Can you tell? Cluster Bomb or Food Ration?
The brave and radical black congressional caucus strikes again.. Rep Cynthia McKinney showed the House a cluster bomb and a food ration dropped by U.S. planes on Afghanistan. Can you tell the difference? Another sick scam by Herr Rumsfeld?

You may remember Cynthia McKinney from when she introduced evidence of COINTELPRO at the World Conference Against Racism, as the U.S. government was withdrawing from the conference. See:

I've lived in Afghanistan long enough to know not to pick anything up off the ground that is metal and looks like a freakin' landmine.
Besides, I let the Taliban pick up the food packets for me, because they much prefer that I purchase it from them directly for a fee-- so no danger to me!
However, if the FBI were to acknowlege to the world that terrorists were in fact hiding in Marin as our "GUESTS", and that they would do nothing to bring them to justice-- then I most certainly would advocate bombing terrorist targets in Marin.
NEXT!
If the Taliban had handed Bin Laden over, we wouldn't be there bombing, and they very likely would have gotten a nice little reward package too... Carrot or the stick - not always nice, not always fair - but it's the way it IS.
as reuters is fond of saying, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.
if you cannot stomach the idea of marin being bombed, but you can get along fine with the idea of afghanistan being bombed, that's nationalist racism at its worst.
and, i believe this conversation is about innocent people and cluster bombs. just to keep perspective.
However, all this anti FBI sentiment and anti-anythin sentiment is kind of silly. If we just got rid of them the country would be in trouble, as they are basically uber detectives.
