Now it just seems to mean "Couldn't find it reported from a reputable source". I miss the old days.

If we really wanted to strike back at those who attacked us on 9/11, we'd be bombing the hell out of Saudi Arabia.

15 of the 19 attackers carried Saudi passports.

It's unfortunate that he can't get the kind of information that mintpressnews has at its fingertips.

How many of these claims have been posted on DU in the last couple of days? I have seen quite a few, and so many here with ODS seem ready to believe all of them, though it couldn't be all of them or could it. Yet when the president comes out, along with Kerry and tell us what they have about Assad or his military being the guilty party, which even now other Arab nations are also pointing at Assad as being guilty, well the president and Kerry are just lying like Bush did! Simply unbelievable that some here want to see the president in a bad light no matter what, that they are willing to jump on any BS claim that will help them in their agenda.

Like always they won't wait for the "real" facts to get sorted out, nope that's just not the way to do it, they have to keep that ODS going strong even when the president has now decided to let congress vote on this, which so many of the wanted, at least before the president agreed with them that is.

The only good thing is that there seems to be less people jumping on the ODS bandwagon, and that is a good sign.
