Irish Govt Kills U.S. CitizensView MessagesViewing posts 1 to 28 of 28 messages posted.
HOLY MOTHER OF $$HIT “Apparently a particularly militant cell of the Irish Repulican army has been hiding out in the U.S. for some number of years. The Irish govt has been monitoring their activities and trying to track them. Apparently they were able to ascertain that a few of the leaders would be gathered in one spot at some compound in Idaho. They blew the damn thing up!!! It isn't sure that they got the bad guys . ..but they killed 20 U.S. citizens in the effort. A foreign country launched a military attack on our soil and killed 20 of our innocent citizens. . . .women and kids . . . Its an F-ing crime. I may be 100% irish descent . . .but think we should blow them off the map.” 7:05:15 AM 1/20/06 “Didn't British James Bond kill a bunch of international terrorist criminals, many of which were U.S. citizens, to the cheers of all. The movies of his exploits were box office hits.” 7:19:37 AM 1/20/06 “Dam@ those Republicans!” 7:19:50 AM 1/20/06 “It's not much different than us bombing an Afgan dinner party to dab five bad guys.” 7:34:45 AM 1/20/06 “Didn't know those potato guns could launch so far. Must have been super-sized. Guess that's going to move Ireland way up on the super power list to right behind Norway. I doubt that we'll retaliate now.” 7:38:19 AM 1/20/06 “It's also a strong message to the common man, don't hang out with people who ran a strong chance of being blown up. btw- Can a bratha get a link?” 7:42:01 AM 1/20/06 “i'm thinkin BS, nigal...i couldn't find one either...i would think something like this would be all over the new by now” 7:57:53 AM 1/20/06 There is no link “This is just someones way of saying America is bad and wrong for bombing the Al Queda leaders in Pakistan. Or at least its a misguided attempt at doing it.” 7:59:19 AM 1/20/06 “Got a link or anything, Lee?” 8:01:24 AM 1/20/06 “Yeah, it was a sad thing crashing their dinner party like that. But then again, if ya don't want your dinner party bombed don't invite terrorists.” 8:01:53 AM 1/20/06 “Poor little terrorists.” 8:03:54 AM 1/20/06 “+1 on the link request.” 8:07:59 AM 1/20/06 “The BS meter is high on this one. LOL” 8:08:53 AM 1/20/06 “Yeah, big time BS. Lee's full of poop. :)” 8:09:39 AM 1/20/06 “is there a link? just kidding lee last edited: 1/20/06 8:10:25 AM” 8:09:51 AM 1/20/06 “Yes, there's a link. Leee was seen in Africa buying yellow cake... 8:18:16 AM 1/20/06 d'oh “look. I have nothing against predator drones. I have nothing against taking out Al Quaeda terrorists. Let me re-phrase. I LOVE THE KILLING OF AL QUAEDA TERRORISTs. I hope they suffered. but. Just for 2 seconds. Just for 2 . . .I would ask that you flip it around. If another country violated our soveriegnity . . . launched an attack that killed 18 of our women and children . . what would your reaction be?? Would you really stand up and say . .."great they deserved it" or . ..'they shouldn't have been having dinner with these guys" Would you harbor NO resentment against the foreign power for killing your women and children while trying to carry out their objectives??? Again. As I did before 9/11 and as I do now: I believe that the war on terrorism will be never ending. I believe our need to prosecute that war will far exceed the media and public attention span for it. I beleive that in the face of criticism our president from now and into the future must remain resolute (be they republican, democrat or other)and perserve. We must insert delta squads and the CIA into these countries to clean these folks out. We must be willing to violate the soveriegnity of other countries to kill folks that we think threaten us. All of this I believe. But there is a cost. the feeling of repulsion and hatred that the people of Pakistan feel for the U.S. are not only real and valid . ..they are deserved. We have earned that hatred through our actions. We as a country would not tolerate this kind of incursion on our soil. Period. You know that we wouldn't.” 8:19:20 AM 1/20/06 “Lee's post is as true to life as the James Bond movies. Lee's point is a metaphor. But if a real life James Bond travels world wide killing terrorists, or our government does it vis a vis Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger, it is alright by me. Just one less terrorist.” 8:19:34 AM 1/20/06 “lee got up grumpy today.” 8:20:21 AM 1/20/06 “18 women and children? Isn't that about the same number that Janet Reno killed in Waco? Oh no that's right, she killed way more than that.” 8:24:13 AM 1/20/06 “That's it lee? *groan* Thanks for nothing.” 8:30:20 AM 1/20/06 “You paint a very impressive picture. Inaccurate, but impressive none the less. Let’s take it point by point. #1) We don’t harbor terrorists as Afghanistan has. #2) We generally don’t send invitations to known terrorists to come to our house. And yes, I would and will say they should not have been consorting with these terrorists knowing they are targets for American attacks. If you lay down with dogs you get flees…and then you get blown up.” 8:30:25 AM 1/20/06 ““18 women and children? Isn't that about the same number that Janet Reno killed in Waco? Oh no that's right, she killed way more than that.” US ViLe Bears 8:24:13 AM 1/20/06 I think I love you. Will you have my baby?” 8:31:32 AM 1/20/06 “Lee, you didn't need to dream up that dumbass hypothetical: http://insider.washingtontimes.com/articles/normal.php?StoryID=20060117-121930-3169r Mexican military incursions reported By Jerry Seper THE WASHINGTON TIMES January 17, 2006 The U.S. Border Patrol has warned agents in Arizona of incursions into the United States by Mexican soldiers "trained to escape, evade and counterambush" if detected -- a scenario Mexico denied yesterday. The warning to Border Patrol agents in Tucson, Ariz., comes after increased sightings of what authorities described as heavily armed Mexican military units on the U.S. side of the border. The warning asks the agents to report the size, activity, location, time and equipment of any units observed. It also cautions agents to keep "a low profile," to use "cover and concealment" in approaching the Mexican units, to employ "shadows and camouflage" to conceal themselves and to "stay as quiet as possible." Border Patrol spokesman Salvador Zamora confirmed that a "military incursion" warning was given to Tucson agents, but said it was designed to inform them how to react to any sightings of military and foreign police in this country and how to properly document any incursion. Mr. Zamora added that although incursions by the Mexican military do occur, they usually have taken place in areas of the border "not marked by monuments or signs." He said U.S. military units also have crossed mistakenly into Mexico. But Rafael Laveaga, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington, denied that Mexican military personnel are crossing into the United States. "I strongly deny any incursions by the Mexican military as inaccurate allegations," Mr. Laveaga said. "The Mexican military is a well-respected institution with strict rules on how to control Northern Mexico. It maintains a protocol of not going within a mile of the border, and those who would trespass would be severely punished." Mr. Laveaga said some drug smugglers headed "both north and south" wear uniforms and drive military-type vehicles, and might have "confused" U.S. authorities. "Give me a break," said T.J. Bonner, a 27-year Border Patrol veteran who heads the National Border Patrol Council. "Intrusions by the Mexican military to protect drug loads happen all the time and represent a significant threat to the agents. "Why else would they be in the area, firing at federal agents in the United States? There is no other explanation," said Mr. Bonner, whose organization represents all 10,000 of the nonsupervisory Border Patrol agents. He also challenged reports that Mexican military units had crossed mistakenly into the United States, saying, "Every country's military has a [global positioning system] nowadays, including the Mexicans. "If the border is so poorly marked, why don't the thousands of Border Patrol agents working 24/7 along it ever seem to get lost, and none of us have been issued a GPS," he said. A Pentagon spokeswoman said yesterday that she had no information on the reported incursions. A total of 216 incursions by suspected Mexican military units have been documented since 1996 -- 75 in California, 63 in Arizona and 78 in Texas, according to a Department of Homeland Security report. Attacks on Border Patrol agents in the past few years have been attributed to current or former Mexican military personnel. U.S. law-enforcement officials have long thought that current and former Mexican soldiers are being paid to protect drug shipments bound for the United States. Several agents said the attacks have escalated in the past two years as U.S. security efforts on the border have increased -- including the July shooting of two agents in an ambush near Nogales, Ariz., by assailants in black commando-type clothing, who fired more than 50 rounds. Authorities said the gunmen used military-style cover-and-concealment tactics to escape back into Mexico. No one has been arrested. Santa Cruz County, Ariz., Sheriff Tony Estrada said that at least four shooters were involved and that his deputies found commando clothing, food, water and other "sophisticated equipment" at the site. Several former Mexican soldiers trained in the U.S. as anti-drug commandos are now part of a well-armed gang known as the "Zetas," which has been linked to hundreds of killings and kidnappings on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border in southeastern Texas. Many of the gang members have been identified as ex-members of an elite, anti-drug paratroop and intelligence battalion called the Special Air Mobile Force Group, who deserted in 1991.” 8:45:26 AM 1/20/06 “In the good ole days the CIA would send in an assassin and do things quietly. Now they're sending in missiles to bungle their mission. What happened? Oh yeah, no one speaks any of those damn towel head lingo's! Bombs away. Can't we subcontract with Mossad? You know, outsource our assassination jobs?” 9:07:46 AM 1/20/06 “Nice try lee but everyone knows that the lives of US citizens are far more valuable than those of Pakistani peasants.” 9:19:09 AM 1/20/06 Violin “I agree with you . ..US lives are more important . .. but . .. .even then . . ..isn't it ultimately against our long term interests to alienate people.” 10:11:07 AM 1/20/06 “I'm kinda thinking that being 100% Irish decent, you could be on the IRA's list. Although I think the Irish people are the most friendly I've ever hung out with, you are now on my short list of people not to hike with. hehe. Slante'!!” 11:15:39 AM 1/20/06
