^^^^^I wouldn't think he would be authorized unless he was in there performing his duties as a reservist.

I think it would be the Line of Duty thing. He may have been off duty but he was doing something that was authorized under the current regulations.

The bus incident in Europe jogs a few gray cells.

In the French train attack, Airman Spence Stone received a PH and SPC Alex Skarlatos received the Army Soldier's Medal.

New weapon against terrorism

If we could only get the bad guys to subscribe to this drivel of Loretta's. She says

.....our most effective response to terror and to hatred is compassion, it’s unity, and it’s love."

If by "compassion, unity and love" she means, "sight picture, breathing control and trigger squeeze" then I'm 100% in agreement with her. Otherwise, I look forward to her flying over there and hugging it out with Mohammed Al Fuqqin Kil Yu All and his little love toy, Abdullah the Screaming Goat.

Boy, am I glad we didn't have these yahoos in office when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

No, wait a sec ....

I meant, when the Germans invaded Poland and the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor.

If you want more of a given behavior, reward that behavior.
In order to avoid providing such rewards, you have to understand what qualifies as a reward for the particular group you're trying to affect.

Unfortunately, for an islamofascist true believer, almost any outcome qualifies as a reward.
One which doesn't is humiliation, in a manner which is relevant to their culture.

Someone here cited the quote, I'm not sure whom to reference:
"You have to fight war on terms the enemy understands."

I have always believed that the family and closest acquaintances of these subhuman beings should be prosecuted, deported, or had a JDAM dropped on their house.

This thought came from watching suicide bombers from Palestine blow up innocent people in Israel knowing that Saddam Hussein or someone else would reward the family with suitcases of money. As they say, follow the money! KABOOM!

That his wife wasn't immediately arrested when telling the police of her involvement and knowledge of the attack beforehand, and that their children weren't taken by the authorities baffles me. That his mother and father aren't going through deportation hearings and sent packing, confuses me. That any other family members aren't being grilled by investigators and paraded about in orange jumpsuits for the world to see their faces of shame.

If this had been the response to 19 families of the 9/11/01 attack we could have saved a lot of lives and avoided two costly wars that have led to the problems we face today.

That someone within the FBI hasn't lost their job, irritates me.

Maybe I'm a bit mid-evil in my thinking but without consequences for action there is inaction that permits the next unthinkable action.

But let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, because that's what'll make it all better.

That was before it became part of the 57th state.

No, I have been wondering the same thing.

If your family knows, and says nothing, the least that should happen is deportation.

For some odd reason, the media doesn't have much to say about the father.
Any guesses as to why...

Eerily similar to clock boys dad.

I wonder if BHO will run for President of CAIR when he's finished with his Muslim hug fest as POTUS?
