   Looks like he kinda missed the boat on al queda though and that is my point.   
   al queda should have been taken out during Clintoon's term not covered up   
   with a bunch of federal funding. When you only take defensive measures when   
   you are being attacked...it looks like he kinda missed the boat.

   ha-ha I find it a little pathetic that you do not know the difference   
   between normal causes of death and targeted killing of civilians for   
   political purposes, you are one of those people that will need to be shown   
   the dead bodies before you believe that these people are out to get us.   
   There is 3000 in NY already, how many more will it take before you realize   
   the implications of being wrong.

   Seems to me you are the one having a hard time interpreting the facts, like   
   I said you watch waaay to much TV.
