I thought Clinton proved there was, or maybe, even thought they know it's perjury, they don't do nutin'!


D A- You KNOW I LUV ya! If only it wasn't Kerry, I might be "right" there with you!;)

A different candidate could mean a different stance...

Thanks JAM. I think.

Heard today that Ms. Rice will be allowed to testify in public and under oath.

A very wise (and I think fair) move on the part of the administration. The publicity of the President only agreeing to appear for an hour in private was pretty negative. Especially when Senator Kerry took off on him for "having the time" to visit a rodeo, but only give an hour for the commission.

Good move on the part of the White House.

Dear D A,

I must confess, I have been bewildered of late at the procrastination shown by the afore mentioned heads of state.
I have longed to hear some semblance of an explanation and found myself hoping-neigh, longing for them to come forward.

It was with great trepidation that I cast my affection to him, for he holds the power don't you see? I waited with bated breath, only to have my questions go unanswered. I pray it is not too late and that all will be forgiven him!
Your faithful and loyal reader,
JAM
P.S. In other words-It's about damn time!:D

As Gary Cooper would say:

Yup.

We had been ignoring terrorism for decades. The blame does not rest upon one man or administration. To think so, would be foolish and downright dispicable. It was a problem that most of the world (particularly the U.S.) felt was not our priority. Think about it, how many of you knew who Osama bin Laden was prior to 2001? How about prior to 1994? How many knew what the Taliban was? al-Qaeda? Where they operated? Who they were affiliated with? Who supported them?

9/11 was a wake-up call to the majority of the United States. 9/11 was inevitable to some. 9/11 was when we finally responded to global terrorism on a large-scale.

Yemen 1992
WTC, New York City 1993
Somalia 1993
Philippines 1994
Sudan 1995
Khobar Towers, Saudi Arabia 1996
American Embassy, Kenya 1998
American Embassy, Tanzania 1998
USS Cole, Yemen 2000
WTC, New York City 2001
Pentagon, Washington D.C. 2001

These are just the highlights of global terrorism's recent surges.

BTW FYI, we had covert operatives working in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan (just to name a few) training for unconventional warfare in September 2001.

Throw the "Democrats/Republicans are always right" crap out the window. Do research, don't let 'super-wingers' do it for you. Have a nice day and just some thoughts...

Edit: Oh and to even the cartoon score, here ya go:

And since, most Americans don't have a clue what someone from Afghanistan looks like/what they eat/how hospitable they are towards the Americans, here ya go. (You don't see the REAL WORLD on TV folks)
