America's kind of terrorist?Bush risks undermining cause in al-Qaeda battle

http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=b8cebda2-7994-4061-b462-8076ab7f328b

WASHINGTON - It has become one of George W. Bush's most famous warnings, delivered with finger-wagging resolve to allies and enemies alike.

"America has a message for the nations of the world," he said after the Twin Towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001. "If you harbour terrorists, you are terrorists."

In the three and a half years since the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. President has repeated the ultimatum dozens of times.

Now, with the arrest in Miami this week of a Cuban exile accused of masterminding an airliner bombing in 1976, Bush is being asked to live up to his own no-tolerance approach toward accused terrorists.

1. Well,

I never saw anybody bomb Michigan or Idaho or any of the anti-choice militant group haroboring states for their terrorists...and since the hijackers that perpetrated the 9/11 attacks had lived here (and many were know threats) for several years, I guess the United States was guilty of harboring them too.

Oh wait, maybe that is why the chimp is doing everything he can to destroy this country...it all makes sense now!

2. What about Ireland then.

I'm also sure that the same threat was made concerning funding of terrorists. what about funding for IRA terrorism in America?

6. I'm sure Ollie North is next

He and all of the rest of the Iran-Contra scum who funded those Central American death squads that raped and killed nuns and children should be rounded up as well. And they will be easy to find since most of them are currently part of the maladministration: Negroponte, Poindexter, etc.
