Differences Do Matter

United States Marine Corps: “We’re looking for a few good men.”

al-Qaeda Terrorist Network: “We’ll take anybody.”

Suspected dirtybomber Jose Padilla’s rap sheet, before he converted to Islam and decided to bomb and poison his countrymen as Abdullah al Muhajir, included:

Chicago gang member
Florida assault conviction
Murder conviction, age 13

Think the Corps would have taken this one in and given him weapons and training? Moral equivelency, my ass.
