Some Arab terrorists in Afghan agreed to congregate for a social gathering to share their views, hopes and convictions. While they were at the gathering a series of discussions got heated . . They advanced on their superiors desperate to have their questions answered.
Sir: We have to address some findings we had stumbled upon. America has always had the belief that it is better to die than to lose liberty. Therefore since the great attack at 911, George Bush is much more powerful today than before 911. Sir, the more times we attack, the more times their government will claim powers from them and make the people weaker but Bush stronger.
We beg you to look at what has been happening at our expense. Since 911 George Bush is MUCH stronger! He has been given dictatorial powers. Our lives are being wasted on the battlefield! As the people get weaker, Bush gets stronger and all sympathy for our plight erodes!

The Age of Terror would not be bad if the Terrorists attacked the leaders who cause all the trouble instead of the people! Then those leaders will think twice and not joyride all over the place . . Others figured out the posts. It already started even on this message board.

ONLY if Bush remains in some bunker and stops traveling around, smiling and betraying the American people and the world, will he escape the Muslim extremists if they had any sense and were not themselves being betrayed by Osama and his cronies!
Before Bush we used to laugh at these Muslim extremists when they threatened us. They became celebrities only after Bush came. Now when they speak, we must listen. Still yet, the claim is that these newly converted "bad boys" cannot now attack and catch Bush with a bullet to his brain! That's too much hard work for them! Maybe they're not so hot after all to do so much such an easier thing?

Do you understand what I'm saying? If they even truly knew the lives and religion of their people was being threatened, the Muslim extremists would risk their own lives in order to kill Bush, and Bush will not be traveling without a care in the world looking for dictatorship to be handed to him.

State why the Patriot Act is necessary now, to the ignoring of 99.99% of the history of this country where we never thought we needed to go back to the Inquisitions.

Protected us so well? Do you even read history about other terrorist attacks by Muslims under other previous administrations?
