Huh? No criticism of the military?  Didn't you mention the military killing
people at a wedding party?

"Pressing into service..."?  Where did you hear this?  This, I would like to
read about.  Someone on here just recently talked about coming home from
Iraq.

If they were trying to create the existence of WMD then why didn't they
stage a 'find'?  Maybe, just maybe, their intelligence was really inaccurate
and they considered what they had to be credible evidence.  Shocking
possibility, isn't it?

Yea, wouldn't want them to be able to strike a position from the other side
of the globe.  Do you know what the B-2, at least what is publicly known,
can do?

Space-based things are only useful for sending reports back to the evening
news.

I remember hearing someone of the Iraqi army, or whatever, saying the
Americans were too chicken to get close enough so they could be fired upon.
Chicken?  Not hardly... but the US military can take that guy out from miles
away and he will never even have a clue as to what hit him.

Do you mean Iraq was a whim or wild goose chase?  I guess we need to tell
bin laden's second in command, and the others, that it was all a joke and he
is free to go.

Oh, something I wanted to mention in a previous thread.  Does anyone know
how many times the Pentagon was attacked and damaged?  I can assure you it
was more than the once in 2001, but that never came up.
