What fantastic insight...the last time the USA was going to try one of these f*ckers 'before the world' was on the morning of September 11th 2001 and that day passed off quietly, didn't it? Oh, or was that the reason why commissions have been started in the first place? I'm sure the military experts that are amongst us (armchair, barstool or otherwise) could expound at length on how this war is different to conventional ones and if Al Qaeda want a dirty war, we're the ones who can give it to them.

If the footage is anything to go by, these 'brave warriors' (according to Bill Maher anyway) can kill civillians 'en masse' but when the Navy Seals and the SAS show up at the party their deep, fundamentalist response is to run and run and run a bit more...
   
Welcome to the crazy world of Arthur Brown... not only have the government started a war against opression and anti-femminism that the far left seem to be running away from, they're also putting measures in place that will protect the majority from anymore 9/11's. What an evil regime, remind me again how Gore could have been any more effective? (Aside from stinger missiles on an asprin factory)

Maybe we can use this board for a new thread '10 Ways I Had To Change My Life Because Of The War On Terrorism', the only proviso is that you have to put down solid changes and not ones you think *might* happen because of the latest piece of declassified docets you'd written off for in your spare time.

Then we ought to pass all the lists to a good constitutional lawyer and he can build up a whole case that will prove if certain bedwetters were right all along or whether this whole talk of what is or isn't 'constitutional' is just the lowest kind of snide partisanship under the flimsy guise of 'the common good'. If said partisanship was proven, then the rest of the world could be able to use the term 'Unamerican' without any fear of character attack from those extremists who don't give a sh** about the rest of the world just as long as they can feel cosy in the knowledge their 'rights' aren't impeded in any way...regardless of the common good.
