FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

The idea that the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein helped al-Qaeda plan the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a view once promoted by Bush administration officials, has since been rejected even by the president himself.

But I personally support the theory that Bushies knew what was coming and let it happen.

4. Osama, buddy you fucked up. You made us (US) learn about Islam and for that we are going to screw

you good. Seven years ago we didn't even know there was such a thing as Sunni (other than what can be prevented with good sun screen) or Shia (sp?, FU I know you exist, that's all for now). But now we do. And how does it feel to have awaken the eye of America. And with that, we sic Sarah on you (hopefully, 'cause she is just as dangerous to us as you)
