		<description>You haven&#039;t explained why the &quot;liberal&quot; rags you avoid reading
so as to have more time for comics perhaps, all supported the Iraq 
War at the outset, while Pat Buchanan&#039;s AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE magazine, OPPOSED it, directly contradicting your
moronic maunderings.</description>

		<description>The NYT and Wapo are both so &quot;liberal&quot; they supported the Iraq War.And by your definition, Bill Buckley, Pat Buchanan, George Will
and Chuck hagel are &quot;looney left.&quot;

Fact is, you&#039;re an uneducated moron when it comes to political idology of any stripe.</description>

		<description>When you spend your time reading liberal rags and Noam, you never will have the slightest comprehension of reality.
If you can link me to just one article from either the NYT or WaPo that contains anything other than liberal drivel then you might could convince me that it&#039;s not 100% liberal.  But you would be wasting your time since they went to the liberal loonies back in the 1930&#039;s and haven&#039;t had their head above water since.
I read lots that is anti-war, that&#039;s necessary to know what the enemy is thinking.  After all, I read your stuff and that&#039;s as looney left drivel as you can get.  By the way the correct term is Anti-American, not anti-war.</description>

War reality. I say &quot;unlike you&quot; because you have boasted in the
past you go out of your way to avoid reading anything in the
MSM or elsewhere which is anti-war,and disbelieve it when 
failing to avoid it.</description>

		<description>&quot;Another friend, a Sunni sheikh of the Shammar tribe noted to me that thousands of former officers are prepared to assault the G[reen] Z[one]. It is no longer a matter of can they do it, they are only mulling over the timing. The breach of the Green Zone security the other day was a test of their ability to get in, and not a real attempt at a coup, though it is reported as such. Every Iraqi I talk to says unambiguously that the resistance attached to the former regime would take out the Shiite militias with barely a fight, but that the resistance will not commit wholesale revenge against the Shiite population. They just want to get rid of the &quot;carpet baggers&quot; from Iran. &quot;

above paste from today&#039;s Juancole.com. This refers to the
Baathist-led sector of the resistance, which includes as junior partners native Sunni nationalists and a scattering of Shias,
along with some foreign al Qaeda types.</description>

		<description>What strikes me is the nervous nellie-ishness of the US since 9/11/2001, with an ample dash of self-doubt tossed in and more
than a hint of guilt--an increased awareness that  our continuing foreign policy might be unnecessarily adding to vulnerability.</description>

		<description>The thing that really bothers me about this incident is that they not only seem to be sensitizing americans to loud muslim prayers, but the shouting of the phrase,&quot;Aluhah Ahkbar&quot;.  Some of the articles I have read on this incident say they used that term loudly several times on the plane.   A few years ago I went to a form for Defense Department personnel on the suicide bombers in Isreal.   At that time, the Bethlehem bomb squad was dealing with hundreds of bombings or attempts every year.  One of the presenters was a member of the NYPD bomb squad who had gone over there to train with them.  The slide shows were gruesome.  One of the things we learned is that when the suicide bombers would walk into a pizza joint and blow themselves up, they would ALWAYS shout, &quot;Aluhah Ahkbar!&quot;, (God is Great), three times before blowing themselves up.  Some people actually survived by diving for cover or running when they heard it the first time.  Others jumped on suicide bombers as soon as they started shouting it.  Isrealis soon realized that if you heard someone screaming this in public, watch out!  Now that doesn&#039;t mean that every time a muslim uses the phrase that somethings going to happen, they use it often the same way a christian might say, &quot;Praise the lord!&quot;   But if I heard a muslim shout it three times in a row on a plane, I think I would see my life pass before my eyes.</description>

		<description>MerlinOS2,  congrats on being in Maui at this time of year and glad the turkeys got there.

Anyhow, using info from tv reports and above.  it doesn&#039;t seem that the prayer was the problem.  It was that they created a disturbance after entering the airplane and wouldn&#039;t comply with the flight crew&#039;s requests. (Apparently sitting in wrong seats, etc).  But even after security came onto the plane, they resisted compliance thereby forcing security to remove them. 

I believe it was a planned demonstration to relax security toward Muslims.  Is it working?</description>

He could use some help covering some of the costs and equipment ... see the November 18th posting.

Sorry AJ if posting that on your blog was out of line.  He posts some good stuff that I believe should get more awareness.  Feel free to clobber this comment if it seems &quot;spammy&quot;.</description>

		<description>I have said many times the imans in this country need to be carefully watched and no foreign imans should be allowed in the US.  There is no telling what is going on in these mosques and schools.  I am afraid of what these terrorists  are capable of and we do not know who among the muslims are terrorists in this country.  And another thing is that I do not understand why CAIR is still in existence.  They want muslims to be able to move freely everywhere they want to go with no restrictions whatsoever even though the 911 hijackers were all muslim.    Every time we arrest or stop a muslim Cair files a lawsuit.  They are using PC and they are taking advantage of our freedoms and laws and using them against us.  Isn&#039;t this what is in the terrorists handbook?</description>

		<description>AJ

Other bloggers I have read have worked the probe and react concept.

As I understand the situation, the men in question were doing their required prayers that happened to coincide with the timing of the flight.

So I guess the supposed lesson is to be that Muslims can pray whenever required by their religion no matter what the location and it should just be accepted but a general prayer invocation before a high school football game should be shunned and forbidden.

And heaven forbid a cross be erected on land in public view.

All females should wear beach burkas as the lower common denominator so as not to offend.

Can&#039;t wait for scientology to ask for equal time.</description>
