Official: No. 2 al-Qaida in Iraq leader arrested

1 down, tens of thousands to go...

Yea but they're running out of those who know how to funnel the cash flow, & have the supply contacts.

You mean the CIA? I thought Bush massively increased their budget in recent years...

Grow up?

History lesson:
Osama Bin Laden was trained and funded by the CIA.
Saddam Hussein was actively supported by the USA and Britain during the Iran-Iraq war.
Israel developed nuclear weapons with US support.


Or are you an American who think that your foreign policy has any purpose other than to serve the US's (current) interests?

And for the record, yes I know that Tony Blair is a complete c*nt. That's why I didn't vote for him. Not sure how that makes the US any less culpable for it's miriad of foreign policy howlers.

Errr, I wasn't trying to blame Bush for anything. Paranoia on your part, perhaps?

My original comment was in response to your statement that "they are running out of people and money" (sic.)

My attempt to be humourous was the suggestion that the CIA organised Al Qaeda and that they are actually increasing in numbers and funds.

It's less funny when you have to explain it.


But if you want to talk about folly, perhaps you can explain where those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were? Or why the "democracy" you've given the country looks to me rather like civil war?
Or why the US deposed the evil Taleban government in Afghanistan to replace it with, er, warlords, drugs barons and - guess what - Taleban guerillas.
In the meantime, North Korea happily tests it missiles and threatens it's neighbours with barely a raised eyebrow from good ol' Dubya.

How do you intend to absolve Bush of those little bloopers?

...*enters, enormous erection throbbing*...

Naaa... I'll wait for it to come on cable...Last movie I actually went to see was Skeleton Key....Me like *spooky* scarys. 8)

No cable. I get my movies for free from the public library.

Say if I make "backup" copies of movies from the public library.......

OOps..I lied... I went to see The Davinci Code....Tried to forget... I gotta remember not to watch movies when I already read the book....

Wasn't the book bad enough for you? You had to go and see the movie as well? 8O

Lab, I think you need to get help for your self-harm tendencies!
