’ is the largest industry in their country. If we stopped giving them money, they’d be #1. Iran doesn’t have a nuclear bomb, nor do they have Bin Laden.
We should have dealt with Iran by securing the Iraqi boarders. There should not have been a single Iranian fighter in Iraq once we went in there. Of course, I realize that securing the border is not one of our governments’ strong suits... but that should be the simplest thing for a military superpower to do.

I think the terrorists are simply upset because Dear Leader hasn’t given them their unicorns and lollipop trees yet.

Jeez, imagine how crushed Alex is going to feel after the election when she doesn’t get her rainbow-colored unicorn…

I think Alex (t)Witt has a bright career ahead. She’s a shoe-in for a hosting job with “The View!” She’ll give Joy Blowhard a run for her money.

OK, in her defense, she may not be so stupid. If there were indeed many who felt this were true I would like to see who they were and hear their quotes.
Now if she was merely making a straw man argument, then yes she is a few pancakes short of a stack.
You never know, there might have been lots of lefties predicting that the mere election of the one would fix the world. (somewhat sarc!)

At one level, it blows my mind that CNN would broadcast such swill. On another level, it’s just what I expect.

You won’t be disappointed then. The woman is painfully stupid.

AP bores right down to the liquid core of the question, effortlessly. Names, Alexandra - who said that they think Al Qaeada is all warm and squishy about Emperor Hopenchange?
This is just some nonsense she heard whilst chatting with her equally numbskulled friends about the wonder that is The One.

Hey Biden was right. The Black Caesar hasn’t even been coronated and it’s beginning.

There are those who had hoped that with the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama administration there would be something of a lull in idiocy on our news broadcasts. Alas, it goes on.
scalleywag on December 1, 2008 at 5:49 PM
And I’d like to know who “the many” are. Obviously not experts on the roots of terrorism. I’m no expert but I do know it has very little if anything to do with who inhabits the White House. These people are vicious cold-blooded killers who would have done this if it were Ralph Nader who got elected. Alex Twitt, clueless hack. Grab a towel, your ignorance is showing!
scalleywag on December 1, 2008 at 5:55 PM
No shocker, every person who voted for hussein voted for “change” without researching ANYTHING about him. They voted blindly, so the intelligence level is expected to be low as is the self-esteem.
fools.

I’ve seen dogs eat their own turds and now the MSM is doing it as well…with gusto.
Wyznowski on December 1, 2008 at 6:11 PM
It just boils my blood to keep hearing references to Bush when it comes to terrorist activities. These things have been going on long before he even thought of running for president. And he takes the blame over and over. And yet who was the guy who has had to keep us safe after 9/11, who is the guy who keeps warning that these things are going to happen, that the threat continues to grow, that we have to be vigilant and fight our enemies abroad so we don’t have to fight them here. Who thought it was important enough to go to war to rid Iraq of a ruthless and cold-blooded dictator with terrorist ties and wmd ambitions? Who knew the importance of establishing a strong democratic ally in the Middle East? Who takes seriously the threat of nuclear weapons by a lunatic in Iran? Who are they going to blame a couple of years from now when these tragedies keep happening? The guy living at Crawford ranch? Find a new scapegoat, please. That dog won’t hunt anymore.
scalleywag on December 1, 2008 at 6:11 PM
Wow. I’m reminded that this woman has only one parent who was originally a Witt, so that clearly makes her only half…
leucanthemum b on December 1, 2008 at 7:06 PM
Maybe the problem is she had two parents that were Witts and this is what happens when you have a non-diverse gene pool.
Sweetness0726 on December 1, 2008 at 7:17 PM
On a different note: Maybe the average work-by-day, terriost-by-night, weekends and holidays does not watch MSNBC and did not know the One has come and has healed the land already.

HHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!
OOOOHHHH….MMMYYYYYYY….GOOOODDDD!!!!!
I had no idea these idiots actually believed this Obama “light worker” crap.
I thought they were only pushing it to get the uninformed dopes to vote for the chosen one.
Unbelievable!!!!
Baxter Greene on December 1, 2008 at 8:10 PM
The terrorism / quest for world conquest has only been going on since 700 A.D. Surely the left can blame GWB for something that has been going on for 1400 years or so??
If it weren’t for leaders like Charles Martel and Jan III Sobieski, Europe, and the world, would have fallen centuries ago.. Funny thing.. Things were a lot quieter under GWB.. Wonder why?? The terrorists sense weakness.. I don’t know why.. Obiewandopey had a full 143 days in the senate and none of that bothersome military experience..

Ha, I’m glad he uses the proper English name for this city. I don’t care if they “changed” the name (that is, adopted the Gujarati name instead of the Hindi form Bambai).
Using exonyms is the norm in any language. (America, for example, is Americhe in Italian, Runa Simi in Qechua, Emerîka in Kurdish, Ixachitlān in Nahuatl, Ketxua in Basque, Amerikí in Greek, Amerikia in Arabic, &c. In other words, people adapt the name to their language, use an old name or translate.
Should we say Mullywood? Or, if the Germans suddenly changed Berlin to Burlon, would we do that?
Tzetzes on December 1, 2008 at 9:24 PM
We love to invoke the spirit of Carter. Maybe Bush is the left’s Carter.

I guess some people have decided that Islamic terrorists only came into existence during the current Bush Administration, conveniently forgetting that the first World Trade Center bombing and the African embassy bombings and the Cole bombing all happened with a Democrat in the White House. A Democrat, I should add, that the rest of the world supposedly loved as much as they now adore Obama.

A powerful lesson I learned in Iraq and Afghanistan is that Middle Eastern cultures value one virtue above all others. It isn’t generosity, compassion, kindness or even the much vaunted Middle Eastern hospitality. The one virtue they value most is strength.
No one in the Middle East will respect someone they perceive as weak, and in a shame/honor culture, respect is ones most precious possession. That’s why Saddam Hussein was seen as an Arab hero, even in countries of which he was an enemy, like Saudi Arabia. They perceived
