DID THE PRESIDENT HARBOR TERRORISTS?

The next time you hear the phrase "war on terrorism," just add the word 
"some" to help remind yourself of the hypocritical policies of our elected 
officials.

In only one example regarding our "friends" in Saudi Arabia, it appears 
that country's government has become the Ed McMahon of Palestine, sending 
big fat checks to the families of suicide bombers.

President Bush says the people who harbor terrorists are just as bad as the 
terrorists themselves.

So, if Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah and his entourage just spent a 
few days hanging out at Dubya's Texas ranch, is he not harboring terrorists?

It's not a "war on terrorism" anymore than it is a "war on drugs." It's a 
"war on some terrorism." It's a war where illegal immigrants employed by 
U.S. airports search ladies' purses and shoes. It's a war where countries 
whose people call for the enslavement of Jewish women are invited for a 
steak dinner with the president.
