Wolfowitz finances Bin Laden

That caught your attention, didn't it?

Actually, this will happen if Wolfowitz does becomes president of the World Bank, which is financing the construction of a new passenger lounge at Sharm Al Sheikh airport. The company that won the contract for the project is none other than the Saudi Binladen Group, owned by Osama's family (which has condemned him strongly, it must be said.)

The world works in interesting ways...

As an overweight ,white, working class, non-arab American I can assure you that millions of us consider Bush and his neo-cons and outrage. Bush is a man with no personal courage, but will send young men to die, but you know that.
There hippocracy is beyond the pale. If Iran has nuclear arms the are a threat to world peace. If Isreal has nuclear arms (which they do) it's for nuclear deterance. The neo-cons strategy, like many oppressive regimes and totaliarian states, is simple, divide and conquer.

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a
light bulb?

A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are
improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a
delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served
honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do
you hate freedom?
