| Allen West: Can we investigate radical Islamic terror now? |
| 2013-04-19 |
| [WASHINGTONTIMES] Former Florida Rep. Allen West issued a scathing statement on his Facebook page Friday, in response to the ongoing manhunt for one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings. "Let me be very clear. The terrorist attack in Boston and evolving events indicate we have a domestic radical Islamic terror problem in America," he wrote. "No more excuses. No more apologies. We are in a war of ideological wills and we shall prevail." He also recounted previous congressional attempts to hold hearings on radical Islamism. "When Rep. Peter King ...U.S. Representative for New York's 3rd (central Long Island) congressional district, serving since 1993. He is of the Publican persuasion and is known for his active support for the attempted to have hearings on domestic terrorism, he was attacked for being racist," Mr. West wrote. He said: "We must no longer allow the disciples of political correctness and the acolytes of the Moslem Brüderbund (CAIR, ISNA, MPAC, MAS) to preach to us some misconceived definition of tolerance and subservience." |

| #12 "The US is now, the largest exporter of oil in the world, thanks to Eagle Ford, North Dakota and Fracking everywhere, we are exporting oil and natural gas at a breathtaking rate." Don't worry, Bill. Bambi's doing everything he can (legally or not) to stop that. >:-( |

| #11 We do not yet have the inter-connectivity required (e.g., pipelines) to move all the oil we have to the refineries that can handle it. They're working on that one as well type. |

| #10 We missed the boat with West, just like we missed the boat with Ryan and Romney. |

| #9 It also depends on whether they consider you an tru-blu green high tax lovn' do what you are told American. Wuz visiting some backthen friends in W's first term. We were out and I mentioned that since I was in the ol' city, I was going to get all the stuff needed to shoot trap. Went from a friendly game of pool to some sort of an intervention, after these man-girls huddled and eye rolled for a bit. Telling me I had too beer much to drive as they were ordering another, snotty man-girl things like that. And no I don't miss them, too much like babysitting pre-teen girls. |

| #8 We are not yet a net exporter of oil, though (if current trends continue) we will be by 2020 or so. We do not yet have the inter-connectivity required (e.g., pipelines) to move all the oil we have to the refineries that can handle it. The trend is good but the Saoodis still have us in a vise. And even if we were fine, the rest of the world is not. Given the interdependence we all have on trade, etc., if the Saoodis played hard ball we'd have problems. A good liberal friend of mine (really) once remarked in a candid moment that the Saoodis sitting on top of all that oil was a "geographic accident" that could be rectified. If we had a sufficiently devious president in power we'd have seven new states in the Union (that's how you get to 57, Barack). |

| #7 Rex - How many was Obama's best buddy Bill Ayers and his Loathsome wife willing to 'sacrifice for the greater good'? 200M? Bill - And don't forget the EPA is working overtime trying to figure out how to shutoff the flow of oil we are producing. Give them time and money and they will. |

| #6 The US is now, the largest exporter of oil in the world, thanks to Eagle Ford, North Dakota and Fracking everywhere, we are exporting oil and natural gas at a breathtaking rate. The Saudis don't have the energy leverage over us they used to. Our exports of oil will help clean up the current account mess and may even bring enough petrodollars home to bust the Saudis chops. I expect them, the KSA, to be a bit more cooperative with us in the future with our new found largess of oil. BTW, both Iraq and Libya have oodles of oil. If we can keep Iraq together and get them pumping oil, we will be fine. The Saudis may yet find themselves out of leverage. |

| #5 How many Americans will have to die? Depends...some moderate leftists believe that the non-urban areas should be depopulated. The extremists believe that the entire country should be depopulated. |

| #3 The Soodi Oil Sheiks have our nads stretched over a barrel. The price of oil is based on the USD. If that were to change, ie; USD status as international reserve currency goes south, we're doomed! We've borrowed too much money. |

| #2 IOW, how long before even the MSM and donks in Congress turn on this scheming, secretive president? How many more bombings and bungled "investigations" will it take before people realize the president is NOT on our side? How many more hurried deportations, Fast and Furious operations and Benghazis? How many more American citizens will have to die? |
