Instead of listening for divine intervention, all should have been listening to the intelligence reports which told all of us of that Osama bin Laden was coming after us.  Speaking of Osama bin Laden, while Senator McCain said he would chase him to the gates of hell.  Where was the collective voice of all ten candidates calling President Bush a failure in his failure of capturing the mastermind of September 11th?  Wasn’t it that attack that led us down this road in the first place?  Former Gov. Mitt Romney said of Osama bin Laden, "It's more than Osama bin Laden. But he is going to pay and he will die." To, Gov. Romney, try telling that to the 3,000 plus victims who died on September 11th, that it’s more than Osama bin Laden.  You may wish to remind President Bush of his promise to capture this terrorist when he said he would capture him “Dead or alive.”

 

Speaking of terrorism, two terrorists responsible for the 1993 attacks on the World Trade Center whose names are Ramzi Yousef and Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman are currently spending life in prison.  They are housed at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

 

When the Oklahoma City bombing took place two domestic terrorists were captured, tried and convicted.  One was Timothy McVeigh who suffered the ultimate punishment, the death penalty and Terry Nichols received a life sentence. He is currently housed at Supermax in Florence, Colorado.
