She probed further: "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?"
While Murray voted against Bush's war resolution, she supports the war on terrorism and wants bin Laden brought to justice.
Nevertheless, Vance's press release has Murray sending a message that the "United States somehow deserved or brought on the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks."
Oh please, what nonsense!
A couple paragraphs later, Vance gets to his objective: "If Patty Murray really believes what she said, she should think twice about running for re-election."
Slow day around the office, Mr. Vance?
And Nethercutt, R-Spokane, released a statement full of innuendo, saying, "Congress is a place of debate. I guess we now know which side Sen. Murray will be debating from when Congress resumes."
Then Nethercutt, who voted in 1997 to withdraw from the United Nations, delivers his upshot: "I would welcome the chance to have a one-on-one debate with Sen. Murray on this topic."
Testing the political waters, congressman?
Fact is, Murray's information about bin Laden is right. The Associated Press quoted a bin Laden expert saying the senator's comments were "a generalization, but mostly accurate." Sen. Murray challenged bright students, who might be soldiers in the war on terrorism, to make sense of our nation's circumstances. How subversive!
Are they insane? The Taliban doesn't even let girls go to school. The only "schools" they have are ones in which they learn that Christians and Jews are the Infidel and should be slaughtered. Day Care Centers? They don't even let women out of the house...how stupid can they be? Hospitals? For who? Chechen Terrorists?
Murray should be removed from the Senate.
Note that as long as the SeaTimes quotes the AP, then an independent check on the veracity of the claim is unnecessary.
