Quaker in a Basement – apparently you missed the “plain truth” before you went ahead and restated it.

The difficulty here is all yours.

BTW Bill, it isn’t Al Qaeda that did that, it is Al Qaeda in Iraq. Different organization. OBL’s Al Qaeda doesn’t exist to any degree in Iraq.

Remember OBL? The person behind the murder of 3,000 Americans that your president “doesn’t spend much time thinking about”?

Is this a hard concept for liberals to understand?

No, not hard at all. Why is it so difficult for conservatives to tell the plain truth about it? Fred sez it was the smoking ban that upset everyone. He forgets that the penalty for violating the ban was amputation!

Wouldn’t that have made a much better story? “Iraqis turn against al Qaeda for threatening amputations!”

But Fred wanted it to be all about tobacco. Wonder why.

Iraqis like to smoke. Al Qaeda was threatening finger amputation for those who smoke. Iraqis revolted.

Is this a hard concept for liberals to understand?

Good link, Bill.

So was it the ban on smoking the Iraqis didn’t like or getting their fingers cut off?!?

What Fred said about smoking and Al Qaeda happens to be true. Among the media reporting it: Embedded blogger Michael Yon, and the Washington Post. See this link for details. http://www.elephantbiz.com/2007/09/whats_fred_smoking_1.html

Well it’s obvious, isn’t it?

What Fred is saying is that all those anti-smoking zealots are just like terrorists!
