Congrats, Mark on your nine-year extended contract with Cumulus/Westwood One!
Levin has a huge audience. For every one like you who leaves mad someone else comes along and joins his audience. He just signed a lifetime contract. He will be on the air for the next decade. You do not have to listen or even read these Internet threads about him if you can’t take disagreement.
Quote:
“Iraqis were celebrating. They were thrilled to be rid of Saddam.”
They were so “thrilled” they, operating as insurgents, killed 4000 American soldiers and wounded thousands more. The war was going so well we had to have a “surge” that cost us another trillion dollars. And with no American occupying force, Iraq quickly collapsed, came under de facto Iranian occupation, and spawned ISIS.
And now we have to go back.
Yeah, a great success.....
Didn’t most of the hijacker-terrorists come from Saudi Arabia?
______________________________________________________
Yes the were the spawn of that twisted country. Do you understand that a principle goal of Al Queda was to overthrow the House of Saud so that they would control the Islamic holy places?
The Trump is the a classic example of ‘hoist by one’s own petard’
This is all about Trump now, no defending anyone... he made it about him and that’s what this is from here out.
Did W go after the Saudi Royal family members that FUNDED the Attack ....
NO .
In fact, the Saudi Royal got special treatment during 9-11 and were allowed to Fly out during the NO FLY Ban,
Did W stop the Fast track Student Visas program that allowed these Saudi terrorist into this country !
No . that program was never stopped !
in fact , I Think they expanded it.
Did W ever do anything about CAIR and all these radical mosques that are still open in the US .
No, in fact W lets the Saudi bankroll more mosques and invites CAIR to the WH!
What did We get ?.
A new bloated useless federal employee mess called homeland security which strip searches 8 year old girls ! So cut the crap Cruz Crazy . Your defending W in order to take more cheap shots at Trump. Enough of your smears, lies and spin .
I lost three friends on 9/11.
One was a fireman whose body was not recovered until after they removed the ramp down in the WTC site.
It was left to the everyday Americans on board Flight 93, of whom I knew two, to save the Capitol from destruction.
I well remember the sadness and anger and unity after 9/11. It was the first time this country was united in my lifetime.
We were told to stand down as Islam was religion of peace. A bold faced lie to the American people.
Our military responded brilliantly, but the GW Bush team almost lost Iraq in 2006; and we did not get Bin Laden in 2001.
No question that Obama, to advance the goals of the Caliphate, undid our gains in those two places.
But the incident with the Chinese forcing down our plane in April, 2001 was a foretaste of what kind of response we would have under GW.
By remaining silent during all the criticism after Iraq, GW allowed the media and Democrat/leftist template to be set, and undid the good that was done.
We knew Obama would throw it all away, but he was re-elected in 2012.
And Preibus and Rove kept their jobs.
Which also shows you how corrupt the GOP-E is.
Trump is the only one who will smash the DC Cartel.
He is an imperfect messenger, but he is the best we have got. The other candidates are either insiders or too weak to do the job.
No he hasn’t. But his fan club hasn’t made a peep about it, so he has no reason to.
Who said I didn’t listen to him? Who said he’d be off the air
I’ve seen the ratings and rankings and what I wrote is completely true.
Did you even read my post? Saudi Arabian Wahabis hate bc they are born and bred to hate—i.e.: to hate the US specifically. On 9-11 numerous Saudi Arabian nationals did no more than what their government had indoctrinated them to do. I am asking you what price the Bush administration extracted from Saudi Arabia for directly facilitating these acts of terror. Do try to stay on point.
I already said I was disappointed with No Child Left Behind. But you know what, the support W received from conservatives at the time on those big spending issues reminds me very much of Trump supporters now. It was blind devotion and support then. It is blind devotion and support now. You will live to regret throwing away principle for personality.
Trump supporters are very much like the GOPe. They say we can’t win unless we compromise with Trump, no matter what he says or does or what his history reveals. The GOPe say we can’t win unless we compromise with the Democrats and liberalism. Two sides of the same compromise coin.
you have written pure fantasy. More to the point, you lied to us
Ah...so THAT’S why Saudi Arabia took the lead in tracking down and destroying bin Ladin and his cohorts.
/S
Oh, so Saudi Arabian Wahabis are born and raised to love, admire and respect the US.
Are you serious?
Of course
When did you last meet and talk with a Saudi person?
I’m torn as to which of the two ways Trump successfully puts another democrat in the oval office.
1.) He wins the gop nomination and his bat sh*t craziness destroys him in the general.
2.) He loses the nomination, goes bat sh*t crazy, runs 3rd party, and hands it to the dems.
“The Saudi state indoctrinates its nationals from an early age in the Wahhabi ideology of zero tolerance for the ‘other.’ Government textbooks and publications teach that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or taking part in their festivities and celebrations.
“The state teaches a Nazi-like hatred for Jews, and avows that the Muslim’s duty is to eliminate the state of Israel.”

again I put the question.....
When did you last meet and talk with a Saudi person?
Do try to be more condescending because it makes you look ridiculous without anyone even replying to you.
I did not find your first post clear. From your second post, it seems that you are saying Bush targeted the wrong people. I am not privy to all the information they had at the time; neither are you. If I remember what was said at the time, Osama and al-Qaeda and team were not based out of Saudi Arabia but rather out of Afghanistan.
The 9/11 Commission Report was unable to conclude exactly where the funding came from. Not sure where you got your info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_for_the_September_11_attacks
Apparently there have been suggestions about Saudi involvement. It looks like a lawsuit was attempted in 2009, but it failed. You can read more at the link.
If that is unsatisfactory, go bug someone else.

“There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status.

Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001.

“The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October1998.

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.” Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
“We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction. “[W]ithout question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. And now he has continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ... Sen. John F. Kerry (D, M
