Actually, those are the minority of grannies and grandads. There are
plenty more like them hanging around the camel shed.

They actually look for the bomber 'type' and then the 'bomb'...the O'baman
calls that racial profiling and you know that he has to be politically
correct or it won't happen.

I would say the Isreali' are targets in their own country more than
Americans in any war zone.
