Uh, because Osama bin Laden was holed up in Afghanistan, not Saudi Arabia.

But we could have removed the government, cleared out the camps and left, with a stern warning we'd be back if needed. Didn't need to stay for 10-13 years.

The Afghan war? I dunno.

There certainly is a reason for us to 'enter' that country.

But why not Saudi Arabia?

Iraq?

We are goin into Iraq, find a way says w.

I really am wondering what 'reasonable' means anymore.

And to some extent, my choice for President has duplicated the sins of the previous Administration.

We saw the USSR go into Afghanistan and lose their asses. To say nothing of losing their entire nation.

I'm just thinking.

If I had the answers to all of this I would not be where I am right now.

But then again, like 300 million plus Americans, I have not read the entire file on this subject.

The Afghan war wasn't an over-reaction to 9/11. When we do the moral arithmetic, it may prove to be unjustified, but it was a reasonable course, at least with what we knew at the time.

Maybe he should wait to see if this is an actual issue, given that there are so many actual issues from which to choose. Watching the coverage of Lakers and Jazz games tonight to end the NBA season, it would seem to me that this particular issue may not materialize.

As I noted somewhere that the crazy right wingers are out there calling for the death of all Muslims again.

I am going to wait and see.

Anonymous source tells NYPost that everyone has been arrested. We're all in custody but we don't realize it!

Now the Feds are denying that anyone has been arrested.

True but poor in taste. Funny

True but poor in taste.

Funny no news/opinion site I've seen connects the fact that the last mile of the Boston Marathon was dedicated to the Sandy Hook victims, 26 miles and 26 victims, and the last mile is where the terror blast occurred....? Could this be a motive, frustrated gun nuts striking out? I guess we may know soon as post below says arrest has been made.

We also know the Republican Senator who was mailed the ricin letter (sent from Memphis) had just last week voted against the gun filibuster of Rand Paul and assorted wingnut right wingers. We know these people can be violent crazys who can kill.
