What undermines my support for the war in Iraq ?? the cost in money, lives and the little prospect of anything good ever coming out of it. Pick your reason why we're over there, I think the last one was to 'spread democracy'. Personally I feel it's a madhouse over there, and the second we are gone from there, someone else will try to take over.
God bless our troops, and I pray for their safe return.

whatever excuse works best for you, Rummy. A good portion of this debacle rests with you, so wherever you feel you can deflect blame, go right ahead. Those of us that aren't blind to the current administration's inadequacies will see right through it.

Of course I'm sure Fox News doesn't fall into the terrorist's trap...

Unfortunately the media has many viewers that seem to love to lap up all the bad news. Stories about terrorists, hurricanes, car wrecks, and the war seem to fuel the beast. The constant intimidation that the consumption of this kind of news causes is great for the drug companies and likely the administrations agenda to keep us paranoid, but it is brutal on the mind.

Don't blame the media for covering a story. Blame those of us that watch, listen, and read the propaganda that Washington wants us to consume. I know she was a cute little girl, but is there any one out there wishes Jon Bennet would just go away?

To stay healthy, do what I do...Read only the Travel section of The New York Times, listen only to Mozart, and when the desire is just too great to overcome, watch Baywatch reruns.

What passes for news these days just cracks me up. Whether something trivial, and apparently not even correct as far as this Jon Bennet story goes.. or it's going on and on about 'possible' terrorist threats or failed terrorist attempts.. it's almost as if the media is doing the jobs of the terrorist.. if that job is to attempt to disrupt us from our normal lives and put fear in the mind.

Should we go after Bin Laden and the like.. oh absolutely! Couldn't we just send in some special forces, or agents or the like and just take him out. Who says it even has to make the news. He could just disappear.

We can now set our watch as to when the next terrorist threat will occur. Just Watch...Next time a poll comes out showing how many House and Senate seats that the Republicans are likely to lose in November, Check the news the next morning.

"And in the latest election news, Democrats will be retaking the House and possibly the Senate next year...Wait, Wait...This just in.... Bin Laden, wearing a bad Elvis costume, has been caught at Heathrow with a gallon of baby formula trying to board a plane to America!"
