Yes, I suppose it could be, and, the moment they invade Poland, it probably will be.

I guess that was an attempt at humor. However, it rings pretty hollow since "they" are interested inn attacking the US, not Poland.
They were after us before 9-11 (the first WTC bombing, USS Cole), they hit us hard on 9-11, and efforts to stage attacks on US interests have continued regularly since 9-11.
Just in case you forgot...

First Rush, NOW BILL MAHER, While Bill Maher has been a misogynistic Pig for years, it seems that because he's a Democrat, it's been acceptable. But now President Obama has been asked if he would return the money, Bill Maher donated to Obamas Political PAC Fund.
Will Obama Super PAC Return Misogynist Bill Maher's Million-Dollar Donation?
MAHER: Speaking of dumb tw*ts… (shows pic of Bachmann and Palin) it’s not because they have breasts. It’s because they are boobs
OBAMA: I thought about Malia and Sasha, and I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way and I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they are being good citizens.
WORDS ON SCREEN: Shows TV Newser headline “Bill Maher calls Sarah Palin the ‘c-word’ during his stand up act”
MAHER: (shows pic of Bristol Palin) She f*cked Levi over and over again until a baby came out.

Just a few examples of Maher's Filthy Mouth Deisgraceful Statements aboult Women. Maher, The Misogynistic Potty Mouthed Pig .
Yes FOXNEWS, but they are all true.

I am revisiting this post because...this latest Florida situation May hit a mark with the "show business" news networks. NBC has embarassed itself by the latest 911 tape fiasco of an employee. It's untruths in reporting and our eagerness to believe the worst whether it be political or racist... some are ready to swallow (or so it seems) hook...line and sinker anything negative.
its about time all news services...the writers, producers and directors of such... do the honest investigating and reporting that makes NEWS.. news and not a dog and pony show to gather viewers.
The news channels and their talking heads have brought the honorable office of the presidency and running for such... so far down the ladder...I wonder if it will ever recover. Of coarse we are their puppets and use the court of public opinion to make their stance even stronger and their pockets fuller.
When mis-information can turn civilized individuals into hate mongers...it's serious folks. Do you suppose there is a Federal office for such? Perhaps...instead of policing kids school lunches... get real! These same kids are seeing and listening to what is going on.
FIX IT!

Best way to fix it is to not watch then, I watch the local news on a CBS affiliate, then BBC then Newshour. I have not seen FOX, CBS, NBC,or ABC news since we got cable. If enough people stop watching eventually their ratings will get flushed.

I've never been a pacifist.
I joined the Navy to help protect my country, and I'm proud of that fact. This does not mean I'm enough of a tool to go sailing off to war just because some politician broke out Ol' Glory and brass bands. The brain at the top of my spinal cord may not be as powerful as Einsteins, but I'm no dumbass either. I'll leave it to the types to which Einstein was referring to go fight the senseless wars.......

Merrylander...I rarely did either...but after reading the posts here...I wanted to see for myself. AND did I ever!! I summed it up in my former post.
IMO most people scruntinize buying a car more than riding the middle ground... before getting all the facts. But then again...you and I have been around the block a few times.
