Its seems that anybody or rather any nation can be attacked by the non terrorist nation(USA)Its OK for a non terrorist nation(USA) to attack as long as this non terrorist nation (USA) first "labell"the target nation as "terrorist'' and link them to Al Queda or Osama the ficticious"warrior" created by CIA.What have we all come to?Are we really civilise people or are we all becoming crazy because of seeing too uch blue moovie?

And Obama continues the lovely presidential tradition of mass murdering civilians in foreign lands. As long as they don't speak English and have darker skin, Americans seem to tolerate it.

All you fools who thought Obama would be different from the war criminals Bush and Clinton, I hope you've finally started coming to your senses. The American Empire is alive and well and is spreading into Pakistan. Just keep chanting "YES WE CAN."

you know, honestly...i really did have hope for obama when he first began his campaign, but his foreign policy has been the reason i didn't vote for him. he is doing all these half-ass compromises that's only benefiting big business, specifically the health care and banking industries.

[Jellolion1]

well, it is 2 months later, and look at what Obama has done. He has already killed many key AlQueda leaders through drone-based missile attacks. In this short time, Obama has taken out more AlQueda than Bush did in his entire presidency.

[deevee777]

Yeah but Bush has killed more American troops than any president in U.S. history so he holds a record too!

[Jellolion1]

Thats right. Clinton had a huge program set up to kill Bin Laden. Bush let the issue drop after he became president. The reason Clinton had to use cruise missiles was because Pakistan was not cooperative. Today people try to claim Clinton didnt know anything about Bin Laden. Clinton is still the person that came closest to killing BinLaden.

[tribecatom]

Apparently Obama is pledged to make a renewed effort to getting bin Laden. Bush was more interested in Saddam Hussein. I suppose you gotta weigh it up: one man murders thousands of innocents in the heart of America's most vibrant city and the other stops supplying your friends' oil companies. Just who do you go after? It's such a difficult choice...

[Jellolion1]

Go to the national security archives website. There you can see the actual letter from Richard Clarke, who served on the national security council for several presidents BushW. Clarke is close to begging Bush to have a meeting to discuss the plans to deal with AlQueda. Bush ignored Clark all the way until a few days before 9-11. Bush was too busy playing cowboy in Texas.

[tribecatom]

Quite Right!

All the Al Qaeda in the target sites cleared out before the strike because they knew it was coming. Then they reoccupied the sites. Read Shadow Wars by David Pugliese.

"What if???!" Bin Laden had died in these attacks. John Kerry would be President?!

I cordially invite you to look at what Fidel Castro says about Hillary Clinton in my casted video. You may click on rubenlaracast above.

[expatman2004]

I wish the GOP had supported Clinton's attempts to attack AQ. Too bad they were too busy falsely accussing Clinton about Whitewater and Vince Fosters death.

[SOPMODM14]

Too bad Clinton backed down on his over ten chances to kill Bin Laden from 1998-2000.

[tribecatom]

How many chances did Dubya have to kill him 1/20/01 to 9/10/01 I wonder, not to mention 9/12/01 to 11/6/08??

Clinton came the closest to getting him. Dubya was too preoccupied with blood for Oil to prioritize catching the killer of thousands of innocent Americans.

I love those flag idents!
