The Mushroom Cloud

It doesn't matter that the president suggests he has evidence of communiqués between terrorists. This is the same man who used faulty intelligence to suggest there was WMD in Iraq. So, the mushroom cloud is no longer a threat of atomic weapons detonation, but the fuzzy realization that anything the W, Rove and Co presents is manufactured for political gain, and in fact may be completely and wholly fabricated out of cheep cloth brought from the Chinese at 1/2 cent per yard (at the expense of American Jobs and the wholesale foreclosure on our children's future in the form of an astronomical National Debt).

Recently, the world learned of a letter written by al Qaeda number two leader, a man named Zawahiri. He wrote this letter to his chief deputy in Iraq, the terrorist Zarqawi. In it, Zawahiri points to the Vietnam War as a model for al Qaeda. He writes, "The aftermath of the collapse of American power in Vietnam and how they ran and left their agents is noteworthy."

The terrorists witnessed our response after the attacks of American -- on American troops in Beirut in 1983, and Mogadishu in 1993. They concluded that America can be made to run again, only this time on a larger scale, with greater consequences. The terrorists are mistaken; America will never run. We will stand and fight, and we will win the war on terror. (Applause.) The terrorists state their plans. They want to use the vacuum that would be created by an American retreat to gain control of a country, to build a base from which to launch attacks on America and to conduct their war against non-radical Muslim governments.

This would be an interesting finding to share if we could believe him. Do you? Incidentially, Murtha surved in Vietnam - volunteered -Did W? Where was W, anyway? Did we get closure on that issue?
