<b>jasonking4 says at 04:04 AM : Sep 07, 2006:</b> Remember the Anthrax attack just after 9/11? Well that was conducted by a white US citizen (scientist) NON_MUSLIM. His name was released here in the UK.

Really? You wouldn't happen to have this name handy...would you? Seems, according to Wikipedia (although, Wikipedia may not be the ideal source), the case remains unsolved. According to Wikipedia, it seems, an individual known as Dr. Steven Hatfill was a "person of interest"...however, to my knowledge, no charges had been brought against him. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

<b>jasonking4 says at 04:04 AM : Sep 07, 2006:</b> Why isn't he in Guantanomo?

Well, first, because no one has been charged? And, second, because he's an American citizen and <i>not</i> an enemy combatant?

<b>jasonking4 says at 04:04 AM : Sep 07, 2006:</b> As I recall many poeple died from Anthrax poisoning after 9/11, mostly postal workers. If the US is capable of killing its own people, you have to ask what respect it has for the rest of the world.

If the U.S. is capable of killing its own people? You mean, Dr. Hatfill (if it was, indeed, Dr. Hatfill that perpetrated the act) acted on behalf of the U.S. government? Further, you <i>do</i> know Americans kill each other on nearly a daily basis...don't you? You need to brush up on your American knowledge.

<B>Oh...well, gee, thanks for the CBS News blog etiquette lesson there...teach.</B>

<B>alphaa10 says at 03:26 AM :</B> Sep 07, 2006: No, I am not Bush, but neither are you-- be thankful. As your posts attest, the only character limitation on this blog is your own.

<B><<I>snore</I>> (I hope I didn't screw up on the italics. I might get my fingers whacked.) Now, ya' want me to personally attack you so you can report me and try to get me canned from this board...huh? Well, since I'm only here temporarily to address this particular issue. I'm not Bush? Really? Well, gee...and, I'm not the one who pretends I'm capable of running this country better than he...either. Further, the only thing I'm thankful for is that I'm not a weak-kneed sniveling little lefty of whom has, throughout history, ultimately sacrificed the lives of millions due to their complacency and inability to correctly comprehend the full context of evolving threats. You want to blame approximately 2,000 American lives on President George W. Bush? Great. However, I might remind you that it is, in fact, throughout history, the likes of you, in their lackadaisical state, who can ultimately be charged with the lives of millions lost during merely WWII alone. And, lastly of course. I should be thankful you're not Bush...why? What...would ya' have me drawn and quartered?</B>

Every president is a liar. If a president is asked by the media or anyone else about issues that are of a classified nature, whether it be a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, or otherwise, they will lie in order to protect those secrets. And, if you believe otherwise, you're sadly mistaken.

Grumpy-- Your caricature of the American public isn't true to the facts-- most Americans think Iraq is a failure. And despite your disingenuous suggestion, no one expects to be safe. However, Americans do see through Bush and are tired of his incompetence, deceit and lame excuses. ... -- Posted by alphaa10 at 02:33 AM : Sep 07, 2006

<B>Well, I'd really enjoy educating you on a few things and putting many of your fallacies to rest. However, considering the character limitation constraints with respect to this board and being unable to address the full content and context of your drivel, I'll have to refrain and allow you to continue with your fallacious delusions. However, thanks for your time and attention.<-B>

Only if you yourself take on the persona of a jihadist and find common ground with them.

Most who side with Bush are indeed sick of the debate, because daily it becomes more evident Bush made a huge miscalculation at great expense ($320 billion) and cost in American lives (2700 dead, 20,000 wounded) to the American people-- those who should have been able to trust his intentions and his judgment.

Instead, America got a lackluster con-man, a third-rate Texas dictator wanna-be, who told members of his own party-- after they criticized his illegal spying on Americans-- "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's only a GD#$@%! piece of paper!"

I'm sorry that someone like Katie Couric had the oppourtinity to interview George W. Bush! She bleeds, Kerry, Gore, Kennedy, Johnson, FDR. Presidents that care more about them selves than their country, however they all spoke the spoke. I would rather be indebted to George Bush for having strength and viligiance vs. the others. Katie can take her altra liberal sense and move to China. Than just maybe she'll appreicate the hard work our fathers made for this country.

She's not pretty, she's not nice, and the only reason why people like her is that she's katty like most of American Women.

She'll never read this cause she doesn't ever want to know, she'll never be respected.

Kind Regards,
Realistic in Global Sense
PS I'm sorry you missed Oprah's spot, she'll always be better than you ever could on a pinky!

Even Bush recognizes this is a war for hearts and minds, but he acts as though he lacks one.
