Chef Jim Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The safest place from an ISIS attack is here in Oakland NYE. Any bastard that would try anything would be so outgunned the fight would be over before it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 It's a sad thing when this cannot remain in OTW. That it had to become political. Instead of focusing on the simple fact of News or the pleasure that a plot was foiled we instead rip apart our own machine and blame ourselves. sad. sad. sad.

We're woefully inept at countering their efforts in online media. That has to change. We always excel in preparing for the last war. Frankly, I think the US needs to put stronger anti-terrorist laws on the books, and execution is an apt penalty upon completion of due legal process, IMHO. This enemy reminds me of the fanatical Japanese in WWII. They would rather die blowing themselves up and taking Americans out with them, than surrender. We as a nation don't have the stomach these days to fight the kind of war we fought in the Pacific in WWII. The Japanese thought we would sue for peace in the face of their fanaticism. They were wrong. But that was a different time. We're a different nation now, and resolve is measured in days not years. We lost more men wrestling Iwo Jima from the Japanese in a two month battle than we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. We still have troops in Japan and Germany 70 + years after the conclusion of WWII. We couldn't stay in Iraq for two years following the defeat of Iraq, and that's part of the difference.

/dev/null Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 why are reports coming out that this was targetting nyc? or is that media sensationalism and spin? Some media person had to look Rochester up on a map and saw it was in New York state. To the media folks, New York is NYC and Albany Rochester is just flyover country to them.

DC Tom Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The article I say labeled the target as simply "new York" and obviously everyone else in the country who doesn't have connections to western/ upstate by just thinks that anything new York = NYC Including NYC. When I was in college, the NYT did a survey. Most people in NYC couldn't find Buffalo on a map of New York. The majority put it north of Plattsburg, on the basis of "Well, it's near Canada, right?" For NYC residents, anything north of Westchester County is simply undiscovered territory populated by uneducated savages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
