Military helicopters to patrol U.S.-Canadian border
Article on CNN.com <http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/West/08/20/border.patrol.ap/index.html>
We are now going to fly helicopters up and down the Canadian border.
Are the Mounties planning an attack?
Or are we worried about Illegal Canadian immigrants?
:wtf:

1. I think
it has something to do with possible terrorists rather than Mounties. They say that is how they get in. The Mounties have never really been a problem. You are quite safe from the Mounties. Trust me on that.

4. Yes they did come through Canada but it was thruogh the
border crossing and no helicopter is going to protect against that!
I think it is another attempt to make sure fear is in our minds.

8. You might have to source that for me,

So far (up here) that has been debunked as myth.

11. Here is some information I was able to Google:

<http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/683026/posts>
Sorry if this is long.

Sometime in March 2001-- AL-SHEHHI and ATTA are seen at a highrise apartment on 130 Jameson Avenue in Toronto at this time, according to ”about a dozen” residents of the building later interviewed by the RCMP. http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSattack0112/20_torontolink_sun.html ATTA is seen at a print shop, Best Copy Printing, on Charles St. W in downtown Toronto, with Al-Qaeda operative Nabil Al-Marabh, whose uncle lives in the Jameson Ave. building and allegedly owns the shop. The print shop’s specialty, says the RCMP, is the production of fake IDs. A newspaper report says that forensic officers have found similarities between documents left behind by the hijackers and paper stock, laminates, and ink seized from the shop. The RCMP later discovered dozens of identification cards in various stages of assembly during raids at three Toronto addresses (the Jameson address and 190 Woolner Ave) and one in nearby Mississauga (121 Agnes St.). A stack of tightly controlled Canadian IMM-1000 forms, which are issued to landed immigrants to enter Canada, is also found. Link Link Neighbors later tell the RCMP there was a large picture of bin Laden on the wall in the shop. Toronto Sun 10/21/01

August 30, 2001, noon—According to the manager, JARRAH and ATTA rent a room at the Longshore Motel in Hollywood, FL, paying $175 cash in advance for the week. The Florida motel manager is puzzled by his guests' insistence upon 24-hour Internet access in their room. "They were very agitated and they said, 'You're wasting our time. We are here on a mission,'" When asked “What kind of mission is that? A Mission of Islam?' They “kind of paused” and said, 'No, no, no, we want to stay out of that.'" Dragomir solves the problem by running a wire from the office to their rooms, which are not themselves equipped with phones. When, worried about huge phone bills, Dragomir asks them to work out of the office instead, they become angry and insulting, demanding their money back. (Palm Beach Post, 10/15/01) Dragomir takes two calls for the men from a woman who says she is calling from Canada. They drive a Honda Civic, which “was registered to the wife of a man in Thornhill, who said he and his friend had traveled to Florida in search of a job. Both are computer programmers, which is why they had the laptops.” National Post , 9/18/01

9. What about those dirty Mounties?
How did those ruthless Bastards get in?



My Pa used to say "never trust a Mountie"


and he also used to say


"Never mind the mantel when your poking the fire"



My Pa was a wise man.

16. All the 911 terrorists were in the US legally. The terrorist who
tried to enter the US from Canada was Rassam, the Millennium bomber who had plans to blow up LAX.

2. We're coming to steal Green Bay's cheese.
Then we're going to sell the great gateway drug to a bunch of young American kids...

F**king Canadians.

3. Or draft-age emigrants?
Four more years of Bush and perhaps the US-Canadian border will be fortified.

That's what you call progress under PNAC.

13. They're watching for Canadian drug smuggling
We have to prevent drug smuggling from Canada. It cuts into the profits of US pharmaceutical corporations.

15. Well, Dumbya successfully protected Alabama from Mississippi.
Perhaps he should don his cooool flight suit and ride along. Then he can pronounce "Mission Accomplished" and tell us how he protected us the vicious Canadian Hordes wielding hockey sticks and shouting their war cry's "Eh".
