Go away, adults are talking
Not this time but just wait..they will screw something else up real soon.
That is for sure...
You sir are an I-diot
I see what you did there. Going on the defensive before people can attack. How's that working out for you? Moron.
Now, now. Don't pick up the negative habits of the Republicans. I am hoping the people that think we are being too careful about safety don't happen to miss this story.
Is there something wrong with you?
You people are too stupid to recognize sarcasm when you see it.
Okay !! In the meantime, why don't you scamper off to one of your tea-bag parties.
Sarah Palin saw it happen from her window.
And you know they are Muslim, how?
He knows they were Muslim because nobody else blows up airports and other areas containing large concentrations of non-Muslims with such alarming frequency. Wake up and see the problem.
@Jimbo – So I guess Nathan Bedford Forest, Tim McVeigh, Eric Rudolph and Thomas Blanton were all Muslim?
Blame it on the muslims all u want but it was more than likely the CIA trying to make people think it was muslims to lure more countries into this pointless war. The war they are using to scare people into thinking it's ok to pass laws like the patriot act and slowly take away our freedom and rights.
