Is this "War on Terror" getting out of hand? It has been disclosed that Bush ordered wiretaps against US citizens without first getting warrants. Click here to read the NY Times article.
His comment that those who oppose him are putting the nation at risk is, in my view, are way out of line. How is breaking the law going to safeguard us when it's a violation of the very liberties he is supposed to be protecting? Arlen Specter, a PA Republican Senator, is conducting hearings next year to investigate possible illegal activity. Personally, I'm glad the renewal of the Patriot Act is stalled and people are starting to voice concerns over this whole "War on Terror." The total cost of the war now exceeds $220,000,000,000. That's about $700 for every citizen of the US? Do you feel that much safer after shelling out that much money? Here's a link to a site that keeps a running total of the cost. I think it's time to take a hard look at what we are willing to sacrafice in order to fight terror. |

QUOTE(faithin_felix @ Dec 31 2005, 12:38 AM) Why, against all standard protocol, did NORAD fail to respond on that awful morning? What was the role of the four simultaneous war games on the morning of 9/11? Why did WTC building 7, which was not hit by a plane, mysteriously fall in a symmetrical implosion eight hours after the attacks? i believe you misunderstand the purpose of NORAD. NORAD doesn't protect america from passenger planes. they protect north america from soviet nuclear bombers and missiles. and as far as WTC 7, you've heard of fire, haven't you? |

It's not him talking, I think he's just copying and pasting. |
