2. Wait a minute...
I thought we were fighting them over there so we didn't have to fight them here? Did some of our troops come home and Al Qaida followed them here? Geez, I sure am glad all our troops are here, instead of in the middle of a civil war, to help protect us. :sarcasm:

5. How long until * declares martial law?
Anyone wanna guess? The news for the WH and the GOP is looking bad, so they want a way to cling to power as long as they can. :puke:

7. What, the AP interviewed CHERTOFF's gut? Plus,
what about all this protection Shrub has given us since 9-11? How could Al Qaida rebuild all those capabilities without being hampered by Shrub's deterrences?

11. It's getting really hot as Bush becomes more and more unpopular.
Just remember who the real terrorists are. They were always here, they didn't just arrive.

Hang onto your hats, it's going to be very bumpy from here on out (if * ever agrees to leave the WH.)

22. "AP has learned..." simply means "The White House told AP this bullshit and...
...we're just parroting whatever they tell us, without independently verifying it ourselves."
