Oh, the irony. I guess we should just forget that Kuwait is supposed to be a friend since we saved them from Saddam.

On another thread, you asked about the secret hearings which began today and the potential for when leaks would come out. I said this evening's wires. Lookee here. Coincidence? Or an administration controlled story? Hmmmmm. The article speaks of "officials" telling the Clymeriated Pressholes directly. Oh well, time will tell...

Yes, one guy, profiling, generalization, mumble, grumble...

At what point does it become a problem, when the whole country masterminds an attack against us? I'm sure you would not wait that long, so tell us exactly how many anti-US Kuwaiti terrorists it takes before we can begin to question our supposed ally.

I thought there was a report a few days back that Atef was still alive and probably in Pakistan.

Abu Zubaydah, captured in Pakistan in March, is said to have told U.S. interrogators that the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was destined for the White House, suggesting he knew of the planning.

Bosnia was the main logistic hub for the 9/11 Atta Cell.

Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was a well know jihadist for the Bosnian Muslims and came up with a plan to use airplanes as weapons of mass destruction he named Project Bojinka "loud bang" in the Serbo-Croatian langauge of the Bosnian Muslims. Project Bojinka - US Knew Of Bin Laden Philippine-Based Airliner Crash Plots in 1995

"We are confirming the presence of [bin Laden’s] al-Qaeda network in Bosnia," said a spokesman for NATO-led peacekeepers. The arrests, he added, had "disrupted" the network. "[But] it has not been destroyed. Investigations are continuing." Direct links to bin Laden, in fact, focus on just one man, the apparent leader of the Algerian cell. Bensayah Belkacem, 41, alias Mejd, worked at a humanitarian agency in the central town of Zenica until his arrest earlier this month. Combing through his dingy rooms, police found two sets of identity papers (Algerian and Yemeni), blank passports, and — in his mobile phone — the number of a senior bin Laden aide, Abu Zubaydah. Like Belkacem, Zubaydah is a veteran of the Bosnian war. Investigators say he is now in charge of screening recruits for al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. According to telephone transcripts, the men discussed the procurement of foreign passports. There was more: Belkacem made 70 calls to Afghanistan between the day of the U.S. attacks and his arrest.

How much our alliance with the Bosnian Islamic jihad undermined our security is a topic up for great debate. IMHO, I think it was our Achilles heel and may explain a lot. Accuracy In Media was the first to call this Clinton's BIN LADEN GATE

I just scoured the rosters of all the NBA teams. Did not see it listed. Can't be too common. :/

I have no idea how common that particular combination of names might be, but Khalid and Mohammed are extremely possible names in Moslem areas.

No, not "profiling" or "generalizations"! That's not the problem. You are taking a position that it's OK to wipe out a whole country just because one guy who was born there but who does not live there is now our enemy.

By the time this incident comes up for a vote, they will have no choice but to accept your control of the system. It is too late for them to stop us now. Everything is going as planned. The Jihadists will soon be in my control.

Best way to take care of 'im: Fill Yankee Stadium with cops and firefighters. Helicopter Muhammad's butt to second base. Give him one instruction -- "If you can get out of the stadium alive, you can go free." Then take off in the chopper. The SOB wouldn't make it two feet off of the bag.
