To My Mind, The Safest Ceremony On Earth

Meanwhile, Hyping Up The Elderly

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/05/25/memorial.security/index.html
This event will pose no threat to the brave and dutiful government willing to hype fear among, of all people, many of the nation's elderly, mostly survivors of the hellish ruins of postwar Europe. While a western patriot myself, I have no qualms in saying 'Al-Queda' has no track record for either a)killing a man in a wheelchair, and b) condoning and not condemning the killing of a man in a wheelchair. These heroes will have their ceremony and the nation will remember their payments for the world we lived in until 911. For them, we are and will be eternally grateful. That's why it's pure rubbish to use their time with the bogus terror threat. Some of you may remember my prediction/fact a while back stating there would be an attack on the US around late Sept. and Earlier October. I think it may be possible the attack will be on the US led coalition forces in Iraq. Something out of the ordinary. Imagine the coup for Bush and Co. if their troops were killed with dirty biological WMD or something of the sort. Not only would the WMD lie be vindicated (oh it had to come from some secret arsenal known only to a select few Hussein henchmen) but the national support for Bush would rocket, the world would come together for America as it had after 911, and this time, THIS time, someone will prod Bush and control him better this second term. No more of the mission accomplished excrement, or the poking under tables looking for the WMD. No more of that. Mark me.

Didn't the terrorist we captured in Iraq (Abu Gharas?) kill someone in a wheelchair on a cruise ship in the mid 80s?

I don't know about that. Can you provide a link for me? It sounds familiar but I may be thinking of the American serviceman who was shot and dropped onto the tarmac.

but was this man part of Al-Queda? That's the rub.

I am willing to bet that of the 3,000 people killed in the WTC there was at *least* one who was handicapped. Not that it would matter if there were or weren't because *all* of those people had no record of A. Ordering terrorist bombings or B. Had their followers children pose with bomb belt or assault rifles.

Odds are that somebody in the WTC was handicapped, but were they in a wheelchair? That's the real question!

thanks for the link greywar. I was referring to Al-Queda though. It did make me change my mind about the Palestinian terrorists. But were they Hamas? There's such big differences and reasonings behind each individual terror organization. Again thanks for posting it. Taking the time to find it I mean.

Yes, there are so many shades of gray in the whole "Kill westerners" or "Kill jews" movement. Sheesh

Do you realize how ridiculous this discussion is given 9/11? Al Qaeda is quite indiscriminate.

Actually, the Al-Queda members involved made sure that all of the flights involved were handicap-free, as well as both towers, and all the surrounding streets and buildings before they went forward with the plan. it was quite a logistical undertaking, but they wanted to make sure that we didn't perceive them as being sensitivity-challenged. You have to realize that these were the newer breed of Al-Queda members, the compassionate terrorist mass killers, not the old school ones.

the compassionate terrorist mass killers


What a oxymoron. If they were compassionate, they wouldn't kill thousands of people. They would go and try to assassinate someone they hold responsibility for "evil actions" and avoid the huge batch of people that had nothing to do with those 'evil actions' whatever they may think those actions to be.

I apologize for being rude on my response.

There's such big differences and reasonings behind each individual terror organization.

Who cares?  If you organize to terrorize people, who cares who belongs with whom?  Is there any ethical, logical, moral or any reason at all that anyone should tolerate organized terrorism in any part of the world?

You make it sound like 9/11 and all that happens afterward is politically motivated by the US government.  What do you claim the motivation is?

Who cares? Who cares? THAT EXACT attitude is why your country is off on a rampage in the Middle East right now. Explore options and read for everyone's sake. Each group is different and that counts for lots when it comes to HOW YOU DEAL WITH IT. You just want to blow up buildings and conduct military operations to try defeat the faceless body of terrorism. By the way, why not fight ALL forms of terrorism? Not just the bad arab terrorists.

mikimouse is right. Murdering innocent people is quite just as long as it's only Americans killed 'cause mikimouse hates America.

Uh, historically we have tried to.  We typically try not to wage war on Nations unless they do something to us, first, remember? 

Obviously you think that terrorism has just reasons since you find so much of it "OK".  It was perfectly OK for them to come to our home soil, hijack our planes and kill our innocent civilians?  I just can not understand how you can reason any of that.  Poor Arab terrorists are the victims.

That's not 100% accurate. The US did nothing to stop the IRA, and many American's knowingly contributed money to the IRA on a regular basis. Until 9/11 the US didn't oppose ALL forms of terrorism.

Disclaimer: The above statement is in no way a support for terrorist actions or events.

Also, miki, I am confused by this article. Are you referring to the WWII memorial ceremony this weekend and saying that will be safe? I'm just not sure what the "ceremony" is or why the "wheelchairs" are relevant.

victims? wow. you and dharma sure twist things and put words in my mouth. Silly you. Question: if a helicopter shoots 3 hellfire missiles into a crowded apartment building with the intention of killing one person, knowing you're going to kill many innocent civilians in the attempt, is that not terrorism? I ask because if you say no or try rationalize why it's ok for one side to do that form of terror then I know what type of mind you have. I know what the term terrorism means. And unfortunately for you it applies to both sides, the so-called 'good' and the so-called 'bad'.

sorry yes of course I mean the WW2 ceremony will be safe. No terrorists will be attacking veterans of wW2. Take that to the bank.

That was the "tried" to part.  It's not always to recognize terrorist activity.  However, when we identify it, we try to fight against it.  But, priority is to protect our own country.

People will bitch about the US no matter what.  If we don't protect the world, then we are not doing enough.  If we try to protect the world, then we are just being monsters picking on the rest of the world.  You can't have it both ways.  All we can do is try to protect our own.

good lord don't you know about the US sponsored terror in South and Central America? The CIA's bag of dirty tricks, their operations there? That's terrorism and the US was complicit. That's historical fact. Read some of what the US did while Nixon was, according to Kissinger, too loaded to run his country.

Got any links to terror hijackings, bombings, decapititation where the CIA was *proven* to be involved? don't start with the *proof* against the terror groups either, they claim ther atrocities like a badge of honor.
