"Terror attacks up 29%, report says
By Warren P. Strobel and Jonathan S. Landay
McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON - A State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Friday.


The annual report's release comes amid a bitter feud between the White House and Congress over funding for U.S. troops in Iraq and a deadline favored by Democrats to begin a U.S. troop withdrawal.

His kind of humor. Oh yeah and terrorism is up 29%. Watch his drive!

There ain't no terrorists in my backyard! Damn liberal media--we're obviously WINNING!

Global Warming?

My outside thermometer says it's cold! Damn liberal media--climate change is obviously a HOAX!

Think for myself?

Bill O' Reilly on the TV told me what to think! Damn liberal media--If it weren't for reality, I'd ALWAYS be right!
