Debbie,
As a former law enforcement officer, Professor Tiger is absolutely spot-on. This is an example of the unfortunate consequences of kow-towing to “diversity-appropriate” populations and political correctness. And it is what makes the job of fairly enforcing laws,in this day and age, so terribly difficult.
Blessings – Dave

Yesterday during football commercials I was watching a PBS show hosted by a Muslim interviewing two others of like mind. His term for Major Hasan, Hamas, PLO, Muhammad the DC sniper, etc.? “A few misbehaving Muslims who’s crimes are blown way out of all proportion by anti-Islamic media.”
It was like watching crazy people shouting at the color yellow.
These White House gatecrashers will probably be idolized on the Muslim street for their chutzpah (if I may use that word).

Debbie, FOX just broke the news of a Chicago man named David Coleman Headley who was indicted on 12 counts criminal information plus 6 counts of conspiracy in arranging to bomb public places in India, to murder and maim people in India and Denmark, to provide material support to foreign terrorist plots and another offenses. That’s the Pakistani-supported Islamist terrorist group Laskar al Taiba, which claimed responsibility for the massacre last year. Not a typical Muslim name but I bet is he is a convert to Islam. Someone in Chicago connected the dots. Welcome news in a politically correct holiday season.

Now’s that’s a Maj. a Hasan moment!

Those two scumbags make me sick.

5000-odd soldiers plus many more contractors, and hundreds of thousands of civilian Iraqis(I know: less important to you guys, but I include them anyway) had to die in Iraq for no good reason, yet you guys spend more time on this than you have critiquing Bush and Cheney’s behavior surrounding their decision to invade that nation and drop the ball in Af/Pak.
Yiou lot really are very selective as to what you wish to discuss, aren’t you?
14 soldiers is more important than 5000?
Any reasonable person would await an investigation before trying to figure out how to ensure such a tragedy doesn’t happen again – but OH, NO: you lot have to let fly your bigoted anti- anything right wing and christian to satisfy your fake patriotism and delusionally paranoid urges.

Poor cinesimon…not enough hugs as a child? You sound a tad delusional yourself. Your post was a joke, right? If not I apologize. I’m still laughing though…

Cinesimon, do you need a tissue? sniviling coward that you are, can’t see what is in front of you because it might hurt your precious libtard feelings. Get bloody stuffed and man up pussy!

Lionel Tiger article speculates about a SS agent , “who may very well have” given the crashers a pass, “presumably” because s/he was stricken with political correct phobia about their names. It is not a factual account.

It may be a fun theory to throw out there and compare to a sun Hollywood movie, but why are you taking it so seriously?

The White House gets tons of visitors with weird names, so I doubt someone serious about trying to breach security there would be helped by having a funny name. I suppose you all think the Secret Service agents are no better than Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane? Maybe, but I’d like to see some better evidence than some fun speculation.

If the military knew of the connections Salahi really has, in the day when we still had a country, they would have been duty pressed to protect their COmmander in Chief by taking the Salahi’s to a military base, and have them face a firing squad. But the concept of a Commander in Chief to protect the US, much less the highest office is a joke, and so this incident “Al Qaeda” raising their banner at the US White Houes, pretty much sealed a 12/25 incident, which was just a dry run, complete with intel screwups, mirror image like Dec 1988. Now we have to watch out for Feb 2010. It’s their pattern, their signature, and shooting the Salahi’s in front of a firing squad would have avoided all of this. Now the gatecrasher bastardos have invoked legal Takiyaa. Waterboard them, at the very least!
