    The Israeli's are saints compared to how the American's treated those who they found in their path in the 19th century.

    If the Israeli's utterly slaughtered everyone in the West Bank and Gaza, except for the residents of Gaza City, and then generously let them live in a small scrubby part of the Negev, all the time telling them about the greatness of our generosity, that would be a more apt comparison.

    Default i didnt say...

    that ALL of us didnt have shameful act in our path. Im just saying that america THINKS they are the 'world police' and try justifying invading countries(IRAQ) to hold them accountable for things 15 years ago (saddam using gas) it is time someone holds the u.s. accountable for the atrocities it caused 450 years ago using biological weaponry (small pox in blankets). It just seems as though the americans THINK they are better than any other people in the world.That is half the reason that other countries dont even want americans to tour there anymore.Im not here to tell you all what you already know though.Just remember, my people have been fighting terrorism since 1492- when we were invaded and attacked for NO REASON. Thats different than the 9-11 when this country was attacked for problems in DID BRING UPON ITSELF.Anyways this is the last i will post in here because the more i try to explain it seems the more it confuses so many americans.People on other sites asked my opinion THEN threatened to call DHS-why ask for an opinion if you cant handle it?Freedom of speech? What a joke!!
    Ive erased my past posts here because youve all copied them anyway.

    He was indicted today.

    Obama is said to be furious because this boy was allowed to slip through the cracks and be allowed to get on the plane, even though his dad had tried to give the gov't a heads-up that his son was an extremist and that he might be plotting something deadly.

    Also, this boy never cracked a smile at all! In his pitures that I posted on Page 1, he had a chilling cold stare like the lead hijacker, Mohammad Atta always did before the 09-11 terror attacks.

    Rudy Giuliani proves himself to be a shameless liar of the first order on Larry King, where when discussing Obama's initial response to the Nigerian Panty Bomber claims that the prior similar situation involving Richard Reid Shoe Bomber was different because it took place prior to September 11, 2001 -- when in truth Reid attempted to blow up the plane on December 22, 2001:

    Transcript from The Larry King Show:


    GIULIANI: The president of the United States, when there is a potential massive attack on this country, which is what this guy was going to do, should have been on top of this immediately, not 10 days later, 11 days later, 12 days later.

    We should have had our response ready. After all, this is not an unexpected act. We are in the age of terrorism. We don't need 10 days to respond or figure out our response. All that does, I believe, is convince our enemies that we are not ready, that we are pondering too much and thinking too much. So, you know, there is -- you want to take some time. But this has been an extraordinarily long time given the magnitude of this kind of attack.

    KING: President Bush took six days once in a similar incident.

    GIULIANI: Well, six days is less than 10. And the reality is that President Bush was criticized for taking -- what was it, like 20 or 30 minutes in delaying his response to September 11th. And I believe that six days was before the September 11th attack.

    Rudy Lies Again:

    Rudy Giuliani: "We Had No Domestic Attacks Under Bush; We've Had One Under Obama."

    ABC News January 8, 2010

    And George Stephanopoulos didn't even challenge him on the false assertion until after the broadcast, and then only in print.
