1. Not surprised

Yet again people who attack US assets are free. Seems to be a common theme these days. If governments were half as dedicated as terrorists, this so called "war on terror" would have been over long ago. Bush talks a great deal of the war on terror, but never seems to get much done. Put me in charge of the efforts and terrorism would be a thing of the past. Ah, sorry... I watch too many movies.

3. Amurka has enough problems at the Mexican border, with

healthcare, with crime, with the prison system, with education, with pollution, with its returning sickened troops, with hurricanes, with the environment, with just about everything.... but still she persists on looking for problems elsewhere....

2. Another glorious American victory in the "War on Terror®"

Way to go, Yemen -- letting some of the region's most murderous thugs go. After all, Bunnypants Bush Jr. won't be able to get his "War on Terror®" on without terrifying terrorists of terror to round up -- besides, that is, Osama bin Forgotten, who is just not a priority for our Popular Wartime Preznit.
