How would it make you feel if all the Al Qaeda training videos that have been

beaten to death on the telly, as well as the videos of Osama with the AK and so forth were taken during the time that we were supporting the Mujahadeen, funding them, and backing them to the hilt prior to abandoning them for adventure elsewhere? I often wonder when or in what decade were those videos taken... and if it was from the time we were backing them I feel somewhat hoodwinked.

1. I'm sure the "terrorists on monkeybars" vids are pretty old

I can't imagine that kind of training is needed in order to be able to crash a plane, ignite one's crotch, or wear a suicide vest. Those vids look like people training for combat.

2. My feelings exactly, so if it was during "that" time, the use of them in order to

enlarge the boogeyman is sort of intellectually dishonest.

4. Republicans won't care. You have to have some intellect

in order to be intellectually dishonest. SOME intellect. Not a lot. But some.

3. Discuss the verbs of actions, not the nouns.

It makes things much easier to understand.

What they do, that most disagree with, and why they disagree with that, and what other groups with different labels do the same things.

6. That's a pretty damn good question but since OBL was excuted and dumped at sea...

749 miles (according to google earth) from the village he was killed in (...) it's probably unlikely that we will get an answer

Anyway, silly, we aren't supposed to ask such things, because our Government always tells us the truth

even though it might take a few times to get it straight

Now don't you have the decency to go shopping or something?

USA USA USA!

You'll be surprised at how good you feel once you start chanting with the mob. You'll feel like part of something BIG! Seriously! Hella BiG

7. It was so much easier

in the Good Ole Days, when heroes wore White cowboy hats, and evel-doers wore black. President W tried his darnedest to define reality in that way.

You raise a great point. Recommended.
