Convenient fraud
A new video has surfaced on the eve of the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack. Call me skeptical and cynical, but I think it’s more than coincidence whenever the Bush Administration has some agenda to promote that Osama bin Laden appears out of almost nowhere.
Powerful
I owe Paula for this video clip. It’s powerful and needs no further introduction. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvPjdEOKsVY]
