Belgium to America - drop dead!

Who Let 911 Happen? We All Did..

A key reason that al Qaeda operatives wreaked havoc on 9/11 is that virtually no one, especially among our political and cultural elites, believed that our national security was in any serious jeopardy.    [American Digest]

Deliver Us From Democrats

"And of course there was Carter's masterful handling of the crisis in Iran, leading America to betray our ally, Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi. Even as Carter was back-stabbing this loyal U.S. ally, the Shah was assuring those around him, "The United States has always been our friend, and it won't let me down now." Sadly, there was no one to warn him: "Run for your life! A Democrat is in the White House!"

Obesity Bullshit

"Our enemies may be lean and hungry; but we have enough of our own lean and hungry people to take care of the problem -- most often, wearing words like "USMC", "U.S. Army" or "82nd Airborne" on their arms.

Not bad, for a nation of fatties."   [Kim du Toit]

Saudi al Qaeda man calls for killing Americans

"O mujahideen this is your day, your jihad and this is your enemy occupying your land, turning it into bases to fight Islam and Muslims, and controlling apostate agents. So fight them until...you only see blood and body parts as they have done to your brothers in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq in their battles in the Muslim peninsula."

Daily Kos - Again

"I think, simply that the root issue remains that Bush et al decided to respond to the sponsors of the terrorist acts, rather than the individual actors. That's a legitimate policy distinction, and one where, as I've said in the past, I fall on the side of the White House.

But to somehow assume that the President and National Security staff will personally foil every plot (although the image of Condi Rice dressed up as Wonder Woman might be pleasing to some) - or even manage the response to every plot is ludicrous."   [Winds of Change.NET]
