The "Experts" conveniently forget who trained and funded the terrorists in the 70's and 80's. Many Al 'Qaeda operatives, and leaders were directly paid for by Donald Rumsfeld in the 80's. Originally Al Qeada and Osama Bin Laden were trained to counter the Soviet Threat in Afganistan during the Soviet-Afgani war(1978-1988). In the words of Malcom X, it was a clear case of the chickens coming home to roost.The enemy is not in Afganistan and Iraq, folks. The enemy is not where people think.

Terrorism has Increased, Americas greatest threat is it's loss of Civil Rights from It's own government. The Country is being taken over by a few who are consolidating there power using the Patriot Act. Police are using advanced Sound,Electrical,Microwave and Chemical Weapons on an ever increasing bases.

Evidence of this abuse of power and loss of Civil Rights are recorded on film taken at the GOP 2008 Convention that was just held.

@ubuibiok Right on! The reality is, our government has been infiltrated by terrorists. Obomber is a Mossad operative,his objective is to bankrupt America so it can't afford to defend itself against an Israeli takeover. At the same time he usurps more governmental control, he leaves the south border open to all,defending the rights of the illegal's over the citizenry, inviting the cartels to make themselves to home.

I think you've confused this group with something else. This is far from a right wing Neo-con group. It's a progressive activism group, which is exactly the opposite of the right wing Neocons.
