Three quarters of Al Qaeda key members captured? |
|
Is anyone in the press/media asking for proof of this assertion made in Bush's speech last night?

1. Three quarters of Pre-9/11 Al Qaeda membership |
|
Of course this doesn't include the exploding new membership and assumes that we have an accurate count of the numbers, which we obviously don't. Don't hold your breath for a media analysis of this statement, it's just another one of those phrases that sounds good to the GOP base, but is otherwise meaningless.

3. I know it naive, but I can't believe the press doesn't nail him...... |
|
on statements like that. After all, he's running as the Anti-Terrorist President!

I don't need to give anyone proof. So there.

4. How about an Al Qaeda org chart, dated before 2001? |
|
That way we know that the list wasn't made up at Junior's convenience, to arrest random Arabs and claim them as "Al Qaeda".

5. To get the %, how the hell is Al Qaeda's total membership calculated? |
|
Do they have a membership roster? Online enrollment? Do they take roll call? Where exactly are they? Who are they?
Oh, that's right -- they're the perfect Orwellian boogeyman -- here, there, everywhere...the "TERR-ISTS!" :scared:
What horseshit.
