Oh yea....and his mama didn't breast feed little Johnny either! Gimme a break! I can't believe this happened so quick, the libs are already forming his defense.

"It's about blaming it on the Republican's, and formerPresident Bush."

Yup. The white mans war. Saddam gets no blame either.

"It's not his fauwwwwlllt!"

"the Gulf War defense didn't work for McVeigh"

Yes, but the media had no sympathy for McVeigh because he was white, "right-wing," and nominally Christian. In 24 hours we have already seen more efforts to rationalize or deflect blame for Muhammad's actions than were put forth during the entire time leading up to McVeigh's trial.

"Yes but that was due to a chemical in the air that he was eposed to as a youth. Bio-units are checking every place he ever lived to find the chemicals that are responsible for his life because he is black and he is Muslim he cannot be personally responsible."

Let's not forget they'll need to find out if his mother was a drug addict or an alcoholic, and if she smoked. Maybe she had fleas or an STD which could have screwed up his brain. They can't let any stone go unturned.

"Understanding" is great. It helps us see why a person did what they did. However, it does not negate or justify the actions. I don't need to know "why" in order to say, "wrong is wrong".

I look forward to libs defending these guys. Elections these days are all about turnout. The party that is holding its nose will not get the turnout.

The Washington sniper suspect, John Allen Muhammad, may have been exposed to chemical weapons that have been linked to Gulf War Syndrome

Big deal.

So was I. And so were hundreds of thousands of others who haven't assassinated or shot 13 people around Washington D.C. and other places. So far, few of us have carried out mass murder plans.

Muhammad has.

If the deceptive Mr. Wood genuinely wants to investigate some toxin Muhammad was exposed to that would have predisposed him to violence, he might try the Nation Of Islam or Radical Islam. That fits Muhammad's behavioral malady more accurately.
