#9  That mod you just called 'loser' was badly wounded in combat and continues to work closely with our fighting troops, wr/george.

I have no such history, being a mere military wife who has nonetheless supported this fight since just after 9/11 with my own professional skills. I've stood at graveside when young men and women with whom I was close returned in flag-draped caskets. Today I support this fight in other ways and I have some awareness of things like information collection and use.

Differences of opinion are fine. But take your namecalling elsewhere if you cannot show basic respect for people who are just as active, if not more so, than you in this fight. One (single) warning, since you have an old but remembered track record here.

#6  Farting around with these cockroaches for years. Last month they killed a US soldier a day. Gramps was smart enough to realize the so called web site didn't 1) lead anyone to Osama, 2) provides inspiration for the daily killings of our troops, and rightfully concluded that if you see a cock roach kill it.

You don't have a problem with the fact that they probably killed another of our young men today, but you got a problem with us killing them or taling anything AQ down. For that you can rot in Hell, too (speaking oin behalf of another US kia today, very seriously, and don't you forget that either.)

#5  I dunno, Zeb. They got Binny, didn't they? I don't believe Obama is a muslim because religion of any sort is incompatible with international socialism. Besides, for all we know, our folks might have had a trojan horse on those machines and those orcs would never know. If you wanna hack sombody, go for the PLA.

#4  Oh, and one more thing lotp. Don't expect intelligence gathering against people of Obama's faith to happen, especially when the state department just ordered customs not to inspect what the members of the Muslim Brotherhood are bringing in to this country during their visit to the White House.

#3  You must still think Obama cares about stuff like that.

#2  I wonder if this guy realizes he probably cut off important information gathering on the people/groups that use those forums.

USEFUL information gathering. Information gathering that might have led to dronezaps, among other things.

Clueless amateur.
