Wow,
You know your stuff. I have studied the Islamic fundamentalists for a long long time and I still don't know why the left doesn't understand it and I still can't fathom how an American political party can literally have no plan whatsoever on how to confront this enemy.
I mean I have contacted a number of Democratic leaders and members of the constituency and not ONE of them can elaborate on any kind of a plan to deal with this problem.
I get furious on a daily basis with those people who are anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-Israel people. I wish I was surrounded by people like yourself who knew and understood the truth and reality. Please continue the great work.

Your comments on the leftists seems to be a universal thing. It is widespread in Canada. The NY Times is nothing about a leftist rag... accent on the rag part.
It really sickens me though. The Ted Kennedy's, Barbara Boxer's and others have openly shown a preference for the "rights" of captured terrorists over the abilities of those who protect this great country.
The Democratic party has spent more time and more energy and more thought chastising the people who ARE fighting terrorism instead of devising a constructive plan to defeat the problem.
I don't know if it is to be obstructionists or if they do not have the capacity to confront the problem, if they arent aware of the problem or if they think siding with the terrorists that they will be respected and not attacked by terrorists (very naive).
What do you think it is?
I'd love a transcript of what I just heard to shove in the faces of the libs I deal with every day.
i just love the internet.... here i am sitting in snowbound ohio and poof, i can listen to you live....
the family in new jersey is most certainly terror related dont wait for the msm to call it terrorism, after all remember the greyhound bus attacks (by moslems with knives)? still not terror according to the MSM..
Hey guys,
Which one of my reasons do you think it is about the LIBS?

They are probably all possible reasons.
My mother use to say, “Never attribute to malice, that which can be equally attributed to stupidity and incompetence.”

FBI say bus attack wasn't terrorism
October 4, 2001 Posted: 12:09 AM EDT (0409 GMT)
MANCHESTER, Tennessee (CNN) -- Greyhound Lines resumed service Wednesday afternoon, about eight hours after an attacker slit a bus driver's throat, causing a crash that killed the assailant and five passengers.
The nation's largest bus company said it was assured by the FBI that the attack was an isolated incident, not an act of terrorism.
Greyhound resumed operations at 1 p.m. EDT, according to company President Craig Lentzsch.
The company said it is implementing new security measures, including a search of all carry-on bags.
Buses were pulled off the highways shortly after the crash, which took place around 4:15 a.m. CDT near this middle Tennessee city.
"Officials have assured me that they believe this tragic accident was the result of an isolated act by a single, deranged individual," Lentzsch said.
"Given that information, I then consulted with the union leadership of our company, and we have concluded that it is safe to resume service for our customers, and necessary to resume service for our country."
At a news conference later in the afternoon, FBI agent R. Joe Clark said the attack was not an act of terrorism.
"Our evidence leads us to believe at this time that this was an isolated incident," Clark said.
Clark identified the attacker as 29-year-old Damir Igric, a Croatian who entered the United States in March 1999 on a 30-day visa.
The agent said Damir got on the bus Tuesday in Chicago, Illinois, the bus' departure city. He remained on board through stops in Indianapolis, Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky, and Manchester, Tennessee.
The bus' final destination was Orlando, Florida, with another intermediate stop in Atlanta, Georgia.
Clark said there were 41 people on the bus, including the driver and an associate driver.
The bus crashed after the attacker slit the driver's throat with "a razor or box cutter," then grabbed the steering wheel, sending the bus careening off Interstate 24 near Manchester, the driver reported.
Clark would not specify the weapon used, saying only that it was a "sharp instrument."
The crash occurred near the intersection of I-24 and state Highway 4, about halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, police said.
Thirty-two people were injured, and taken to several hospitals.
The man who attacked the driver was among the dead, said Steve Deford, Coffee County 911 director. A spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said an ATF agent at the scene reported the attacker had been thrown through the front window of the bus.
Officials brought in bomb-sniffing dogs to check the body for possible traces of explosives before moving it, the ATF spokesman said.
Federal officials said he was carrying a Croatian passport.
Dr. Ralph Bard, a surgeon at the Medical Center of Manchester who treated the bus driver, quoted the driver as saying the man who attacked him had asked several times about the route of the bus.
"The man came up this last time and cut his throat with what he described as either a razor or a box cutter, and then he actually grabbed the wheel and forced the bus across the median into the oncoming traffic," Bard said the driver told him.
The driver, a Greyhound veteran from Marietta, Georgia, told Bard that the man was "5-foot-10 or 5-foot-11 and 150 to 160 pounds." The attacker spoke with an accent, Bard said.
Bard said the driver never lost consciousness and was able to climb out of the wrecked bus and go for help. The driver was in good condition after surgery to treat the laceration on his neck, Bard said.
Carly Rinearson, a passenger on the bus, said in a phone call to CNN affiliate WTVF that a man kept asking if he could have her seat near the front of the bus. She said he appeared agitated and kept asking the time.
Rinearson said when she refused to give up her seat, "He just went up to the bus driver and like slit his throat."
Greyhound representative Kristin Parlsey said Greyhound had set up a number for families to call -- 800-884-2744.
Lentzsch said Greyhound would give a refund to passengers who did not want to travel Wednesday. He said the company would allow employees upset by the events to be excused from work. Amtrak offered to honor Greyhound tickets Wednesday, as space permitted.

Man charged in Greyhound bus attack
Tuesday, October 1, 2002 Posted: 7:37 PM EDT (2337 GMT)
The Greyhound bus that crashed after the driver was attacked is towed out of a cotton field near San Joaquin, California.
A Greyhound commuter bus ran off the road and overturned near Fresno, California, after at least one passenger on board attacked the driver (October 1)
FRESNO, California (AP) -- A transient was booked on suspicion of murder Tuesday for allegedly slashing the throat of a Greyhound bus driver with a pair of scissors, causing a crash that killed two passengers.
The bus, heading from Los Angeles to San Francisco, flipped on its side Monday evening and slid into a field off Interstate 5 near Fresno. It was carrying 50 passengers.
The suspect, Arturo Martinez, 27, was held on two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Authorities said they did not know of any motive.
"He has told us several stories about why he did what he did," sheriff's Lt. Margaret Mims said. She said authorities were checking to see whether drugs, alcohol or mental problems played a role.
According to witnesses, the man rose from his seat shortly before 9 p.m., walked briskly up to the driver and attacked him with the scissors. The driver survived.
"It happened very quickly. He immediately stabbed the driver, too quickly for the passengers to take action on their own," Mims said. She said the driver "struggled, tried to defend himself and lost control of the bus."
Authorities caught Martinez as he tried to run away.
Greyhound Lines spokeswoman Lynn Brown said 26 passengers and the driver were taken to hospitals. Three people, including the driver, remained hospitalized Tuesday at a Fresno hospital, where they were listed in fair condition.
Alfredo Saravia, a passenger from suburban Los Angeles, said he was awakened by the attack.
"The people in the front, when they saw, they tried to stop the guy, but he already had the driver. Everything happened in seconds," he said. "The bus started tumbling and went off the road and started flipping."
Almost exactly a year ago, on October 3, 2001, a passenger on a Greyhound bus in Tennessee cut the driver's throat, causing a crash that killed seven.
Two weeks later, passengers on a Greyhound bus in Utah helped thwart an alleged hijacker. And in November, a Greyhound passenger angry that he wasn't allowed to smoke scuffled with a driver in Arizona, causing a crash that injured 33.
Greyhound, the nation's largest bus service with 20,000 daily departures, has hired a private company to screen some passengers with electric wands but has inspectors at only a portion of its terminals.
Congress has included $3.8 billion in an anti-terrorism bill passed this year to augment aviation security. It has approved $15 million for security improvements on intercity buses.
opps, only one was from croatia, one was undisclosed and one was from california
sorry for misleading
Sorry if i misinformed, it seems that I posted without doing more research, the FBI now does call the El Al shootin in CA was terrorism.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/04/12/airport.shooting/
I need to do more research to see if other moslem violence was called terrorism
1. Sirhan Sirhan, the man who shot Bobby Kennedy did that in support of palestine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirhan_Sirhan
but not labeled "terrorism"
2. Meir Kahane murder...
In November 1990. While speaking to followers at a New York hotel, Kahane was shot and killed. El-Sayyid Nosair, an Egyptian Islamist who has been linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot, was convicted on weapons charges in connection with Kahane’s killing.
and yet this was not considered terrorism
here is a great article:
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/7/8/20620.shtml
here is a snippit:
Memo to the FBI: In 1993, the terrorists were going to bomb Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn but figured that they could kill more Jews at the WTC (this according to one of the terrorists wanted in the bombing).
In March 1994, livery cab driver Rashid Baz opened fire on a bus filled with 15 Hasidic Jewish students on the Brooklyn Bridge. It took much too long for the killing of Ari Halberstam, who was riding in that bus, to be classified as a terrorist act, but it eventually was.
In February 1997 a Palestinian schoolteacher opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building, killing one and injuring six. He then killed himself. He had a suicide note that talked of his desire to kill Jews. Terrorism?
ok... i am done
Is this going to be available online anywhere by chance?
Many thanks Rambam.
I wonder how many are dead where the connection to islam is not obvious ?
Nevermind; the list you give is long enough, and it excludes europe and the rest of the world.
Thanks again.
Can anyone give a summary of the interview, especially how it related to the leftists - or better yet tell me if it is available to listen to somewhere?
Was the Greyhound attacker a Muslim? His name doesn't indicate that, he sounds like he is from part of Croatia which is predominantly Orthodox. It is a horrible story, but I'm wondering if it really was terrorism.
