Iraqi authorities have captured some insurgents and they were interrogated, a process that revealed some interesting information. The insurgents claim that suicide bombings are planned against Europe and the United States. Christmas, a Christian holiday, seems to be the time of the year that Muslim terrorists want to kill people in the west.
The Iraqis have reported the information to the affected governments.
This is eerily similar to last year. Obama was in Hawaii on one of his many vacations when some Muslim tried to blow up a plane with explosives in his underwear. Obama is scheduled to go to Hawaii again this Christmas and we are again being threatened with bomb wielding terrorists. This has me quite concerned.
Not because of the potential for a terrorist attack. I am more likely to be killed in my car than killed by a terrorist. Don’t get me wrong, we need to have security to deter such things but if some terrorist is determined to do something bad, he will do it.
My concern is for our rights. Every time one of these jackass terrorists makes the government look bad more of our rights are infringed upon.
When the shoe bomber tried to blow up a plane with explosives in his shoes we had to start taking our shoes off at the airport. When terrorists tried to get liquid bomb ingredients into planes in bottles we were limited in the sizes and amounts of liquids we could carry on the plane and we are forced to get it out for inspection. When the aforementioned underwear bomber caused all that ruckus we ended up with the machines that scan our body and show us naked and/or intrusive pat downs that are sexual assaults.
The erosion of our rights is ongoing. The full body scans and groping are a violation of the Fourth Amendment but we are continually harassed because some terrorist made the government look bad.
This Christmas we are faced with another threat from the Muslim terrorists. What rights will be trampled on because of it?
I don’t know but I am praying that whatever they do it does not involve putting bombs in their rectums in order to sneak them in.
Can you imagine the checks we would have to go through at the airport if that were the case?
It would be bad because we have learned that the government refuses to use sensible methods to screen people and that they are concerned with violating our rights rather than actually doing something that would protect us.
Israel has the right idea. We should do what they do in order to prevent terrorist attacks.
Otherwise, our system will end up being a pain in the…
Well, you get the point.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
