Canada (terrorism speculation) - Page 4

Well, there's only one thing to do:

Blame Canada, blame Canada...

If that article is based on findings in the 9/11 commission report, shouldn't it be fairly easy to verify by looking at the report?

Also, Zebodog (and also Timber, indirectly) made a great point; even if the 9/11 terrorists came into the USA through Canada, they still had to cross the border.

Quite frankly, it shouldn't matter who is in Canada if the border is well guarded (admittedly difficult due to its extreme length). The Canadian government and only the Canadian government is responsible for determining who gets into Canada.

Anybody wanting to get into the States could take just as much advantage of the lax US port security as the less-lax-than-was-historically-the-case Canadian security.

From a strategic standpoint, it probably doesn't matter too much anyway. A terrorist can pick the time, place, and method of attack, and therefore will always have the attacker's initiative.

If you spend your life effraid of a terrorist attack then the terrorists have won.

If you end every sentence with "the terrorists have won" then the terrorists have won.

If you can't talk about the terrorists winning, then the terrorists have won.

The only place I've been able to find it mentioned other than that article was a Canadian travel agency website, but I'll concede the point because I have better things to do than spend more than an hour and a half verifying your information.

Try this.

My information has already been verified Morgeruat, by your own government no less. It's your information which is false, which cannot be verified, and which you are posting as fact when it is actually not.

Don't concede the point because you have better things to do than verifying your own information (after you already post it). Concede it because you acknowledge that you are wrong or don't concede it at all and remain a willing participant in the spreading of lies.

What part of "I have better things to do" don't you understand? I said where I saw the corroboration (and it was the only place google turned up in the first 5 pages) I'm not going to argue the point and I have already retracted the PART of my statement you took issue with, now go get a life, please.
