Just wondering why something

Just wondering why something like this video wasn't good enough for you. I.E., do you think Bin Laden a liar? Or is it something more byzantine along the lines of the tape being created by the C.I.A. because they wanted to affect the U.S. election and worked in league with the government of Qatar/Al Jazeera?

Main article: October 29, 2004 Osama bin Laden video

Shortly before the U.S. presidential election on October 29, 2004, Arab television network al Jazeera broadcast an 18-minute video tape of Osama bin Laden, addressed to citizens of the United States. According to the English translation distributed by the BBC and other media outlets, he tells viewers he personally directed the 19 hijackers,^[15] and describes his motivation:

I will explain to you the reasons behind these events, and I will tell you the truth about the moments when this decision was taken, so that you can reflect on it. God knows that the plan of striking the towers had not occurred to us, but the idea came to me when things went just too far with the American-Israeli alliance's oppression and atrocities against our people in Palestine and Lebanon.^[16]^[16]

Bin Laden claimed he was inspired to destroy the World Trade Center after watching the destruction of towers in Lebanon by Israel during the 1982 Lebanon War.^[17]

Aw shit, now I've got to go

"entitled" is a bullshit

"entitled" is a bullshit dog-whistle used to knock her out in 2008. She served as Senator 2001-2009, Secretary of State 2009-2013, and worked on a number of White House initiatives in her 8 years as 1st Lady - a fair bit more federal experience than Obama had in Jan 2009. Additionally, she persuaded almost half of Democrats to vote for her in the primaries, which is typically called "earned" rather than "entitled".

Still you don't say - what are her "inhumane" and "ignorant" attitudes that aren't policy of the current president? Who is your hero that doesn't share these attitudes, since most of Congress seems farther to the right?

I certainly don't have a

In reply to What's your hard-on over

I certainly don't have a "hard-on" over HRC but I do despise most everything she represents. She has publicly displayed many of her inhumane and ignorant attitudes and since she feels entitled to run for President I feel entitled to support people who throw shoes at her.

I think you've got the wrong "Peter".

An easy mistake to make.

Also, I stuck my nose into your discussion with l'otro Pedro.

In reply to Hussein launched a war that

I'm combative when you start out with "liberal hawk" and all war is bad and the US is worse than Russia ever?

We shift into debating the attack on Hussein - I point out the awful things Hussein did, the mass killings, to balance the complaint about the children - our choice was to

a) do nothing and let another Mideast tragedy take place, or

b) do something and have side deaths take place, (or

c) Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld option 3: fuck it up completely, get lots of unnecessary deaths and still don't achieve any goals or help Mideast security

You're being combative here

You're being combative here when I'm just discussing.

So it's a little hard to know how to respond here or even get what you're saying.

I'm having trouble finding the 2002 Al Jazeera interview in which two Al Qaeda operatives claimed credit for 9/11, but I'll keep at it. The video our military provided in 2001 may be suspect, but I don't think it should be dismissed out of hand.

We've seen a good deal of evidence, and I'm not talking about unsupported statements by the government. I'll provide some of it, either today or tomorrow.
