The FBI believes "outside influences" are at work in Seattle's Somali community, trying to recruit and radicalize young men to carry out jihad in their homeland.
Those influences — whether they be radical Islamic Web sites or outside recruiters — are "a danger to the Somali community, and the Seattle community at large," Special Agent Fred Gutt of the FBI's Seattle field office said Thursday.

ETR, I get the Tully's K-cups in French Roast from Costco in boxes of 80 - much cheaper than anywhere else I've found (it's around $30), and it's the only one I've found so far that's even close to being strong enough for me, brewed at the highest concentration. I'm in Seattle and I'm used to very strong coffee...I wish someone made a stronger K-cup!
Shug, I heard that - a lot of guys were covering that yesterday.
That teacher ought to be fired. Of course, the school district's response is that no one authorized the videotaping, and it's an outrage that it was released.

Don't see that as much of a strategy since the Iranians can get gas from Russia over land, now China is shipping some, and Qatar has began shipping gas there too.

PITTSBURGH - Businesses vandalized during Group of 20 protests were cleaning up broken glass and getting back to work Friday while demonstrators pledging nonviolence planned an afternoon march to protest environmental, health care and other policies.
Thanks for the kind welcome. I never posted much on the other site. probably won't much here either. I enjoy reading the comments. I have leaned so much over the years. These are a great bunch of people here and am glad I can continue to read and learn.
'A victim of circumstance' Subway employee Teena Santos, a 21-year-old accounting student at Pitt, said it had been a slow, quiet evening when black-clad protesters suddenly swarmed the street and attacked the storefront. Santos said they must have used a hammer or another object to smash the window because no rocks or bricks were found.
Workers and customers locked the door and waited with her until the crowd passed.
"I was pretty scared, pretty shaken up," she said.
U.S. intelligence officials said today that they have known about a newly disclosed Iranian nuclear facility for several years -- possibly as early as 2006 -- and that its dimensions and design all but rule out any civilian nuclear purpose.
The officials said the covert site is about 19 miles north of Qom, and is designed to hold as many as 3,000 centrifuges, enough to provide fissile material for a single nuclear weapon each year.
The facility is "deep underground," a senior U.S. intelligence official said, built inside a mountain on a heavily guarded compound controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The site has been kept secret from all but the highest-ranking officials in the Iranian government and nuclear program.

Thanks, Dawn - and just so you know (in case you didn't notice our policy statement), just about the only thing we remove from comments is discussion about other sites any of us have come from (in addition to the obvious things we'd remove - obscene, racist, or anti-Semitic comments, for example).
I should say though - let's not start going down the road of talking about other sites.
It's just that one thing leads to another, and before you know it, people are going places we don't want to go. We know no one means any harm by it, but we really just don't want to go there.
Bolding so no one misses it. THANKS you guys, for understanding.
nmm me too but it has been a slow day here so I don't feel too bad about it. I have to go to Seattle next week so I probly wont be around for a while after today.

Amen. There are places for that if people are so inclined. Glad that this is a safe haven. These blog wars are so silly. I for one appreciate your attitude and policy here. So much less stress!
Correspondence Committee - are you saying that the vague reference in my exchange with Texas Heathen was over the line? I am aware of your policy and certainly want to be a good guest here.
newmellemen - that's an excellent question. Thanks for asking it.
It's not so much that's it's over any kind of line - we just don't want someone else to take it as a green light to go a little further, and then another to go a little further still.
So when we see it, we just try to keep people from staring into the rear-view mirror, so to speak. We understand why people might want to glance, but then we come along and gently remind people to keep their eyes on the road. ; )
That's all. We're just hoping to move forward.
I hope that makes sense to everybody. We don't want to be jerks about it - we just want to stay on track.
And thank you, Shug, for the encouragement - that's why we are insisting on this - most people coming here really like the fresh start.

"Obama personally briefed Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday during a meeting at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Afterward, Medvedev indicated for the first time that Russia would be open to harsher sanctions against Iran.
Iran too appears to have become aware that the existence of the facility was no longer secret, causing the regime to send a letter of notification Monday to the IAEA."
"Hello Mahmoud? Yeah, Dmitry here. What do you mean, Dmitry who? It's Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia... no Vladimir's not in. Listen, I got some news for you... yeah... I just got back from lunch with Obama... fucking arugula waffles!

Better go tell the IAEA so they can rush down there and help cover your hairy ass.... that's right, they know the drill.... meanwhile, we'll have to go along with the Americans for a while and let Obama shake his finger at you. But don't worry, the UN will take at least 6 months to agree on a resolution and another 6 months to vote on it. Okay? Great, later. Oh, by the way, great speech! You killed them! ...

Regarding Iran announcing a new U-235 enrichment facility at Qom.
ReplyDeleteFirst: Qom is the holiest city in Iran. Any strikes in or near Qom has the implication and repercussions beyond the facilities.
Second: Iran is comfortable thumbing their nose (in Iran the thumb is the equivalent of the finger) at the world community.
Third: They believe no action will be taken, they think they can survive sanctions.
None of it bodes well.

ReplyDeleteI love San Francisco. It's such a beautiful city so full of life. I try very hard to ignore the filth that runs the city. But everywhere you look you see unhealthy self-destructive people, and the last thing I would think about attacking is their love of Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper.
ReplyDeletebut then those are easy targets for the feel good do gooders in city govt.

PITTSBURGH - Businesses vandalized during Group of 20 protests were cleaning up broken glass and getting back to work Friday while demonstrators pledging nonviolence planned an afternoon march to protest environmental, health care and other policies.
ReplyDeleteThose Tea Parties scare me.
Thanks for the kind welcome. I never posted much on the other site. probably won't much here either. I enjoy reading the comments. I have leaned so much over the years. These are a great bunch of people here and am glad I can continue to read and learn.
ReplyDeleteThey can have my Mtn. Dew when they pry it from my shaking, sleepless hands.

ReplyDeleteThat was too easy. Thank you!
'A victim of circumstance'
ReplyDeleteSubway employee Teena Santos, a 21-year-old accounting student at Pitt, said it had been a slow, quiet evening when black-clad protesters suddenly swarmed the street and attacked the storefront. Santos said they must have used a hammer or another object to smash the window because no rocks or bricks were found.
Workers and customers locked the door and waited with her until the crowd passed.
"I was pretty scared, pretty shaken up," she said.
U.S. officials say Iran's nuclear plant is no secret to them
ReplyDeleteU.S. intelligence officials said today that they have known about a newly disclosed Iranian nuclear facility for several years -- possibly as early as 2006 -- and that its dimensions and design all but rule out any civilian nuclear purpose.
The officials said the covert site is about 19 miles north of Qom, and is designed to hold as many as 3,000 centrifuges, enough to provide fissile material for a single nuclear weapon each year.
The facility is "deep underground," a senior U.S. intelligence official said, built inside a mountain on a heavily guarded compound controlled by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The site has been kept secret from all but the highest-ranking officials in the Iranian government and nuclear program.
/apparently, we're just going to sit around and wait for the explosion

Awesome point. Awesome.
Yes, a few beer bellies with signs do quite a bit of damage. Not to mention the blue haired ladies with American flags.
Howdy gang and welcome to Dawn!
ReplyDeleteIn re that "military" arrest? Fake, Fake, Fake.
Very good to see an update from Yma :^) Prayers for you and I hope your eyes get better

ReplyDeleteI have leaned so much over the years.
Well stand up straight and join the party! ;)
Thanks, Dawn - and just so you know (in case you didn't notice our policy statement), just about the only thing we remove from comments is discussion about other sites any of us have come from (in addition to the obvious things we'd remove - obscene, racist, or anti-Semitic comments, for example).
ReplyDeleteWe're happy you've joined us! Jump right in!
I had forgotten how much fun it is to be with you guys. I've posted more today than I have in over a year elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteYes, a few beer bellies with signs do quite a bit of damage. Not to mention the blue haired ladies with American flags.
ReplyDeleteYes, those grandmothers upset about government spending absolutely terrify me. ; )
Yay, T/H! That's very good to hear.
ReplyDelete"I had forgotten how much fun it is to be with you guys. I've posted more today than I have in over a year elsewhere."
ReplyDeleteMe too, I'm now getting worried about my job!
I should say though - let's not start going down the road of talking about other sites.
ReplyDeleteIt's just that one thing leads to another, and before you know it, people are going places we don't want to go. We know no one means any harm by it, but we really just don't want to go there.
Bolding so no one misses it. THANKS you guys, for understanding.
nmm
ReplyDeleteme too but it has been a slow day here so I don't feel too bad about it. I have to go to Seattle next week so I probly wont be around for a while after today.
Heathen - we'll keep the home fires burning for ya!

I saw some footage of the Muslim Day of Prayer event in D.C. today on Fox News. They were claiming it was about prayer and patriotism.

Amen.
There are places for that if people are so inclined. Glad that this is a safe haven.
These blog wars are so silly.
I for one appreciate your attitude and policy here.
So much less stress!

How many Palestinian flags?

ReplyDeleteUnderstood...
Is this word verification thing going to always be here?
Correspondence Committee - are you saying that the vague reference in my exchange with Texas Heathen was over the line? I am aware of your policy and certainly want to be a good guest here.
ReplyDeleteTexas Heathen, preview is my friend :)

I saw no flags of any kind. Just lot's of prayer rugs.
I failed to see any signs of patriotism.

ReplyDeleteTexas Heathen, preview is my friend :)
Especially with the likes of me and nmm around. ;)
Correspondence Committee, Understood, I plan on being a polite quest.
ReplyDeletenewmellemen - that's an excellent question. Thanks for asking it.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so much that's it's over any kind of line - we just don't want someone else to take it as a green light to go a little further, and then another to go a little further still.
So when we see it, we just try to keep people from staring into the rear-view mirror, so to speak. We understand why people might want to glance, but then we come along and gently remind people to keep their eyes on the road. ; )
That's all. We're just hoping to move forward.
I hope that makes sense to everybody. We don't want to be jerks about it - we just want to stay on track.
Oh, we know that, Dawn - thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you, Shug, for the encouragement - that's why we are insisting on this - most people coming here really like the fresh start.
T/H, the word verification is there to keep the blog from being spammed with Viagra ads. If you'd like to see those, we can turn it off. ; ) (We may try it and see how big a problem it is. It is rather annoying.)
And eschew - hello! I don't know if I've gotten to welcome you yet, but if not, WELCOME.
Did I miss anyone's question or remark? If so, it wasn't intentional. Just bonk me on the head again if I did.

P2, thanks! I'll talk to the Bare, and see what he thinks about trying it without the Evil Word Verification™.

T/H, it worked! Yay!

Ooops, never mind. It doesn't ask ME to enter letters for posting. My mistake. :)

I appreciate it.... also like the ground rules.
"Obama personally briefed Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday during a meeting at New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Afterward, Medvedev indicated for the first time that Russia would be open to harsher sanctions against Iran.
ReplyDeleteIran too appears to have become aware that the existence of the facility was no longer secret, causing the regime to send a letter of notification Monday to the IAEA."
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-iran-nuclear-site26-2009sep26,0,1423460.story
I can imagine that phone call right now....
"Hello Mahmoud? Yeah, Dmitry here. What do you mean, Dmitry who? It's Dmitry Medvedev, President of Russia... no Vladimir's not in. Listen, I got some news for you... yeah... I just got back from lunch with Obama... fucking arugula waffles! Blech, anyway... seems the Americans know all about that secret cave near Qom... no, not the stupid well with invisible Mahdi in it, the one with all the centrifuges... yeah, THAT cave. Right...Ok, look I don't know how they know but they do. So the jig is up. Better go tell the IAEA so they can rush down there and help cover your hairy ass.... that's right, they know the drill.... meanwhile, we'll have to go along with the Americans for a while and let Obama shake his finger at you. But don't worry, the UN will take at least 6 months to agree on a resolution and another 6 months to vote on it. Okay? Great, later. Oh, by the way, great speech! You killed them! ... Ciao, Mahmoud... What? Sure, I'll tell Vlad you said "hi". (click)
...Fucking Persian Pipsqueak!"

ReplyDeleteYep. Just another job. This one is actually in Tacoma not Seattle.
CC don't turn off the word verification. My vocabulary is improving plus I get a laugh at some of the "words".
ReplyDeleteBBL C2ers. I have a meeting to go to. Should be back before the pub opens. Plus it's Friday and that means PIZZA night. My quest for the best pizza in Central Florida continues. I have found a 7/10. I may settle for that tonight, or I have the name of a few new places to try.

LOL Erik - JCM got "cackle" in word verification the other day when he composed a post about Hillary Clinton! I swear that thing has a brain of its own!
ReplyDeleteSee you in a while!

ReplyDeleteSEE? IT'S A FREAKING MINE FIELD. ; )
(eschew, thank YOU. And thanks everybody for being so cool about the policy - we're thrilled you're all here, we really are.)
There's a new thread upstairs, incidentally. It starts paging when you get to 200 comments, so we can move whenever you guys are ready.
