Comment on Report Suggests U.S. Needs Hit Squads by Chris

I can see the need for such “Hit Squads” and I can see the concerns with just how much power they will be authorized and how it will be limited as well. My concern would be utilizing these forces on innocent civilians as well without any discretion. I believe their scope should be clearly defined, and all involved should be accountable for any of their actions. If we can keep political correctness out of the picture too it would probably be more effective.

I understand the frustration of not being able to find a solution or an end to the terrorists actions. Starting a ‘hit squad’ or ‘kill the drug dealer squad’ or any other kill the bad guys squads is definatelly a bad idea. This is a downhill slope to a police state. Who makes the decision that says this ‘guy’ is a terrorist? Will it be someone who is upset about politics? Or his wife leaving with another man? And on and on. If I were in charge it would be great. I would never do the wrong thing, even if I were to have a mental break-down or get mad at my neighbor. Trust me.
“Report author and retired Lt. Col. George Crawford instead would like to see a permanent group with clear authority, training, doctrine and technology to go after these dangerous individuals. These “manhunting teams would be standing formations, trained to pursue their designated quarry relentlessly for as long as required to accomplish the mission,” he writes.”end quote. Doctrine according to who? Not good. Please read our Constition.

What exactly has the muslim faith ever brought to our United States of America except grief? We are a Christian nation. Will we ever wake up? You all (Army, FBI, Homeland Security) dropped the ball on this one.

I think the time has come to really think long and hard about the ‘converted Muslims’ we have serving in our Armed Forces. My first question was, “Is this guy’s allegiance to America or Allah?”

It appears this person planned what he was going to do and then acted on it to make some kind of ’statement’. That ’statement’, in my opinion, has something to do with his Muslim religion.

It ruins the credability of anyone else who has converted to Islam if we find out he acted on his ‘religious beliefs’.

If Islam is a religion of ‘peace & harmony’, how could something like this ever happen???

That’s MY story and I’m sticking to it…

The Israeli’s have been doing this for a long time. Our leaders need to have the will to take care of this kind of business. In the past presidents have nixed asassinations due to fear of outrage on the parts of foreign governements like the Saudi’s. Bin Laden should have been taken care of long ago. We need a leader that is not afraid to order someone to pull the trigger.

Comment on Modern Warfare 2 Terrorism Footage Stirs Controversy by John Clark

In my opinion the reason why they added this scene is to insue a very emotional response to it, to get the player enraged and wanting to fight the terrorists more.

IT’S supposed to be graphic, disturbing, and disgusting.

I believe the motivation of this killing is to warn OBama against sending any more troops to Afghanistan….that more killings of deployed soldiers could ensue.

Good. That will make it easier to get some answers, before finishing him off.

Comment on 6 Passengers Faint on British Airways Flight by mike

SOunds like hypoxia. But many questions have to be asked. Were the people who fainted smokers, did they exercise well in flight, did they consume adequate fluids onboard and before? had they rested well enough before flight. you are not supposed to sleep inflight for good health. Was the aircraft serviced in strict exact compliance with boeings reccomendations and not altered by the british company who serviced the plane and not altered in any way. But on any flight you are being deprived of oxygen and no artificial cabin pressure will ever be like true groud oxygen levels. if you are in flight na dclose you’re eyes you can feel a bobbing motion sensation in you’re head and it feel like you are rotating around inside you’re own head like a full motion simulator. Pilots often use oxygen masks on descent for safety & health reasons. This is why people are supposed to limit their flying time as it is for stric health reasons as flying every day long distance would probably kill you

The fact that this is even being spoken about… Some things should not be spoken about. In general the American people don’t want to know how they are being made safe they just want to know that they are safe.
