I can't even fathom what it is that makes a persons mind work like that.

I guess that makes us even,because I can't fathom how anybody's mind could allow them to deny the obvious. Do you REALLY think there won't be more attacks,or that none of them will be successful?

I sleep peacefully. How about you?

Just fine,and my head's not even buried in the sand. Thanks for asking.

Is this goofy thread still going on?

[Mo1]

Yep .. want some popcorn??

No need. When we refused a transfer of Bin Laden to a "neutral" country, the Taliban declared war ON US. This war is using the precedent set by the Barbary Pirates war and it is the ONLY rational model to follow. 971 posted on 6/16/02 9:45 PM Pacific by Texasforever

Totally agree.

We declared War (March 2, 1815), AND we conducted most of the extra-military hostilities through Letters of Marque and Reprisal.

In other words, the Federal Government took pains to ensure their actions were doubly Constitutional, and that the Letter of the Law was strictly observed at all times.

Seen that kindofa Strict Constructionism lately?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

No, it might happen. But it is not orchestrated by Bush as it appears you are implying.

[Washington_minuteman]

Sure. Nothing on shortwave tonight, so why not :-)

[Howlin]

You entitled to your opinion, of course. And I'm entitled to know you're wrong.

If I can show you are wrong will you finally concede the point?

[Fred Mertz]

Go stick your heads back in the sand. We won't admit to seeing it, okay?

[MJY1288]

Do you believe that the war we are currently conducting against the Nationless terrorist who openly declared war on us is unconstitutional?

[Demidog]

No, they don't matter to sneakypete. They're dead, and they didn't die at the hands of the federal government. Why should they matter?

The fact that you are impugning the character of a decorated war hero should make you extremely ashamed of yourself. You are dispicable.

[Howlin]

How important are the lives of thousands of innocent American civilians when compared with the opportunity to misrepresent and attack the actions of this administration?

Oh, move to the head of the class. You nailed it right there!

PS: Have you noticed the most absolutely rock stupid opus in the history of FR has turned into a thousand post beatdown with people on the verge of being banned or quitting?

I think this issue has been turned inside out and people are just going to have to dissagree and move on.

We REALLY need some new material to blast each other over cause Dubya and padilla have been worn completely out after this thread.

I mean honestly, what else is left to say?

[OrthodoxPresbyterian]

You've seen me "squim"? Squirm. Like trying to hide behind a typo.

C'mon, Ros... we both know that I was being kind.

Come out and play if you want... but you never win. Heck, you're nothing but an after-dinner dessert for me.

For me to let you go on a typo? Poor Ros... like a compulsive gambler, determined to lose no matter how many times it takes you. I was being generous.

ROTFLMAO. The DOG calling someone else despicable. Well pigs do fly.

I'll listen.

We declared War (March 2, 1815)

"Commodore Edward Preble (1803-4) forced Morocco out of the fight and his five bombardments of Tripoli restored some order to the Mediterranean."
