No. What we have learned here today is that if your country gets attacked by terrorists as retribution for your government's support for the US war on terrorism, and your country's electorate then votes out the government, you have given the terrorists a win. In the long run, this will only encourage more terrorism.

Got it now?

Don't change horses midstream, even if Horse #1 is drowning, because it just encourages more water. Got it.

I think they allow reciprocal use of their underground missile launching pads and henchmen armies, kind of like how belonging to the Yale Club gets you reciprocal membership in clubs worldwide.
Don't knock it - they have a great happy hour.

December 1944- Somewhere in France, US general surrounded, asked to surrender by the Germans, who had staged a rather desperate, albeit sucessful attack:

Response Option 1: Accord, we should not have gone to war against Germany- it was ill-advised

Response Option 2: Nuts!

I love it that people who purport to understand the way that Al Qaeda thinks are calling other people irrational. Carry on.

You haven't pointed out yet how anti-Semitic the Spanish are. If we're going to do that today, could we get it over quickly?

There will be a terrorist attack on our soil about 3-5 days prior to the November election.

I'm the one who spends hours devising spelling errors, remember. If anyone here can do irrational, its me.

"They keep telling us they're behind us every step of the way. Kerry must be making it up." Right, that's the ticket.

I thought you guys were saying we should like Bush because he tells the rest of the world to lead, follow, or shut up. Now you don't believe that some of them don't like it?

Surely Rove won't go that far.

If such a thing were to happen, don't you think it would help re-elect Bush? And might you not conclude that that was what Al Qaeda wanted?
