I know you agree. I was simply explaining why I think it is so wonderful.

But now I have taken Scott off Ignore, and read what he posts, and now I feel quite slimy and need to go take a shower.

>>But that wasn't the only "terrorist act" of 2001 there was the Anthrax letters which threw the country into chaos and where has that investigation gone. All of a sudden it was American made anthrax, and the "prime suspect"... according to some... who was apparently seen on surveillance video coming out of the weapons lab well after his security clearance had been cancelled was one Dr. Phillip Zack but there is no investigation into his involvement. Could it possibly be, as some web sites contend, because he is Jewish and therefore perhaps has dual citizenship in the US and Israel? <<

>>Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever.

We wouldn't have had either WW II or the present problems in Palestine and the Holocaust would never have happened.

or if Internationally, according to the UK Daily Express, Jews hadn't declared war on Germany on the 24th March 1933 and called for and carried out a boycott of German goods by Jews around the world and therefore economic warfare against Germany. Would there have even been a Second World War?<<

>>What kind of argument are you trying to put forward in ridiculing people who want to know if their government procedures failed or worse were deliberately put on hold to let the disaster happen as a provocation for war. <<

The man believed to be the key planner of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 -- and several al Qaeda attacks in the last 10 years -- was among three terrorism suspects arrested in a CIA-led operation early Saturday in a house outside the Pakistani capital.

A leader of Pakistan's largest religious political party, Jamaat Islami, lives in the house where Mohammed was captured. The group has not taken a formal stance on al Qaeda, but it has condemned the U.S. presence in Pakistan. It was not clear whether the party leader was arrested.

My comment:
More evidence that Pakistan should be considered a battleground, not an ally.
Also, more evidence of the close connections, between the ideological leaders (politician heading an Islamic political party), and the military leaders of our opponents. If we want to strike at our enemy's heart, we have to go after the ideological leadership. The guy we captured is the Hand, not the Heart, of our enemy.
