WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Washington – It is unclear how a suicide bomber was able to get close to a United States base in Afghanistan where Vice President Dick Cheney was staying, the White House said on Tuesday.
“At this point, people are still investigating what happened, so we don’t have a firm answer for you,” White House spokesperson Tony Snow told reporters.
Up to 14 people were killed, including one American and one South Korean soldier, in an attack on the Bagram base rebels said was aimed at Cheney. A US official said Cheney was about a kilometre away on the base and never in danger.
Snow called it an “isolated attack” and declined to say whether it was a sign of Taliban strength.
“We’ve often said about acts of terror: An individual who wants to commit an act of violence or kill him or herself – very difficult to stop. But I’m not sure that you can draw larger conclusions about any organisation based on an incident such as this,” Snow said.
President George Bush’s initial reaction to the attack was concern about whether Cheney was all right, he said.
The US vice president is expected to meet Bush on Wednesday after his return from a trip that included last-minute stops in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
His visit was aimed in part at voicing concerns to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai about the threat from al Qaeda and its Taliban allies on the Afghan and Pakistani borders, with a spring offensive from the Taliban expected in the spring.
