History will record that the most pathetic figures of the current era were those propagandized, "proud" Americans who never mustered one iota of critical thought -- who placed yellow ribbons on their SUVs and bought jingoistic Toby Keith CDs -- and couldn't see that by helping US neocons try to steal oil from beneath Iraqi sand, they were unwittingly stabbing their nation right in its heart.

Thanks to their blind support for madness that should have been nipped in the bud, Osama bin Laden's fondest dream is coming true.

He wants to break the American military, bankrupt the USA, pour its sons and daughters into a perpetual meat grinder, eviscerate our nation's global standing, and give Islamic terrorists abundant basis for telling the Muslim masses: "See, the infidels will settle for nothing less than conquest. Join us in jihad to preserve our culture and faith."

Imagine what it would be like to have as a president someone who was actually right the first time!
