What sounds better.. Airplane suspected to be hijacked shot down by the military or them crashing them so we can't get blamed for shit?


And I started to read the whole lies thing but it's just boring liberal jibber jabber.. We took out an evil man. End of story.

Either he has wicked telepathic abilities or his removal didn't mean a damn thing. A good amount of people there still want us gone an are pissed enough at us to kill their own countrymen just for siding with us. The only progress they've made is the progress we've forced them to make. We rigged their "historic" elections and called it democracy. We expected them to overcome millenia of cultural and political differences in a matter of months and draft a constitution (with our help of course and, if it's not done soon, those "historic" elections will be null and void). Now all of our best intelligence says the "insurgents" (I have a sneaking suspicion that if those guys were our guys, they'd be heroes, not nightmarish villains) are laying low for a while only to pop back up and hit us hard. Think: "Tet offensive". So I'm not altogether sure that the prevailing thought of Iraqis praising allah because we came and arrested one guy is correct.

As for the planes, it's funny...some people out there (I'm not one of them) really think that we DID shoot flight 93 down. We did scramble F16s, but didn't shoot anyone down.
