3 terrorists escape khobar hostage ordeal...

[gardenweasel]

how the hell 3 of 4 terrorists escape a hostage situation after being surrounded is way beyond me.....

from what i`m hearing,and it`s a little early to know for sure,over 20 hostages were killed....the terrorists asking "who is muslim and who is christian?"......then whacking the christians.....

we ARE in a cultural war...maybe even a religious war(at least that what some islamist factions believe)..... if you could ever take oil out of the equation,the saudi`s would be our mortal enemies...


3 out of 4 or 5 terrorists escape?..........after being surrounded?....i know the siege must have been chaotic,but that`s either gross negligence or,there were terrorist sympathizers inside the saudi commando unit....

my guess is the latter....

somebody start trying to find a LEGITIMATE alternative energy source so we can be done with the backwards middle east......please.....

let `em bomb and murder each other into oblivion...the world would be a better,safer place...

i swear,if there was an independent candidate that declared that his only objective was to find an alternative energy source and make this country oil independent,i`d vote for him in a heartbeat....regardless of the rest of his platform....

of course some shadowy middle eastern s.o.b. or the big oil conglomerates would have him assasinated....and i say that with deadly sincerity...

we are truly in a catch 22 situation regarding the energy situation...

enemies from within....enemies from without...

The terror is not over oil, its over Israel. There is a new wave of anti semitism, and quran readers want to kill jews and Christians.

i agree he....

i agree he....

but,it`s also over westerners physically being in their homeland....

i agree that israel is a part of the issue...but it goes much deeper than that....muslims that aren`t radicals are targets....

if the oil issue were removed,we wouldn`t be wriniging our hands over every gas price increase....our economy wouldn`t be dependent on these miserable f-cks..

half of these middle eastern countries that are supposed allies(saudi arabia for example),probably support terrorists in one way or another...

without the oil,we could draw a clearer line on who we have to deal with and who we can trust in the war on terror...

in all honesty,though,it`s all pie in the sky...can you imagine what it would take to convert the country to an alternative energy source?......adapting cars,planes,furnaces.....all the plastics and dry goods that are produced from crude....

it might not be feasible...


but,you are right about the anti-semitism....particularly in europe...it`s much like pre ww2 europe...people have short memories...
