Politics & Religion / Re: Homeland Security

Gents,

My sources indicate that at least 20 school buses have been stolen in the past few months from various locations in Texas and Pennsylvania.  We've been discussing this a bit and what the motive for this could be.  In 15 years in law enforcement I never heard of anything like this.

Your take??

Think of a group of thugs gathering around counting their money...a big group of big thugs.  Jesus went in and kicked all their asses in a single siting and not one dared stand up to Him.  Now THAT is not the sissified feminine pumpkin boy from the Medieval paintings and the ladies Sunday brunch worship.

Exo 15:3  Jehovah is a Man of war; Jehovah is His name.
Mal 3:6  For I am Jehovah, I change not.

Christians believe Christ is God therefore whatever the Father is, the Son is as well.

In the interest of the USMC?  Yes, I believe the decision was for that reason.  As to orders, I believe he was following orders.  He may easily have been ordered to do the reverse.  Nothing happens without a tactical thought process behind it.  I don't suspect that he simply made a choice and never cleared it with anyone.  I don't know, for certain of course, but I suspect this was discussed at length.  

On the "Big Picture", I think there are plenty of people who have a pretty big picture Bryan.  Few of us get our info from CNN or FOX, but rather from operators who are there...and other places.  At one class recently I had three Special Forces operators attending.  I have old friends who are  working secretive jobs here in CONUS.  Trust me, our info is as current as it can be. Did you know for example that there are several cells inside CONUS planning terrorist activities as we speak?

Incidentally, what do you think about GITMO? Zarquawi's death?  Our presence in Iraq and eventual invasion of Iran?

Today people are suspicious of Muslims.  Right or wrong, this is reality.  This will stop as soon as terrorism is no longer used as a tactic by those who have highjacked your religion. As well, when the mass of world muslims condemn Zarquawi, Bin Ladin, et al as terrorists and murderers, and leave Israel alone, this will no doubt stop.

The collective silence, however, is deafening.  It is even getting quieter with the new focus on Iran.

As I said, I have my ideas about what this entire war is about.  Israel is the focal point.  As long as we support Israel, we will be targets as well.  Certain alliances both political and military are made in war for various reasons.  

Being a private citizen, although I try to be fair and "live in peace with everyone", I do not need to develop alliances I don't want, nor watch what I say for any reason other than being polite.  In fact, I can be as politically incorrect as a leoprad skin coat at an animal rights convention if I wish to.  Few animal rights activists are found as my students and clients.

Well....this being Crafty's house I will stand down now.  Besides, I have a class to prepare for.

I don't post here often as my time is very scarce these days.  Marc D is my good friend and dare I say, brother in arms.  

Interesting thread.  

I think that the Marine Commandant is probably following orders from above him.  Believe me that there are plenty of people who would set him straight if he was not.  POTUS wants to cultivate allies not enemies.

Was this right or wrong to do?  Not my call as I am not a Marine.
I have my ideas about what this entire war is all about, but that is for another time.
 
I think the gist of the thread is that Muslims are being treated with less than courtesy by some people (ie. the Danish cartoons for example).  Well, that may be so.  But I hardly need to remind anyone that the sum total of all terrorism against Americans in that past 25 years excluding McVeigh has one common thread running through it.  Moreover, I didn't see many Orthodox Rudssians, Episcopalians, or Presbyterians rioting when Christ was depicted disrespectfully in turn.  Nor have I seen or heard of Israel bombing a mosque when an Israeli flag gets burned again. Call me crazy maybe, but actions speak far louder than any words.

The biggest step that "Mainstream Muslims" could take in order to change their "image", is for their religious leaders to come out and condemn publically and totally the acts of terrorism being committed by Hamas, Al Queda, etc.  And to keep doing it continually.  And for the masses in these islamic countries to do likewise.  

As of now, there have not been many loud exclamations of this, and that contributes to the distrust.  Well, no intention to throw a grenade into the works, just my .02 on the issue.
