IF NO ONE ELSE HAS THE GUTS TO SAY IT, I WILL!
EVERY ONE OF THESE ATTACKS WAS DONE BY ARAB MUSLIMS!
DUH!
"PEACEFUL MUSLIMS"? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING, OR ELSE YOU ARE BRAIN DEAD. BUT PROBABLY, JUST PROBABLY, YOU ARE TRYING, OH SO HARD, TO BE
POLITICALLY CORRECT.
SOMEONE EMAILED THIS TO ME. I DON'T KNOW WHO COMPILED IT, BUT IT IS INFORMATION THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD KNOW!
AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE
UP!
That's
what we think we heard on the 11th
of
September 2001 (When more than 3,000 Americans were
killed) and maybe it was, but I think it should have been
'Get Out of Bed!' In fact, I think the alarm clock has
been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the
snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of
peaceful sleep since
then.
It was
a cool fall day in November 1979 in a
country going through a religious and political upheaval
when a group of Iranian students attacked and seized the
American
Embassy in Tehran . This seizure was an
outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that
held the world's most powerful country hostage &
paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this sovereign
U. S. Embassy set the stage for events to follow for the
next 25 years.
America was still
reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and
had a serious threat from the Soviet
Union when then, President
Carter, had to do something.
He chose to conduct a clandestine
raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin,
but stood as a symbol of America's inability to deal with
terrorism.
America 's military had
been decimated and down sized/right sized since the
end of the
Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly
equipped and poorly organized military was called on to
execute a complex mission that was doomed from the
start.
Shortly after the Tehran
experience,
Americans began to be
kidnapped and killed throughout the Middle East . America
could do little to protect her citizens living and
working abroad. The attacks against
US soil
continued.
In
April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with
high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in
Beirut
When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off
again and America hit the Snooze Button once
more.
Then just six short months
later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden
down with over 25 00 pounds of TNT smashed through the
main gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut
and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead
and hit the Snooze Button once
more.
Two months later in
December 1983, another truck loaded with
explosives is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait
, and America continues her
slumber.
The following year, in
September 1984, another van was driven into
the gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America
slept.
Soon the terrorism spreads
to Europe . In
April 1985 a bomb
explodes in a restaurant
frequented
by US soldiers in
Madrid.
Then in
August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with
explosives is driven into the main gate of the US Air
Force Base at Rheine-Main, 22 are killed and the snooze
alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are
continually attacked.
Fifty-nine
days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the
Achille
Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an
American in a wheelchair is singled out of the passenger
list and
executed.
The
terrorists then shift their tactics to
bombing civilian airliners when they
bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986that
killed 4 and the most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight
103 over
Lockerbie , Scotland in 1988,
killing
259.
The wake up alarm is getting
louder and
louder.
The
terrorists decide to bring the fight to
America . In
January 1993, two CIA agents are
shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley,
Virginia
The
following month,
February 1993 , a group of
terrorists are arrested after a rented van packed with
explosives is driven into the underground parking garage
of the World Trade
Center in New York City .
Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured.
Still
this is a crime and not an act of war? The Snooze alarm is
depressed again.
Then in
November 1995 a car bomb
explodes at a US military complex in
Riyadh Saudi
Arabia killing seven service
men and women.
A few
months later in June
of 1996, another truck bomb
explodes only 35 yards from the US military compound in
Dhahran , Saudi
Arabia .
It destroys the Khobar
Towers , a US Air Force barracks, killing
19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting
braver and smarter as they see that America does not
respond decisively.
They move to
coordinate their attacks in a
simultaneous attack on two US
embassies in Kenya
and Tanzania. These attacks were planned with
precision. They kill 224.
America
responds with cruise
missile attacks and goes back to
sleep.
The USS
Cole was docked in the port of
Aden,
Yemen for refueling on 12
October 2000 , when a small
craft pulled along side the ship and exploded killing 17
US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war,
but we sent the FBI to investigate the
crime and went back to sleep.
And
of course you know the events
of 11 September
2001. Most Americans
think this
was the
first attack against US soil or in America . How wrong
they are. America has been under a constant attack since
1979 and
we chose to hit the snooze
alarm and roll over and go back to
sleep.
In the news lately we have
seen lots of
finger pointing from
every high official in government over what they knew and
what they didn't know. But if you've read the papers and
paid a little attention I think you can see exactly what
they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA or on
the National Security Council to
see the pattern that has
been developing since
1979.
I
think we have been in a war for the past
25 years and it will continue until
we as a people decide enough is enough. America needs to
'Get out of Bed' and act decisively
now. America has been changed
forever. We have to be ready to pay the price and
make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues. We
cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and
again and roll over and go back to
sleep.
After the attack on
Pearl Harbor , Admiral
Yamamoto said '... it seems all we
have done is awakened a sleeping
giant.' This is the message we need to
disseminate to
terrorists around the
world.
This is not a political
thing to be hashed
over in an
election year, this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about
our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to
come.
If you believe in this
please forward it to
as many people
as you can especially to the young people and all those
who dozed off in history class and who seem so quick to
protest such a necessary military
action. If you don't believe
it, just delete it and go back to
sleep.
