So it seems Bush remembers who Bin Laden is after all. We all recall his great announcement of “I wouldn't necessarily say he's at the center of any command structure. And, again, I don't know where he is. I — I’ll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him” from March 2002. It was in the run up to the unrelated war in Iraq, so it was natural for him to dismiss Bin Laden at that time, but now that his party is so unpopular, and Iraq is all but a failure in terms of nation building, our beloved President not only remembers Bin Laden, but has upgraded him as well. Now the unimportant Bin Laden is up there with Lenin and Hitler.
I really thought the whole “World War II Nazi” comparison was finished with, but I guess not. I seem to remember the Republicans being the ones screaming the most whenever that “N” word would pop up, but now they are trumpeting it from the rooftops. Should we point out that the Nazis were defeated in less time? “Bin Laden and his terrorist’s allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them,”
Bush said.
What exactly are the terrorists' intentions? I do not mean to be stupid, but what exactly is their endgame? I have heard it was because they hated our freedoms. I have heard they want us dead. I have heard they want us out of the Middle East. I have heard they want Israel out of the Middle East. I have heard they feel invaded by the West. Last I heard they want to take over the entire world.
I know Hitler and Lenin did want world domination. They were very vocal about this fact on numerous occasions; Stalin even more than Lenin. I think Stalin was probably who Bush was talking about, but, as we all know, he is the Dubya and could mean anything.

youw ant to know what they want? look up "the third Caliphate" their smoldering hatred of jews, and by extension, Israel, and by further extension, the US is what drives them.
Its funny to me how people like you cry rivers over the poor poor people in Gitmo, yet dont seem to give a rats behind about the people of Halabja.
i also find it curious your use of "G-d". its not a curse word, you know.
"I know people will say we have not been hit since 9/11/01, but I believe we were hit under Clinton in 1993 and were not hit again by a foreign power (show me proof Iraq was involved in Oklahoma). I thought Clinton was weak on terrorism, but using this logic, he was better than Bush because he actually got the people who did it AND avoided a war, let alone two."
hmm forgetting about the TWO bomb attacks on the WTC, Arent you? and Clintons supposed response? hmm bomb an Aspirin factory, and launch a single tomahawk on the eve of his impeachment proceedings.
Keep your head in the sand, The United States Marine Corps stands ready to defend the USA, even if all you can do is spit on them...

"also find it curious your use of "G-d". its not a curse word, you know."
I love when people try and use that against me. "G-d" is how Jews write it on anything that can be deleted or destroyed. It is called respect.
"even if all you can do is spit on them..."
Show me one place I have ever said one bad thing about our troops. Keep on putting words in my mouth and you don't need me to debate.

Well, Brad, looks like they don't want to talk with you at all, eh? Just crazy Jews who believe in a messiah and all that...
I could see here how an American soldier would be pissed off at you, even though you said nothing against the rank and file at all. But if I read right, you didn't have too much too positive to say about the commanding echelon;
"Remember what we learned last week, day-to-day handling of this war is being run by the military and not him."
The soldiers - this fellow identified himself as a corporal - still think their commanders are OK.
The soldiers here have seen too openly how their commanders messed up and are demanding the chief of staff's head. They may get it, too.
By the way, I appreciate how you identified the Almighty in your article.
May you be inscribed for a good year in the book of life - and may you see your way here - even if right now you do not want to.
Shabbat Shalom from Ma'aleh Levona,

The majority of people on "the Left" as you label them do NOT weep over the terrorists being held at Gitmo, but they DO object to an administration that feels free to suspend the constitution and bill of rights at will, & to thumb its nose at longstanding internationally agreed standards of justice, because memory of past experiences argues that while it may be these terrorists now, it will be the rest of us tomorrow - and that includes you.
BTW, there are plenty of us not in lockstep with Fearless Leader George the 2nd who have served or are serving in the military, so you needn't give yourself airs about your own current military service.

Thanks. I take the silence as meaning I was pretty much on target. =D I know it is not reality, but helps me sleep.
