Reader comment on item: Teach Arabic or Recruit Extremists?
Submitted by dfwhite19438 (United States), Sep 6, 2007 at 16:36
Is there anyone else out there who thinks like I do, about the 52s flying over the middle of the United States, that this was by accident ? I think it was to send a message to radical islam in the middle east, that if push comes to shove, we can shove with the best of them !!!!
