It was also the Liberals who felt Bin Laden was not a threat back in 1987 read this
It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator; "Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?"
Ollie replied, "Yes, I did, Sir."
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, "Isn't that just a little excessive?"
"No, sir," continued Ollie.
"No? And why not?" the senator asked.
"Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir."
"Threatened? By whom?" the senator questioned.
"By a terrorist, sir" Ollie answered.
"Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?"
"His name is Osama bin Laden, sir" Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?" the senator asked.
"Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of", Ollie answered.
"And what do you recommend we do about him?" asked the senator.
"Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth."
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore!
Also:
Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners."
However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released.
Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all later reports.
If US censored it how would snopes knwo if it was false? I do find it funny that the person debunking my claim (which "could" be untrue) spent time to go to snopes to seek it out. Was he afraid his poor broken Liberal heart would be hurt? Was he afraid there may be some truth to my claim? Listen use common sense Al Cada didnt just appear in Irag so well trained and with so much weapons. No they were already there!

Pelosi is an fool and could say something and do something to maintain her place in Congress. skill is her element. As for the object you internet site, a million/2 certainty isn't the typical via which you may choose and so some distance all you have right here article are a million/2 truths. The schedule is glaring and so is yours. If there grew to become right into a criminal offense or crimes committed, Dick Cheney nor George Bush did not do the crimes as you intimate right here article. Sorry to burst your bubble yet Dick Cheney did not waterboard every physique. He purely knew it grew to become into being finished and it grew to become into finished with the authorization of George W. Bush and the approval of Democrats and Republicans on Intelligence Committees in the two the abode and Senate. So, if Cheney is liable for committing a criminal offense, then all the Democrats and Republicans alike are in charge. There at the instant are not any sparkling palms below the object's premise.

Try to be objective about this if you can.
Suppose Venezuela was a million times more powerful than the US militarily and decided that they were sick of Bush and they wanted our resources. So they launch a shock and awe military invasion of the US. They bomb the hell out of DC and eventually find George hiding in a port-a-potty. Chavez tells us that we should install an XYZ form of government.
What would your response be?
Would you fight it or just go along with Hugo's plans for us? Of course you'd fight it.
How would you fight it? Would you appeal to world opinion by making videos for internet distribution? Maybe, but you'd also take up arms to try to get the a--holes out of our country. Would you kill them? Yes you would. Would you appeal to our friends abroad to help you get the invaders out? Yes you would.
I think we all would use whatever means at our disposal, some brutal, to attack the invaders. We would gets lots of help from all of our previous allies to fight the bastards.
This is essentially al-queda in Iraq. Al-queda and the Iraqi opposition have a common enemy - us.

Liberal and conservative are such pejorative words. We are all constituents of Democrat and Republican leaders who together share viewpoints which are changed in compromises and represent the law of the land. There is no point in rhetoric like that. I think that everyone understands well that as far as top leadership planning operations are concerned this has never gone into Iraq There are Iraqis who may have some allegiance with the ideas of Al Queida but that is mostly the extent of it. Let us recall the news that states that about haf of America still believes that America fought this war because Saddam Husein had weapons of mass destruction. Even with President's mild retractions and recanting having said this still Americans believe his initial statements which reminds us what Plato said which is something to the effect that in a democracy ignorant people can be mislead to support a tyrant

No, according to the commie libs, al-qaida just decided to vacation in Iraq when they found out that our troops were there. These "freedom fighters" lol, as the libs call them are such fierce warriors and so well trained on the battlefield that they were more than happy to engage our troops in Iraq. You'll never get a commie lib to admit that actually these terrorists are a bunch of cowards who can only blowup innocent people on planes and behead people. You'll never get a lib to admit that Hussein funded terrorist groups and had al-qaida training camps in Iraq. The good americans, unlike libs, know why we are in Iraq.

According to Bush I should think there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq when he invaded it. Then he came there to bring democracy. When 2000 US men were killed he was satisfied that 40000 Iraqi were dead. When was it that Greene wrote The Ugly American??? Why do some people hate the way Americans deal with other countries (Excepting Israel)

Please note that "David/Pilar" and his Al Gore/Oliver North video mentioned in an answer above are a hoax. In fact, North himself notes that the video is a fake.
The terrorist North actually mentioned was Abu Nidal. As the site points out, "To the extent that bin Laden was known to the western world in 1987, it was not as a "terrorist" but as one of the U.S.-backed "freedom fighters" participating in the war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan."
See the debunking at http://www.snopes.com/rumors/north.asp.
I find it interesting that two seconds of research disproved such an absurd fabrication, but no conservative bothered to check his/her facts.

I suspect your going to choose whatever answer suits you personally whether its right or wrong anyway so whats the difference. I find good points on both sides of Liberals and Conservatives and believe in a balance between the two. You and people like you need to stop separating people and work on bringing them togeather instead of creating bigger problems like you are.

Well idiot, there were no Al-Qaeda in Iraq till Bush and his illegal war. We are not talking about now. We are talking about when Saddam was in power.
Think before you talk. Well what am I saying. You don't have the capacity to think - you are a Republican.

The people killing Americans in Iraq are not terrorists.
They are defending their own country.
Give your head a shake and look at both sides of the issues.
