foiled terrorist plot?

[X #911]

Hopefully, none of us here will ever be in such a horrific situation. .

Yes I would not like to be put in that situation.

YIKES!!!! ALL good comments listed above.
But makes me think of a movie that I watch yesterday = Pearl Harbor (the one with "dreamy" stars Ben A. and Josh Harnett in it).
There was a line in the movie that the scriptwriter had the President Roosevelt say- (something to the fact)
(In regards to dropping the bomb on a selected citys..you know the ones)
"It would only be a pin prick. But it would be one straight through the heart." (not exact wording)
But you know that if we "hit" them where we DO know where there are. It would be a good strike against them.

But the media definitely has 'raised' the level for us. These foiled plots happen ALL the time...the media chooses which one to fill up the air waves with today.
[[[[ An example of this: shark attacks...in a city had that 2 shark attacks in 2 month period. All of a "sudden" there was a massive media attention on shark attacks. But they (the media) failed to report the 15 attacks that happened the 6-12 months earlier!!!]]]

My brother-in-law was in the Marine Corps for 22 years. He served in Beirut, Lebanon, Afghan, Kuwait, you name it, he was there. Told my sister once when he was serving in an operation, that I look for his unit/squad (what ever you call it) on the TV for reporting info. She told me that you will NEVER see him on TV because where he is the media is not. The media gives up the 'imagine" (or knowledge) that THEY want us to think/know. But they truly report bias information.
Everything is peaches & roses - when they want us to think that everything is A-ok. (When in reality there are not.)
Then on the flip side, want us to be in fear of flying (or whatever is the "topic" of the day----swimming off the Eastern seaboard) when it gets them to have huge ratings.
So these "new" foiled plots are nothing new just same story different election year. We (Americans & other troops) foil these plans all the time. This foil happens to be the one (timing) that they wish to talk about it!!

The eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth is stated alot. But the good Book states it like this: (which is same times hard to remember to do...especially when someone cuts you off traffic!!!)

Matthew 5:38-48
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.' "
39 "But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 "If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41-42 "Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two. "Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' "
44-45 "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46-48 "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.



Sorry my post is so long.........awaiting the + and - feedback from this post!!! LOL
We all have the right to think and believe what we wish, this country's founding Fathers gave us that right. And the men and women today fight hard to continue to allow us that keep that right! Pro or Con about the war on terror. Please think of that.
I remember clearly the "letter" that my brother-in-law wrote to us (his family) because he might not have made it home defending what some of us believe to protect the rights of all mankind.
