State Of The Nation Spreadsheet

Newsweek, July 2-9, 2007, issue: "Even today, more than four years into the war in Iraq, as many as four in 10 Americans (41 percent) still believe Saddam Hussein’s regime was directly involved in financing, planning or carrying out the terrorist attacks on 9/11, even though no evidence has surfaced to support a connection. A majority of Americans were similarly unable to pick Saudi Arabia in a multiple-choice question about the country where most of the 9/11 hijackers were born. Just 43 percent got it right—and a full 20 percent thought most came from Iraq."

The Bush administration gave Osama bin Laden everything he wanted for Christmas after 911, including the US taking its military out of Sadi Arabia, a weakened pitiful giant pinned down and wearing out in the Iraqi desert, the US alienated and from tis allies, and a country moving towards less freedom because, "they hate us for our freedoms". Why are we working towards that goal? Isn't less freedom their goal?

Meanwhile, the Bush administration pays Pakistan billions of dollars a year to protect Osama and his pals while they plan their next attack. If the next set of attackers are from New Zealand, count on Bush to attack Norway.
