Richard Clarke just note there have been 528 suicide bombers in Iraq |
|
since we got there! Nearly all are 'foreign' mostly Saudi fighters. I hadn't realised the number was so high.
Isn't interesting how we get so excited when one happens in say England, but it doesn't even register with most people that it happens every day in Iraq?

5. Think you mean "on the earth". We are mainly fucking up the surface |

and those that dwell there, including Iraqis and Londoners!
Although we sure are trying to suck the oil out from below at a record pace!

7. Don't paint me with that broad brushstroke |
|
typical lame-ass assumption that liberals are part of the 'hate America' crowd. I love my country, but this government was wrong to go into Iraq. Don't you agree?

8. Since there is no cause and effect, we can assume 528 suicide attacks |
|
would have occurred in Iraq since the time of invasion had there been no invasion and occupation, to wit: surely none of this lies at the feet of those who invaded and occupied.

10. i saw al franken's show on sundance last night |
|
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 12:45 PM by ellenfl
one of his guests was mia bloom who is a professor at a midwestern college, a middle east terrorist expert and a consultant for homeland security in nj. she has just written a book about suicide bombers. she said that 60-70 percent of the iraq insurgents are saudi. i think she said 10% are iraqi. saudi arabia does nothing about this because they'd rather have saudi terrorists fighting 'over there' than in their own country (sound familiar?).
if you get a chance to hear or see her interview, i would recommend it. she was very credible.
btw, rc is on frankel tonight on sundance.
