"Talk to me about our concentration of wealth, Walter, as you sail around on your yacht." BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! ROFLMAO!!! This is the best comment on the thread.
I'm sure Walter absolutely believes that he EARNED that yacht, but everyone else stole it by stealing stuff from poor, destitute Third-Worlders.
To: LibWhacker
We didn't steal it. Senile old POS.Please tell me what POS stands for everyone keeps using that and it is driving me mad.

Do you remember the "bad old days" when Cronkite's report was the final word? There were no rebuttals.

Mr. Kronkite, meet Dr. Kevorkian. Since you are already brain dead, the good doctor will finish things up.

President Clinton sailed wind-whipped waters with his wife and daughter near their island vacation quarters Tuesday and plotted a mainland return to combat talk that the Monica Lewinsky controversy has crippled him politically.
As if he had turned a corner, the president -- who, for days, confined himself to private meals with close friends and let his golf clubs grow dusty -- put a new, public face on his family vacation.( AP Wednesday, August 26, 1998) goes with photo
The Clintons sailed for 90 minutes near Martha's Vineyard, an island off the Massachusetts mainland, with the man once known as ''the most trusted man in America,'' veteran TV newsman Walter Cronkite, aboard Cronkite's blue-hulled Wyntje.
All three Clintons grinned, waving to news cameras and a crowd on the wharf

The hijackers all came from Saudi Arabia, one of the wealthiest countries in the Middle East where they have government provided healthcare etc. Bin Laden's father is a billionaire, and he used his personal fortune to bankroll Al-Qaeda.
Cronkite has memorized a bunch of decades old airheaded liberal generalizations and platitudes and brainlessly applies them to any situation, regardless of the actual facts. He made some comment at the start of the military campaign in Afghanistan, suggesting we weren't going to be successful. This undoubtedly was based on the dingbat Vietnam analogy that immediately comes to the front of any liberal's mind when we start a military action anywhere for the sake of national security.

hard to add anything to what's already been said, except:
What a pile of horse do-do.

An utter fool and an udder fool in the same boat.
Anudder pair of udders along for the ride.
Nuff said.

Obviously, Walter Cronkite is not paying attention to what the leadership of terror groups have to say about why they are conducting terror against the infidels.
So, Uncle Walter, I'll speak really slow so you can understand me.
Terrorists believe that Islam has been humiliated by a culture and religion inferior to Islam. It is their duty to wage jihad -- a holy war to throw off that culture and restore Islam to the glory and honor that it should have. It is their duty to convert the world by the sword to Islam. If, and this is a big if, they decide to be merciful to the conquered, then we may be allowed to keep our religion, but we will be regulated to dhimmi status. Our lands taken, our property taken, our children taken to be raised as good Muslim.
Walter, this is their history. From the defeat of Islam in Europe and especially the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI, they have not had the means by which to fight. Oil wealth, modern communications, and the fall of the Soviet Union have given them the means.
In the face of terror, the West has retreated and surrendered. That surrender has only produced more terror.
One culture bent on domination... the other one not really sure (by the sound of editorials, democratic and RINO complaining) they want to fight.
Tune in tomorrow to see the how this clash of civilizations turns out!

if each one of our citizens is indeed rich, then can we finally eliminate welfare?
To: fight_truth_decay
....terrorism is caused by "this great division between the rich and the poor in the world." The people of the world "who don't have adequate housing, don't have adequate hospitalization, don't have adequate medical care, don't have adequate education," Cronkite warned, "are not going to live forever in the shadow of the riches that we display constantly." Newsflash, Mr. Cronkite: there has always been a great division between the rich and the poor in the world. Many have long had inadequate housing, medical care, and education, etc.
What has changed, however, is that people in those poorer nations are now able to see that division, thanks to the television and the internet. Unable or unwilling to toss out the tyrants, their frustration is easily manipulated by ideologues and terrorists who care not one whit whether they live or die.

Walter is wrong, walter has always been wrong. Amazing he passed off as a trusted newporter for so many years - He really is just an beat up old socialist hack.
To: fight_truth_decay
wally is sorely mistaken because when you compare wally to the Bin Laden family - wally is the have not - the bin laden family has more money than wally will ever see...
perhaps the bin laden family should bomb the sh*t out of "wally the have not" because under wally's own terms he is a have not...

"anti-U.S. terrorism is caused by "this great division between the rich and the poor in the world."
Translation,t they're jealous of what we have, but too lazy to work for it.
