Remember, these guys are not using high tech weapons. How (and why) would they get high tech boats? Anyway, they would get rockets before they got better boats and there are others further up the chain who want then first. We're just lucky that some terrorist group like Al Queda isn't seeing this as a totally valid way of performing true global terrorism.
As for the preface, if I mention Israel, such as in this article, I'm a shill for them. If I mention Muslims or Islam, I'm just being anti-Islam again. If I talk about Somalis then it brings to mind an earlier post about Islamic supremacists among Somali immigrants which brings it back to Islam again. I'm just tired of having to double think every post I make because it may cause people to think I'm pro or anti, this or that. And its not only here. I've got a teenage girl as a first born (ok, a week pre-teen) and there's nothing I can say around her that's right. And I've got a really sensitive older son who takes anything said as an attack. And and and. I'm becoming a tired old man. Do you want to know how old? I once went to a one room schoolhouse. Until I moved to NY, the largest town I lived in had less than 2 dozen families in it. Maybe its the heat. Or the shoes. It's got to be the shoes (look, a really dated reference) :) On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 6:21 PM, Gruss Gott <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Dino wrote: > > > > I mention this ONLY in context of a previous thread.
