Yeah Iraq it very safe huh?

Happy Bastille Day "nondescript guy from europe"

The real deal

Nobody in the world is interested what the US of A or any of its "leaders" does or does not want. We all want to get rid of this arrogant wannabe ruler of the world (USA).

You may want to think that you are the saviors. Exactly like Russians here on the other side of planet. NOT.

We dont want you. If Bin Ladin or any other fighter could blow up your holy (money) shrines, then we are all happy.

Of course the politicians will not tell you that, they will be wailing like Yasser Arafat after 911.

But the truth is short and you will not like it.

Bin Laden?

Well, Mr. Farrell overlooks the fact that there is another possible reason for the purported "failure" to "kill Bin Laden"; and that is that there was never a real effort to kill him, but only a simulation of such an effort- enough to look convincing. Evidence has persuaded many that the events of 9/11 were orchestrated by "someone" very high up in a cabal of neocons within our own government, as a new "Pearl Harbor" to incite the public into anti-Islamist fervor, with Bin Laden being a complicit player in this Reichstag-fire ruse.

Perhaps former Vice-President Cheney has had more to worry about than his reputation amidst the flurry of calls for an investigation of the Cheney-Bush machinations.

Cheney family profits disappear when his enemies do. Failure was the selected option..

Liz Cheney is the enemy; the ultimate propagandist.

When you think of the Cheney family; think dynasty.

Liz Cheney is now the face of ugliness within our great nation. The Cheney's are defenders of torture and war profits and would willfully ignore the intentions of our laws just to justify wars that will continue the profits they believe their families deserve. Beware the intentions of people who profit in silence with the deaths, indefinite imprisonment and torture of others. The only thing the Cheney’s would protect is the legacy and profits of their family, which makes them honorary members of the Blue Sky Tribe. They don't want the enemies of our nation to be killed, because when there is no one to fight then the Cheney family chicken-hawks have to actually work for a living.

As the Morning Joe's and Mika's of our world sit in admiration of the power of the military industrial complex, the mission of the Blue Sky Tribe slowly comes to fruition as the R's and D's become divided through propaganda displayed for profit, in spite of the facts. In the sense that they support propping up our economy with constant defense spending, Republicans have become the cynical tag that they would pin on all Ds; Marxists. Some spit in the eyes of the Cheney's is what they deserve, not air time.

The Blue Sky Tribe has not left the building...but they do want you to hate somebody.

the right reason......

well written

Most people in the world

would have thought it okay for the USA to attempt to kill Bin Laden (as a criminal outlaw) after Al Qaeda attacks of the 1990s, let alone 9/11. But not Putin, Castro, Chavez, Iranian Ayatollahs or other heads of state. So WHAT do you really know about Cheney and CIA plots? WHO were ALL the targets? Anybody know? A few members of Congress on both sides of aisle are SUPPOSED to know at all times.

That's the difference between the USA and a "kingdom".
