For my navy women were not allowed to serviceallow ed to serve overseas until the end of the war in 1944. When we decided that hawaii was once again safe enough, it was a base of Planning Operations and we would send w. A. V. E. S. To help continue fight the war.

Someone came out. He had information of a prisoner, came out. He had information. In some cases somebody goes into to something and the person he comes out and he says ive seen westerners. We had some cases of syrian prisoners been released escaping, seen westerners. Unfortunately, a lot of this wasnt realtime. Most of the time its like a hollywood movie. They slipped through our fingers. We have been in the location a week or two ago. We didnt have definitive realtime information until the hostages began being released. When you talk about fbi its a Law Enforcement thing for them. When they debrief hostages theyre more interested in putting together a case against the hostage taker as opposed to finding the hostage takers trying to get a solution. A problem for People Like Us is that we saw the government, the government and the agency as an iceberg.

You have to weigh the pros and cons. I weigh them on the side of president obama. Richmond, texas, an independent color. Independent caller.
