you forgot the USSCole and TWA Flight 800 which was covered up by Clinton's admin., yet had muslim terror attack written all over it.
They also forgot a machine-gun attack on German and Japanese tourists in Egypt. I think it was at the Temple of Hatshepsut, and that 50+ were murdered.
Hmmm ... not a peep about all the Israeli's killed in homicide attacks in Israel.
And people forget that Israel is our ALLY against terrorism.
I noticed that, too. But, they're just Jews - they don't count.
Even a casual peep at the instances mentioned will tell you that,even in these times of gory carnage, political correctness will play a big role.So you will find virtually no mention of atrocities in Russia,Israel,India or Sudan(were Christians & black africans are cannon fodder)-all such countries have lost countless number of citizens more than Western nations.I don't see any mention of the Nentanya massacre,Beslan,attack on the Jammu & Kashmir legislative assembly on this truly pathetic list.
Gee, I wonder who committed these attacks? Nevermind, I know who it was, now time to strap em up and finish these monsters once and for all.
