2. Peter Bergen just said so on CNN

I say he's right.

[valerief]

3. That means War on Terror money can go to American jobs! nt

[woo me with science]

4. You've got to be kidding.

Expect escalation of terror alerts because of the potential for retaliation. The porno scanners at the airports will be working overtime.

5. That was my first reaction, but Peter Bergen says otherwise. nt

[woo me with science]

6. LOL!

Then it must be true! :rofl:

7. There are too many making to much $ from the "War on Terror" . . .

There is a huge private defense industry that has earned untolled billions from Iraq and Afghanistan. They will work overtime to try to find every reason they possibly can to extend the wars. And unfortunately, they have more clout that any of us.

8. Right, that was the reason for the wars, but maybe they've found a new way

to raid the Treasury. I dunno. Just asking.

9. And can the 9/11 forum go with it?

;)

[uppityperson]

10. No. Just the other bookending of 9/11

[roamer65]

11. No.

There will be tit for tat. That's how this terrorism crap works. Just look at Northern Ireland.
