KILLERS’ ‘PATIENCE’ : NY FINANCIAL CENTERS COULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN TO BITS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
"The alleged conspiracy ‘highlights the nature of the enemy we face, and that is an enemy that is patient, that is spread throughout the world and is bent on killing Americans in a spectacular way,’ U.S. deputy attorney-general James Comey told a news conference in Washington," according to GlobeAndMail.com’s Shawn McCarthy.
Patience. That’s the word that caught my attention. Patience. The killers international are willing to bide their time, plot and scheme, lay low until the right moment. It’s the discipline of patience and time passing in order to get the job done.
"U.S. officials have charged three British nationals with conspiring to blow up financial targets in New York, New Jersey and Washington using weapons of mass destruction, an alleged plot that sparked heightened security last summer in cities still unnerved by the 9/11 attacks. Mr. Comey said the three men were in custody in Britain and have been charged with three counts of conspiracy and one count of providing material support to terrorists."
It was back in 1998 that these three murderers started their scheme. They came to the US in 2000. In the next twelve months they checked out numerous financial edifices and researching terrorist methods.
So they have the patience, do they? You bet.
And it’s just that discipline that the Western nations have in slim supply. Particularly Americans want everything done perfectly yesterday.
This is evidenced particularly throughout the Democratic Party. During the presidential campaign last year, Mr. Bush did not do this or that soon enough. And of course he might have made an error here or there. One of his team might not have been up to heaven’s perfection; therefore, oust the President in favor of Dem Darling John F. Kerry.
Yet, it’s this President — George W. Bush — who has kept the PATIENCE. It’s the patience, "staying the course" is what his friends have called it, that has led to such freedom spreads.
Patience wrought Operation Iraqi Freedom’s three-week-war overseen by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Patience brought about the toppling of Saddam Hussein and the historic January 30 Victory Vote. Patience has seen through the New Iraq with its National Assembly and approaching constitution.
Patience brought about freedoms planted in Afghanistan. Patience engendered the Ukrainian politic to champion democracy over despotism. Patience has inspired freedom enthusiasts in Iran to continue their clamoring against an Islamic theocratic dictatorship. Patience has yielded an Egyptian head of state to proclaim that this autumn will witness free elections there.
Patience.
So as the killers international continue their course of patience, waiting it out, counting on the right moment, putting up with a few obstacles here and there, never yielding to discouragement, keeping their sites on the goal of slaying as many freedom loving humans as possible, there are too many liberty breathing people who still demand perfection yesterday.
In order for the President’s vision of freedom spread to continue, the democracies of the planet have to be up and doing, waiting out the hindrances, counting on the democracy prize at the end of the journey, and keep thereby the patience.
There are rewards aplenty for those who are patient enough to come upon them. Patience and time. Add to that labor precisioned with the best a person can muster.
While murderers global keep their watch — patiently — may the free world keep its patience in overcoming those seeking to kill us all off. It’s patience and timing. The President has exampled that for us. Do we get the clear, basic message?
Patience.
"Federal officials broadcast an alert last summer that terrorists were targeting financial buildings, including the New York Stock Exchange and Citigroup Corp. headquarters in Manhattan, Prudential Corporate Plaza in Newark, and the World Bank and International Monetary Fund in Washington.
"The scare prompted heightened security around the buildings, which were patrolled by police armed with machine guns.
"At the time, Homeland Security officials raised the alert level to orange and left the heightened status in effect until November. That move sparked criticism that the administration was over-reacting to old information as part of a re-election campaign that stressed President George W. Bush's war on terrorism.
"Yesterday, Mr. Comey insisted that officials had reacted strictly on the basis of security concerns, saying he had participated in the decision to trigger the orange alert. ‘Politics had nothing to do with it,’ he said. ‘That, you have my word on.’"
Thank you, Mr. Comey.
