Subject: THE SNOOZE ALARM- everyone should read!!
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 14:28:41 -0600
U.S. Navy Capt. Ouimette is the XO at NAS, Pensacola.
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 and 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.

The President is right on when he says we are engaged in a war. I think we have been in a war for the past 23 years and it will continue until we as a people decide enough is enough.

Nov, 1979

Iran was 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 during the Carter Presidency. The attack on this sovereign U. S. embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 23 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 see picture below.. America's military had been decimated and downsized/right sized since the end of the Vietnam War by men like John Kerry. 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.
Islamic students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran, holding 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. All hostages are released unharmed hours after Ronald Reagan is inaugurated the 40th U.S. president.

The remains of a burned-out U.S. helicopter lie in front of an abandoned helicopter in the eastern desert region of Iran in this April 27, 1980, photo, taken just after the aborted American commando raid to free the 52 U.S. embassy hostages. President Jimmy Carter said he took full responsibility for the failed mission.

This above is a Chronology of terror against the United States of America by Muslims since 1979 with photos please pray

This was from an email I got from my Sister Letha.

I put it in colums and put the pictures in it.

I am praying about what this means. I had not looked at all this before but it seems as if it has been going on for over 20 years not just 2 as some people have said.

By the way can some of you help me.

I need someone to fill in the blanks.
If any of you can find pictures for the dates that have no pictures I would really appreciate it.
Also any missing events please let me know.

That way we will know how to pray.

Thank You for all your help

Pastor Jerry

I finally got this thread fixed.
Please help me fill in the gaps.

If you can find any more photo's let me know or post them here so we can put this together.

Also if I missed any date of acts of terror please fill in the gaps.

Can you see they have been doing this since 1979 not just 9/11

Which 'they' Jerry? All of the terrorist organizations or just al Quieda? Just against the USA or the whole world?

I remember an attack on the Olympics in 1972 or 73. That was against the Israelis but I think it was meant to impact the world.

What about all the airline hijackings?

If I remember correctly they usually had the same demands as the ones who are beheading people today, "Release the political prisoners or these people start dying"

How are we supposed to pray?

It seems so overwhelming to pray for terrorists when the entire Muslim religion is the source of terror! That makes every single person who follows Islam a potential terrorist!

How do we control the fear and hate within ourselves enough to pray for them?

The fear of ourselves or one of our loved ones being a victim of terror and the hate for the demonic influences that can so easily turn to hate against a people.

All I feel is a great and abiding sadness when I pray for the people enslaved by Islam.

My heart wants to pray but I do not know how to effectively pray for them.

How do I pray for the USA and other countries who are being held hostage by these terrorists?

Are hedges enough or do we need to pray for a different kind of protection?

There is in the Islamic relgion a hidden hate against most Chrisitan institutions or nations, and also Jewish. Extremist Islamic religion is just a fruition of these hidden inclinations found in the spirit of Islam.

Does any one understand what I am trying to do here. Kerry said if we did not go into Iraq we would not have been attacked. Kerry said we are making them mad at us. Does anyone see that they have been attacking the USA for years before and after Sep 11th.
If we do not take the war to them they will bring it back here.

Father, we ask that You will take away the Muslum people's anger, rage, resentment, rejection, abandonment, hate, murder, violence, rape, and lies, death, and false religion. In their place, we ask You to give them wisdom, knowledge and understanding, forgivness to share with others and peace with all races and nations. We ask for Jesus to go to them and make His home among them, and it is in Jesus' Name we ask it....amen.

Father, until this work is performed, we ask You to put a hedge of protection around them so that they cannot hurt other people anymore, in Jesus' Name...Amen.
