The "war on terrorism" has somebody asleep at the wheel. Maybe it's not Bush, but certainly it's the president's job to wake them up even if he's not directly responsible.

Crap, What's the point If you read some on the Anto-American rhetoric on Topix.

If it doesn't concern their gas tank or wallet they don't care who gets killed.

USS Cole happened in 2000. American's didn't care then and they don't care now.

Just a sad commentary on the state of patriotism.

I count the al Qaeda honchos killed in your tally on my fingers. I count the Iraqis killed in the thousands.

You get al-Qaida to go stand alone in the middle of the desert, and I'll tell the President where to bomb!
