Cheney warns of new attacks

Come after us, pursue us with criminal prosecution, and we will make 9/11 look like a church picnic.

Cheney and others who were previously in power (like Clinton) remind me of the 45 year old fat guys who constantly talk about the time in high school they ran that one great touchdown play or hit that half court shot. Nobody want's to lose power or be out of the spotlight. Simple human behavior.

Wrong. You think Bush has made the muslims angrier? How the heck to do get them angrier when they are already maxed out? You do know they first attacked us in 1993 under bill clinton yes?

Its their religion, they are told to attack and kill non-muslims or convert them. Do all of them follow this, no, but a good amount of them believe in it. We are told that there are only about 3-4% that would attack us. Well, thats about 7-9 million people when you do the math.

AMEN

Once you start killing peoples children and babies ( - accidentaly of corse )

thats when you create new enemies...

I don't agree with your assertion. It has been documented that many Muslims who had never though of joining the jihad became motivated to take up arms when we started bombing Iraq...and torturing prisoners in Abu Gharib..and in Gitmo..and other secret prisons.

I am sure the Quaran does not tell them to kill non muslims. You can see that here. In fact, the Quaran is very tolerent of Jews and Christians since they are Abrahamic faiths, like Islam.
There are extremists in almost every religion including Christianity. In Christian history, there have been wars fought and justified by obscure pasages in the Bible (ie the Crusades).

In my opinion, these people's faith is only being used as a way to manipulate them to obtain a political goal. To me, terrorism is a tactic. It is not an ideology. Which is why Bin Laden wasn't willing to strap a bomb to his back. Just as GW & Co invoked the Christian faith to gain support of his followers. They helped perpetuate the 'holy war', manipulating Christians to believe that what he was doing was "god's will".

And it worked, because there are folks who still think all Muslims are religiously obligated to kill all non Muslim Americans. Trust me, there are enough of them in the world that if that statement were true, it would have already been done.

its bologna,

I swear I have a friend who supported Bush because he was "Christian." Nevermind the mess he made. Besides, I don't know that Bush really is a Christian. I'm not so sure he fully believes in god. Correct me, please, if I'm wrong.

My friend sees, "Christian" and so "everything" Bush does is ok. At least that's the way it looks to me. I think maybe Bush played the Christian card to look good to Christian people. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

This isn't Christian bashing, but it shows that some people don't know who some of their actual friends are. They look for certain "trigger words" to let them know someone is ok. They are sort of wearing "beer goggles" when it comes to certain people.

This is an exaggeration, but I could be standing at his door with a bloody axe, looking at his kids, but as long as I was holding a bible, and said I was a devoted Christian, "Well, come on in."

I guess I'm off topic, but I saw something in your post that related to this.
