Unfortunately, they weren't in the employ of any particular nation state.
Iraq is a menace. They are working on bad medicine. That ugliness will find its way here if we don't snuff it out. It's mass murder fodder, available to any bidders.
Snuff time.
It's that simple. Iraq is an icon, they've spit in the face of the U.N. and the U.S. for the last 6 years.
See, this is about a militant Islamism winning streak that should have been bitch slapped at the start. Al Qaida and other extremist thugs blew up TWO of our fricking embassies without retribution. They killed our boys in the Khobar Towers and on the U.S.S. Cole without retribution. They set off a truck bomb in the basement of the WTC without retribution. They killed a lot of our countrymates a year ago.
Bill Clinton is a traitor. He can never bullshit his way out of his profound dereliction of duty and cowardice. But, he's history, and he'll be dealt with.
Cue long overdue retribution. The dismantling of Iraq is morally justified. We had young soldiers who died in 1991 to stop the evil schemes of Saddam Hussein. We spared his life, his society, his people to honor our word. He's pissed on all of our soldier's graves for seven years now. Now he dies.
Iraq needed to fall. That will send a message that Bill Clinton would have sent had he harbored a scintilla of honor, integrity and character. It sends a message to the Arab and Muslim world ... we're not f***ing around this time.
Iran will fall from its own fissure. Shit canning Hussein, establishing a new democratic Iraq, can do nothing but put the last straw on some Mullah's favorite camel. Iran is ready to burn.
The fact is, sakic, you don't know WHO killed the 3000 victims. That world is nebulous. Bin Laden was booted from Saudi Arabia, as were many of his followers. You think he lived in Afghanistan because of the amenities? These are individuals without borders, they have no start or finish, but ... they do require money and protection and papers. Iraq gone. Iran gone. Oooh, those papers are now a bitch. That money is drying up too. The Hezbollah martyrs are giving plasma.
Your problem is that you won't support anything that permits our country and this president to win.
If Bush was planning to attack Jedda, you'd say ... what about Islamabad? Lose lose lose.
I can print the names for you if you're interested.
