they are Jews?

Because religion is inherently evil, and if one monotheist kills another, all the better. Like the Kilkenny Kats, they'll all kill each other off so the socialists can then rule the globe uncontested.

strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational art, nor is he a

It's not the powder that's the problem with age, it's the primer. Check the cartridges for primer swelling, bulging or leakage or casing rust. Store ammo in cool, dry, containers preferably with a dehumidifier if you live in a humid climate.
Or, use a chemical dehydrator product like what is used in closets to wick moisture in the cabinet where your ammo is stored. Check it at least annually.

While a tiny margin separates the candidates in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race, it is wide enough that Democrat Al Franken faces a daunting task in challenging votes to erase Sen. Norm Coleman's lead.

Coleman began the recount with a 215-vote lead; it has fluctuated since then and stood at 282 before election officials took a Thanksgiving holiday break from the recount. During the review, the two campaigns have challenged a total of more than 5,600 ballots.

The amount of courage that takes is astounding. It takes no courage to fight when you want to die, or Martyr oneself. How much courage does it take to hold your fire in a fire fight to safe guard noncombatants. Morals and courage are the mark of our guys.

re: #615 Dublin(CA)Dude

Buy now! Stockpile! I am.

I can't own or possess firearms. About 17 years ago, when I was a ute, some friends and I were in a bar watching a hockey game. We got in what most of us thought was a friendly squabble over which team was better.
But when my friend went out to warm up his truck, he was jumped by two guys from the other group, and was pinned on the ground and being punched.
I saw this out the window and ran out there and threw one guy off of my friend, but the other guy took a swing at me and missed.
I took a swing back at him and didn't miss.
I also hit him right in his ear and somehow ruptured his eardrum and he was not able to hear from it after that. I was charged with aggravated assault and plea-bargained it down to felony assault and got 3 years probation.
But to this day, I'd do the exact same thing except I'd hit him somewhere else.

Good time. We with a caravan of family to the parade in the morning and then went for dinner at my sister's place in Flat Rock. About 35 people spread out over 3 big dinner tables. And lots of laughs watching the Lions. No one gets upset about them anymore. The only difference between the parade and the game is that in the parade the clowns are volunteers.

Good - I thought it was you! Very good! Try the red fish! I am taking a half of a red to my aunt's (she live north of Austin, and am going to cook it for her next week).

You need to try my tilapia recipe as well. Take the tilapia and dust both sides with Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle spice...the more you sprinkle the spicier it gets. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a frying pan and cook both sides. When it finished, top it with fresh lime juice.

re: #568 zombie

I just this moment got an email from a (former) moonbat friend of mine. I haven't communicated with him for over three years, but for some reason I'm still on his mass email list.

Here's what he had to say:

"What business does Chabad have in Mumbai anyway? And what business the mormons, adventists and and all other Christian 'true believers' have 'out-reaching' in other societies and nations? And you want to 'get along with each other'? What do they expect will happen? I'm not surprised."

I will refrain from commenting on his email, lest I spend the next 90 days in solitary confinement. It's so wrong-headed, it actually transcends the "wrong/right dichotomy" and enters another dimension of moonbat evil.

Um, "From the Halls of Montazuma to the shores of Tripoli, these men forever will be held in the hearts of us all." Respectfully those are Marines only. And there are quite a number of female Marines too!
I know what you were saying though - it isn't a warrior who deliberately goes out and targets and murders civilians. It's a barbarian who does something like that. Our Armed Forces do indeed kill thousands of jihadists, Thank God, but there are comparatively few true "civilian deaths" when our troops are engaged. Of course if the Barbarians chose to hide among women and children and fire on our Troops we would have every right to return fire but usually don't do so for fear of causing the deaths of innocent civilians. And yes, I thank God every single day for our brave Armed Forces - without them we wouldn't be able to sleep safely in our beds tonight.

There's a difference between a SWAT team arriving at a scene and officers on scene as something breaks out.

A SWAT team rushing in without a clear picture and plan can be worse than waiting. Waiting 72 hours is another matter.

I don't think they waited 72 hours. It did take them that long to get all of the situations under control. Even over here, cops on the scene, before anything ever happens are not likely to be in condition yellow all the time. Go to any busy area not on a homeland security priority list and in your own mind evaluate the motivation of the public safety personnel, if any are to be found. Then imagine two or three men with Grenades and automatic weapons suddenly mowing people down, for no reason at all. The unimaginable happening all at once right in your face tends to make untrained humans lock up mentally. I'll bet the cops at the station in Mumbai were just normal, nice guys earning a few rupees a day for just being there.

There have been a few other issues, which I care not to discuss here, but those seem to be working out for the better.

My dad's lung cancer is nearly non-existent at this point, and the docs say what they thought might have been bone cancer in his back was merely deterioration, showing up dark on the x-rays. He has a couple more chemo visits to go, and they want him to do another radiation treatment on his head to prevent the cancer from spreading there. There have been a few other issues, which I care not to discuss here, but those seem to be working out for the better.

So, long story short, things are looking up. Then again, there was almost no other direction. Hah!

Good for him and your family, Noam.

Any that disagree with the Radical Jihadi interpretation are muzzled by their few numbers and the threat of violence issued by fatwas. It is not hard to see the unquestioning acceptance of the Radical Jihadi agenda when the very essence of Islam is unequivocal submission.

I worked with a muslim woman from Lebanon and she said that all of the Chicago area mosques were heavily into recruitment for the jihad.

When the Constitution was written, people could make their own gunpowder. Perhaps not of high quality, but it was feasible.

Every aspect of firearms and firearm supplies were hand-made then, so quality was not an issue. Only after the Revolution did Industrialization really take off and predominate American Industry.

re: #704 Shay4l
No, that would not be a correct assumption. This is a partial re-post of a prior comment I made today:

Geek Squad guy showed up, installed THIRD Motherboard (actually only TWO installed, the Third one a part fell off of it - a capacitor - when the GS agent opended the package so no point in installing it.
Surprise - this third motherboard didn't work either.
Then I asked him to insall new HD (which I'd received a while back but it didn't make much sense to me to have them install it, use the Resoration Disk and all without a good motherboard) and the Resore Diskette so I could make sure they were ok. He did, Restore Disk worked fine, but then after windows opened the machine shut itself off. This happended four times and finally the Agent said that the new
Hard Drive must be screwed up - so we ordered a new HD as well.
Spoke to a "Rebecca" at Best Buy and she said she'd send it up to Corporate to see about a new computer and I almost totallly lost it- explained to her that I had already spoken at the end of last week with some one who's accent was so thick I couldn't get his name and he told me THEN that if this motherboard didn't work they'd give me a new computer.
So I should hear within 24-48 hours about a new computer or whether or not they want to try to fix this one.
MOFO'S!
I am VERY SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF.

We must train ourselves to refer these always, only, in pejorative terms, with insulting connotations. This deprives them of the glory they crave, it rips away the flimsy rationale they seize upon to take their pleasure and their power at the cost of innocent lives.

Myself, I will associate them in my mind with pedophiles, baby killers, assassins, criminals and psychopaths. They are carrion eaters, hyenas in human form. They have shamed their families, their faith, their nation.

Devastation is their only legacy. In the end they will know defeat and destruction. They will end in shame. Not soon, in fact--not soon enough. However, I believe that in the span of our lifetimes they will find their gloating and cruelty repaid in ashes.

Excellent post. Correctly naming enemies is essential. "Criminals" and "psychopaths" is a good start. There is nothing religious about Islam and Jihad. Just sicko psychos.

My friend we have to be reasonable men. Hatred does us no good. Many Muslims are ignorant and the jiadists know nothing but that, we cannot allow ourselves to become like them... they went to Madrassa as kids, and have been told lies about Jews and Christians. The world as they see it comes to them through a distorted prism where the whole story of the Crusades are not told, only the excesses on the Christian side.

In many cases they are ignorant, and would be shocked if they were told the truth. Many Muslims simply do not know the truth, and the religious leaders keep them ignorant. In many Islamic nations literacy is about 60% or less, and education in science and world history absent.

Can we blame ignorant people for behaving... well with ignorance?

Who done it? British Muslim web site Ummah.com has all the answers: India, Jews, Bush, and the CIA. Blah, blah, blah, but the gist of all the comments is that Muslims did not do this, period.

This is how they avoid being shamed by such events, or reconsidering their world-view. Straight to fantasy and scape-goating, without even a pause.

[Link: www.ummah.com...]

Time will tell who are the real beneficiaries of the said attack but we can still guess what exactly is going on in the region.

Pakistan is under attack by Americans, Indians/Israeelis and even Russians.

Americans and Indians specially have been after Pakistani spy agency ISI, because ISI with all its 'evil' is not allowing them to play well.

With Mumbai attacks, The terrorist Hindu State (India) wants to prove:

ISI is the source of 'evil'. Because of ISI, America is losing in Afghanistan, as they are supporting Afghani Taliban in the back channel and at the same time they are involved in terror attacks in India.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh accused Pakistan of being involved in this attack. He used a dimplomatic language saying our neighbours (Pakistan and Bangladesh obviously) are involved then he actually threatened the 'neighbours' that they would pay the price. Indian Foreign Minister actually named Pakistan to have links with the militants involved. Indian Media is so sure about Pakistani involvement and it seems as if the investigation is being carried out by their Media.

Manmohan Singh said that the terrorists have links with an 'organisation' in Karachi. Well we know which organisation, it's the 'Taliban of Karachi' which are the ghosts working for Altaf Husain, the terrorist Chief of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Karachi. Altaf Husain, who is an American/Indian puppet, is for sometime doing the propaganda that Karachi is being 'Talibanized' though no one sees any evidence of Taliban presence except MQM and some secular fascists. Now the question is if the 'International Media' is going to launch its propaganda that Pakistan has been 'Talibanized' from Karachi to Khaiber?

It's not new, everytime something happens in India, they accuse Pakistan for it. Because in this way they want to prove there is everywhere peace in India, nothing is wrong, and every problem in India is because of Pakistan.

Though in Samjhota Express bomb attack, an Indian Army Colonel (a RAW officer) was arrested for supplying explosives in the attack. Indian agencies have made some arrests from within the army and it proves how Indian army has been radicalized by Hindu Extremists. Funny that Pakistan linked 'Mujahideen' were blamed for Samjhota Express attack as well.

Even in India there are several movements for independance in more than 20 districts but this attack is more most probably an inside job with American involvement especially of Bush regime. Obama had made it clear that he wanted a solution to Kashmir issue, and Indians were not happy with this plan of Obama. It is very much likely that D.i.c.k Cheney and Manmohan Singh are behind this attack as now they are ready to surround Pakistan.

Our (Pakistan) western border is already war torn and now it's possible that India will once again gather it's troops on our eastern borders as they did a few years back to build pressure on Pakistan. This is a golden opportunity for India to harass Pakistan. One more possibility is that Indian troops will land in Afghanistan in the name of hunt for Al-Qayeda and Taliban related 'terrorists' and there they will pave the way for 'greater Pakhtunistan', another Bangladesh in the Pashtun belt. Americans are already working on this option.

re: #751 LGoPs
Well, as I've said out here several times before, I have two friends down here, both of whom are native born Pakistani's (one became a US citizen about 15-20 years ago, but still goes to Mosque every Friday; the other is, iirc, not a US citizen and never goes to Mosque or does his prayers (according to the other guy who knows him quite well).
They have been nothing but extremely decent, kind and friendly to me and Mom for the 2+1/2 years we've been here. And frankly we like them and do consider them to be friends.
And their belief system is not "abysmally ignorant and backward nor is the very root of their belief system "convert or die." They have assimilated quite well and completely here and have denounced the jihadists to me - and yeah I know all about taquyaa or whatever the hell it is - and I could be wrong, but I think they tend to be more like most Muslims than most people think Muslims really are.
I mean the people who get up in the morning, go to work, sometimes socialize, go home, go to sleep, get up the next day and wash and repeat are, I suspect, more typical of the 1.5 Billion Muslims that we know about - they just aren't "newsworthy". And YES I have asked them why they don't speak out publically against the Jihadists and each has said to me that they still have family - mothers, brothers and all, living in Pakistan and they fear for their families lives if they should speak out publically here against the jihadists - to the MSM or where the MSM would hear them and quote them.

One of the first tidbits to come from the survivor was that they were planning on escaping, then returning to Pakistan. They actually believed that they could get away with this. These shitheads weren't yer typical walking bombs.

I never read it in a book
I never saw it on a show
but I heard it in the alley
on a weird radio
if you want a drink of water
you got to get it from a well
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell

I never felt it in my feet
I never felt it in my soul
but I heard it the alley
now it's in my rock and roll
if you want to know a secret
you got to promise not to tell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell

I never thought it'd be so easy
I never thought it'd be so fun
but I heard it in the alley
now I got it on the run
if you want to see an angel
you got to find it where it fell
if you want to get to heaven
you got to raise a little hell


if you want to get to heaven...

That only works if its a private school. If it is a public school, the teacher probably can't be seriously punished even if he lied blatantly. The union will protect him and the matter isn't serious enough for the principal to go daggers drawn (metaphorically) with them.

I watched a DVR copied movie the other night, at the recomendation of [Link: dirtyharrysplace.com...] my favorite movie reviewer and great conservative and compassionate man.
The movie was "Gabriel Over the White House", staring Walter Huston. It was meant as a tribute to FDR, but it is stunningly predictive.

This populist president has a car accident, and for a month is unreachable, but comes back as an inspired (some say blessed by Gabriel) leader. He unites the unemployed and declares martial law, suspends the constitution to achieve what he believe will benifit the most. While the movie is very sympathic to him (FDR), watching it is one of the most shocking experiences of my life. How easily this nation could fall for this sort of thing again. How eerily forewarning this film is. I suggest to everyone that you find this film and view it.

When someone goes to this much trouble to create havoc, they think that they are safe. I wonder who really was behind all this. There has been much misdirection.

I don't want to hate because I am expected to. I won't give them the satisfaction. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

The movie that I linked to has interviews with some actual Japanese soldiers, now in their elder years, confessing or admitted to their crimes. Not all were remorseful.

They told about how they got the whole city to disarm, rounded up all the men of military age, and then asked them how they wanted to die (hanged, bayonetted, shot, burned, etc.).

They proceeded to kill all the men, various ways. (There are interviews with Chinese survivors, who feigned death).

After that, Chinese babies and children were bayonetted for sport.

Then, it was a big rape fest. Young, old, it did not matter. More sport.

The movie is not for the faint of heart.

Same type of thinking that gives trophies to kids for just showing up. This kind of communist thinking is what leads to a lack of initative. If we can't teach some children to become leaders, and just teach them to be followers, there will be no leadership inside of a generation. In fact I think we are starting to see that now.

re: #93 pleaseandthankyou

If these so-called men, so-called human beings had any honor whatsoever they would declare war on their enemies, field an army, put on uniforms and fight like real men. Instead they go around executing unarmed school girls and old women. That tells you all you need to know about their so-called bravery, heroism, honor. Pathetic. Disgusting. Words fail. I wish I were young enough to join the army so that I could kill them in a fair fight.

Please don't use the word "execute" in this context. What they did was murder, no more, no less. "Execute" should be reserved for the lawful killing of a miscreant as a consequence of due process.

re: #746 Perplexed
I worked with a muslim woman from Lebanon and she said that all of the Chicago area mosques were heavily into recruitment for the jihad."

I've a Muslim friend, and have a few colleagues who are Muslim. The burden of treading between worlds must be unbelievably difficult. Very few of us are actually courageous--it is a quality of character that is actually quite rare. On the rare occasions when I've tried to exercise that virtue, the results have been barely adequate--I can look in the mirror; but no medals await, and it was a near thing at that.

Would you or I have the courage to be singled out for ostracism, for extreme rejection by our cultural and family network, to facely physical harm or even assassination for speaking up? How about reprisals, vandalism, stalking, economic punishments? Would we take on the loneliness, maybe religious guilt, just a few among the consequences that I can imagine.

Would I disappear into the crowd, with mental reservations and a secret doubt, or would I speak up and face real consequences?
No. If I were a Muslim woman, with a child, with very little earning power compared to my spouse, no--I couldn't find the courage, not when my support network is based in family and religion.

If a man, would I risk my family's welfare, safety, my own livelihood and business connections? No, again. I'd tell myself that the zealots would burn themselves out, or that the trouble would stay far from me.

There are moderate Muslims, and I believe they are organized with a web presence. There are also courageous individuals who stand against terrorism and totalitarian ambitions and they have spoken out publicly. They are brave people, they are rare people.

It is no good insulting all Muslims, abominating Islam, which honestly few of us have real insight about. Our implacable hostility and determination to fight back must be directed against violent, power-grabbing, fanatical revolutionaries who have made other Muslims, and the Islamic faith, hostages.

I'm disturbed by some of the more blanket condemnations, and the name-calling, that does not properly direct itself to the murder faction, the totalitarian movement that has again surged forward to blight the history of the world. Let us remember, barbarism came to us in the Western world among intellectuals, artists, scientists, children of the Enlightenment. None of us is immune to the poisoner's art.

Edna Parker, who became the world's oldest person more than a year ago, has died at age 115.

UCLA gerontologist Dr. Stephen Coles said Parker's great-nephew notified him that Parker died Wednesday at a nursing home in Shelbyville. She was 115 years, 220 days old,...

Parker was born April 20, 1893, in central Indiana's Morgan County and had been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's oldest person since the 2007 death in Japan of Yone Minagawa, who was four months her senior.
...

Maria de Jesus of Portugal, who was born Sept. 10, 1893, is now the world's oldest living person, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

Parker had been a widow since her husband, Earl Parker, died in 1939 of a heart attack.

George Bush was a flawed president in many respects but in fighting terrorism, I do not think we will find anyone as adept. I bring up GWB because he had a very succinct term for these individuals which is more kind than the word I would use: "animals". GWB called them "evildoers" - still an apt term and one which has biblical origins in the Old Testament I believe...Well, evil is quite real. And what has happened in India is reminiscent of what happened on 9/11 for sure. But on a brighter note, the Islamists picked the wrong country in India. They are a ready-made ally for the U.S.A.. And a natural enemy of Pakistan who needs hyper-vigilance! Of course the issue remaining is what will BHO do? Will he impede the fight or capitualate. Keeping Gates on is a hopeful sign.

But the truth is, we do not know if he will cozy up to Islamic extremist nations who sanction terror by proxy. I know I am not breaking new ground here but I am praying for the families who lost loved ones and for those who have passed.

It's no secret that operations like the Bombay raid can happen anywhere.. Pick a country and it can happen.. it's very close to a pirate raid.. and maybe even is using the same resources that the pirates in that part of the world are using today to capture ships. Piracy ended when nations who were using Piracy started to hurt economically, and when military force was used to crush the pirate bases. The historical model won't work here.. the pirates want their base countries to be hurt economically, to help them recruit. The countries where the bases are, like Pakistan fear their populations, and can't crack down on them even if outside pressure is put on them to do so. I would say the the only answer is another country steps in and wipes the bases off the map, dares the hostage country where they recruit to do something about it.. and applies plenty of evidence that there isn't anything they can do about it. Against Pakistan that would mean one or more super powers secretly plan the attack.. prepare for the attack .. and carry the attack out.. taking the nukes out Pakistan has in the process. That rules out the USA.. we can't keep a secret.. Russia isn't inclined to be a helpful superpower to the rest of the world.. India just has enought nukes to get them selves eliminated in a nuke war.. China is looking east for their expansion, and neither China or India has the trained troops to carry such an attack out. Of course Europe is missing, and is even unable to defend itself.
Is all doom and gloom, the world better get used to this kind of thing.
Obama is the President and he will play his cards in foreign affairs like a drunk poker player setting in front of a mirror with his cards laid face up on the table.

How about reprisals, vandalism, stalking, economic punishments?'. Sounds more suited to a description of the Mafia.
Far be it from me to criticize others for lacking courage. I pray that I won't have to prove my own...but I do think that some things are worth fighting for and against and I would like to think that if it were a bunch of Jesuits killing innocent people in the name of Catholicism, I would have the courage to shout from the rooftops and say - not in my name you don't.

My thinking is that we have to go after the jihadhi clerics and the paymasters and be willing to kill them in cold blood. No due process.

I know that is completely wrong as a matter of law, but I see them as the Generals in the war. As such, they are fiar targets.

So far, the clerics and the folks providing the money have gotten off free of any consequences. There needs to be a willingness to simply take a few out in order to modify the behavior of their peers. That would do more to stop terror than any other tactic I can think of.

It must be earned and frequently that learning and earning is painful. But it's the only way, people get self-esteem because they've EARNED IT. PERIOD.

re: #999 realwest

Ping, as I said in my #992, I don't know. I STRONGLY suspect that Muslims don't stand up in Muslim nations and repudiate the Muslims for fear of their own lives or stand up here in the US for fear of thier families lives back in Muslim nations.

Most don't see and don't have any actual need to do any standing up. It's only when the terrorist attacks hit home, as they did in Jordan, that the popularity of a given terrorist group will take a swan dive.

For most Muslims terrorist groups rank somewhere on a scale between "Heroes" to "Over the Top but Well Intentioned" to "Badly Behaved but They're Trying to Fight for Us against the Infidels and Corrupt Regimes"

When a group like Al Queda in Iraq really goes rogue and begins hitting fellow Muslims hard, they'll be disclaimed, but that doesn't mean a rejection of terrorism as a whole, only a particular group.

And that is a larger problem. Many of the Muslims who condemned Al Queda after 9/11, limited it to Al Queda, but were fine with many other Muslim terrorist groups.

The bottom line is that most Muslims don't view terrorism as inherently wrong. They will view some terrorist attacks as wrong and others as right.

And that isn't going to change any time soon.

So I wonder if these morally superior leftists will now offer advice to folks in India? Will they advise the Indians to embrace the "humanity" of those who did this to them? Will they erect giant Gandhi puppets and hold "code pink" protests in Mumbai?

As for me - I really don't fear terrorists - I just want to annihilate the bastards and the scum that provide them money and training. That is my aspiration.

Remember they are entertainers, they get paid because of market forces, advertisments, product sales etc. It is the rawest form of free market capitalism. My only regret is that I am not as talented as they are. If I could make that money by catching a ball and helping to sell sneakers I would too.

I offer this not as a rebuttal, but a counterpoint. Stephon Marbury had the chance to be a part of basketball history playing with Kevin Garnett and Tom Gugliotta; possibly bringing a championship to the Minnesota Timberwolves. I strongly believe they would have been that good together.

But he didn't want to be the 2nd star behind Garnett, and asked to be traded. It's also no secret that he didn't care to play with Googs, also a New Yorker. Although he's made millions, he'll remain a minor footnote in the annals of professional basketball because he never learned to put achievement before self. He's a great player, who could have achieved greatness and utmost recognition for his talents.

And I'm almost certain it means nothing to him.

I think that the key to winning will be found in tearing down the "curtain" of ignorance that gives the clerics power over the people they can influence.
If people knew the truth, then there would be fewer Jihadists.
But how can we banish ignorance if the first and only school many children attend in a Muslim nation is a madrassa?
How can we enlighten the population if 50% of these populations are discouraged from attaining an education, and those who do get murdered (Bhutto) or maimed?
Education is the key, but opening this lock means you have to run past a gauntlet of entrenched interests who will act as obstacles to any progress.

Well, actually, you can own a firearm here in Canada, even a handgun for target-shooting. But concealed-carry is out of the question, and one has to obtain a firearms "Possession and Acquisition License" and register all the firearms one owns.

I've a Muslim friend, and have a few colleagues who are Muslim. The burden of treading between worlds must be unbelievably difficult. Very few of us are actually courageous--it is a quality of character that is actually quite rare.


I think what it is is civilization that allows people to live and work together, subordinating the issues that 'others' say are important. Reality trumps all in a civilized, free person's mind. It doesn't so much take courage, as it takes an absence of malevolence to reconcile identities. I know some Indians; Hindus and Sikhs, who are more genuine American than most native born I know. Likewise, Paks, Arabs, etc, I know them , like them, trust them. Russians, Brits, Chinese, I count my friends from these 'groups' and more. I have yet to meet an Iranian who I didn't like. Honest. The secret to being an American is to leave the old bullshit behind; as soon as that happens, an epiphany occurs, and not a barack one either. This is the source of our power. It's the opposite of multiculturalism. It's the seductiveness of freedom. It tends to attract the best. The source of courage is Faith, confidence. Being American gives one a big head start on that.

I am old enough (nearly 71) to remember when families could go to a ball game, have a meal, and really enjoy themselves. Now, IMHO, 'sports' are no longer just a game. There is not one athlete on this planet, many of whom never actually graduated from university, but were given free scholarships, and a lot of good stuff under the table...and a total free pass.

Now? Our beloved Shea Stadium is torn down, and the new one, not yet finished, is hideous, and will have 10,000 fewer seats. Oh, and Citicorp, which is in so much trouble, will have their name on it.

Here is an article re the pricing at both the new stadiums in NY..not like it was when we took our 4 kids to Shea when they were young.

For a family, in the current economy? A disaster.

And while professionals are being fired, with no monstrous salary and pay off, these spoiled brats should voluntarily take a lower salary. It would cause them no pain.

They are not supposed to be entertainers, of which we also have far too many, and they are now able to get people to vote for Hussein...they are no more than idiot savants, damn it.

Sorry, but no athlete is going to get any sympathy from me, especially with the private lives they lead in far too many cases...and kids look up to them as examples...let them look at our military if they want to see true heroes, who make about $1.00 to every million a tantrum throwing athlete makes.

There are some in all the major sports who do charity work, visit kids in hospital, etc., and they are the good guys...but it seems there are just not enough of them.

But hey - any country will disclaim that they are directly associated with the terrorists they host, which is the game that Pakistan is playing now. If that is how they will play it, fine by me.

I don't know either. I lived among them for 5 years but certainly claim no expertise. I did see a medieval mindset (on their calendar it was the year 1422 or something like that) that was probably analagous to the mindset going on in Europe 600 or so years ago, before the reformations.

Actually, there are commercial shooting ranges here in many Canadian cities, where you can go in, hire one of their weapons, and pepper away at targets to your heart's content. All with the blessing of the law. So if coldpizza were to, uh, "find" a Glock in a back alley where it was dropped by some gang-banger, he could then go to one of these ranges and rent time on a like weapon to gain familiarity with its use. Buying ammunition for the "found" gun could present a problem, as one is supposed to have an F.A.C. to buy ammo. But you could probably get a hunter friend to pick up a box or two for you.

That's a real good question, Perplexed. If I just wandered in there, sat down, and asked the first person I met, "can you sell me a pistol?", they would probably figure me for a police informant. If I were really going to attempt to buy a contraband handgun, (and I'm not, let's make that clear) I'd probably spend a few evenings in the place, over a couple of weeks, and get to know, and become known by, the regulars. Once the mutual comfort level was a little higher, then I'd pursue my objective.

interesting icon, Nightwatch--a famous historical person? Hmmm. I'm really curious, now...

Yeah I think this goes in the "No Duh" folder. Along with the definition of criminals (Shock they break the law!) terrorists should be defined as "those who kill anyone and everyone especially women and children."

She had been pretty much westernized. but has since gone the full burqua route. When 9/11 happened she asked "who could have done this?" I responded with "either the Chicoms or muslims." She started crying at that point.

Awful. At this point, I'll quote Jimmy Durante: "Why can't everybody leave everybody else the hell alone!"

re: #1082 Semi Cartman

I would love to double-up-ding your post, semiCartman. I think your observation is right on target. The melting pot, not the salad bowl. America is a country conceived in liberty, or rather, conceived and founded on shared ideas about individuals, and freedom. Americanism. We lose that unifying Americanism we are Balkanized, tribal, atomized.

re: #1016 karmic_inquisitor

I don't want genocide either.

My thinking is that we have to go after the jihadhi clerics and the paymasters and be willing to kill them in cold blood. No due process.

I know that is completely wrong as a matter of law, but I see them as the Generals in the war. As such, they are fiar targets.

So far, the clerics and the folks providing the money have gotten off free of any consequences. There needs to be a willingness to simply take a few out in order to modify the behavior of their peers. That would do more to stop terror than any other tactic I can think of.

Aboslutely. It's the clerics, the mullahs, and the general rabble-rousers of radical (from the roots) islam that are the command-and-control mechanism, and they are the ones who should be eliminated.

[Link: www.globalresearch.ca...]

I can only hope that this guy, Michel Chossudovsky, can have a small encounter with some jihadis. He is a liar and an anti-american, and deserve to have such an a encounter. Just to see if those jihadis are commanded by the US, the Pentagon and Bush.

Shame on him.

Ever read the Star Trek novel "The Final Reflection" by John Ford? One of the characters was an Indian, and he tells the main protagonist that his country was the second in the history of man to use a nuclear weapon against another country in war.

/first printing was in 1984

That one should have been made into a movie.

Image: 1127080948_M_112708_Mumbai5.jpg

Image: 1127080948_M_112708_Mumbai6.jpg

Either the photographer decided to change the position of the man in particular to get a "nicer shot", or the man actually is still alive and moved his arm but the photographer decided to take a picture rather than give him first aid.
For the man in particular I wish the first option is valid even though I still believe that with bodies one should not play in order to get a better picture.

1108 nyc redneck  Sun, Nov 30, 2008 6:33:41am

this evil lives among us and plots and plans to destroy every freedom that western society has achieved. they are such a vile and dangerous scourge. stalking and slaughtering innocent unarmed helpless people in the name of islam. killing children, babies, women, the elderly.
imagine the terrible gripping fear people felt as they hid from these animals, hoping just to survive. it is how people on the airplanes that were flown into the WTC must have felt. it is unthinkable that in the civilized world today we must deal w/ these barbarians who are fueled w/ such savage ideology.
they must be shown no mercy. they must be decimated.
there is no negotiating w/ this kind of pure evil. it would be like dialogue w/ a malignant disease.

1109 Ron Shaw  Sun, Nov 30, 2008 7:01:12am

What religion? Whose God? An expectation of martyrdom and entrance into what heaven or paradise? What kind of mindless asshole buys into the concept that you can, no, you must, kill men, women and children with the twisted expectation to prosper spiritually, religiously? What kind of evil teaches these idiots? It is pure evil, the actual core of evil. If my God is the same God of these animals and their brethren then God must be dead since no being truly 'alive' would stand for such blatant brutality by brain dead assholes.
It is prudent to remember those politicians, Presidents included, movers and shakers and MSM types among us who stand behind the premise that there is no such thing as war on terrorism because there are no terrorists only criminals in need of policing with an unloaded pistol, an arrest warrant or two and a pair of handcuffs! Also keep in mind to many of these numb-skulls Che was not even a criminal much less a terrorist, but a hero...oh, pardon me, I forgot Che wore a uniform and carried his own flag to plant.

Doctors shocked at hostages's torture
November 30, 2008 19:53
..
...
"Bombay has a long history of terror. I have seen bodies of riot victims, gang war and previous terror attacks like bomb blasts. But this was entirely different. It was shocking and disturbing," a doctor said.

Asked what was different about the victims of the incident, another doctor said: "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatised. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said.

Asked specifically if he was talking of torture marks, he said: "It was apparent that most of the dead were tortured. What shocked me were the telltale signs showing clearly how the hostages were executed in cold blood," one doctor said.

The other doctor, who had also conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said.

Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said.

It is also said that the Israeli hostages were killed on the first day as keeping them hostage for too long would have focused too much international attention. "They also might have feared the chances of Israeli security agencies taking over the operations at the Nariman House," he reasoned.

1113 archer50  Sun, Nov 30, 2008 8:36:06am

I posted this on another blog. It fits here also. I'll bet the Indian government is all about disarming the regular citizen. Which led to the shooters not even having to consider it in their year long planning. The guy walking around the train station shooting at cowering people would have had a tougher day in El Paso, most cities in Alabama, and other places in America. (Of course not in major liberal cities, unless the shooter accidentally stumbled into a gang convention.)
---

As I watch details of the Mumbai attack develop, I notice that in a city filled with people, 10 men armed basically with long guns were able to attack, kill and maim hundreds of people. That is 10 men, only ten. Apparently they split up in groups of two? If so, that means most points of violent contact were limited to 2 men facing hundreds of people. The difference between a slaughter and a gunfight is that in a slaughter only one side has guns. Let both sides have a chance and you'll have death and destruction, but not as much and not as bad- and sometimes it is the bad guy who catches the death and destruction!

Hmm... I wonder if Obama and his crew grasp this simple but repeatedly proven fact of nature.

As I taught my last class for the citizens academy I told them when I retire my habit of always being armed will not change. Being killed by an untrained, half crazed, easily defeated bad guy because HE was the only one to bring a gun to the fight is stupid and careless.

As the weather down here changes from hot to cool, I'm flipping from my warm weather .380 Ruger LCP (great hide gun) to my much preferred and beloved Kimber .45 Ultra Compact. Another fine hide gun with a jacket. I like my Kimber because it hits where I look, and brings with it a punch like Tyson in his heyday. The .45 changes the mindset of a bad guy with a gun who is trying to kill you to a "Hey why is there several large holes in me leaking a lot of blood?" moment. Usually, he'll have that thought while lying on his back looking up at the sky, curious how he got there.

It is a great academic exercise to wonder where it is safe, what I would do if confronted with danger, yada yada. Guys and gals, when it comes to bad guys and them hurting you remember IT IS NOT A COMPLICATED EQUATION! They hurt you because they want to and can. You may never be able to change the "want", no matter who is the Sec of State, but you can have an effect on "can".

Dave Grossman teaches the Bulletproof mind course. We in law enforcement have become true believers in the theory how to stay alive in a deadly confrontation. Someday, you all may find yourselves in the same place. Let me give you a hint, dialing 911 first is not the best option.

1115 cartoonboy  Sun, Nov 30, 2008 8:58:33am

Of course a good sign might put an end to all this terrorism nonsense. Perhaps this might work:

Please to terrorism people. Oh, hi. How are you. Hello. Oh sorry to disturb you. How are you. Ok- so please do not to kill us thank you. Sorry if this is too harsh. We're very sorry. It is ok to wish to kill us but please consider not doing it. We will be very thankful. And so sorry if we are offending you. We will die eventually as all people do. But right now, if it is ok - I know this might be kind of pushy-we're sorry terrorism persons, I mean brave people of jihad. How are you doing. Oh sorry, I repeat myself. Have a nice day please, thank you.

And the most blatantly ignorant quote of the year goes to the Indian commando is quoted as saying: "Terrorists are far more advanced today. We didn't realize that they had satellite phones for communication or that they would be so advanced and use incendiary bombs".

Is he living under a rock? Maybe he was under the belief they attacked with water pistols and communicated with cans attached to string?

re: #157 buzzsawmonkey

Why would he? I had a conversation today with someone after services, who was worried about the "root causes" of these peoples' "grievances" and how we could mollify them without having to, say, issue a brutal ultimatum to the Islamic world which we would have to carry out if they did not modify their behavior.

If people in an Orthodox congregation cannot understand that there is no mollifying people who want them dead--period--simply because of who they are, there is no hope in Hell that a President who believes that power comes from blather is going to understand it.

The One does not believe that power comes from blather. Blather is a tool necessary and valuable when operating in the context of democracy. He understands politics in the context of Chicago, he understands power. That is a start. It is a good start given the gang we're up against.

He can lead if he will lead. Can he learn power over an opposition that can deploy without persuasion or any moral boundaries? Does he have any courage? Can he learn? Does he know that he must win this war? He will not charm these ghouls, he must fight them to win. It is a very good sign that he has kept Gates in place.

We need him to be what the times require. The times require not only his charisma and ability to lead, but fullest use of his unique positioning to unify and instill solidarity into a damaged polity. He must develop a willingness to lead, hone his innate political astuteness to make America face what must be faced, lead us to do what is needed to prevail.

We seem fated, each of us, to face this mounting horror as our own Churchill. We have no leaders. Or maybe, somehow, we just might find--we got what we need?

There is no honor in Islam. There is no G-d in Islam. Islam is the belief system of cockroaches. What does one do with cockroaches? No mercy on the wretched souls of those who believe in Mohammad. Any feeling of kindness toward muslims I ever had is now completely gone. No jokes, no one liners, no making light of what they do and will continue to do. It is time to get serious.
