1) I remember history pretty well. The years between the two WTC attacks are one period of time. In my post, I remarked on the years since 2001.

2) I have no idea whether your figures are accurate, but they are irrelevant to the issue of terrorism though.

3) The British have already made plans to pull at least some troops from Iraq. So have we.

4) Republicans don't plant bombs to kill day-laborers and school teachers. I guess that's why some on the left admire violence and therefore hate Republicans but support islamo-fascists.

5) Letting Americans take his WMD materials from Libya to Oak Ridge TN was an even bigger deal.

6) I've lost track of whatever your argument is. You don't have one and are just name-calling, right?

8) The Bush administration and Clinton administration said the same thing about Iraq.

"The weapons inspectors accounted for Saddam's weapons. " No, they demanded Saddam make an accounting. He didn't.

"If oil prices had been this high during Saddam's rule, he wouldn't have wanted to invade anyone." Not so. Even now that he is under arrest, he continues to insist Kuwait is part of Iraq.

" Bush Sr. watched mindlessly while Saddam prepared to invade Kuwait and told him, point blank, that the US would do nothing if he did. " No, Saddam lied to the Bush adm about his intentions.

"Bush Sr. also watched mindlessly while Saddam's armed choppers mowed down the Shiite rebellion that Bush Sr. had publicly encouraged them to mount."

Amazing. You finally hit on something that actually happened.

".. the US encouraged war against Iran. " The US did not encourage war against Iran.
