terrorized first. It is like a badge of honor for some to weep in fear.....in America...WTF is wrong with this picture?

Why the free advertising for terror in America? Why the free publicity for recruitment?

Terror sells advertising space, cute puppies and random acts of kindness don't. Sad but true.

If we're not afraid we might spend the money on something else.

When are they going to change the lyrics to that song?

I am afraid that the only people who would see our national panic as "brave" would be the old man and his houseboy. (McCain and Graham)

9. Saudi Arabia is the "Beheading Capitol of the World."

They sometimes crucify the bodies of the dead after beheading. Oh, but their our allies in the war on terror. Dubya walked amongst the Texas Bluebonnets, smooching and holding hands with the Crown Prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. The cognitive dissonance boggles.

17. To their "credit" they only behead "their" people...

It's the law of "their" recognized country...

To my knowledge, they never beheaded "western" journalists, aid workers, or taxi drivers... (yet).

...because our MIC war machine/jobs program, which is current outputting to the US, with its selling of military vehicles to everyone from the police force to the mall cop, is salivating at the inevitable ramp-up required to put boots on the group. Also, members of congress can also pork up the legislation needed to appropriate the funds for the ramp up. It is a win-win...for everyone but the American people.

Every time the money runs out, repeat the mayhem that's worked before, then watch the fear and outrage work their treasury emptying magic.

It restored my faith that there is SANITY somewhere. Will Twiddledee and Twiddledum in D.C. and their minions get the message-hell no.
