Yes, UJ, (As far as all of those "roads and hospitals" etc. OBL was supposed to have provided for the People of Afghanistan, according to Sen. Murray, ...

It seems that you, just like Sean Hannity, Michael Reagan, and the others, are twisting Murray's words. She did NOT say OBL funded all those facilities IN AFGHANISTAN. She said he had funded them in a number of countries, including, IIRC, some in the Balkans. (Do you think, BTW, that Al Quaeda is located only in Afghanistan?)

And she no more "portray[ed] BinLadden as a folk hero and adult role model to some American children" than I would be portraying Hitler and Mussolini as such if I were to point out that both men were at one time very popular within their own countries.

As I said, the right wing Rebpublicans would like to unseat this Democrat "mom in tennis shoes" Senator -- what a shock!
