October 2001, five Americans are killed inside the United States by “weapons of mass destruction” in what President Bush calls ” second wave of terrorist attacks upon our country.”

“Four Americans have died as a result of these acts of terrorism…The Postal Service and the FBI have offered a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the arrest and the conviction of the anthrax terrorists…We do not yet know who sent the anthrax–whether it was the same terrorists who committed the attacks on September the 11th, or whether it was the–other international or domestic terrorists. We do know that anyone who would try to infect other people with anthrax is guilty of an act of terror…I’m proud of our citizens’ calm and reasoned response to this ongoing terrorist attack.”

Which Google’s search engine interprets as “Don’t return any hits that doesn’t confirm my preconceived notions”

2005: U.S. consulate in Karachi closed because of security concerns.

Also, suicide bombers detonated a string of explosions at tourist hot-spots on the island of Bali, killing 19 and injuring at least 132. “Included in the wounded are 68 Indonesians, 20 Australians, six Koreans, four Americans, four Japanese, with five others unidentified, according to Indonesia’s Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari.”

I’m sure there are plenty of others.

The sad thing is, people believe this bullshit because they want to.

And, as another point – perhaps someone can inform Mr. Buttocksputnik that attacks on our soldiers and civilians in Iraq be counted as, well, attacks?

Since our soldiers are voluntarily taking fire on the orders of neoconmen who avoided military service when it was required by law, it seems at least honorable that soldiers be recognized as being attacked. And not treated, as Kurt Vonnegut put so well, with the disdain of a rich kid’s christmas toys.

What is there to do but shake one’s head and say “For fuck’s fucking sake.”

Who cares if terrorism is up in Iraq and the rest of the world?

The last time I checked, those people weren’t Americans. I’m betting most of them aren’t Christians either. As long as the car bombs aren’t going off here, I could care less.

just .. wow.

I can’t believe Gluteus there even attempts to show his face in public knowing he famously wrote that Bush is “A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius”.

All with Nuclear Fissure warheads!

Wingnuts always want to have it both ways:

1. We haven’t been attacked

and

2. We’re fighting ‘terrorists’ in Iraq and the terrorists are the ones killing US troops..
