HIT THE SNOOZE ALARM AMERICA

Bring home the troops???? Are we crazy?
You have to read the catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979...US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station, Pensacola , Florida .
Here is a copy of the speech he gave last month. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary. 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, 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 and 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 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
theUS 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 2,500 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 hits 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 Embassyin 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 arecontinually 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 1986 that 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 theKhobar 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 only in an election year, this is AMERICA 'S FREEDOM. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our children in years to come.
We need to wake up quickly and make America strong again. We need to stop and deport illegals, no Mosques on Ground Zero, stop spending money we don't have, America can't afford to have 50% paying taxes and 50% who will suckAmerica dry.
I think it is clear to all by now that Obama and company are trying to bankrupt and
make America weak and a second class country. One way to stop him is to take away his free ride in congress. Vote them out then vote him out. If Obama goes around Congress on illegals, impeach him.
If you believe in this, DO SOMETHING, especially YOU young people and all those who
dozed off in history class and who seem so quick to protest such a necessary military action.

Mosque at ground zero and other things

I am appalled that so many of my friends are against the mosque near
Ground Zero. We should allow it in order to promote tolerance.

I also propose that two gay nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque
to promote tolerance in the mosque. We could call them "The Turban
Cowboy" and "You Mecca Me Hot".

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork and have an
open bar b-q with pork ribs and across the street a very daring
lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret." And next door
in flashing lights open an Adult Toy Shop. I think for the purpose of
tolerance we should build accordingly around the Mosque.


GOD BLESS AMERICA ! !
