Ted RE...But its true.......the Alaska Air crash off the coast of CA two years ago; last year's AA crash off the coast of NYC.....both were caused by poor airline maintenance.
Which part is true, that more crashes are caused by shitty union mechanics than Al Qaeda or that Gw is over blowing the terrorism scare, or the part where I said, that should be the mantra of the Dem. party. In the first place, you mentioned only two crashes you claim was caused by shitty union mechanics, however AFAIK the NY American one was possibly caused by a faulty stabilizer. There, AFAIK has been no determination whether it was a design flaw or bad maintenance. Same with the ALaska Airlines, there was grease on the gear, Boeing maintains it was the wrong type of grease, however, that didn't totally satisfy the NTSB as Boeing has had to put in redundant systems so if the primary fails, there will be a backup. Most commercial plane has redundant system controls on all major control surfaces, why didn't Boeing have one here? Shitty union mechanics, faulty parts, or bad design, or a combination of all three. Even if both were caused by shitty union mechanics, that would only be two planes, whereas there were 4, count them 4 on 9/11 alone. Plus there have been numerous attempts, Richard Reid, Kenya, hijacking etc. Pan AM 103. After 30 yrs of hijackings and death, isn't time you condemn the murders for what they are, murders, not righteous jihad, but murder, plain and simple.
More importantly, we have more to fear from OBL than Saddam. Why the impassioned Right can't see this is the huge question for the new millenium.
Are you sure? Saddam has killed millions so far, Obl probably isn't over a hundred thousand yet. Iraq also has far more strategic interest, and we can remake Iraq, we aren't going to remake Al Qaeda. So just as Al said the other day, we start with the safest, easiest to win, and isolate OBL enough to make him vulnerable. |
