6. The Muslim fundies would for sure
while the US citizens would probably use it as an excuse to further ignore the ACTUAL war on terror (not the BushCo MSM bread-and-circus "War on Terra").

8. Before Bush got involved there was no WAR ON TERROR
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 03:08 PM by MadisonProgressive
It is a Bush creation. 9/11 was a terrible thing that could have been prevented. Before Bush invaded Iraq, terrorism was a nuisance, not a END-OF-THE-WORLD scenario.

ON EDIT: I didn't mean to imply that 9/11 was just a nuisance, just that we could have dealt with it by getting Bin Laden and his merry men and coming back home.

9. Hence the actual
"war on terror," which I also expand to include abortion clinic bombers, white supremacists, and Tim McVeigh.

As oppsed to the fake "war on terra," which is persecuting and unlawfully jailing anyone with a tan wearing a head covering other than a cowboy hat or a ball cap.

3. Hmmm
"war against the United States and the West."

Funny, if they're at "war against the West", then how come they only attack in Iraq and Afghanistan?

7. If Bush didn't invade Iraq
the whole world's sympathy was with USA after 9/11.

Talking about fool and his money (in Bush's case, politcal capital).

Sigh!
