I agree in their right to ask for settlement, I just don't think they necessarily should be winning any large lottery settlment. Again, while I've heard that they pared back the bill from the original offering, so that it actually gets things done and doesn't line too many pockets, I haven't seen the bill as amended.

If that smiling peanut farmer hadn't started the whole issue by funding Bin Laden's guys, or if Clinton would have taken Osama out after the Cole bombing or the embassy bombing, we wouldn't be talking about this mess either.

So in your vien of thought, going back to the beginning, and who is to blame, every president beginning with Jimmy Carter played a role in 9/11. I figured you implicating Bush took care of dad and son, and Reagan played a significant part too. I didn't find information going back further than that, but I am completely willing to throw Nixon and Ford under the bus if they shared some blame as well. LBJ and JFK are open targets for me as well.

I don't understand why you insist on only highlighting the failure of republicans when there is equal or larger blame to be shouldered by democrats. I must be that your loyalty to a single partyy clouds your judgement. Me, I think they are all assholes, not worthy of my trust or admiration.
