#1 The Jordanian lad will be expelled from his college and the U.S., right?

#2 I'm just glad the student wasn't a cadet.

#3 What would happen if an American threatened a terrorist sympathizer in the same way? It would be freaking front-page news throughout the entire world. But this, nothing. Surprise, surprise.

#4 The advisory board of the Walid Shoebat Foundation is comprised of Generals and other senior officers from the U.S. Military.

Clintons or not, now I know we're doomed.

#5 Kindly expand on that a little Besoeker. I don't quite follow ....

#6 The Academy informed Hooper that the event was not about religion, but about terrorism, and he denied CAIR's request.

So the next time CAIR wants to interpose themselves, feed 'em the same line. When they admit they're terrorists, then they can participate!

#7 Finally! Moderate Islam speaks out...and it's pretty much what we expected. I think that whole argument can go away now.

#8 Lotp__ Perhaps Besoeker was speaking from the enlisted's point of view?.

#9 Indeed, Hupoque the Anonymous2184. And dear lotp is an officer's wife, for her sins. She just forgot to do a smiley thingy. Even crackerjack programmers forget sometimes, based on the ones I've seen here at Rantburg. Goodness knows I forget often enough, but then when I took CS113 the second time I got an F, neatly beating out the D I'd got the first time, and thus proving conclusively I wasn't meant to be a computer jockey. Quite unlike 50% of my siblings, who smile gently at me at the oddest times. (As do some of the denizens here, but we'll not talk about that!)

#10 TW__I see I'm behind the curve. I also understand your comments about computer education. I should have flunked a course in Fortran for the IBM360, Lo, these many years ago, but the computer lost my course registration, and I've been banging on keyboards ever since... 8p

She did indeed. ;-)

#12 That's ok, Hupoque the Anonymous2184. I have the advantage of you in longevity at Rantburg (or not -- so many old hands have taken Fred's clever anonymizer names that with my porous memory I've completely lost track of them. Sorry, guys!) and the lack of a paying day job to distract me. It was Fortran I on punch cards that done me in, coupled with a complete inability to accept the possibility that my logically thought out work could possibly need debugging. Ah, well. I'm much better at my true calling of following Mr. Wife's career halfway round the world and back again, pouring tea for them who appreciates it, and studying here at Rantburg University. :-)

#13 And she dances a mean tarantella on the table top.

#14 Damn straight, Nimble Spemble. I even show my ankles for a moment. ;-)

#15 No peeking, Nimble! Decorum is the Rantburg standard!
