What about <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dc_sniper" REL="nofollow">the Beltway Snipers in 2002?</A> Random killings designed to spread chaos, plans to bomb a cop's funeral, plans to recruit other youths to spread the sniping rampage in the name of Islamic Jihad...sounds like terror attacks in the homeland to me. Even grading on this pathetic curve, Bush only passes if you spot him two whole series of homeland attacks, including one series with a biological weapon.Shygetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587529149916263563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-82277968440373375752009-01-05T18:56:00.000-08:002009-01-05T18:56:00.000-08:00That reminds me of something...That reminds me of <A HREF="http://despair.com/mis24x30prin.html" REL="nofollow">something</A>...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-7205534774197172212009-01-05T17:03:00.000-08:002009-01-05T17:03:00.000-08:00Exactly right, Kai.
