Here was this villain traipsing through his own propaganda spiel with copycat Michael Moore rhetoric about George Bush in the schoolroom, and Jeb Bush and the 2000 Florida election. I know this will get me into trouble but what the hell. This dude is all upset because OBL did a video and told us what's creating problems for America in the ME.......he is indignant that OBL has the gall to tell us what to do. After all, OBL committed the second most horrendous act done on our soil in the last 100 years. Of course, the irony......since WW II, we have been telling the ME what to do. And worse, interfering in their politics, gov'ts and their economies.......many Muslims have died because of our intervention. We supported and aided Saddam at his peak......when he was killing Iraqis by the thousands. But this macho man[as opposed to girlie men] doesn't let that bother him. In fact, he may not even know what his gov't is doing in countries other than Iraq. So it never enters his equation. And you know what..............Fox News, probably his news channel, will never tell him the truth about what is happening because to Fox News its all good. There are two kinds of parents when their kid gets in trouble. There are the parents who will ask what the kid did wrong and why he/she did it. They will not defend his/her bad behavior but rather will punish him/her as appropriate. Then there are parents that when they hear their kid is in trouble they get all indignant and defend their kid to the hilt......threatening to sue the school or whatever authority or institution is complaining. I guess the former are girlie parents and the latter real ones.
