Speak for yourself.
Blaster's post reminded me, for some reason, of one apparent jerkoff in my USMC unit (Camp Pendleton) in '67 or early '68....he spouted like that.....but since Blaster at least Freeps, there is hope.......by the way, I later heard that the jerkoff ended up losing an arm while rescuing his Commanding Officer (good choice) and got his scuzzy ass a Silver Star.
I have lost faith in this administration in the "war on terror." Inviting Prince Bandar to Crawford? Please.
Saudi Arabia is the source of the terror.
Why is Norman Mineta still the Secretary of Transportation? I guess because his "no profiling ever" policies are congruent with those of his boss.
Listening to all the "Attacking Iraq distracts from the war on terror" talk just makes me ill - attacking Iraq would be a continuation of the war on terror.
I am sure that Freepers care enough. But all of the tentativeness in the press and the public and the world has given our national apparatus pause - it has become timid.
Afghanistan is releasing hundreds of Taliban and al Quaeda prisoners in exchange for some petty thieves held in Pakistan. Our response is?
Saudi Arabia paid money to bin Laden post 9/11. Our response is?
They pay money to Palestinian suicide bombers' families. Our response is?
Germany withholds information on terrorist suspects. Our response is?
Egypt, which is the recipient of a billion or so of our tax dollars annually opposes US action in Iraq and our support of Israel in the same war on terror we are supposedly engaging in. Our response is?
The al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade - a part of Yasir Arafat's Fatah organization - killed 5 Americans in Israel. Our response is?
Do you get my point here?
You and I and other Freepers may care, but as a nation, we have forgotten the horrors of 9/11, and prepare to wallow in sorrow.
Gone are the days where even a squish like McCain could say to our enemies, "May God have mercy on your soul, for the United States will not."
Here we are, afraid to carry nail clippers onto the plane, and worried about what Belgium thinks about taking out Saddam Hussein.
You and I may care, but the United States, alas, does not.
