As far as abrupt, disconnected seques go, that one was a doozy! You
acknowledge that Newsweek irresponsibly reported a story they did not
try to confirm based on an anonymous source that could be Pentagon
based... or could be based out of their own editorial dept! Heck as
long as they were making it up, I don't see why they didn't attribute
the information to a "White House Source"!

It could almost be argued that their erroneous reporting was criminal
in nature since it sparked a reaction leading to multiple deaths. You
acknowledge that unidentified Muslim Clerics are now calling for a holy
war against modern civilization, yet you are demonstrably gullible
enough to believe this is a recent occurrence. Are you truly unaware
that "Muslim Clerics" have been calling for Jihad against
modern/western society for decades? You are either laughably gullible
-OR- you have a blind hatred for Bush that precludes your ability to
understand the full extent of the islamic extremist opinion of infidels
such as yourself. What's even *more* humorous is that you appear to
think those same islamic extremists would behave, believe and/or treat
you any differently based on who was leading the U.S., or any other
modern western govt.

So in an effort to reduce your post to its core point, correct me if
the following is not spot-on: "Newsweek irresponsibly published a
made-up a story and people were killed; ergo, Bush is bad".

Do you think this crap up all on your own, or ar you ripping it off of
some "DNC-Leg-Humping" blog site?

That's pretty much spot-on. The whackos at work yet again.

That's absurd... NewsWeek itself had nothing to do with a bunch of kooks failing

Well, Newsweek should have known better than to publish something that
could be so violatile without actual proof, and they should be more
responsible, but then as you say, it takes very little for the muslim
mind to go completely berserk. Does anyone think that if some kook
muslim flushed a Bible down the john that there would be rioting among
Christians screaming death to muslims?

It would not surprise me in the least.
