The Education Department has advised school leaders nationwide to watch for people spying on their buildings or buses to help detect any possibility of terrorism like the deadly school siege in Russia."""

Hold it - - I thought we were safer because Saddam has been ousted? Guess not. REMEMBER OSAMA? MAYBE IT WASN'T SO SMART TO TAKE THE FOCUS OFF OF AL QUADA. I cheered when Bush, after 9-11, said he'd get Osama "dead or alive." I got grumpy when Bush lost that focus, stopped talking about Osama, and became fixated on a country that didn't have anything to do with 9-11 -- and DIDN'T HAVE WMD STOCKPILES.

Hey, we could be fighting the whole cult of radical islamists here instead of in the Middle East. Attacking schools would be a common event. Does that sound better?

We are safer without Saddam, but the work clearly isn't over. I don't think Bush 'lost focus' - depite Clinton's decimation of the military, we have enough troops to fight a multiple-front war.

As far as the WMDs go, we KNOW Saddam had them (he used them). He refused to provide proof they had been destroyed because if he had, he'd be letting his enemies know he was defenseless. So in the absence of that proof, it was reasonable to conclude he still had them.

"I thought we were safer because Saddam has been ousted?"


LOL! As if Saddam's removal caused the Muslim terrorists to suddenly stop hating America?

Tell that to the victims of the Madrid train bombings. Oh wait -they're dead.

DIDN'T HAVE WMD STOCKPILES

But it did have WMDs, just not in "militarily signifigant" numbers. Terrorists would only need one.

Culled directly from John Kerry speeches. You're pathetic and you're using this website to campaign for John Kerry.

Bush took the focus off of Osama because Osama's dead.

Which part of this don't you understand?

Had we not been in Iraq we would never have found out that terrorists are targeting our schools.

Did you learn at the knee of Neville Chamberlain?
