Then they show Hastert saying the Dems are coddling terrorists.

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - just so long I'm the dictator." December 18, 2000

2. It's an important victory for Osama bin Laden

Further lowers our reputation in the world, completely losing any sort of moral high ground we had last century.

Erodes the rights of our citizens in order to "protect our freedom."

[AX10]

3. Exactly!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. A great victory for our troops, too,

:sarcasm: who now have even less protection against being abused if captured. Great. Just fucking great.

[Disturbed]

6. Next up: A modern version of the Alien Sedition Act.

This was voted in by Congress before WW1.

5. With apologies to Gen Westmoreland:

"We had to destroy our freedom in order to save it"

[Jack Rabbit]

8. Westmoreland did not say that

From Douglas Herman:

We had to destroy the village to save it

Attributed to many different people, including war correspondent Peter Arnett who supposedly attributed the quote to an unidentified Army officer. Used circa 1968, perhaps during the bloody Tet offensive. Some people believe the phrase applies to the massacre at My Lai , where approximately 500 unarmed villagers were murdered by rampaging US troops. Army Lt. William Calley was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment but served only three years before being pardoned by President Richard Nixon. Tim Larimer of Time magazine returned to My Lai 30 years later and said, “ My Lai ’s place in American history is firmly entrenched, as a disturbing wake-up call that the US military could be as guilty of inhumane acts as any army.” A Vietnamese war veteran who returned to the village to find his entire family murdered and then hastily buried, remarked, “There were many My Lais.” Recently the Toledo Blade corroborated his remark, uncovering other atrocities and war crimes in Vietnam.
