America's Youth? That's just SICK!
 
I'm not sure if this has already been posted but it's really sick!
Have you been watching CNN and catching the news about Al Queda's perfect day?

Nor were the shooters in Columbine or Platt Canyon here in Colorado.

I'm not in favor of any weapons in schools, except when carried by trained law enforcement officers. But, that's not the topic here.

While I'm not saying that this senario is impossible, I'm always suspicious of "sky is falling" predictions. I don't know if Al Queda (I'm never sure of that spelling) is really capable of operations of this size -- and if they are, is all of the money and human resources we're expending on the war on terror being wasted?

One thing that Al Queda is pretty good at is scaring the hell out of people with inuendo and shadowy comments. They haven't always been good at follow up.

I'm sure someone will bring up 9/11, but this alleged operation would be much larger and more complex.

I'm confused. Did you write this or is it quoted from someone/somewhere else?

Don't your kids' schools have liason (sp?) officers in them? I remember in high school we always had a liason officer in school, and he was a city officer.

What does a "Muslim looking man" look like. Because from what I know Muslim is synonymous with Islam which is a religion. Islam has followers all over the world so each "muslim looking man" looks different.

P.S. I lol'ed at the comment "the freak show is in here right now"

Yes, the school our kids attended had a full time deputy sheriff in the building during school hours, and at many major events and meetings.

However, Columbine did (does) as well.

No single law officer would probably be able to stop a well planned terrorist attack, but neither could an armed teacher or teachers. The key word here is "planned." That's why we employ Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Teams.

Either you are "Deborah a mother of three and a college student"

Or you didn't write this.

Even if you did, don't post your blog verbatim on a MB... it's just lazy.

No, I didn't write it. I got it in an e-mail. I didn't really read it all when I got it. :o I just looked at the video. I read it now and I can see why you guys thought I wrote it, so I deleted it. I posted it because I wanted to see if anyone else knew about this, because I didn't.

lol :p I don't have any kids.

I didn't agree with the Muslim part of the article. I do agree with you, none of those murderers were Muslim, and I never said that Muslims are bad people. I don't know who wrote the article, I'm just alarmed at what Osama is planning to do. The artlice may have not been true, but I think the CNN video is true.

Perhaps life lesson time? Don't post something with your name on it if you don't want someone to think you wrote it...
