"Sen. Patty Murray intended to be provocative when she told a group of high school students terrorist leader Osama bin Laden is popular in poor countries because he helped pay for schools, roads and even day care centers." ... "We haven't done that," Murray said. "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?"

There is NO WAY TO INTERPRET THIS but that this woman was praising Bin Laden and criticizing the United States (Is it any surprise? I've yet to meet the liberal who won't take any opportunity to criticize us and support our enemies ... particularly these West Coast Liberals).


This is so unbelievable to me that this kind of density exists. Please note the word "provocative" up above. She said what she said intentionally to make a point. Her point was similar to those that have been made by Al and others. That another way to get peoples' attention besides dropping bombs is make positive improvements to their lives.

While I understand you will never endorse that view that does not mean Murray is praising OBL. She knows what an asshole he is but she also knows how he's been able to gain favor.

There are a number of ways to skin a cat and she was providing still another. Its so sad how restricted conservatives are in their thinking....you all go down one track and if that track deviates in any way, you freak.......really, really pitiful.
