Damn, and Bowa promised us Bush had all but won the war on terrorism.
I guess when he said terrorists were on the run, he meant they were as fast as 4x4s.
I'm beginning to doubt that RudiG will win the Presidency like Bowa said he would.

I think he means for the US, not the rest of the world.

FU Northguy, what an ass. You blame terrorists in Africa on Bush? What's next for your blame game. Your obsete??

Maybe you can appease them with kind words?

" Five suspects were detained by Mauritanian intelligence over the murders of a French family of four on Dec. 24 and three soldiers. DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources report that the suspects told interrogators in Nouakchott that Al Qaeda's next target in the series was to be the Dakar Rally.

The jihadist group, they said, had deployed terrorist teams in a wide net across the Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal, poised to kill rally participants and take hostages. Eight of the rally's stages transit Mauritania.......In 2004, several stages of the Dakar Rally were called off because of terror threats in Mali - but never has al Qaeda succeeded in forcing the cancellation of an entire major sporting event. According to our counter-terror sources, al Qaeda's No. 2, Ayman Zawahiri, who directs the movement's Maghreb branch, is responsible for this "success." It has aroused fears in international sporting circles that al Qaeda, having flexed its muscles in Africa, will now try and force the cancellation of the 2008 Beijing Olympics by intimidation."

Tell me oh northguy, where do you see any US fingers in this? It's agenda driven fools like you that make the drudge so preposturous.

yeah right typical dr left response

good comeback.

Your just being facetious!

Dave-do the math, or have your mom do it for you-6 plus years since 9-11. You do remember 9-11 don't you? Al queda. New York, the whole war on terror thing?

Where's Osama? Iraq? No, but that's where Bush is.

Debkafile? When the "F" has that Zionist rag been right about anything?

So they attack a French soldiers and threaten a frecnh motor rally, and you scream Bush? Get a life you loser

Well, to be fair, Bush did call it a 'Global War on Terrrrrr' numerous times.

YEAH!

And said he made "The World Safer"!

Anyway, I don't buy this story ---- The saudis love motor sports!

"FU Northguy, what an ass. You blame terrorists in Africa on Bush?"

YEAH you dolt!


That's Clintons Fault!

"It's agenda driven fools like you that make the drudge so preposturous."

Gee, if I thought a site was "preposterous" I doubt that I would post there, but hey, that's just me. If it is, as you say, preposerous, then you are too because I see your posts here pretty (too) often.

Your obsete??

Apparently treating them with harsh words and then ignoring them a la our current Failure-in-Chief isn't doing too much. Maybe he needs to hold their bankers' hands more, or sell them some more ports, or maybe just give their landlord another 10 billion and another squadron of F-16s.
That oughta smoke em out dead or alive!

Of course, we can all remember the nazis stopping the 1951 Monte Carlo Rally cause Truman failed to defeat them.

So we no longer have to fight them in the pits over there so we don't have to fight them in the pits over here? Jeff Gordon will be so relieved.

nor, Have you or anyone in the US been attack in the last 6 years? I guess the war on terror is not working for you if something happens in Africa. I'm sure that the junior senators from NY or IL will do a much better job with the war on terror.

I liked my original title.....

"Terrorist cancel rally"....

Oh well...

The Dakar rally is one of the most brutal in the world. It has a history of competitors being mugged enroute.
For them to cancel it means it must be pretty negative situation.

RE: Jeff Gordon, heres a great video of Jeff in a rally car that rolls, Jeffs comments are classic....

www.youtube.com

Other than ruining someone else's good time, did the terrorist indicate any purpose behind their threats?

"nor, Have you or anyone in the US been attack in the last 6 years? I guess the war on terror is not working for you if something happens in Africa."

Sounds like Sniper just surrendered in the GWOT.

But I do have to agree with him-Clinton's record fighting terrorism is incredibly better than Bush's , both as far as number of attack-free days and casualties.
As the Fighty Rightys have sunk the success bar so low in order to claim any semblance of non-failure for Bush, I'm guessing we'll never see the words Cole, Khobar or Somolia used in reference to Clinton again.
