...kind of like how you say, if someone from the US contacts al qaeda, we should know about it.
If someone poses as a threat in times of danger...or "war", we need to act upon it.
I someone flies an iraqi painted plane over a no fly zone in the US, we are going to shoot the shit out of it...in fact, it wouldn't even make it far enough to reach our fly zone skies, and it would be shot down over the ocean and no one would even hear about it.
It was a plan to provoke an individual that was already intimidated by an individual/individuals that disagree with him.
Tony Blair and George Bush knew what would happen, and they basically poked the stick at the slow kid, knowing that he's gonna rebutle. They took advantage of something that should never have even been an issue...was it just convenient? We were just...well...in the area? "Hey, I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd just drop a visit!"....
This was never the intent of finding osama...and please explain how this became justifiable...and please don't use Fox news jargon...or whatever propaganda they are puking out
