"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.




then ask the average american if they still want to be in afghanistan. who are we hunting down now?

when did the "left-wingers" get so bloodthirsty?
Bush and his cronies got it all wrong?

The disastrous Bush tax cuts for the rich were set to expire. Knowing what a disaster it was and trying to get the deficit back in order, Obama presented to restore the tax rates to those making over $250,000 a year, the GOP refused. The democrats countered with a bill that would restore the tax rates to those making $1,000,000 a year or more, the GOP still shot it down, even though over 70% of the american people agreed with the plan.
In the end the GOP held the nation hostage to force through their 858 billion in new spending bill to keep the rich happy.

The nation's credit was to be downgraded unless the nation brought 4 trillion in cuts. Obama brought that to the table, which included big slashes to medicare, social security and other plans the GOP had been calling for. Obama got holy hell from the democrats from it, but said it was absolutely necessary to keep our credit rating, and to pay down the debt. Obama asked the GOP to only pitch in 1 trillion of that. A 75/25 dem to republican split and the GOP still refused!
And because of the GOP's refusal to cut a single penny of their insane spending, the nation's credit was downgraded.

The GOP has made it quite clear they:
Will not compromise no matter what
Their way or no way
Will destroy the country, freedom, and everything else as all that matters is to keep their corporate cronies happy
They do not give a damn what the american people want, only what their masters want.
Hold on a second homer....are you expecting us to swallow this BS? You DO recall that the reason there was such a HUGE deficit was because of the forst 2 years of the obama administration when he and the dems controlled BOTH houses of congress? And you DO remember that obama said that the republicans would be taking a BACK SEAT when it comes to government?? And now suddeenly it is the REPUBLICANS fault that we got a credit downgrade??

Are you REALLY this delusional naturally or do you really have to work at it?

I guess he did, since he said this in 2002 after he lost sight of Bin Laden.

It is well known that the extreme right does not give a damn in the slightest about facts, and could care less when it is presented to them over and over that their beloved GOP does nothing but send the nation into complete destruction.
The dems did NOT have complete, filibuster proof control for 2 years.
Second, the economy was in a massive tailspin caused by Bush and the GOP's insane spending from the give a ways to the rich and false war in Iraq. If it wasn't for them and we stuck to Clinton's wildly successful fiscal plan, we likely would be close to being debt free by now.

The S&P themselves said the credit downgrade was because of the republican and tea party's refusal to cut a dime of their spending. Though like mentioned before, the brainwashed right doesn't gave a damn about facts.

But, it would also be great to provide the time line on these quotes you are providing, were they before or after?

Do you not understand what not having complete, filibuster-proof control means?

Secondly, because the entire thing was theatrical BS ... the phony group assembled in the war room, allegedly watching things unfold live in real time ... Billary gasping at the horror ... all of it as phony as that dollar bill in your pocket ... as it is later discovered, there were no live video feeds. It was a totally staged photo op .. and a fraud, which sums up this president and his administration, perfectly.

Thirdly .. the bogus burial at Sea ... talk about OBVIOUS. The questionable killing of Bin Laden (which many claim died 10 years ago) hunted down like a dog, and put down by the "Great One" in his spare time between leaping tall buildings in a single bound ... with a tiny bit of assistance from Seal Team 6.

Fourthly, in what can only be the most dubious of extraordinary coincidences ... the alleged Seal Team responsible for the alleged killing of Bin Laden unfortunately all die in an apparent bomb explosion on a chopper heading toward some "training" mission.

So, in summary, we have a story .. some might say a rather tall story of assassinating a 10 year old corpse ... no body to actual prove it was Bin Laden (that was dumped at sea) .. and we have no live witnesses because they all died in a mysterious bomb aboard a military chopper.

Hurray the Great One ... Lord Obama ... the extraordinary combination of Superman, Batman and Captain America, all rolled into one remarkable leader of the land of the deceived and home of the depraved.
