Hey, what do you expect from the dimwit like me? :) I was always slow to follow and absorb the official version of the events, especially that it keeps changing.
Well you got me there. But how about the latest, which coincidentally all are using simultaneously, 'better to get terrorists there than over here'. [so we deliver our guys to them with targets on their backs].
The 'war on terrorism' is as phony as the 'war on poverty' or the 'war on drugs'. It is never ending nation building in Washington with wars on nouns as political slogans.
