1. Haven't you been watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox etc.? Plenty
of targets left, Syria, Iran, maybe even Saudi Arabia itself. Throw in a little domestic terrorism, and welcome to the war that never ends.

2. Why not throw Spain in the mix?

3. The war can never end....
After all, we no longer have the Cold War to frighten us. And of course, we have a $400 billion defense budget that must be spent on a "legitimate" reason. This is the price you pay to pretend you are being protected by this big, fat defense industry..

4. "Who will the next devil be that we need to conquer?"

well, ideally, that would be the insipid chimp

but, seriously...

they aren't going to catch Osama. he's most likely dead. and, he serves a much better purpose remaining 'at large'

this Al Z. that is supposedly cornered in pakistan is already being touted as 'more important' that OBL. so, this will be presented (as a campaign talking point) as the "GREAT VICTORY IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR" while it will only inflame more terrorist attacks...

which, remember, is a GOOD thing to the chimp and his minions.

remember what Dick Morris said about the the chimp needing to elevate the atmosphere of FEAR in order to be re-elected.

it's insane of course to re-elect the person that has INCREASED danger and FAILED to stop and REFUSES to investigate 9/11

but.... that's republicans! as long as it's good for business, it's good.
