An FBI informant who has helped catch some of the world's most dangerous terrorists is coming out of witness protection to warn that a terrorist sheik in prison remains a significant threat to the U.S.
Emad Salem is urging the U.S. to keep the ailing 74-year-old sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, often known as the Blind Sheik, behind bars and to not transfer him, even as governments overseas continue to press for his release.
"He will kill Americans," said Salem. "He will kill anyone who disputes what he says with a fatwa."
Salem, a one-time Egyptian military officer, had warned officials about the looming 1993 World Trade Center bombing, but his warnings were ignored after a lie-detector test was inconclusive and he said he would never testify at any trial.
After the bombing, Salem agreed to become an FBI informant and managed to become the sheik’s personal assistant and bodyguard. Salem was able to record the sheik ordering the killing of Americans during his time in Jersey City, N.J., and Brooklyn, N.Y.
Salem was also able to link the sheik to the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 injured in that first attack.
Now Salem is concerned about the mounting pressure on the U.S. from Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and other Mideastern government leaders to get Rahman out of American custody.
'A terrible price'
In one letter dated Feb. 26, 2008, the justice minister of Qatar relayed a request from Rahman's family asking U.S. officials to have him transferred back to the nation to serve the rest of his sentence. They said they wanted to be able to visit him more easily, according to the letter by Qatar Attorney General Dr. Ali Bin Fetais Al Marri.
More recently, on this 20th anniversary week of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Rahman's sons wrote on their family website that "America will pay a terrible price" if he is not released soon.
"The rain begins with one drop. America should expect more violent reactions if it does not release the sheik," the sons wrote on the website.

A 1993 photo shows Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who is serving a life sentence in the U.S. for his role in terrorist attacks, including an explosion at the World Trade Center in 1993.
The sons pointed to the killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens as an example of terrorists acting on behalf of the sheik. The terrorists in that attack are believed to have called themselves the “Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman Brigade” in honor of the Blind Sheik.
The family also pointed to the recent attack on a gas plant in Algeria where hostage takers demanded the sheik be set free or American hostages would be killed.
The sons said they were hopeful that Morsi would make progress in working to free the sheik next month or they will "review their options."
Experts said the sheik’s family was intensifying an already active campaign to both seek the sheik’s release and inflame passions among the sheik’s extremist followers.
Calls monitored
The sheik has also been able to call his relatives twice a month from his prison, NBC 4 New York has learned. Officials said the calls are monitored, and his relatives tell NBC News' Ayman Moyheldin that the calls are personal in nature and do not include calls for a violent jihad.
But in one posting on their website, Rahman's sons posted a political message they said was from the sheik. In that message, Rahman urged Egyptians to vote for Morsi in the recent presidential election "because he is the candidate who represents Islam and represents the revolution."
A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman declined to discuss the specifics of the sheik's phone privileges.
Rahman's lawyer, Lynne Stewart, was arrested in 2002 and later convicted for her role in sneaking out terror messages for the sheik in which he called for more attacks on Western tourists in Egypt after the Luxor massacre killed 58 people.
“When are we going to wake up and smell the coffee?” asked Salem. “This man is dangerous in prison. What will happen when he is out of prison?”
A Justice Department spokesman insisted the U.S. government will not be swayed by the appeals from Mideast leaders calling for Rahman's release.
“The Blind Sheik will spend the rest of his life in a U.S. federal prison. Period,” said DOJ spokesman Dean Boyd.
Still, Rahman remains an inspiring figure for al-Qaida and radical jihadist figures across the globe. Salem said he was risking his life stepping forward because the sheik and his followers want him dead.
“They are seeking to get me killed to be a feather in their hat, that 'We killed the man who helped America,'” Salem said.
But he said not stepping forward to warn about the potential threat the sheik and his followers still pose could be an even greater danger.
A New York Police Department spokesman said there is no new specific threat to New York but intelligence officials are aware of the Rahman family website and the terror warnings posted there this week.
While security experts said the sheik does not have operational capability from prison, they agree that as long as he is alive in a U.S. prison he could serve as inspiration for extremists to act.
“This guy -- 1990 or 2013 -- sadly, unfortunately, [is] still in charge of his followers,” Salem lamented. “He is the 'Prince of Jihad’ and will continue to be.”

And our administration is STILL lying and covering it up!! You tube video MY ASS Susan!!!
Great Monday morning quarterback skills you have there sir....
I'm not sure but that looks like a picture of Blind Melon Chittlin wearin a Santa Claus hat to me!
Wrote a song. Wanna hear it? Here it go.
They should give the blind fool more freedom in prison and remove all his special security and transfer him to the prisons "general population" and let his many enemies have a shot at him. Once dead they can toss his a$$ in the Hudson river. Even he knows that a fatwa inside the US would start racial/religious cleansing of anything that even smells like a muslim. There are too many crazies that would love the chance to end the muslim plague in America and would love even the smallest excuse. Ooops, just stepped in Shiite....
It's very simple... We agree to release the man and send him back to his family. On the way home the aircraft has an "accident", crashes into the sea, no survivors. Hey... He was safe here in the U.S. and planes crash all the time. We're sorry for your loss. End of story!
"The sons pointed to the killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens as an example of terrorists acting on behalf of the sheik. The terrorists in that attack are believed to have called themselves the “Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman Brigade” in honor of the Blind Sheik. "
What better reason to keep him in jail?
You seem to really hate the brown people so I was hoping u could please enlighten this audience to why the Obama administration is arming terrorists throughout the world.
he is only allowed phone privileges to call overseas; he should at least have access to a Braille computer, full Internet connections, a much larger cell, of course keep up his special prepared food as is called for by his Muslim diet, add much more lamb; and never refer to him as a Muslim terrorist, that is profiling; since he is a cleric, he should be allowed to preach to the other Muslims in prison, just because he wants to kill all Americans, all non-believers ,all who oppose radical Islam, does not mean he is a bad person, how un-civilized of us.(if someone agrees with what i have said, please seek help.)
You are exactly right Fedup! Obama is lying and the old liberal media's complicit in the coverup! Where's the outrage? What exactly is Obama doing when he said "we won't rest until the people responsible for this (Benghazi slaughter) are brought to justice" Well it seems to me obama's been resting plenty!
saxon don't give up your day job for comedy.
Fedup, please President Obama is trying to make all of the illegal Muslims legal citizens so they can legally plan their attacks on the US.
Thanks Bill!
SOMEBODY has to tell the truth......and it sure wont be this administration! If they lie about this, what ELSE are they lying about?????? Hmmmmm
"His calls are monitored." So, we teach our soldiers to send code if captured and forced to make a public statement. Apparently, the US government doesn't think the Blind Sheik is smart enough to use code, when making his twice monthly, personal phone calls.
Actually, just about everything that Obama says is a baldfaced lie.... just read what he's said will happen if the sequester (he put into law) goes into effect! It's so outlandish it's truly amazing anyone believes it! Talk about 'low information voters', America is full of them today!
why cant we just get along guys:D
that korean teenager is another scary one, somebody should beat the funk out of him.
Baldfaced?? Did you mean boldfaced?
Low information, indeed.
I guy who's been in hiding is now coming out...old news home boy and your fifteen minutes of fame was over long ago. Only MSNBC would take and old story like this and try and the discrattionary tactic of making it a shocker news story. Whoa...just saw elvis and he told me his isn't dead he's been in hiding.
Emad Salem better not worry about us and worry about the bulls eye on his back. Obama had his way with the Blind Sheik he may just let him out on the streets. If its true the Blind Sheik is running things from jail then my question is, what kind of deal did they make with him. He has access to phone anytime he wants, does he have access to the inter net? Guess we will never know because NBC is covering for Obama again, as the story pops killing of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens but no details, I guess not enough have time to follow up on and add to this story.
Everything is a lie.. Politicians are just a bunch of crooks and liars with one objective; Money & Power, and they will sacrifice innocent human lives (our lives) to accomplish that objective.. The government has failed, the system has failed.
Sad, but true.
Do you guys even know how to think for yourselves? Why do you believe EVERYTHING that a "specialists" or "professional" says?
you guys are so brainwashed...
Please try to wake up... THINK FOR YOURSELVES... don't just repeat what is told to you.
So, you think ignoring a powerful religious extremist who wants to destroy our home is somehow "thinking for yourself"?
What exactly is your suggestion?
livinginthewoods: “bald faced” is actually correct (though typically not one word). “Boldfaced” is a more common, though incorrect usage (look it up).
Livinginthewoods:
No, it's bald-faced. Give it a google before you criticize others. :)
"The original term seems to have been bald-faced (bare-faced) and refers to a face without whiskers. Beards were commonly worn by businessmen in the 18th and 19th century as an attempt to mask facial expressions when making business deals. Thus a bald-faced liar was not a very good liar, and was not able to lie without the guilt showing on his face. "
Yes we can all get along . . . the only problem I have is with people who live to kill me because I do not believe in the Prophet Mohammad (their God).
What the jihadists do not seem to realise is that the "non-believers" of this world actually have their own versions of a divine entity that we believe in. That we do not believe in Mohammad is not an affront or an insult to their belief, it is a "choice" we made, just as there are those who have "chosen" to convert to Islam.
However, the extremist radicals do not accept that we should have the "right" to chose our religion. Nor do the radical extremists accept the that we have the right to fight to not be "forced" to accept another entity or God. We also believe it is obscene to reject a basic tenant of Islam, which professes to be religion of peace.
Many things that were correct in the 1800s are no longer correct.
Baldfaced must be the way ultra conservatives say it since they are always stuck in the past.
It's very simple, really. Just put a bullet in his head and throw his body in a grave full of pig@!$%#. Feed him pork and tell him it's chicken. Heck, tell him what it is and shove it down his throat three times a day.
Now that I have said the simple way of taking care of this one terrorist lets talk about the rest. Morsi and his gang have taken a page out of the Corrupt Chicago Democratic Machines play book. Sing and dance. Lie and steal. Then when it all starts to go to hades cry for help and money. Morsi and most of Egypt are our enemies. I say don't give them a dime. Let them rot and die together. As far as I know the only Muslim country worth a damn is the UAE. My daughter spent the Christmas holidays there visiting her girlfriend and her husband. The UAE is quite modern. It is safer there than in Chicago. Hell, it's safer there for women than in any major city in America. That is a very sad fact. The original Emir who founded the UAE believed women were a treasure. He believed they should be protected. He believed they should be educated. Not just basic kid stuff. He meant University level education. In Abu Dahbi a woman can walk the streets in perfect safety. If a woman were attacked in the UAE the attacker would be found and have a very short trial followed by a very short execution. Period. No appeals. No delay. Just tag your it.
My daughter was really impressed with the UAE. If the rest of the Muslim world would follow their pattern we would not be having this conversation. The blind sheiksa would destroy the UAE if he could. If they would try they would find a very very hard time there.
livinginthewoods:
...Where words come from are never "no longer correct". I gave you the ORIGIN of the saying, and you're still saying I'm wrong? Both are said, but bald-faced is the earlier term used, and MORE COMMONLY USED.
Just can't admit when you wrongly try to correct people. Sounds like you're the "low information" one.
The American people are being constantly manipulated to hate any country outside of the influence of the world banking system.
Is it any coincidence that since the attack of September 11, 2001 we have been at war with non-member countries and have seen the downfall of the majority of non-member countries of the world banking system ?
The 3 non-member countries left are North Korea, Iran and Cuba. I suspect before the fall of the last non-member country that there will be a sacrifice made of a major city in order to solidify the move toward a one world government.
We are being mislead.
What do you expect when you treat a terrorist like an American Citizen, give him a trail with rights reservedf or those American citizens and leave him alive and well to run his operation from inside his protected section of prison??? We are not barbarians you say, no we're just dumb enough to help them kill our people.
This POS has no right to live.
livinginthewoods, now why does it have to be an "ultra conservative" thing. Sheesh...you were just plain wrong dude. You typed it...own it. Quit trying to blame some one else for your little boo-boo. Remember snideness doesn't hide anything, just brings more attenention to your mistake. And being a conservative has nothing to do with living in the past, but it sure has a lot to do with hoping we do have a future in this country. Let a killer out of jail, and he will kill again. How many times has that happened here and our leaders haven't learned yet? Above and beyond in country experiences = Prime example...Lockhead bomber.
livinginthewoods
Instead of being rude because someone tried to enlighten you just say thank you and move one. You are trying to be the school yard bully. I did a small research and found the following so I guess you are both right. Just be thankful you still live in a country where you are free to learn something new.
_________________________________________________________________________________
There is often confusion about which word, bald or bold, is the correct one in
this particular idiom. But fret no longer, as we now have the definitive answer:
They’re both acceptable.
Most sources agree
that the original expression, coined in the late 1600s, was actually bare-faced
lie. At that time, bare meant brazen or bold. At that time in history, almost
all men sported a full set of whiskers, and it was considered quite daring or
even audacious for a male to be clean-shaven, or bare-faced. Eventually, the
word for “hairless” went from bare to bald, and so did the description of a
blatant fib.
Bold-faced is now considered acceptable as well, since bold
has the same meaning as bare originally did. Some also interpret bold-faced to
represent a falsehood that seems so obviously untruthful that it should appear
in a bold typeface if it were committed to paper.
Jessicale, Wicked Wanda & Gmainco,
Yeah, you are both right about post 1.18. I will admit that.
As to ultra conservatives being stuck in the past...I stand by that. Though I will add that ultra liberals are no better in my opinion. They are just stuck in a fictional perfect future instead of a fictional perfect past.
And, in school I was actually the kid who beat the bullies ass.
Jessicalc, livinginthewoods really must be living in the woods, lol even when confronted with the truth from several sources deflects rather than admits his mistake(s), a typical liberal/progressive protocol! He is indeed a low information guy!
oops, unfortunately the sheik has been raped to death in his cell. Would you like us to send his blown out O ring?
lol.... another 'boldfaced' lie?
Well, they can put an end to all the hand wringing by giving him the death penalty for his crimes, and nobody will have to worry about where he does his prison time or him directing any more attacks.
Unfortunately, people refuse or are unable to see past the spoon fed, completely choreographed propaganda and would rather waste their valuable brain power arguing the source of words, while the city burns.
Pff. No one is going to send this guy back to Egypt. Everyone with a brain knows that you can't give in to pressure from terrorist organizations just because they threaten violence if their demands aren't met.
On the other hand we do have an extremely dismissive and prejudicial attitude toward the middle east that needs to be fixed. We can afford to be cordial to this guy for the next two or three decades he spends behind bars, depending on how long he lives. Many of the posts here seem to focus on conspiracy theories...there's not much we can do about deepening partisanship and paranoia except try to hang on to our manners.
Yeah and everything printed on the internet is true. Did you know I'm a french super model. Heck I can even refer to many/several sources that claims the embassy/CIA hideout attacks were due to a nonwatched movie about a pedophillac rapist known as Muhammad(may he rot in hell)
This also refers to a post(maybe on another thread) about going to Syria and being killed by the government. This was from a person who also believes what is wriiten by MSM and the government(MORE PROPAGANDA) Take a look at this video and maybe it will open your closed minds on what may be really happening in Syria. When you think about it pics and info comes from the rebels, geez can't figure why they would they lie(sarcasm)

Blah Blah Blah whatever The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Is everything that comes out of government trying to scare the public. OOOh terriorists, OOOh guns, OOOh Sequestor, blah blah blah its getting tiresome folks....
Oh and it is "bald-faced", although recently 'bold-faced' has come into use as a result of people who mishear--or who have inventive speech. In proper linguistics there isn't a clear right and wrong because the idea of "proper" depends on a conflict between two subcultures using language in different ways.
From a linguistic standpoint, whatever enters common usage is proper because language is always changing. Even though "bald-faced" is more correct, "bold-faced" has recently become more used and is therefore also correct.
Baldfece/Boldface, it doesn't matter, Obama is still a big liar.
This is the problem with democracies like US, UK, India etc.
They catch these bastards and then keep them alive for years while they go through the civilian justice system.
Kill the bastards as soon as they are apprehended.
PS - On an unrelated topic, Obama is not a liar. It's the big business controlled reichwing, populated with racist, uneducated, xenophobe, intellectually lazy, haters that is the liar.
The Bald-face story was invented to make bald-face right...It has always been bold-face as in lying with a straight(Bold) face...Find bald-face in an old book from the nineteenth century and I will kiss your arse.
Republicans say bald-face and Democrats say bold-face.
The W. administration was the most untruthful administration in recent history. Even Nixon didn't lie like that, he just thought anything he did was legal because he was the boss...You nuts who think the O administration is so bad would what ? Take us back to the WMD's in Iraq years ? FU.
this is all a bunch of horse crap...it sounds like the WWE..the blind sheik is gonna get you..you people are brainwashed sheep that fall for this kind of crap...good luck in hell
SW Philly-
Really? Please, please, for the love of everything good, go get yourself an education. At the very least, go check out the merriam-webster dictionary.
TO BE CLEAR:
My point, when I pointed out that "bald-faced lie" was not incorrect, was that you need to make sure you're actually CORRECT when you attempt to correct people.
ken -2082571 banned for wishing for genocide. No thanks.
Allah-la-la-la! Blah-bla-bla-bla-bla! Allah-la-la-la!!!
The blind sheik must become dead...
He should commit suicide in his cell. He should tie his hands behind his back, and his feet together, then climb to the top bunk, tie a noose, slip it around his neck, then jump off.
He can't commit suicide it is against the Koran. Ohhh wait so is the killing of innocent people sorry about that my bad.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama pardon the a$$hole!
nonsense
Yeah, and it is a pretty good indicator of just how far downhill MSNBC has gone that so many dumb asses here voted that comment up.
Obama is just as big a crook and liar as any other politician but, to think he is so much worse is just plain gullible and stupid!
If y'all want to drink the FoxNews koolaid go ahead but please, keep it there
Of course you wouldn't be surprised Steve H. You'll believe any outrageous lie when it comes to Obama.
Yeah sure, Obama is gonna pardon Rahman. He's gonna invite him to the White House as an honored guest right after he pardons him. Since complete fantasy seems to be the mode of this conversation, let's take it 1 step further and give him a guided tour of Ground Zero and the new Freedom Tower?
SteveH, just wondering... are you surprised by the FACT that the Obama administration has deported more illegals in 4 years than Bush did in 8?
as much as i hate the extreme right when it comes to fox news...i truly try not to eat up every good thing the president is claimed to have done. This deportation number is a perfect example. They count it differently now so people who are turned away are counted as deported. The actual number of illegals ALREADY living here who have been deported is actually far less unfortunately.
SteveH,
Yeah, the President will pardon the blind sheik, just like he pardoned bin Laden. You do realize that more terrorists have been killed under this administration than under the previous five administrations combined?
But hey, why let facts get in the way.
Forest.... Don't you think that the reason why there have been more terrorists killed in the last 4 than in the previous 8 is due to the fact that the intel on where they are has gotten better? Perhaps you are trying to intimate that Bush was harboring the intel and allowing them to live? I am confused about your position.
My position is that President Obama is NOT letting terrorists go. Damn right intel has gotten better, and we are using it.
If Osama Obama thought he could get away with it he probably would do it. But he's not stupid. He may be a liar, thief, and fraud just like the rest of the Corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine. But he's not a complete idiot. Just look at JJ Jackson and his wife. Look at Blago sitting in Jail. Heck, another Governor of our great state just got out because he was corrupt. Go Figure it out.
I live in Southern Illinois and I can assure you that Osama Obama did not carry the vote down here. The only place he would have would have been East St. Louis or Cairo. Look at the Census bureaus demographic for those two fine cities. They explain why Osama Obama would be popular there.
Living in the woods. Osama Obama is a product of his environment. Gee, that sounds like the rationale that all of the gang bangers families use. Judge he really is a good boy. He can't help it if he steals. He murdered that woman because she could have identified him. He couldn't make it in jail. He wouldn't be able to steal to feed his crack habit. We can't afford to give him the money to buy his crack in jail. Besides it probably smells like Butt. How can you expect him to do crack that smells like butt?
Just think how many MORE terrorists would have been eliminated if someone other than Barry Hussein Obama was in the White House!!!
Blah blah blah.. Whatever.. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! It sure seems like the government (progressives really) are trying to scare everyone with doomsday. OOh terrorists, OOoh guns, OOOh Sequestor, OOOh right wing people. etc.. Its getting tiresome folks.... Progressives Develop a new playbook that supports Americas values or regulate yourselves to your name once again becoming a CANCER.
"they agree that as long as he is alive in a U.S. prison he could serve as inspiration for extremists to act." Who agrees? Sounds to me like we have some cowards in our government that feel we might be better off letting this murderer our to Prison? I'd like to see some names of who "they" are.
where is team cancer?
And or dingdong politions want to ban assault rifles? Instead it should be required that every household has at least one!
I think America should initiate a fatwa against scum like the sheik. Use to be you did not mess with America or Americans overseas. We need to go back to that mind set. Mess with us and you will never be seen again.
Some one in prison should kill him. "wink, wink" US Gov....
Just kill his blind-ass and get it over with. He did not have any mercy for Americans why should we treat him any different? Besides he stinks up the prison.
Confussed has already touched on it in his post, but I will elaborate.
Is this a "wink" that the sheik should die of natural causes in our prison, or is it a prelude to softening the American citizens wrath when the announcement comes that we will be releasing him to Egypt for "humanitarian" reasons?
There is an underlying framework for including "security experts" and "as long as he is alive in a U.S. prison" in the same sentence.
It is amazing how religion makes people blind and hateful.
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery...
Pres. Obama's new friend in Egypt (The one he is sending all of those Tanks and Fighter Jets to) is demanding the release of a know international terrorist. Am I the only one who see's a problem with this picture? I still hear liberal politicians get on TV and refer to the "Arab Awakening". I think a more appropriate term would be the "Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood" an organization devoted to the destruction of the "Great Satan" (if you're reading this comment they're likely referring to you).
First it appears to me, more Americans are killing Americans with the assault rifles, when Bush allowed the NRA to put them back on the market. As for the "Blind Sheik" he will go the way of Osama bin Ladin and all of the other extremist, who venture to harm Americans.
I have more faith in President Obama's ability to protect us, the Bush who was friends with the Bin laden's family and his daddy, who helped put Hussein into power.
I am not naive enough to believe 100% of what our government says, but I would back them over any other country's government.
As for this blind Sheik, I believe FOX, has the same problem with the faux "personalities," who give the pretend news. Only, they are blind, deaf and dumb! Unfortunately, they are not mute!
I think that the Sheik is getting ideas from that Baptist Church which protested in Newtown Ct.,they said the kids "had it coming", that same Baptist Church calls American soldiers "cursed by God" because the Army now allows Gays to join the Army...I think Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann belong to that Baprist Church and that they toast the Sheik...
give me an ice pick and thirty seconds with the sheik and I'll take care of the filth......guaranteed..

And the terrorist obama is giving tanks and fighter aircraft to Morsi.
wes
If you only had a brain?
if only YOU did flnobody!!
You dont give F-16s and tanks to TERRORISTS!!!!!!!!!!!
An ignorant sob was seen spewing this:
Since when is the Egyptian military a terrorist organization?
We gave Stinger missles to Osama Bin Ladens crew back in the day to hold off the Russians. We just never learn from our mistakes...........
Calling Obama a terrorist may actually have some basis in fact but if so, then so is Bush Sr. and most other recent American presidents.
We have been training and supplying our future enemies for as long as I can remember. It did not start with Obama and it will not likely stop with Obama.
If you want to start placing blame, aim it where it belongs. At the moneygrubbers who pull the strings on our supposedly elected officials and twist legislature and federal policy in their best interest at the expense of We The People..
@IXLR8,
I'm not retyping this again though in hindsight there is alot more that I could and should add. Hopefully David-475776 or another PARTICIPANT with actual FIRST hand knowledge comes along and fills in what I miss.
"@
6dogs,Your Statement: "Bin Laden worked for Bush Sr..... Yes, sort of. In those days we secretly supported the (not sure of spelling) Mujhadeen that were fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. Al Qaeda didn't exist at that time."
The ONLY part of your statement that is correct is: "Al Qaeda didn't exist at that time." . When the U.S. supported the PRO US Mujahideen the Taliban and al-Qaeda were no where to be found.
Nope ...............Not Really. In fact not even close. There are plenty of other published ACCURATE sources (unlike YOURS) but David-475776's is the quickest and easiest to get to without a whole lot of typing and editing.
"the USSR 40th Army Occupation withdraws due to the USSR Citizens Public Outrage. Senator Charles Wilson begs US Congress for funding to help the US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeen rebuild Afghanistan back to what it was before the 1979 USSR Invasion and USSR 40th Army Occupation. US Congress flat out refuses, without the backing of the US the US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeen are left with a War Torn Nation, few survivors, very little weapons, no money to rebuild Afghanistan back to a US Ally "Little America" of the 20th Century.
The US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeen start to lose the Popular Support of the Afghan People since even the US abandoned them.
The Pro USSR Afghans (the other half of the Afghan Population) that fled into USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran return to Afghanistan, after years (1979 to 1989) of Islamic Sanctuary at Fundamentalist Islamic Iran. As part of Islamic Sanctuary (duty of host, duty to the host of those receiving the Islamic Sanctuary), many of these Pro USSR Afghans became Fundamentalist Islamic Believers, and many even fought on the side of USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Iran during the Iran Iraq Wars (becoming Battle hardened experienced Combat Veterans).
They become the 1990s Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban as fully supported by USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Iran.
Since the US Ally 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen were abandoned by the US and basically left with nothing. It was very easy for the 1990s Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban fully backed by USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran to massacre the 20,000 to 50,000 US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeenas well as the millions of their Families, Relatives, In Laws, Friends, etc.. The International News Media were banned out of Afghanistan during this time, only their Ally, the USSR News Media was allowed; with the USSR Tass News recording videos of the eliminations of the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen that were caught beaten, tortured, then hanged by the necks, to the extent that all the trees in the Afghan Cities looked like christmas trees, the ornaments being the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen; the mass graves of the families, relatives, in laws, etc. of the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen. This is what happened to anyone at Afghanistan that were Collaborators to the Christians, Jews, Unbelievers.
The Iran Iraq War ends after US Ally Iraq uses Chemical Weapons against the Fundamentalist Islamic Iranians, and their armed (men, women, children) allies the Kurdistanis. USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Iran can now concentrate more of their efforts on their support of the Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban and enemy neighbors (US Allies) Afghanistan and Pakistan. As the Iran Iraq War was basically unwinable since the US used "Nuclear Diplomacy" (the threat of Nuclear War, by placing the Pershing Missiles of the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) into the upright launch mode as an "informal declaration of nuclear war") to stop the USSR from giving the Fundamentalist Islamic Iran Chemical Weapons.
The Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban chased the surviving 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen back to what the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen thought was safe from during the USSR 40th Army Occupation at the Afghan Refugee Camps at Pakistan, and are massacred at Pakistan also by the Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban. To make sure that the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen never reorganize or exist again the Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban start up the Pakistanis Taliban to remain in Northwestern Pakistan.
The 1990s Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban become the Government of Afghanistan with the Full Backing of USSR Backed Fundamentalist Islamic Iran.
8. During the USSR 40th Army Occupation, the defeat of the USSR 40th Army Occupation by the 1980s Pro US Afghan Muhajeen, the US Abandoning US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeen, the massacres ofthe US Ally Pro US Afghan Muhajeen by the Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban, the start of the Fundamentalist Islamic Taliban Government of Afghanistan; OsamaBin Laden is still living with his rich Relatives at Saudi Arabia and starting the formation of his New anti Saudi Arabian Government, anti US, Fundamentalist Islamic Jihadist Organization, Al Quada.
To gain International Recognition for the new Fundamentalist Islamic Jihadist Organization Al Quada and the Support of Fundamentalist Islam (Mandatory Islamic Tithes) they start planning the 1993 First World Trade Center Bombings. The only CIA that Osama Bin Laden would have been associated with would have been when he was at New York City, the New York City Culinary Institute of America.
During the US Military Training Teams it was Standard Operating Procedure to photograph, fingerprint, document details of everyone trained (name(s), date of birth, physical features, all relatives, place of birth, age, height, weight, color of eyes, color of hair, next of kin, etc; as potential future Intelligence Assets and part of the Basic vetting process (so there was no infiltrations by Counter Insurgency Warfare Forces or Enemy Intelligence Agencies)." -

livinginthewoods they are called the NWO and they are the greatest enemy the USA has ever encountered. Get ready for a war like no other. A war for humanity.
Thrill22, Bingo!
Glad to see I am not the only one brainwashed by the wedge issue bull@!$%# that our elected officials pull on us at the behest of their moneygrubbing masters!
No body is going to give a @!$%# about, gun control, birth control, large sodas, circumcision, or gay marriage when they are making 7$ an hour and a gallon of gas and a loaf of bread cost 10$ each!!!!
At the rate bigmoney is @!$%#ing us with the governments(bipartisan) approval (CitizensUnited&Obama/RomneyCare) it won't be long now...
Whoops..supposed to be "Glad to see I'm not the only who is not brainwashed by the wedge issues.."
Livinginthewoods post #3.8:
YES! All throughout election season, I've been looking at all of the non-issues that everyone wants to make huge issues. I think we need to focus on the economy #1, because if it doesn't get better, no one will have the luxury to worry about "gun control, birth control, large sodas, circumcision, or gay marriage " anymore!
You are exactly right, they're making these issues bigger to divide us, and key players on BOTH sides of the aisle are doing it.
fedup
How many did bush give them?
"The Egyptian Air Force operates 220 F-16s"
http://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article4.html
I wouldn't give them any either. But I don't think 4 more will matter. 220 vs 224
Boy these terrorists surely do make alot of threats against Americans, do they think for 1 second that we take them seriously anymore? They do threaten US often, so all we can do is be vigil and stay on defense until we become offensive. How about we start threatening them and see how they like it, after all, talk is cheap.
How about we wait until they are all in their comfort zone and "shock and Awe" them or maybe just SHOCK them.
They do threaten a lot. All of their threats except a very few are so much hot air. The problem is finding the threats that are real. We, the targets, must be 100% successful to be successful. The terrorists need only 1 successful act to be perceived as the winners. No threat can be ignored.
Yeah ...keep that drone killin' machine going!!!!!!!! should have been killed a long time ago. we killed the OKC bomber,twin towers #2 bomber(plotter)..why not this BITCH?
WE should give him his eye sight back,via operation,then let him see his executioner,wrapped in the AMERICAN FLAG!!!!!!!. A bullet for EVERY american killed in first attack!!!!!!
I think we should send a drone to their home and leave a package on the front door.
If he is still involved in terrorism like they claim lets try him again only this time we should grant him the courtesy of allowing Sharia law, then we can immediately lob off his dysfunctional head and send him home in pieces, better yet bury him next to Osama, that way a shrine can not be erected, the only problem is we wont be able to eat sea food for the next 500 years. in that case send him to the space station wrap him in TP and give him a solid nudge in a westerly direction into deep space, with his head in tow.
To bad that dealing with this POS proper would be considered Politically Incorrect! Clinton never wanted to hurt the Islamist feelings and Obama is worried about what the Muslims would think of him if he dared to be harsh with the Muslim people, its OK for them to Execute and Murder on a whim but America has rules, they count on that to assist them in their endeavors, get real this guy moved to America so he could be close to the people he wanted to kill, how sick is that? if some of the thousand + casualties were Muslims working at the trade center that would be OK and suicide that is against Islamic teaching is OK if you do it to commit the murder of Alla's children another degenerated method of thinking this guy has no business being locked up he should not even be alive, His family is no better they have confessed their intentions now go get them before they carry out their promises, if they don't exist they can't hurt you. we need to help them to not exist.
saw some signs the other day, the one was on this big beautiful gate that read " stay away from the virgins " and the other was on this spooky looking gate that had the smell of rot and smoke coming from within, Get your Virgins here ! in fine print it said if you like Muslim boys? the boy part I got out of the holy book from the teachings of Mo himself. its a verry confusing religion and very contradicting, according to the teachings those Virgins may turn out to be something other then what you want.
from the words of a former president " the united states does not negociate with terrorists "
in self defence we however could neutralize the threat.
Actually, Ronald Reagan negotiated with the terrorists in Iran who held our embassy staffers hostage..........he was the boss of the former president whom you mentioned.
yes,so true...and then had the prisoners released on inauguration day !!! Yes some of us still remember that unadulterated charade by Reagan and his minion's.
Obamas gives the Muslim Brotherhood (Morsi) F16's, tanks, and 1.5 billion dollars. How's that working out for us ?
For the past 30+ years, EVERY president has given military aid to Egypt. That's part of the bribe we agreed to in order to end the six days war.
We do NOT give them tanks + F-16's + $1.5 Billion. We give them the $1.5 Billion and they use it to purchase F-16's, Apache helicopters. They use some of that money to build their own M1A1 Abrams tanks, with tech support from General Dynamics Land Systems.
These programs are kept alive by the Military Industrial complex, more than any other reason. If you happen to be one of the Americans that still have a job thanks to these programs, the whole thing is working out pretty well for you.
Singbiker, good explanation. Of course, it's very difficult for Mr. Perry and his ilk to think out-of-the-bubble in which they dwell.
Using their (il)logic:
Reagan gave Beirut to Hezbollah, and GW gave Iraq to Iran, along with a large smattering of butt-kissing and billions to the Pakistanis.
They use that money to also buy cheap food for their population, causing it to swell and invade Europe. It is disgusting. European governments are still so far left they continue to feed house and clothe illegals even as the illegals just have more children.
This will continue the degredation of the European economy.
The aid doesn't go to the Brotherhood, it goes to Egypt's secular military, and has for the last 3-4 decades you morons....
I don't think that there is anything "secular" about the Egyptian government at this time.
In fact, I doubt that there is much of anything secular left in all of the middle east.
Take a good look, because that is the same direction this country is headed too, BACKWARDS further into superstition!
The world needs a proper holocaust on the global muslim plague.
Yea the President and the US government send F-16s to the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt while attempting to confiscate American citizen's guns. GO FIGURE!
beauford pusser @5.6 Was hitler your father? Only your religion is right? What do you think we should do to the Muslim's in America? Please give us a answer!
Well that is a difficult situation altogether, isn't it?
To anyone with two eyes, two ears, and half a brain in their head, it is obvious that islam is, in fact, our real enemy and not the various puppet theocratic governments of the middle east. But, my guess is that the 1st Amendment pretty much makes it illegal to declare war on a religion thus binding the hands of our government to protect us from our real enemy.
Start chucking a MOAB at a mosque in the middle east for every American that dies at the hands of a religious extremist and see if they don't find some act right real quick!
It is the 21st @!$%#ing century time to wake the @!$%# up and realize that freedom "of" religion is not nearly as important as freedom "from" religion. Freedom "of" superstition doesn't even make any damn sense!
Smitty; The Minneapolis area Somali refugee influx has certainly advanced diversity! I don't know whether it has improved America....
While I agree, for the most part with post 5.9, I recall a young lady I was seeing in the seventies. I slipped the F-word out and she said; "I never use the F-word ...unless someone T-boned my new BMW" and with a lower voice; "or on occasion, in the bedroom" Why so many F-words? It does nothing to enhance your argument. In this case, it is but a frivolous use.
As I recall, Ronald Reagan negotiated with the terrorists who seized our Embassy staff in Iran....the payoff which he gave to Iran included those F 14 "Top-Gun" fighter jets,Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, etc.
An F 14 Tomcat threat is like showing up at a street race with a bone stock 1949 flat-head Ford in a world of 1965 GTOs. The weaponry of the RR era technology is passe. Besides, we had already "sold" that era's technolgy to Iran while the Shah was in the driver's seat.
The Blind Sheik sounds a lot like the chief bad guy in the TV show "The Following." Give him a chance to communicate with his followers outside the prison and he'll trigger all kinds of murder and mayhem. So, don't ever give him that chance. Ever.
I was thinking that he looks kinda like Santa Klaus.
Bad Santa, the sequel.
The Blind Sheik is on the phone twice a month. You think he's not smart enough to communicate in code? The US government thinks he's just talking personal stuff. Either the USG knows he's sending code, and is trying to break it, or the USG is more blind than the Sheik.
Yep, whoever said we should put him in a 727 and put enough petrol in the jet to get halfway across the ocean, perfect. "Oops, sorry, I don't really know anything about that jet that supposedly crashed into the sea." Only thing I would add is to make the jet leak just enough so as it sits at the bottom of the ocean, it takes about a week to fill up with water. Keep his miserable ass alive long enough to watch as the fusilage of the plane fills up.
Mike... why on earth would you waste a perfectly good airplane on this POS?
This guy isn't worth 1 gallon of jet fuel... and you wanna waste an entire plane?
I'm sure he would choose death/martyrdom over being a caged rat. I say keep him a caged rat.
Exactly, Planes aint cheap, put the rest of his "boys" on the plane. Then it might not be such a waste of good money
I find just unbelievable that this man WARNED THE FBI BEFORE the 1993 WTC Bombing and the FBI IGNORED HIM, Incompetent, arrogant SOB's!
As Far as The Blind Sheik, Kill Him, PERIOD!
The CIA sent Bush a memo and circulated it thru the Defense Department in July 2001 reference to a terrorist training cell at an airport some 30 miles from Baghdad in Iraq. They advised the FBI and Sec. of Defense that there was a fuselage there at the end of the airport of a Boeing 707 which had been stripped of its wings and other parts, and the terrorists were training in the fuselage of how to take over the aircraft with box cutters. It was ignored. Note the date.
Do you have a copy of that memo to share?
FACT: Iraq / Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11/01. However, the GW administration had ample warning of the al Qaida activities.
Perry, that is a load of crap. Had you said Afghanistan, I might have believed ya. There has never been ANY proof Saddam Hussein had anything to do with the events leading up to the attack on 9/11.
But....but...but that's not what DumbFux News told Perry. You know it doesn't matter if it is true or not, he will just keep repeating what they told him to say.
Three months before 9/11, the actor James Woods was on a coast to coast flight in the USA,sitting in 1st Class, he noticed that there were 5 "Arab-looking men", and that once the pilot lifted the seat belt restriction, these Arab-looking-men, gathered in one corner of the 1st class section where 2 of them had seats...
James Woods saw them looking furtively around,and suspected that they might be terrorists about to commandeer the flight...so, he got up, stretched,and pretended to seek exercise by walking down the aisle to Economy class seating, where he told a stewardess about his concerns...she agreed with him,told Woods that the pilot had locked the flight crew into the cockpit and alerted the ground.
The plane landed uneventfully,however...yet, James Woods was so certain that it was a hijack crew,that he called the FBI from the airport,and told an agent about his observations...the agent just did a telephone interview,and that was that...
The Bush White House and the Republican-majority in the House, had sliced into the Dept. of Justice and FBI operating budget..alas......3 months later, it was 9/11/01...they had also failed to take steps to improve airport security, OR to do anything about the multiple warnings which they had received about Arabs taking lessons on how to fly jet airliners...and that those Arabs specifically stated they didn't want to learn how to take-off, or to learn how to land....
Bush took the minds of Americans away from White House screw-ups,and failure,by invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11 ( the terrorists were mostly Saudi's),also there was no Al Quaida in Iraq ( Sadaam Hussein had kept them out),and also, despite 2 very thorough UN investigations which showed that Iraq had no Weapons of Mass Destruction...Bush still went ahead and needlessly invaded Iraq...155,000 dead Iraqi's...mostly civilians caught in bombings and cross fire, the 600,000 Christian minority of Iraqis, fled into Jordan and other nations because our invasion fragmented the power which Hussein had used to maintain peace in Iraq.
Incidentally...the FBI showed up at James Woods house the next day...9/12, and showed photos to him,of Arab men..he pointed to the face of Mohammad Atta, who was one of the "pilots" who struck the 1st World Trade Center bldg.; Woods also fingered another one of the Arab men who was on his flight, as another of the conspiratorial Arabs on his flight..obviously, they were making a trial run,and they probably had box-cutters and were very well pleased with their trial success.
Woods never again heard from the FBI, or from any other government official in the Bush White House.
Threatening the US will not expidite him back to Egypt. My only question is if he does go back to Egypt will he simply run his power base directly through his jail cell like countless criminal master minds have done in the past?
Daniel do you have any Fing idea how many WARNINGS the FBI/CIA/Home land sicurity get on a DAILY basis?
Yes, Domewars. They do get quite a bit of warnings from all over the place, and some misinformed. But then again, look at the insanely inflated budgets of these agencies...and the influx of agents they have with these funds. It is their JOB to follow/check the validity of 100% of them, because it only takes one percent of them slipping through the cracks to cause a Twin Towers type event.
The statement you just made, reducing the accountability on those agencies, insults the families of those who died in such a tragic attack. Those families deserve better and their overly funded government agencies who could have prevented the attack failed them. If it was your family that died in that attack...what if I told you...'Well, do you know how many warnings the government gets? It's understandable that they overlooked it and your family died.' That's basically the insinuation of your statement.
If he was ever returned to the middle east I'm sure his "prison' would look alot like the one that Pablo Escobar lived in in Columbia.
How about transferring him to Gitmo?
maybe we missed something, get some krytonite and throw it in his cell, if his deathray vision is impaired we'll know we arrested superman, the blind @!$%#ake...........
More Washington, boogie talk. OOOh be afraid---- be very afraid. Stuff they use to start wars. We're on to ya Washington! Well some of us anyway.
I don't think it's so bad that his family must travel to have a personal visit with him. The families of those who he killed/had killed must travel to the cemeteries where they are buried for their visits. If his family wants to visit him at a closer location, I think their family cemetery would be plenty close for them. Works for me.
You have to admit, it is hard to take 1950s Santa seriously, though. Needs some tats to get the ire really raging.
My thoughts exactly only I see him playing Jazz at some smoke filled gin joint.
It would have been nice if you nutbags had been worried about the real terrorists Bush and Chenney that got thousands of Americans killed with their lies. Just sayin.
You need to take your meds. How dare you compare any President or Vice President of the United States to a terrorist. I don't care if they are democrat or republican. You are disrespectful and unAmerican. Go someplace else and give us all a break.
You are a frickin scumbag George for even making a statement like this. I agree with Proud. In fact maybe you should take a long trip over to Saudi and try expressing your stupidity and see how long you last. What a dumba##
george,your one of these pathetic libs that take advantage of all the freedoms of this country,your probably a 10th year college student on food stamps. GW nor Cheney were terrorists,they were trying to save your pathetic ass from terrorism. Learn the difference or move
Proud, I think his name says it all, he got ya Hook, Line, and Sinker and you bit.
I would really just like both political sides to stop throwing their stones at the puppets and start aiming for those pulling the strings!!!
Big money is the REAL enemy!
I will give you Darth Cheney though. That evil mother@!$%#er is no puppet, he was the puppets master. He is right up there with the Krotch bros.
Cheney was willing to fight anyone, to the last drop of your blood. Draft dodging wimp.
Gunowner45, people like you are the reason that we have already lost the battle to defend the 2nd Amendment.
Bassackwards rednecks have been more responsible for destroying their own way of life, much more so than any damn liberal. Keep on blaming everybody else for all your @!$%#ing problems though...
I doubt very seriously that you are a South Park fan but just watch the episode, "Chef Goes Nanners" for a great example of this.
Frank did he dodge the same draft that Bill Clinton dodged?
The family obviously does not know how we work. We wait for something to happen, then, we act.
Ditto....Always reactive never proactive...thats how we do.
Well, that depends on what is at stake.
If it is the lives and security of We The People, then yeah we are always reactive.
But let a few dimes worth of the interests of big money come into jeopardy and see how proactive we become, right quick and in a hurry!
We are told that we need to learn that Islam is a religion of peace. Sorry, but I learned all I need to know about Islam on 9/11. So did my friends who died there. The Sheik need to rot right where he is.
I agree with you. Further, I would not only keep him in prison here until he dies, I would cut off all of his communication with anyone in the outside world, his family included. He deserves no privileges or considerations. Let him have a Koran and spend his days meditating on his so-called "religion of peace."
I'm not normally so vengeful, but it really annoys the hell out of me when criminals (any and all kinds of criminals) are allowed to continue their criminal activities from incarceration. That defeats the purpose of punishment.
We already know that very little personal reform or growth takes place in prison, so punishment it must be. If that means being cut off from the rest of the world, well, you know the inmates have a saying, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." We should listen to them.
Show us your Hand, So we can Show You OUR HAMMER!
stuido, they already have it is terrorism, our Hammer should be terrorism!
Nobody wants to see disgraced x congressman tom (the hammer) delay. Well maybe his mugshot.
So knock this useless prick in the head and get it over with.
I say we film the decapitation, just like they do.
Hmmmm wonder if we give him a lobotomy and chemical castration at tax payers’ expense then his family can send him a plane ticket home, our folks would probably be willing drive him to the airport. But if the family is not there to pick him up he may wander aimlessly around the airport trying to figure out who he is and why he is there for a very long time.
Then all concerned get what they want. Family and friends get him back at least in body if not mind. We rid ourselves of a threat and a government dependent.
It's a Win Win
Why is he wearing a Santa hat? Since he is blind is someone playing a joke on him?
Next week they're going to switch the Santa hat with Easter Bunny ears....tee-hee-hee
Because he is Sheikh Claus, he brings bombs to all the good Muslim children.
Ho...Ho...Ho
omg.. haha thanks for the laugh shawn!
Why this country does not use the death penalty for more crimes I will never know. We should be killing people like this and be done with it from the beginning. Maybe a drone strike in the exercise yard to make up for it.
You kill him you make him a martyr... let him rot in prison for the rest of his life.
Feed him pork instead of lamb.
Send him back? are they serious. We need to dip our bullets in pig blood and then shoot anyone who tries to aid this blind @!$%#. anyone...
Hang the sheik with 8 rashers of Bacon
That's a waste of some fine bacon there Compromise....
Threats, threats, threats.
As if any of these people would change their behavior one iota if the Sheik were released.
Anyone who would consider releasing or turning this gangster over to an Arab government is simply stupid.
"Stupid" seems to be contagious on the Hill. So, we'll see.
Too bad another inmate hasn't dealt with the situation. Probably in isolation for protection. Too bad. He needs to stay put.
I think it's time to review options, for sure. I get a little nauseious reading some of these comments and wonder what country I'm living in. I think there should be "consequences" for making threats and scare tactics when it comes to political prisoners. The sheik should be moved to a 4 x 6 cell with bright fluoresent lights 24-7, monitor camera 24-7, no tv or newspapers, no mail privilege, restricted diet (pork only) and I betcha these guys will change their tune pretty quick. We are being too nice, period. I am not sure this guy is entitled to any privileges whatsoever, in any case.
