You cannot rationalize with conservatives. No matter what you say or do, you're wrong and they're right. As a result of their ignorance, they got their asses kicked out of Congress and the Whitehouse.
Palin's popularity is indicative of a serious lack of education and evidence of dumbing down of the people in this county. BUT-thank God she was on the GOP ticket. THAT was a gift from God. Even with education in its sad state here, people were smart enough to see the horror of that ditz being a heartbeat from nuclear weapons. Yikes!
@ sandio713, Bottom line is, when your the p[resident, what happens on your watch is your responsibility. The towers dropped on BUSHS WATCH. The economy started to nosedive on BUSH's WATCH. If he's so great, why didnt he do anything to prevent that chaos, huh?
It makes sense to "develop our own energy resources instead of funding terrorism." Unfortunately, the Saudi's are already extremely rich because of us, and have diversified their investments into US defense industries, etc. They get even more wealth from political chaos and war. Imagine you knew 9/11 was going to happen (or planned it), defense stocks must have spiked after 9/11.
You and your son are the terrorist. Who attacked who first ask yourself that. The whole war on terror goes alot further back than 2001.
Its people like you that give these hate mongering terrorist credibility.
Simply put your the American version of Al Queda hell Al Queda even means "the conservative base" I think it goes perfectly kinda reminds me of people like you.

So the fact that US troops just gunned down civilians in Iraq or another troop rapped a 14 year old girl then burned down the family, thats not terrorism right.
But if some Iraqi fights an ivading army that is terrorism.
I hope your son gets a missle up his ass you fucktard
You are no better as the "divide and conquer" methods of the powers that be have a hold of your tiny brain as well. See you behind barbed wire, Scarecrow.
well to answer your first dumb question. President Bush was in office for 7 months before 9/11. the terrorist we're planning it for years. Under clinton thats why.
Wow great answers by this guy... That really seems to be the main tactic of politicians who have just gotten owned and have no way to explain themselves: they just talk about something else.
Another con hypocrite from Texas.....dime a dozen. I'm putting money into the Texas Democratic Party to tromp the terrrorist con bastards in all coming elections. People who vote for jackasses like this one are pathetic and don't deserve American Citizenship!!
There are millions of dogs in kill shelters that are genetically capable of sniffing out a bomb from across a busy plane terminal. Tell me again why we are discussing these puffers and scanners?
Because they can be made quicker than a dog can be specially trained to reliably sniff out bombs and other contraband? Just a logical guess. Now go find a PETA protest. Oh wait, they're terrorists too.
"You now have two hours and five minutes before millions die. What is your game plan Mr. Morris??? "
It is a well-known fact that physical torture does not produce accurate intelligence. You could beat the kid nearly to death and he won't tell you where the device is located. The most reliable way to get actionable intelligence is to "get in their head". Unfortunately, 3 hours isn't enough time.
I'm guessing you think the ACLU is anti-American and liberal, huh.
The party out of power is always going to criticize the other side. what worries me more are the lefty college professors and community organizers now in charge, none of whom ever ran a business or worked in the private sector much less served in the military
If a KSM does plant a nuke in NYC he's not gonna tell you how to disarm it because you torture him. Torturing him would only reinforce the reason he planted the nuke. Using more effective forms of interrogation would actually have a higher chance of success.
"...techniques to pinpoint a wmd in NYC, would someone please tell me exactly WHAT IN THE HELL this bunch is doing running our country???"
Here's a more legitimate question, based upon a non-hypothetical scenario: When Bush Co. ignored NSA warnings for 8 MONTHS about a highly likely terrorist attack on NYC by flying airliners into buildings did you ask WHAT IN THE HELL was THAT bunch doing running our country?
Funny you should mention KSM as "evidence" that waterboarding produces accurate intel. If it's such a fool proof method then why did it take a month and numerous sessions to get KSM to "talk"? A MONTH. Looks like "your" method failed too.
The bottom line is that 3 hours isn't enough to do any good, except maybe to evacuate some people.
"This is not about Republican vs Democrat. It is about keeping your ass and mine alive. "
I agree completely.
Tell that to the GOP pundits/dumbfucks/morons/talking heads going around spreading bullshit, paranoia, and propaganda. This video is a perfect example of that.
However, all the GOP has done in the last year is obstruct - spread lies and fear - obstruct - spread lies and fear, ad nauseum. Their lies and obstructionism hurts all Americans.
Bullshit the moron have been looking at poll numbers and playing politics the whole time. Lets get real here 3 attacks already in 6 months. there is no lieing about that is there?
What the HELL did the GOP. rep say?? I've watched it 3 times and I can't figure out what he actually meant in response to the question. Although he did initially seem to do the best Porky Pig impression I've heard this year.
@CrimsonSunsetfire Well if it comes down too it. We know who will win but we really don't want that to happen. So we try to persuade them to make a secular government. Religion shouldn't be argued about but should be a personal interest and should be kept out of any business, government, and basically anything that involves money. Freedom of religion.
@WarrenERock There's gotta be a line in it somewhere. But I guess that's where the picker and choosers come in and fuck it all up for everyone. Could you imagine the world without religion? Purely chaos I can only assume because our species are much too primitive to fathom the concept of reality without a supreme being. I guess we can settle with over thousands of different religions.
Religion has been a huge benefit to humanity, but when taken to extreme, it's has and does create great harm.
Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence. ~ A. Lincoln
@WarrenERock If we took drastic measures then we would be no better then they are. By the looks of it we'll perish by mother nature before they hand over there religion.
You can only be as smart as your teacher until you independently make your own path. When involving religion, the path will cease to exist.
We need to muzzle Islam, we can't kill it. Secular government and freedom of religion will do this. But, you're going to have to get close enough to slip on the muzzle, without getting bitten.
You also have to know the dogs head from it's ass. The head is in Saudi Arabia, but Afganistan is where the shit comes out. If you focus on the wrong end of the dog, all you can do is clean up shit.
The revelations by the Pulitzer-winning author, a former Washington Post editor, are sure to fuel suspicions the Saudi Arabian government has escaped rigorous investigation into the role it has played in terrorism, including any relevant information it had about the 9/11 operation.
Omar bin Laden was one of several members of the bin Laden family whom FBI agents were ordered to personally escort to safety and help evacuate from the country, along with dozens of well-connected members of the Saudi royal family none of whom were subjected to "serious interviews or interrogations," former senior FBI official Dale Watson has acknowledged, even though most of the hijackers were Saudis.
Watson fielded calls directly from the Saudi embassy while helping coordinate the post-9/11 evacuation.
Omar was the only passenger known to have been the subject of an FBI investigation before 9/11, says Steve Coll, author of "The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century." Yet agents did not question him at all about the attacks before, during or after he boarded a specially chartered evacuation flight at Washington Dulles International Airport on Sept. 19, 2001.
"Of all the passengers on the bin Laden flight, Omar is the only one known to have even a possible connection to Islamist preaching and organizing," Coll wrote. "And yet, oddly, Omar may have been one of the few passengers on the charter who was not interviewed by the FBI."
His flight flew on to Boston to pick up more bin Laden relatives. Curiously, despite the worldwide air travel chaos that day Sept. 19 al-Qaida operative Aafia Siddiqui also managed to get tickets leaving the country through Logan airport, the final departure point for the bin Laden flight. Siddiqui, who received wire transfers from the Saudi embassy, is now in custody after trying to shoot a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan.
Well then I must not be human, because I have no trouble imagining reality without a supreme being. As a matter of fact, I quite like it. Most of my friends and close family are the same way.
Besides, getting rid of religion doesn't mean getting rid of faith. Everyone will always be free to rationalize their experiences any way they want. If they feel they must imagine a supreme being for their own purposes, they are free to do so.
I think I can say that we can agree on the nature of our problem. But, we have a variety of tools in our tool box. You say use a big hammer. I say we need to use the appropriate tool for the job and propose to use the wrench, the hammer could create more problems than it solves. In reality we need to use all of our tools to solve the problem. I don't think we have the ability to eliminate Islam, although that would solve the problem, it is not a reasonable alternative.
It took Bush and his biased cabinet 411 days to announce the 9/11 commission. Eight years and two wars later nothing has changed. We cant win a war on terror, thousands of americans are dying and families destroyed in the process. The only one profitting (or benefitting) from this insanity is the industrialized war machine. Sure you can say we are helping some of the peoples in Iraq and Afghanistan but bottom line its the oil and control were after. what about the genocide in Africa? no $ there
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist... Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961
Unfortunately we do not have an alert and knowledgeable citizenry, the media has been dumbing down the masses for years. When amercan idol owns the ratings, Miley Cyrus' entity is worth around a billion as is Tiger Woods and Susan Boyles you tube " I dreamed a dream" has 83,000,000 hits theirs something wrong. Our education system is in shambles, our economy amuck in monopolies and our debt beyond recoverable, im glad i dont have any children to inheret this mess. I feel for those that do.
As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyedGod grant that my suspicions may prove groundless. Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Col. Wm. F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864.
I can respect your military service, and your sacrifice for OUR country. I can respect your right to your opinion. But, we obviously disagree about the direction and policies of the government. It's obvious that everyone here loves their country, but cons screwed up, not just a little. It's Our turn now. You like Lincoln - a house divided cannot stand. You'll get another chance in a few more years. Thank you for your passionate love of country.
Well, civil discourse is a good thing. The internet really helps. It's hard not to become defensive, irritated and then offensive. But, the truth is I'd like nothing better to share my point of veiw, make a convincing and reasonable arguement. And, from that a better world. Thanks for understanding.
as an american citizen I say: terrorism dont phase me. i aint afraid. i dont believein stopping terrorism because it only takes human rights.fuck the gop
OnlythroughTHECROSS (Such a creepy, christian-right-wing-nut-name): Maybe we should pray that Rush doesn't make it. Wait...that's too much for me to hope for.
Bush lied, Cheney lied, Rummy was stupid, Pearl and Wolfowitz were taken off the leash. Our country -- as we knew it -- was destroyed. The most heinous 8 years in American history. Obama was handed the biggest $h*t pile of any incoming president....save for Richard Nixon. But then Nixon F-u'ed up beyond belief. Gotta love those Republicans.
Obama gave a shoutout to his collegues about health care during his first response to the ft hood tragedy! And why did Harry Ried, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Clinton Jhon Edwards, Hilliray Clinton ALL admit Sadaam had WMDs befor the war started? Get to work liberals!
Nobody admitted anything, they believed Bush. Bush said he believed Geo. Tenent. Now, where does the "Buck Stop." JFK had conclusive proof of Russian missles in Cuba. I expected nothing less from Bush. When he failed to produce proof, I assumed he had proof but could not disclose the nature of this proof for reasons of national security. We all believed this.
Bush obviously did not have proof, and sent people to their death and doom anyway. Not only did he murder and maim in my name, but he did it with my money, bankrupting the country in the process. Obama will never do what Bush did.
Hate to rain on your parade but baby Dictator has done more damage in the last year than any president in the last 225 yrs! Bush didn't do everything right but he kept you safe for 7 years dimwit - The dictator in place now has ratings almost as low as Bush's were when he left office. Oh yeah & he sent 30,000 more troops to Afganistan the very day he picked up his fake Nobel peace price - (it should have been an academy award! O was just voted one of the top 10 corrupted politicians!
@WarrenERock ~ The proof was there! Sadaam had WMds! He used them during the Iran Iraq war and during bloody friday 1988 when hundreds of thousands of his own people died! He also used the against Isreal during Operation desert sheild!
@WarrenERock ~ The hell they arent! Onmissle is capable of killing at least a thousand people!! Why don you quit wahing war against American patriotism! II think you love Sadaam Hussein and bin ladin more than Bush!
@WarrenERock ~ Of course Bush admitted he had no WMDS Sadaam said in his last speeck he NO LONGER had WMds! Which means he had thme but didnt allow inspecters for 12 years to inspect the compound!! t Sadaam was a murdering terorist !On his lt election He recieved 100% of a so called vote from the parlament!That should tell you how evil he was!
@WarrenERock ~ Dude! Sadaam gve a final speech saying he NO LONger had WMDS!! The military had found lagrge and empty caches of illegal missles and warheads along with vhemical wepons stached in a depot in Tabithiwthw thus givinging sanction and a declaration of o Holy War rom bin ladin!a, Ie madea n agreement during the first war that he would remove his WMDs. The troops left. Then violated the agreement to not allow inspecters to check the site!
Bin Laden declared war on regimes like Saddam. Saddam wasnt into religion at all. History yes, religion no. Sorry but there wasnt any connections between Saddam and terror. Saddam was just a son of a bitch who treated his people like shit. But if we look around this planet, how many other govts. can we find who treat their people harshly? Quite a few
ps he didnt let the inspecters in because he was afraid the Iranians wouldnt fear him, not to mention his own people.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels
@WarrenERock ~ The nine most feared words that scare America! Im from the Government and Im here to help! The liberals arethe biggest liars of all! Bush told the truth about Sadaam and bin ladin! So did Barrack Obama! Only difference is, Barrack said hed end the war and lied!
The phrase "the big lie" was also used in a report prepared during World War II by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."
"The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of intelligence agencies around the world," Stanzel said.
The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532 occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to produce or obtain them or had links to al-Qaida or both.
I noticed that there are a lot of dumb liberals on here. It's funny how they migrate to places where they can badmouth others and act like they know something about somebody, when, in reality, their common sense would get them on the subway with a subway ticket. What a bunch of Xmas fruit cakes!
GOP!!! They hit it on the button! Obama and this administration always want to put the blame on everybody but themselves. The Democrats have destroyed this country by continuing to lie like this video. Far left winged propaganda crapola!
republicans are ALWAYS playing politics. They're president screwed us over and to top that off, thousands of Americans died on American soil on his watch. So, you have no room and/or credibility to critize Obama on this b/c his response was better than bush's although the threats different. He handles his situation better.
Although he's doing alot of other shit I dont really agree with. He does need to step it up a taste, but as far as this right here, reps need to shut up.
Since U R so intent on blaming Bush for Obama's blunders, let me enlighten you about what happend before Bush (Clinton era): Bombing of the USS Cole--nothing done, our military slaughtered in Mogadesia--Clinton wimped out and pulled our troops and the list goes on and on. Clinton set this country up to look like victims of a bully in a school yard. That's why we ended up with 9/11. And until we stand up and not act like scared kids in the schoolyard, we will continue to be terriorized.
It's better to do nothing than to do something wrong, like starting a war on a false pretext with nation who had NOTHING to do with the above mentioned terror attacks. People like Dick "Shoot First and Ask Questions Later" Cheney should be held accountable for their precipitous actions.
Govt. waste needs to be cut drastically. This includes the insane H/C bill that is already so bloated, it simply can't be paid for, except by cutting Medicare (more waste by dems) and letting the sick, old and disabled die off sooner. Oblama hasn't a freakin' clue of reality, and most leaders of other nations know it, especially our enemies, of which Mr. naive Oblama thinks we have none. He tried to downplay the latest terror attempt after it failed, but it took him 3 days to say anything.
The "system" didn't work. But, our last line of defense did work. This the "land of the free, and the home of the brave." The passengers who tackled and disarmed the bomber are the kind of people who make this country great! God Bless America!!
The fact that Jasper Schuringa, is Dutch does not invalidate my statement. We are a nation of foreigners. Jasper Schuringa is the kind of person who made this country great! God bless all of US!
The actions of a single individual did what the multiple nations with vast resources and money could not do. He prevented a terrorist attack and saved lives 300 people.
We know if Bush was in Hawaii playing golf or at his ranch when this happenned, liberals would be coming out of the woodwork claiming murder! The liberal media would be critizing him for not coming back to DC to "deal" with the situation. So, turn around is fair play. In this case I don't think Obama did anything wrong. BUT, being that he has been soft on terrorism and national security in general these things do not do him any favors in most people's eyes. We'd expect it from a weak president.
@publicgood ... Because he was not in Hawaii golfing or at his ranch. My point is that since Obama appears soft on terrorism in the first place, he will get criticized for ANY terrorist act whether it is succesful or not. Arn't terrorists suppose to love us now that this god-like man is preident now? After all he went on a world tour apologizing for America's existence. Shouldn't we all be holding hands singing Kumbaya and live happily ever after? I could go on, but my point has been made.
@mktranma ... Who is suppose to say I'm sorry? He went for some meetings and summits apologizing for you and me. Apoligizing for you I can understand, but I take offense for any president who is arrogant enough to think he is the smartest guy in any room and feel he will win brownie points for apologizing for ALL of America becase he as a single person didn't like certain things. Screw him! I know, you feel obligated to defend your hero in chief. But, that says more about you than him.
WHAT not big the dot head shud heve never been able to even get on the PLANE. GOD you will never get it these asshole want to kill you so they can have 72 VIRGINS in HEAVEN thats SICK!!!!!!!
Analogize liberals to children/teenagers and you will have educated yourself more in 5 minutes than people who spend a lifetime trying to figure them out! Everthing a United States leftist does is childlike. From namecalling to" He did it why can't I do it?"
First of all, are you seriously accusing only the Left of immaturity? Please. Both sides make me sick. Only a truly blind sycophant could fail to see the idiocy on their side of the aisle.
Second....I know lots and lots of children and teenagers who are more mature than our politicians.
It's not an accusation it's an analogy. Just try it and maybe you might someday be able to make up your mind about where the country you live in is going.............And no you do not know any children that are more mature than a politician!
The republican party has shown repeatedly that they are only interested in attaining and then keeping power. Just remember what their supposed "moderates" resorted to during the election campaign. To them the only war going on is the political one they have created with the nauseatingly avid assistance of fox.
What really bothers me is that when our country was atacked during the Bush administration, we all got together and supported the President, now, every single thing that happens, and you have all these right wing jerks atacking Obama, like its all his fault.
Lets be honest, this is not a new problem and it will not end in a year or two, Bush got us into two wars and made things worse, these conflicts will take time and a lot of effort to stop, the people we are going against are ready and able.
Lets face it, that ivey league education and bozo admin of Obama hasen't done diddely squat for this country, execpt fail us on every single thing they have attempted to do. I guess Obumbo is finding out that not even his rhetoric and teleprompter can help him now. The best thing this country has to look forward to is 2012 when we get that fucking fool with his ivey league education and bozos the hell out of our White House. Personally, I count the days until 2012.
The most popular billboards you will see in 2012 is ANYBODY WOULD BE BETTER THAN OBAMA!

"One might ask why the Obamao administration ignored multiple warnings about Major Hassan,"
Ha ha, those "warnings" were during the Bush Admin. Why weren't they acted upon?
"not to mention this "underwear" terrorist."
Only a complete moron would blame Obama for the stupidity of intel agents in some foreign embassy.
"There were also many warnings ignored and lives lost to terrorism during the Clinton years."
Specific examples?

I agree completely.
Tell that to the GOP pundits/dumbfucks/morons/talking heads going around spreading bullshit, paranoia, and propaganda. This video is a perfect example of that.
However, all the GOP has done in the last year is obstruct - spread lies and fear - obstruct - spread lies and fear, ad nauseum. Their lies and obstructionism hurts all Americans.

@CrimsonSunsetfire Well if it comes down too it. We know who will win but we really don't want that to happen. So we try to persuade them to make a secular government. Religion shouldn't be argued about but should be a personal interest and should be kept out of any business, government, and basically anything that involves money. Freedom of religion.

@WarrenERock There's gotta be a line in it somewhere. But I guess that's where the picker and choosers come in and fuck it all up for everyone. Could you imagine the world without religion? Purely chaos I can only assume because our species are much too primitive to fathom the concept of reality without a supreme being. I guess we can settle with over thousands of different religions.

The revelations by the Pulitzer-winning author, a former Washington Post editor, are sure to fuel suspicions the Saudi Arabian government has escaped rigorous investigation into the role it has played in terrorism, including any relevant information it had about the 9/11 operation.
WarrenERock 2 years ago
Omar bin Laden was one of several members of the bin Laden family whom FBI agents were ordered to personally escort to safety and help evacuate from the country, along with dozens of well-connected members of the Saudi royal family none of whom were subjected to "serious interviews or interrogations," former senior FBI official Dale Watson has acknowledged, even though most of the hijackers were Saudis.
WarrenERock 2 years ago
Watson fielded calls directly from the Saudi embassy while helping coordinate the post-9/11 evacuation.
Omar was the only passenger known to have been the subject of an FBI investigation before 9/11, says Steve Coll, author of "The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century." Yet agents did not question him at all about the attacks before, during or after he boarded a specially chartered evacuation flight at Washington Dulles International Airport on Sept. 19, 2001.
WarrenERock 2 years ago
"Of all the passengers on the bin Laden flight, Omar is the only one known to have even a possible connection to Islamist preaching and organizing," Coll wrote. "And yet, oddly, Omar may have been one of the few passengers on the charter who was not interviewed by the FBI."
WarrenERock 2 years ago
His flight flew on to Boston to pick up more bin Laden relatives. Curiously, despite the worldwide air travel chaos that day Sept. 19 al-Qaida operative Aafia Siddiqui also managed to get tickets leaving the country through Logan airport, the final departure point for the bin Laden flight. Siddiqui, who received wire transfers from the Saudi embassy, is now in custody after trying to shoot a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan.

Well then I must not be human, because I have no trouble imagining reality without a supreme being. As a matter of fact, I quite like it. Most of my friends and close family are the same way.
Besides, getting rid of religion doesn't mean getting rid of faith. Everyone will always be free to rationalize their experiences any way they want. If they feel they must imagine a supreme being for their own purposes, they are free to do so.
