Heh. "They're coming to get us." Well, they're not

OK...We can save LOTS of money if we take your word as gospel. Forget what OBL and the other nuts running amuck say. We can just shut down totally ALL security avenues everywhere in the country. We can do as we did pre 9-11. We can behave as do ostriches' .... You are right.

Doing nothing is certainly cheaper.

"They're coming to get us." Well, they're not. They don't have the wherewithal.

You just don't get it. OBL is a BILLIONAIRE. With just one of those videos that he sends out, he has coded messeges embeded to command legions of followers to launch ALL OUT WAR.

He can fund terrorists like those they just caught in America with uniforms and boots and feed them so they can train IN AMERICA in the middle of the night.

How can you sleep at night knowing that!!!!

We have to fund Homeland Security so that we know who are buying boots and why they buying them. We have to know everyone buying a McDonald's Value meal and why. Are they being used to fuel training exercises here in America.

With $1 B, OBL can buy 40 million pairs of pretty good boots. Do you know how frightening that is? Just think about 40 million terrorists with nothing but boots on - storming America.

That is frightening!!!!

I don't know why you want to weaken America. This is all out WAR!!!!!!

Well, they're not

That's a pretty strong statement considering there were at least 4, possibly five, attempted Islamic terrorist attacks on US soil between 1993 and 2001, two of which succeeded spectacularly and one that was only foiled by an alert border guard and a nervous jihadi at the Canadian border.

And we will never know how many attacks subsequent to 2001 have been thwarted.
