Sorry. Correction. UNTIL they are all dead. They are more fanatical than

Wow...our own pair of Christian Little Hitlers, hoping for genocide.
Perhaps we'd be better served if we simply eliminated the fundamentalist
believers of both of those religions, since they both want to dominate
the world.

Fundamentalist sikhs, hindus, jews, et cetera, don't seem interested in
world religious domination...no need to mess with them.

I got called off to the side where a big lady reached into my bag and
asked, "Is this yours?"

To which I replied, "Yes Ma'am."

She said, "What is it? You know you can't take this on the airplane?"

I said, "It's a jar of homemade blueberry jam I was going to give my
brother. You're welcome to open it and taste it."

But, she wouldn't give it back. Those were some careful people. They
definitely fit your profile. My ballpoint pen was in my pocket. Shoved
up the nose of a stewardess, there'd be a dead stewardess. But,
ballpoints are OK. I don't understand it either.



Think for a moment. After 911 thousands of people were hired off the
street from the hard core unemployed and homeless ranks. They were given
an opportunity to boss others around without boundaries. They pictured
themselves as officers of the federal government. The testing was quick
and easy. The not so bright slipped through the ranks and if they weren't
high on something that particular day they got their pictures taken for a
badge and a job. They are then part of homeland security over night.

At that point they could order the general public around as if they were
just peons. They had become officers of the law of the land.

So, what's your solution? We tried doing nothing during the early part
of
the Bush administration.

We invaded Afghanistan on October 7 2001, looking for Bin Laden and
according to your Sudan analysis we didn't even have a reason to look
until 9/11 of that year.


We invaded sort of (did you see the last 60 Minutes?), half-heartedly
looked
for him, and then Bush went after Saddam.

Not sure what you mean by my "Sudan analysis." I don't think I mentioned
Sudan.

You said that Clinton had no reason to take OBL in Sudan. Bush had a
similar problem prior to 9-11 if he wanted to use the same probable
cause logic. After 9-11 it was simply "kill the *******", as it should
have been after the 1993 WTC bombing.

The football game screwed up my recording of 60 minutes


I didn't say that. I said that he had no legal authority to do so. Bush's
problem was that he didn't follow through on what he should have, and went
cowboy on Iraq, which was totally unjustified.

I'm sure you can find it on cbs.com. I believe it's the first segment.

You're just wrong. Firstly, it isn't Islam, which is a religion. It's a tiny
minority of muslims. Secondly many of that tiny minority have surrendered,
just not the extreme hard-core.

As you said earlier about Clinton and Bin Laden in Sudan, what was he
supposed to do?

Fair question. Here's my answer... Bush should have concentrated on
capturing and killing bin laden and his cronies. He failed not just to do
that, but he failed to even try very hard.

Why do you think we weren't looking for Osama? Obama has had it as his
stated goal for almost a year, having a pretty good idea where he is
and we still keep coming up empty. If Osama is really still alive and
living in those tribal areas on the Afghan/Pakistan boarder, he will
probably die of old age unless we just get real lucky.

OBL is really sticking it to the US and the rest of the Western world by
living the lavish life style of an elder in the tribal regions between
Afghanistan and Pakistan. Looking over your shoulder seeing if someone
is going to turn you in or kill you is a hell of a way to live.

Personally I am not sure he is even alive and if he is, so what?
Do you really think the primitive things that we keep getting hit with
require some criminal genius to come up with?

OBL was emasculated. He hides in caves, travels at night and can't show
himself in any world capitals. Or in any cities of any size.

If we caught OBL tomorrow and killed him, there would be 10 more guys
waiting to take his place. Us killing innocent people all over that
region creates more terrorists than we can kill. If Afghanistan is
really the cradle of terrorism, why to we enable them by making the US
the target of choice?

There is no value in chasing down OBL. Leave him as the mythical leader
of Al-Qaieda. Let the fear of him showing up prevent the Al-Qaieda
lieutenants from taking over.

In real life, if we ran all the terrorists out of Afghanistan, they
would pop up in Somalia, Yemen or some other rogue nation where we
have no influence..

Keep them in one place fighting the great Satan, where the great Satan
can more easily kill them. Just like we did in Iraq.

Islam seeks world domination and they will not stop trying to achieve
that goal unless they are all dead.

Yup, Bush had a great strategy. Lure the *******s to Iraq and kill
'em. Got a bunch of 'em killed too.

Obama thinks they're just nice guys with a bad upbringing who will
listen to reason if he can get them to the negotiating table.

What a joke.

No argument on Iraq but I blame that on GHWB and Clinton for not
getting the hell out of there when Powell told them to.
Without the aerial occupation of Iraq for 10 years and the
infrastructure we built up around that, the invasion would not be
possible.


?? We needed to contain Saddam, which we were doing. We could have done that
for another 20 years with very little loss of life.
