Obama is negelecting America. Period! He doesn’t care about the country or the Americans and LEGAL immigrants who live here.

We have plague in this country right now and it isn’t N1H1. They go by Obama, Pelosi and Reid. Oh, and let’s throw in Schumer for good measure.

“The plague killed a large chunk of Europe in the 13th century because they didn’t have antibiotics back then.”

And making a drug resistent strain is not only plausible its actually dead easy if you have the mind to do it. The incorrect assumption is that AQ is only working in caves in Pakistan… a very poor assumption to make, underestimating your enemy that way. Many of the people we are fighting are intelligent and educated.

Actually myth buster: has made an excellant point.
Bio-weapons are extremely difficult to handle without contaminating the surroundings and then there is the problem of the infection being inadvertantly introduced into their societies by modern air-transport…..societies with primitive hygene and medical infrastructure.
If such weapons were weaponized by primitive clandestine hot labs in Waziristan the likely prospect is for a major pandemic in Pakistan/Afghanistan.
They would literally be hoisted on their own petard.

5. I’d find that really hilarious. Why? Because the only people the terrorists would manage to kill with the plague would be themselves. The plague killed a large chunk of Europe in the 13th century because they didn’t have antibiotics back then.

OK, Senõr Benwah, I’ll be happy to prove that, just as soon as you prove the first matter at issue . . . that the Katie Couric interview where Palin said she reads “all” of the newspapers and magazine was falsely edited.

Here’s a little something to help you focus:

Happy hunting.

Not at all, gNAT. You need to prove that Obama knows how many states there are, because by voting for him for POTUS you indicated he was qualified, which happens to have turned out to be untrue. He is on record and video as saying there are 57, an error of 14%, if I am not mistaken. I haven’t heard him correct that, have I? Perhaps he has his eye on portions of Canada and Mexico, who knows.

Odd, I wasn’t talking about Obama. I was referring to Palin’s comical tour de dunce with Katie Couric, and how it was edited unfairly. Perhaps you have a thought or even some proof about that. Until then I’m quite confident Obama knows how many states there are. Goy, don’t you have some lecture material on straw men available or maybe a “moral adolescent” link you could provide Señor Beloit?

Moho at #7: “Here’s another thing they’re wasting money on–Cancer Research! We all know that it kills people.”

Before the socialized medicine threat hung over us, there was a profit motive for companies researching new drugs. While the new sickcare looms, it may not pay private researchers to spend trying to find new cancer cures; the government will have to do it and then the death panels will refuse to administer the cures to those who need it most. What a great Utopia it will be!
