Muscatine

1. When is the current administration going to catch Osama Bin Laden? We've been waiting, what, 7 years to get this guy? Even with a $2,500,000.00 bounty on his head it appears that Osama is nothing more than a cleverly created, falsely reported, Muslim boogeyman.

2. Why was the CIA initially turned down for more U.S. troops in Afghanistan when intelligence reports were substantiated that Osama was holed up in Tora Bora? Why did the current administration reject the CIA's request for more boots on the ground to cut off all access routes into Pakistan and instead were told to utilize and rely upon Eastern Alliance warlords who were known to play both sides against the middle?

3. Why is Norman Podhoretz, an avowed neo-con and zionist extremist, also author of the book ''My Negro Problem-and Ours'', allowed such close proximity to this administration in an effort to push our Nation into war with Iran? Where does this Zionist come off in making the statement ''that the retreat from Iraq should not be similar to the retreat from Vietnam. Arguing that when the US withdrew from Vietnam, it sacrificed its national honor by a disgraceful show of weakness and cowardice.'' Why is this Zionist allowed to even set foot inside the People's House after making a statement that not only denigrates our Nation but slaps the face of every Vietnam veteran who served in that conflict?

4. Finally, why is it that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly are allowed to cry foul when they are personally attacked in the media? These men make their living attacking those of the opposite political party. These, ahem, gentlemen are not above slinging their own mud and arrows and yet, all we hear from them of late is how they are being slandered and attacked in the media.

I'd like to remind everyone that Mr. O'Reilly, who publicly accused the kidnapped minor child from Missouri last year of more or less enjoying his captivity when found in the custody of his kidnapper, that the young man testified this week that he was able to talk his kidnapper into not killing him as the man had his hands around the boys throat preparing to squeeze the life from him!!

So, in an effort of taking a page from Mr. O'Reilly's own discourse when may we, the general public, expect an apology from Mr. O'Reilly to this young man and his family for his callous and careless comment? How about NEVER?

Enjoy your final days in the sun my conservative friends. There are so many leaks in your dike you've ran out of fingers to plug them all.

Your opening paragraph

should have been your last because that paragraph pretty much sums up the feeling of most people these days.

#1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Forgive me but wasn't Clinton kind of hamstrung in his action adventures by a Republican controlled legislature?

#2. See #1. Also, seems W and his buddy Cheney (F..k you Leahy)have a little difficulty with the cool control factor as well.

#3. You avoided the question as to why a person of this ilk is advising our leaders to find a way to go to war with Iran? In answer to your question, yes, I did read the book and if you study your history you'll note it was written during the middle of the civil rights period. Now you can come away with your own thoughts after perusing, what 9 pages, that place the author in his best light possible. Zionism is what is destroying our country from the core. We are backing a Zionist nation which we helped PLOP down into the middle of the Arab world and we support them solely, solely mind you, while other Nations do not. Why is it the Zionist can have nuclear tipped warheads, the Iraqis and Iranians could not? Oh that's right, the Israelis are only protecting themselves. Maybe if the Israelis and Zionists would have learned long ago how to get along with their Arab neighbors we wouldn't be faced with the ''terrorist'' problems we have today. Oh and by the way, it was the Zionist who termed the word ''terrorist''.

#4. If you don't watch, listen or read about what's going on with these buffoons how are you able to formulate an opinion as to saying shame on them or shame on me and others for misconstruing their remarks. Sorry pal, you can't have it both ways. But you are totally correct on the politically correct slant. Hats off to you there.

Your right about one thing pal, it will be the same shit only with a different crowd. The on-stage shenanigans in Washington have went on long enough with the current players so I'm ready for some change. Taxes? Look pal, if all your worried about is an increase in your taxes then you do need to pay more attention to what's being said by these babbling fools on the airwaves.
