Hey... what can you do? Interesting read though.
-
yea one of those things were the kindess that goes around actually doesnt come back to you the way you gave it
-
Things like that tend to come back and haunt you I suppose.
-
Interesting.
Makes me wonder how small and cruel our world actually is.

Hmmm yeah that is interesting...
makes u think if he believed him... and did kill him earlier... It might have saved many lives.

If there\'s one politician I hate more than Lieberman it\'s Gore and I\'ve seen that transcript before.
-
I believe that\'s a myth. I think I saw North on a TV show say that he did not mention Bin Laden\'s name. I \'ll check and see. I could be wrong.
