The prophet Elijah of the Judeo-Christian tradition slaughtered the prophets of Baal. Didn't even use a slogan.
Yeah, that was probably Bush's fault too !
Osama bin Laden is Saudi; 18 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. Why didn't we take revenge on the Saudis? Just askin', since the Saudi support of wahhabism is what is driving the extremist bugnuts....yep not sure why they would expect to be left alone after taking the towers down.

"wahhabi - a member of a strictly orthodox Sunni Muslim sect from Saudi Arabia; strives to purify Islamic beliefs and rejects any innovation occurring after the 3rd century of Islam; 'Osama bin Laden is said to be a Wahhabi Muslim'"

The 3rd century of Islam would put us around 1000 A.D. or so....
I would no more attack Saudia arabia for this act then I would attack Canada for unleashing Klein on us.
Unless Canada was financing thousands of schools supporting the idealogy that Klein was using to justify his attacks on our beer industry? Eh?I would no more attack Saudia arabia for this act then I would attack Canada for unleashing Klein on us.

You're pretty bright yet like to drop down to this type of argument.I continue to be amazed that some very bright liberals are so willing to chase some of the half cooked assumptions of a certain fat bastard from michigan. The towers were not an act of war perpetuated by Saudi arabia against us. It was perpetuated by Osama bin laden who essentially recruits mercenaries from other countries to do his bidding.

I believe bin Laden is of Saudi origin and he just so happen to get the mercenaries from...Saudi Arabia. And if you wouldn't attack Saudi Arabia for 9/11 then why attack Iraq for 9/11? Duh.
Judging by these quotes its possible to believe that Al Gore being elected president may have garnered the same result:
"We know that he has stored away secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002.
Who cares about him "beating retreating troops"? Hell we carpet bombed them for a week straight, a beating from Saddam was the least of their worries.
Fascinating but beside the point. I am not defending the democrats on this, I am saying that the decision was just plain wrong. The reasoning for war in Iraq kept changing every week in an attempt to garner support. Senator Byrd was right and many of the democrats in congress were raging pusillanimous trying not to be called un-patriotic.
Av, perhaps it is you who needs the history lesson. Please see Wk's link above.Except the reasons to go to war in Iraq did not change every week. When Bush gave his state of the union speech asking Congress and the American people to go to war he laid out a broad case. If anything it was those in opposition to the war that changed their reasons for opposition every week.
