Posting Arbitrarily
March 15th, 2007KSM is one of the more interesting terrorists to read about because he’s so good at evil. He, apparently, confessed yesterday to masterminding many plots
I’d recommend you all read about him and his terrible deeds to get a better look at al-Qaeda. I’ve been reading about him since I first learned about him in Richard Clarke’s book.
Briefly, let’s look at a couple of other stories that I found interesting. Barack Obama, who is very low on my candidate list, shows exactly why here, and I would call him Phony of the Month. If I had to practice a practice as stupid and arbitrary as “lying about who I really am.”
Speaking at the 42nd commemoration of the “Bloody Sunday” confrontation over voting rights in Selma, Ala., the Illinois Democrat energized a church crowd by linking the event to his birth. “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama,” he preached, “because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So [my parents] got together, and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama.”
It was such a spellbinding story that I almost didn’t want to wonder how the 1965 march could have led to the senator’s birth, which happened four years earlier. We might call it a story too good to allow the facts to get in the way were he not a presidential candidate.
In other news, Hillary Clinton says she’ll keep a scaled-down presence in Iraq “to fight Al Qaeda, deter Iranian aggression, protect the Kurds and possibly support the Iraqi military.”
I must say, I agree with such a plan — I’ve said it all along that we should’ve started heavy training of the Iraqis and then pulled out but left a few troops as advisors and deterrents. I’m glad someone else would say and do such a thing.
