\"Chattanooga\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Muhammad Youseef Abdulazeez, the gunman in last week’s murder of five American service members, was 24-years-old, which means that he was an infant when his parents, reputed to be Palestinians working in Kuwait at the time that Saddam Hussein invaded that country, left Kuwait to live in the United States while the service members of the United States liberated his country from the thugs that Hussein sent to Kuwait. Yeah, thugs. <\/p>\n

The place where we ended up at the end of the Gulf War, along the so-called Highway of Death, was a small appropriated Kuwaiti Military depot. The Iraqis had filled the base with their loot – we found scores of Mercedes Benz cars, china settings, clothing, kitchen utensils, jewelry and home furnishings that the Iraqis had looted from the Kuwaitis during the few months that they had occupied the country. I guess under the Air Force and Navy airstrikes it didn’t seem so important to bring that stuff back to Iraq and they abandoned it all there.<\/p>\n

So, the thanks we get for stopping that international crime spree is 5 dead brothers. Yeah, I’ve read the reports that Abdulazeez was a drug addict with deep psychological problems. Friends also tell reporters<\/a> that he had a lot of problems with the way that the Syrian government was treating it’s people;<\/p>\n

Abdulazeez…also spoke out against the Israeli bombing campaign in Gaza and the civil war in Syria to his friends after a trip to Jordan in 2014.<\/p>\n

“That trip was eye-opening for him. He learned a lot about the traditions and culture of the Middle East,” one friend told Reuters. “He felt Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia were not doing enough to help, and that they were heavily influenced by the United States.”<\/p>\n

Another friend said: “He had always talked about it, but I’d say his level of understanding and awareness really rose after he came back.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hear that ISIS feels the same way about Assad. <\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> writes about the difficulty of trying to intercept messages between ISIS and it’s fans here in the US;<\/p>\n

One possibility is that Abdul\u00adazeez was just a troubled young man who responded to the torrent of hate-filled Internet messages from groups such as the Islamic State that are designed to inspire a single, troubled, lone gunman.<\/p>\n

Such attacks are in\u00adcred\u00adibly difficult to detect and stop, officials said. The growing signs that Abdulazeez had self-radicalized and acted alone were of little solace to many in Chattanooga who were convinced the government was not doing enough to protect them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like I wrote the other day, the LaBelle Disco Bombing in Berlin happened on April 5, 1986, the retaliatory airstrike on Qaddafi in Libya happened on April 15, 1986. We pretty much heard nothing from Qaddafi after that. It took the FBI ten days to pin the bombing on Qaddafi and the Reagan Administration to coordinate an airstrike (including passing through the airspace of other countries) for Qaddafi to get his answer. The bombing happened in another country, this murder of Americans happened here, so the FBI doesn’t have to waste time coordinating with a foreign government. We already have aircraft in the vicinity of ISIS, again, no coordination required. So it should be easy to bring pain to ISIS, that wouldn’t stop the attacks here, but it would make ISIS think again about encouraging people here to participate in them. <\/p>\n

Since the Feds have admitted that these attacks are difficult to detect and interdict, then we need to take measures to protect potential targets. Making the Marines wear civilian clothes on their way to work, isn’t really a measure – that one took some O-8 about two minutes to think up. No one in Chattanooga was on their way to work in uniform when they were murdered the other day – they were at work where they wear their uniforms all day in a gun-free zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
