4. it's 75% of the KNOWN al-qaeda members.
it obviously ignores the unknown and the new recruits.
and probably counts a few that actually aren't even members.

5. It's EZ.
The same way you can oppose stem cell research cuz it 'ends life' but simultaneously hold the Texas Gov. Record for executions, retard or no.

7. Say it on TV.....
it has to be true. And, its a great number. 75% If you said 50%, well you are only halfway there - so, maybe you're only half-assing it. If you say 90%, well, people will believe you're exagerrating. 60% is still a little to low, so, voila! 75%

10. But why does no one call him on this in public? Kerry should have jumped
on this immediately. Would confirm Bush as an habitual liar.
