Hey, we stopped one!

Another loony jihadi soldier.  At Fort Hood, again!  What's in the water there?

But, somebody at least grew a pair and a forceful intervention was performed prior to an actual attack.

Not sure it is the water exactly, of course David Koresh(sp) and the branch davidions were based not far from there, but large base, large population equals large scene and news coverage.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Sources said Abdo had enough materials to make two bombs, including 18 pounds of sugar and six pounds of smokeless gunpowder -- a possible trigger for an explosive. A pressure cooker was also found.

"He was all ready to go," one law enforcement source said.

Clearly a dangerous terrorist.

Why, a pressure cooker!

He's actually from Ft. Campbell, KY.  Once again, it was the FFl's/Evil gun dealers that tipped the feds to "Hey, this guy is pretty hinky."

He had Kiddie porn on his computer, an "Arsenal" and the ingredients and instructions on how to build IED/bombs.

Fry his ass.

No, because this guy had really had the ways and means and was starting to put it together.  

1)  He's AWOL from Ft. Campbell, KY
2)  He's picked up in Killeen, TX with a butt load of guns, the stuff to make bombs and a bunch of "How to Make IED's, for Fun and Profit!!"  recipes.
3)  He's in a hotel/motel/notel.  Had he been at his house, that's one thing, but this has all the indicators that he was about to commit an act of extreme evil.

And I'll again point out that it was EVVVVVIIIIIIILLLLLL  Gun Dealers that tipped off the feds.

But when you add 1) and 3) that is the problem.

1) with 2) gets him in alot of trouble already.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

One of the chuckle moments for me was the counter guy ( on TV interviews ) saying the fact that he came there in a taxi was suspicious he said something like "how many people use a taxi to go shopping?" As a former taxi driver I can assure him plenty of people do that!! :lol:

With the sugar,  figure he was going for some sort of FAE?

Also,  can we stop with the PC and start profiling now?  I think it's safe to say we've got a pattern...

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
