131. I am not at all sure it is contradictory.
I certainly agree that the illegal occupation of Iraq has raised more enemies than friends. I do believe it has put us in more danger individually and as a country.

Some do doubt the validity of the British police in the newest situation. Perhaps this is because we are all educated and when you have researched the Downing Street Minutes then you realize that the Brits have worked with * from the very start of this whole thing. They have both known it is all a pile of hot steaming dung.

I believe we can all agree that * has lied to the American public repeatedly. If you can agree with this last statement then you can agree that we would be fools to accept what anyone in the cabal says without at least examining it.

When we think of the last big terrorist capture then our mind goes to those poor folks from Florida. We were led to believe they were going to attack the Sears tower. I bet most of the population thinks our government did a great job and stopped a huge attack. How many of them even realize these folks could not even afford boots and our government bought boots for them? It is ludicrous to think that they would have done anything. It is stories such as this that makes people skeptical.

For myself, I believe new enemies have been made and I believe the Brits did catch these people. I am more skeptical of what happens on our side of the pond. It would seem that * has used fear as a tactic to try and keep the American public in line and do what he wants us to do. No matter how bad the news, it seems they try to use it to their advantage in some way, shape or form.

It is with all of this information in mind that I am grateful that the people were caught overseas. I would point out they were caught not because Georgie was on top of keeping us safe and sound. This is why I roll my eyes at anything the Republicans have had to say today. I can not count how many things I have heard from the right about this terrorist attack. And when you hear people like Tom Delay accusing us of not even wanting to catch the terrorist and to just talk things out, then I think I can be very suspicious of the right.

It is disgusting how they will use any event to try and win favor with the public. They trot out the "L" word and put us down every chance they get. It is hard to take the cabal seriously when they are not the ones catching the crooks. It is hard to take them seriously when they use a bad situation to smear us instead of getting up there to just assure the American public. It is hard to take them seriously when they have lied to us so many times.

I do not see any contradictions in the way I feel because I do believe some bad people were caught. I think a lot of people just approach the * cabal as being a joke and not caring about our welfare. Are we to believe they care about every US citizen after the tragedy they allowed in New Orleans? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
