@ayguey100 That's what the real killers want you to believe, anyway. The mob, or Oswald, or the Cubans, or anyone but the MIC/CIA...

@Falcon1red lame, the Mob killed Kennedy.

hmm,10 years after Kenndy was killed! He probably died from the guilt from Nov of 1963

Anyone else love looking at the kids argue in the comment section?

Elvis loves black people to cook, clean, and powder his nose for him, other then that i don't think he was the greatest person since god by a long shot.

@itsjustme2919 No, we haven't lost Service members during every administration. I'm not going to let you get away with lying. What do I have to "admit" to? Yes,we've had wars under Democrats and Republicans.Yes, some of them were unjustified. Yes,Democrats were involved. Republicans are hypocrites.They send kids overseas, then when they return they don't wan't to help them with things like school or medical assistance. They'll pay for the war but not for the help during peace.

@itsjustme2919 Look it up(which I know you won't). The last "President"(remember he stole the election and had to have the Supreme Court select him) was a moron who almost chocked to death on a pretzel. Think what you want but the truth is the truth no matter how much you lie.

[Suprkit]

@itsjustme2919 uh, The President was against the war before it was even "popular" to be. Saying he would have surrendered is like saying "Bush got bin Laden" you're just pulling things out of your behind because you're wrong. We had no business being there in the first place. What part of that don't you get?

[Suprkit]

@itsjustme2919 Three minutes,it was more like 10. He chickened out and JUST SAT THERE. I don't care about the kids in the classroom, they have nothing to do with this. All he had to do was say "excuse me" and leave. That's it. So they had knowledge of the plane heading towards the White House, but not of the Trade Center planes? That makes no sense. Obviously he would have gone to a secure location, not back to D.C.

@itsjustme2919 He knew the intel. was not correct. He lied,plain and simple. I blame him and his national security team for not paying attention to the actual threat(bin Laden) and attacking someone who never attacked us(Saddam).
