Question by Bungie: Do you think WWIII started in 1979?
When WWIII Started****1979
>
>This is not very long, but very informative. First you have to read the
>catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how anyone can
>take the position that all we have to do is bring our troops home from
>Iraq, sit back, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep, and no one will
>ever bother us again. In case you missed it, World War III began in
>November 1979… that alarm has been ringing for years.
>
> US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air
>Station, Pensacola, Florida. Here is a copy of the speech he gave last
>month. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and
>why this action is so necessary.
>
>
>AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!
>That’s what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001 (When more than
>3,000 Americans were killed). Maybe it was, but I think it should have
>been “Get Out of Bed!” In fact, I think the alarm clock has been buzzing
>since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for
>a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.
>
>It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a
>religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students attacked
>and seized the American Embassy in Tehran. This seizure was an outright
>attack on American soil; it was an attack that held the world’s most
>powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency. The attack on this
>sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25
>years.
>
>America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience and
>had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had
>to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert. The
>ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as a symbol of America’s
>inability to deal with terrorism.
>
>America’s military had been decimated and down sized/right sized since the
>end of the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly
>organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was
>doomed from the start.
>
>Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped and
>killed throughout the Middle East. America could do little to protect her
>citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against US soil continued!
>
>In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven
>into the US Embassy compound in Beirut. When it explodes, it kills 63
>people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button once
>more.
>
>Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden down
>with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the US Marine
>Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America
>mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more.
>
>
>
> Two months later in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives
>is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her slumber.
>
>The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the gate
>of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept.
>
>Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in a
>restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid.
>
>Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into the
>main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rhein-Main. 22 are killed and the
>snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually
>attacked.
>
>Fifty-nine days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro, is hijacked
>and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out of the
>passenger list and executed.
>
>The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners when
>they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 and kill 4. Then in a more
>tragic bombing, they get Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in
>1988, killing 259.
>
>Clinton treated these terrorist acts as crimes; in fact we are still trying
>to bring these people to trial. These are acts of war.
>
>The wake up alarm is getting louder and louder.
>
>
>The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America. In January 1993, two
>CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA headquarters in Langley,
>Virginia.
>
>The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists are arrested
>after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground
>parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are
>killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act of
>war? The Snooze button is pressed again.
>
> Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in
>Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.
>
>A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35
>yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It destroys
>the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over
>500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as they see that America
>does not respond decisively.
>
>They move to coordinate their attacks in simultaneous attacks on two US
>embassies in Kenya and Tanzania . These attacks were planned with
>precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks and
>goes back to sleep.
>
>The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12
>October 2000, when a small craft pulled along side the ship and exploded
>killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war, but
>we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to sleep.
>
>And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans
>think this was the first attack against US soil or in America. How wrong
>they are. America has been under a constant attack since 1979 and we chose
>to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back to sleep!!!
>
>In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high
>official in government over what they knew and what they didn’t know. But
>if you’ve read the papers and paid a little attention I think you can see
>exactly what they knew. You don’t have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the
>National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since
>1979.
>
>I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue
>until we as a people decide enough is enough! America needs to “Get out of
>Bed” and act decisively now. America has been changed forever. We have to
>be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure our way of life
>continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and
>again and roll over and go back to sleep.
>
>After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said “… it seems all
>we have done is awakened a sleeping giant.” This is the message we need to
>disseminate to terrorists around the world.
>
>This is not a political thing to be hashed out in an election year. This
>is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom of our
>children in years to come.
>
>
> Remember, Freedom is not free. There was a price to obtain it and
>a bigger price to maintain it. The enemy will not negotiate. The enemy is
>bent on killing every American they can–all of us if possible. The enemy
>is seeking world domination. The enemy will behead you, your children and
>your neighbors. You cannot negotiate or ignore a rabid dog. You have to
>put it down.
>
>
>If you understand and believe we are at a crucial point in our history
>please forward this to as many people as you can– especially to the young
>people and all those who dozed off in history class and who seem so quick
>to protest such a necessary military action.
