An Observation On The War On Terror
You know, while Bush has been screwing around in Iraq nobody's been fighting in the war on terror. It may be that the reason we haven't been attacked by the terrorists is that we haven't been attacking them.

1. LOL I am watching The McLaughlin Group
They are doing worst and best of 2005. Eleanor just said the Best Spin was the WH allowing the terrorists to kill thousands of Americans in Iraq so that they won't kill thousands of Americans here.

" It may be that the reason we haven't been attacked by the terrorists is that we haven't been attacking them."

When did we ever attack them?

4. It Might Be Argued We Got A Few In Afghanastan
Or killed an odd half dozen or so in Pakastan. That would be about it though.

6. -THe WAR on TERROR-Drugs-REds--insert here
Sometimes the long passages of History seem confusing, distant , and hard to find a common thread. The War on Terror -has been exaggerated- -( I"m not suggesting lack of vigilance)-NOTe: The key word is TERROR-in IRAQ- the Pentagon is funding, training, and arming death squad militias- the same kind of operation as was used in El SAlvador, and Colombia.

TERRor becomes convoluted and not so black and white when things such as CIA - Italian fascists working together in 1980, blowing a train up in Bologna Italy; killing 80--the incident was blamed on communists.

some things never change.
