Seems to me that when Clinton bombed the afghanistan bases he was accused of "wag the dog" scenarios to distract the public by the republicans.... Now since republicans attacked the first attempt to hit the taliban lets apply your logic...

A terrorist action is retaliated against, one by the al-queda, a democrat takes action, the right wing schills (if I remember you and ed were among them) attack that action as a "distraction" from scandals...

Gee, Tom, I think that makes those 'radical protesters' ummm TRAITORS! Right Tom?

as the election approaches, you get more and more irrational- well if you want to get irrational, well you can have your Pi but you damn well better eat it too!
