| The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin advising police officials to be on the lookout for suicide bombers attempting to strike inside the US, TIME's Elaine Shannon reports today on TIME.com. The lightly classsified bulletin, headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and circulated earlier today (May 20) via the FBO's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet, warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - and, as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official, TIME reports. The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb or as pregnant women, TIME reports. |

| #25 Zen: Terrorism is a tactic and a symptom of a larger problem. Arab defeatism. I think the only real cure is "cultural genocide". Before any of you call me a nazi or BusHitler, I'm not calling for the massive exterminations of arabs, muslims or any other group of people. I'm calling for bringing these people OUT of the 7th century and breaking (either forceably or peaceably) their delusions of grandeur and wistful longing for the past. Not too big a problem. Since jihad's intent is essentially "cultural genocide," if the choice is between a culture that has brought our world the Internet, space travel, IMAX, personal automotive transportation, air travel, democracy, pluralistic society and so forth ... versus a "culture" of congenital wife beaters, sadistic decapitators, mass murderers, theocratic fanatics and instigators of some of the world's most evil atrocities, well ... let's just say that there's not much of a choice, now is there? |

| #24 When President Reagan unleashed the United States Air Force against Libya resulting from horrid acts of terrorism directed by Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. After Ronald Reagan taught Gaddafi the only thing the dictator understood, Libyan backed terrorism cooled off greatly. The same treatment is required for Iran, Syria-Lebanon's nest of death cultists. In Iran's case the main source of funding the mullahs use for promoting global & Iraqi terrorism is derived from crude oil sales. Hit the exported Iranian hard so not one drop leaves the Persian Gulf. Without Iranian assistance, Syria & it's vassal state of Lebanon will be in a weakened position but since the nature of the jihadees is self death and death to all 'infidels', well, we should We are in a war for the survival of western civilization just in case the leftists forgot that fact or they mistakenly think if they are nice to these Muslim killers, they shall be left alone. With the evil trash which slaughtered Nick Berg there are no 'peace talks' only TOTAL victory, after each and everyone of these jihadic cancer cells are eradicated off the face of the Earth. |

| #23 As I have said elsewhere, we did it to the Japanese-Americans during WW II, and we'll do it the Muslims as necessary. Brass. |

| #22 .com, You had me getting a little defensive there for a bit. But, ok, I see we're on the same page, more or less. I think right now we (Western Civ.) are just arguing semantics. We don't like words such as: islamofascists, racial-profiling, crusade, cultural genocide, jihad, etc. Crusade: 2 : a remedial enterprise undertaken with zeal and enthusiasm Odd, that sure sounds like what the Jihadis, wahabbis and RoP practitioners are doing. And from the looks of things on the Homefront, CAIR and other Muslim "moderates" haven't risen up and denounced it and seem to silently endorse it. I think we will finally *see* the crusade, but only after more attacks. Zen: Terrorism is a tactic and a symptom of a larger problem. Arab defeatism. I think the only real cure is "cultural genocide". Before any of you call me a nazi or BusHitler, I'm not calling for the massive exterminations of arabs, muslims or any other group of people. I'm calling for bringing these people OUT of the 7th century and breaking (either forceably or peaceably) their delusions of grandeur and wistful longing for the past. I probably fubar'd that whole thing. Steven den Beste explains it better, but searching his site turns into an epic adventure. |

| #21 Yea Zen, I had to choke that down too. Just going on the Skokey IL crowed from a few years back. I've got nothing but disgust regarding that. |

| #20 "Crusade," by definition infers a remedial action. We are not seeking to remedy any deficiency, we are defending ourselves against vicious and immoral attacks. (and please, I know you can be a ... nazi and not be a criminal) I beg to differ. Nazism has as one of its intrinsic goals the mass murder of Jews. It's propaganda is nothing more than illegal hate speech and must be disavowed by all thinking people. No tolerance is merited or deserved by those who advocate Nazism. Like terrorism, it is a cancer which must be wiped from this earth. |

| #19 A4021 - I realized, from your most excellent comment, that the crusade meme had come full circle. In other words, your comment triggered a mini-epiphany for me and I thought it prescient / prophetic and, not to belabor the point I posted, simply beautiful! In the past here on RB, I have posted often that we will be faced with some very hard choices - by force and necessity - and eventually, when enough of us have died at the hand of Islamofascism and internal enablers, we will do what it takes. We're damned slow to motivate, in spite of the cowardly and treasonous elements of our own society and the infiltrators such as CAIR which serve as the mine canaries that indicate we're in for a real fight, but it will happen - and we will be surprised by our own ferocity, methinks. I believe that, before it's over, it will, indeed, be an in your face choice for individual Americans in their own neighborhoods. Some day soon, we may be reading about soccer Moms taking out jihadis... Traveller - are you out there, bro? I know you are in the same quandry on this issue... |

| #18 There has to be a legal way to combat the jihad that is stewing in our country. Islam isn't just a religion but also a social/political order. I didn't realise this until I heard some SA smiley face talk about it, in glowing terms, about the kindom of allah. By outing islam as not just a religion but a political theory that is hostile to liberal democracy it can be made illegal, ala nazism, communism, or even a social norm like polygamy. (and please, I know you can be a commie/nazi and not be a criminal). My point is that, rather than a lawless reaction to the next jihadie attack. We as a society need to have a clear case as to what is and isn't exceptable. And I think Americans would be against a social/political/religion that is hostile to their beleifs. That way an internment and deportation of those involved in the RoP will know what it is that they are being targeted for. I am not ready to give up our freedom to those who would use that freedom to kill us. It will be up to the RoP'rs to have their 100 yr war to get it right. But until then, FOAD! |

| #15 . . .what if the public did just that and took it upon themselves? If it truly becomes a counter-Crusade, does that mean we have to know about, and "deal with", every Mosque in the US? |

| #14 And there we have it. I love neat & tidy little logic boxes: "Crusade", OBL's favorite meme justifying the Islamofacist madness, now becomes a Western meme for taking the gloves off, giving as good (bad) as we get, doing what's necessary to not just survive, but win, definitively, permanently, absolutely. How remarkably apropos! |

| #13 YS, I think that before it's all over, America and the rest of the West/Civilization will come to the horrific realization that we're on the receiving end of a Crusade. And the only way to win... is to Crusade back. And this will probably become real at all levels of society, due to the fact that it is a war at all levels. |

| #11 Do you guys ever think the general public will ever have enough of these guys and take matters into their own hands? I've heard the catch phrase thown around that this war will be won by average people like us - what if the public did just that and took it upon themselves? Isn't that sort of what Europe did back in the day against the Moors and Ottomans? There's been one or two examples of that sort of spontaneously-organized response in the past three years. |

| #9 ruprecht - The Soviets began to see they were lied to by their government. "What's so bad about capitalism?" The jihadis are so fervent that they bellieve that all they see is a lie, and their masters back in Jihadistan are feeding them the only truth. Sefarious has got it right. Remember the story about Atta having to "suffer through" a lap-dance at a strip joint a month before he butchered 3000 people at the WTC. |

| #7 Are these suppossed to be sleeper cells? folks that have infiltrated from Canada or what? The Islamoids may find a few of the hard core sleepers may have softened while living in the Suburbs. I could be wrong but I remember that happening to the Soviets. |

| #5 Got a point, Robert. Maybe the Profit, may bees pee upon him, did it at some point, which would make it okay for them to. Must be in one of the oft-neglected hadiths or something. |
| Posted by: The Doctor 2004-05-21 9:29:13 AM |
| #4 Isn't there something in the Qu'ran that warns against dressing in drag? Based on the number of jihadis that have been caught in drag lately, apparently not. |

| #3 or as pregnant women Isn't there something in the Qu'ran that warns against dressing in drag? |
