That will be something to see as they roll all over ol' Bob Schieffer on CeeBS.

Rod, that wouldn't be possible. You can't roll over a willing accomplice. Don't trust Schieffer, he's a Dan Rather clone. Remember his "Purple-faced Rage" comment about Clinton in the August 1998 video deposition? Schieffer never once apologized for that blatant lie.

Excellent point and I do stand corrected! Hard to roll over an ally. Good catch AB.

I watched a few minutes of the C-Span stuff with Chicago professor Robert Pape.He is reviewing, I guess it's his book, "Dying to win:The secret of suicide terrorists."

Pape Claims he has a 42 page document on al Qaida and their plans for the future. He claims the Spain and London bombings were forecast and there are plans for the U.S. later.

His key claim or rant, he mentions over and over, in a mild mannered composed sort of presentation, is the presence of our troops on "sacred"(my word) arab lands are the root causes of terrorism and he links all kinds of stuff to just our "being" there.

What he fails to say however is that we are rapidly training the local Iraqis to self sustain and then we will leave. That must have slipped his mind. Guy is very slick IMHO.
