Such a silly post. I don't know whether to laugh or puke.

I was just wondering, could you find Leon Klinghoffer and ask him if any of the kind folks being harbored by the Hussein regime were a danger to Americans? Oh wait, you can't, because he was slaughtered in his wheelchair and dumped into the Med by one of Hussein's guests, Abu Abbas.

Given what you've written here, I'm certain that if Clinton had decided to deal with Al-Qaida during his tenure, you would have condemned it as a "military effort that [didn't] defend Americans and their property in the United States." By the way, I'm sorry you slept through that whole September 11th thing. Somebody slams two kilotons of combat power into Manhattan on a Tuesday morning and you think preventing it (or worse) from happening again is not a legitimate national security concern? You deserve a Darwin Award. Fortunately for you, it is others who will pay the ultimate price to keep this nation safe. But please, don't just settle for dishonoring their sacrifice online. Why don't you get some exercise and go spit on their graves while you're at it?

A little history refresher course from Ann Coulter on the Achille Lauro hijacking. So, Greybird, states that welcome, harbor, fund and train these sort of thugs are not a threat to the United States?

From "AT LEAST SADDAM WASN'T AT TAILHOOK!" By Ann Coulter

In 1985, Muslim terrorists hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro and threatened to kill the passengers and crew unless 50 imprisoned Palestinians were released by Israel. The terrorists doused American and British women with gasoline and taunted them with matches. They forced passengers to hold live grenades. When their demands were not met, the terrorists shot a wheelchair-bound American, Leon Klinghoffer, and forced other passengers at gunpoint to throw him overboard in his wheelchair...
...President Reagan was briefed on the daring plan [for F-14s to intercept an Egyptair 737 carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers] -- along with copious warnings from timorous State Department officials that the Europeans might have their feelings bruised, America would look like a cowboy, and it would only strengthen the hard-liners in Egypt. Asked if the operation should proceed, Reagan said: "Good God! They've murdered an American here. Let's get on with it."

Please note that Mr. Abul Abbas and his lackeys did not harm any Americans or damage any property "in the United States" which Greybird has cited as the only reason for U.S. military action. Of course, Hitler never killed anybody on our soil or damaged any of our stuff here...maybe we should have asked him nicely to rescind his declaration of war against us in December of '41!
