WASHINGTON - On this snow-draped Inauguration Day in Washington, a few people on Capitol Hill were thinking about the worst: a catastrophic attack that could kill or incapacitate most members of Congress, the president, the vice president and the cabinet.

The unseen presence at this first inauguration since Sept. 11, 2001, is al-Qaida, whose terrorists showed three years ago how capable they were of killing thousands of Americans in one place at one time.
At 9:30 on inauguration morning, in his office in the Longworth Building, a short walk from where the president would soon take his oath, Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., said, “It is very clear that al-Qaida wishes to do only things that are destabilizing to the United States. More modest terrorists would have blown up an apartment building in the last three years. But al-Qaida is not dead and they don’t think small. They think in terms of the power of the United States and how do you symbolically destroy, physically destroy, that power.”

You could get some real putz that way.
Imagine Bill Clinton as the UN Ambassador. Under this unconstitutional proposal we would get Bill Clinton some putz as president...(again)
Eagle to cat - Don't even think about it.
Noticed that as well.
Been watching since I got back form a light highway run.
Yes, this is rather odd.
Seems Kona doesn't want to say who they used to be.
So there IS a nefarious plan behind this.
Blech!
can you believe they are now demanding MONEY for wav/audio files of the Godzilla roar???
dammit.
2-1/2 hrs. and no reply from Kona Coffee. Over under until ZOT- 90 mins.
Gee, Rep. Sherman, ya think maybe that's why we're fightin' em in THEIR own backyard instead of ours?
And the dummycrats call "W" dumb...
Sheeesh!
Could it be...
jjfate?!?!?!?!?!?
Whoa! You guys are rough! Take it easy. I was only posting something I read out in the main-stream media. If that is the kinda propaganda the main-stream is pushing to the masses, I don't think we should completely turn a blind eye to it. Sure we can all agree we are conservatives. I'm not taking sides. However, I would hope that FR is an intelligent forum for intelligent discussion. I like this space because its the best place to find up-to-the second information that isn't necessarily filtered. Wasn't trying to initiate a flame-war.
If he is, he's become much more coherent.
Careful, Kona. That comes across as code for "I'm going to post some Liberal tripe here, and if you don't like it, you're uncultured and you smell bad." If you've been here before, you know the drill.
Then you should have saved it for when you could have sat at the computer and answered people.
Thanks for coming back.You mentioned you had been a poster here on FR before.
What was your screen name you used?
