Maybe they’re just attacking us because they’re a bunch of religious zealots driven crazy by centuries of oppression in the middle east.

Oppressed by who, I wonder? Certainly not oil hungry Americans…

Oh right.  It was Halliburton that was ruling Iraq before we invaded.

Thanks for reminding me, Chad.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Rob...I watched the video and the message seems quite clear that bin Laden is still a problem, America is less safe, etc. because, instead of addressing the terrorism threat head on, America tied itself up in the Iraq operation. I suppose it’s clear to me because I agree with it but the sooner youse guys own up to Bush’s mistake then the sooner we can all start solving the problem. It’s still not too late you know.

"There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn’t work.”

It’s a valid point in my estimation.

When the going gets tough…cut and run on oversight.

Nice going bushco, you make us so proud.

Excuse me, you were saying?

The clip was only 30 seconds. I can’t believe you didn’t watch the whole thing.

Wesley Clark actually says:

“Because of Iraq, America is less secure.”

Nice cherry-picking, Dave.  Clark’s point is clearly that America has caused the terrorism problem by invading Iraq.  That’s a stupid point, because terrorism existed before we invaded.

Get a clue.

Do you really think Wesley Clark thought terrorism didn’t exist until we invaded Iraq? You think he just plumb forgot about everything you listed? Jeesh, Rob.
