"Now, the Iraqis dread each day as they discover more dead relatives at the hands of America. They are denied the freedom to choose their own leaders, with Chalabi - a convicted criminal favored to assert power over them. That's the Iraqi impression of "democracy."
You've been watching too much CNN...SHEEESH!! Well over 90% of Iraqis are thankful to be out from underneath the iron fist of Saddam Hussein. Sure, they don't like being occupied, but we are moving quickly towards handing over power to the Iraqis. Still, after the June 30 transfer of power, the huge majority of Iraqis want us to remain to insure that order is maintained.
"...the local freedom fighters are hunted down & killed like mad dogs."
What hogwash!! The majority of the trouble-makers over there are from outside of the Country, and they aren't "freedom fighters", they're bloodthirsty terrorists!!
"War Crimes, from beginning to end. The altruistic claims are so many lies, proven by the death & destruction."
I really feel sorry fer yer delusions here...what a sad existence if you actually believe this krap you spew.
"Our troops are saddled with all this; but it was all known to be a War Crime, ahead of time. The troops are stuck with "obeying orders;" they just can't escape that. In time, the leaders are going to be in deep trouble. However, people fighting to eject an invasion-occupation force can't be very readily criticized. For all the cries about the horrors of Saddam, he wasn't gunning down civilians at a mosque & blowing up entire neighborhoods."
Of course he was...there are mass graves all around Iraq thanks to Hussein, and he used one of his allegedly "non-existent WMDs" to massacre a whole town of Kurds. Your lack of understanding about Saddam's atrocities belies a horrific ignorance or else you are simply being disingenuous.
"The locals look at the clouds of smoke over their cities, the blown up homes, the shortages of everything. The one thought on their mind - "This is the real America; they are famous for it." You can't blame them for that perception."
Already, Iraqis enjoy more running water, more electrified homes and workplaces, more foodstuffs and medicine than they had in the majority of years of Saddam's Reign of Terror. And despite the wishful thinking of anti-American leftists like yourself, there is no widespread perception that America need be blamed for anything like what you describe!!
"It's long past time to leave."
We'll leave when it is safe for the Iraqi people for us to leave, and no sooner.
"Among other topics, our own military is in shambles, to boot. 130,000 of our finest troops pinned down by a third-world country; without a government or an organized army. What picture does that paint??? The historic benchmarks are far too obvious - we're going to lose!"
Wishful rantings from an anti-American Leftist...our Victory in Iraq is inevitable and all these skirmishes are but roadbumps on the path to a free, democratized, affluent New Iraq. And there's not much yer whining can do to avert that eventuality 'cuz thankfully folks who think like you have no real Power in this Country.
Thank Allah fer that...MUD
"This war on Iraq is both a religious and economic war. It is religious in that we are fighting against a religious group who pose a threat not just to America but also to Israel. It is economic in that it is oil that Suddam and his henchmen are using to control us. We are not just fighting Suddam but also nations like Russia, Syria, and Iran, possibly responsible for suppling him with the weapons of mass destruction. And just remember that America did supply foreign nations arsenal who in return supplied our enemies with it."
Yer right...unfortunately, during the Cold War, America allied ourselves with many unsavory characters in our all-out effort to defeat the Evil Empire. Eventually, it worked, but now we've got to shift gears and quit supporting regimes that enslave their populations.
"And yes, Bill clinton did give our nuclear technology to the communist chinese by "losing" the nuclear codes. But this adminstration fares no better. I never sought to vote for a superman. I stopped putting my faith in leadership of men like these and started putting it in God for only He can save me. Jesus Christ is my Superman; not Bush Jr."
I'm with you there...I may support Dubyuh's efforts in the War on Terrorism, but he's let me down on many domestic issues to the point that I'm seriously considering voting Constitution Party this November.

BTW...we miss you over on the Black threads.
"By law the Governor must submit a balanced budget to the Virginia General Assembly. However, this year the Governor's budget unlawfully intertwined appropriations and new taxes within the same bill. Combining taxes and appropriations in one bill violates the single-object rule, which is a foundational tenet of Virginia constitutional law. The single-object rule is designed to prevent "logrolling," where multiple objects are rolled into one measure until enough votes are accumulated to enact laws that could not stand on their own merits. Clearly, taxes were incorporated into the budget bill for just that reason. New taxes could not pass on their own merits. The single-object rule ensures an orderly framework for considering distinct legislative measures for their individual worth. Article IV, Section 12 of the Virginia Constitution prohibits legislation that combines dissimilar objects, such as taxes and appropriations, since neither can be properly evaluated once the two are combined. THE GOVERNOR'S initial budget, and the subsequent Senate bill, should have been rejected, because both violated the single-object rule. Rejecting them would have compelled the Governor to abide by the state Constitution and send down a properly revised budget bill. But by referring the unlawful proposals to committee, the House acceded to the Governor's unconstitutional strategy. Failure to promptly reject the unconstitutional budget bill has precipitated a chaotic legislative impasse of historic proportions."

"This war on terrorism is absolutely bogus."
We'll haveta agree to disagree on this issue, my FRiend.
"If this administration wanted to fight terrorism, they would have closed our borders to prevent invasion into this country by those illegally entering into the United States."
You just nailed another issue that I believe Dubyuh's whiffed on.
"I miss some of you guys over there on the forum. Please tell them hello for me. However, even if I were invited back to the forum I would not crawl back. Too many posters on this forum have been banned from FR and when they went back, they were bannned again. It's as if banning posters over on that forum is a gladiator sport derived from Rome."
I'll tell them by posting this comment to Black XXV...they'll be glad to hear from you...MUD

"Raw Data: Text of Released PDB
Saturday, April 10, 2004
The following is a redacted text of the presidential daily briefing from August 6, 2001:
"Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S."
Clandestine, foreign government, and media reports indicate Bin Ladensince 1997 has wanted to conduct terrorist attacks in the U.S. Bin Laden implied in U.S. television interviews in 1997 and 1998 that his followers would follow the example of World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef and "bringthe fighting to America."
After U.S. missile strikes on his base in Afghanistan in 1998, Bin Ladentold followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington, according to a [deleted text] service.
An Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) operative told [deleted text] serviceat the same time that Bin Laden was planning to exploit the operative'saccess to the U.S. to mount a terrorist strike.
The millennium plotting in Canada in 1999 may have been part of Bin Laden's first serious attempt to implement a terrorist strike in the U.S. Convicted plotter Ahmed Ressam has told the FBI that he conceived the idea to attack Los Angeles International Airport himself, but that BinLaden lieutenant Abu Zubaydah encouraged him and helped facilitate theoperation. Ressam also said that in 1998 Abu Zubaydah was planning hisown U.S. attack.
Ressam says Bin Laden was aware of the Los Angeles operation.
Although Bin Laden has not succeeded, his attacks against the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 demonstrate that he preparesoperations years in advance and is not deterred by setbacks. Bin Laden associates surveilled our Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam as early as 1993, and some members of the Nairobi cell planning the bombings were arrested and deported in 1997.
AI Qaeda members including same who are U.S. citizens have resided in and traveled to the U.S. for years, and the group apparently maintains asupport structure that could aid attacks.
Two Al Qaeda members found guiltyin the conspiracy to bomb our embassies in East Africa were U.S. citizens, and a senior EIJ member lived in California in the mid-1990s.
A clandestine sourcesaid in 1998 that a Bin Laden cell in New Yorkwas recruiting Muslim-American youth for attacks.
We have not been able to corroborate some of the more sensational threat reporting, such as that from a [deleted text] service in 1998 saying that Bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to gain the release of "Blind Shaykh" 'Umar' Abd aI-Rahman and other U.S.-held extremists.
Nevertheless, FBI information since that time indicates patterns ofsuspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations forhijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance offederal buildings in New York.
The FBI is conducting approximately 70 investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers Bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May sayingthat a group or Bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives."

"On Tuesday, the London Arabic daily Al-Hayat noted in the previous two days there had been "repeated talk in the Governing Council of Iraq about the major Iranian role in the events that took place in the Iraqi Shiite cities," according to the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI. "The direct Iranian presence in the Shiite areas of Iraq in the political, security, and economic affairs can not be ignored anymore," the paper said. "This presence is accompanied by a vigorous Iranian effort to create bridges with different forces in Iraq; first, by material and logistic aid to parties other than the Shi'a, and secondly through the traditional Iranian influence in the religious seminaries [hawza] and in the Marja'iya [religious Shi'a authorities] institutions." As WorldNetDaily reported, last April, an Iranian cleric, Kadhem al-Husseini al-Haeri, issued a religious edict distributed to Shiite mullahs in Iraq, calling on them "to seize the first possible opportunity to fill the power vacuum in the administration of Iraqi cities." The edict, or fatwa, issued April 8, 2003, showed that Shiite clerics in Iraq are receiving significant direction from Iran. The edict said Shiite leaders have to "seize as many positions as possible to impose a fait accompli for any coming government."
Is it getting to be time to deal with a second country in the Axis of Evil?!

"Here was a man...a man who was born in a small village, the son of a peasant woman. He grew up in another small village. Until He reached the age of thirty, He worked as a carpenter; then, for three years, He was a travelling minister. But He never travelled more than two hundred miles from where He was born, and where He did go, He usually walked. He never held political office, He never wrote a book, He never bought a home, He never had a family, He never went to college, and He never set foot inside a big city, yet...here was a man.
Here was a man...though He never did one of those things that you usually associate with greatness, He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this World, except through the Divine Purpose that brought Him to this World.
While He was still a young man, the Tide of Popular Opinion turned against Him. Most of His FRiends ran away...one of them denied Him, one of them betrayed Him and turned Him over to his Enemies. Then, He went through the mockery of a Trial and was nailed to a Roman Cross between two thieves. And even while He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had in this World, and that was His robe, His Purple Robe. When He was dead, He was taken down from the cross and laid in a borrowed grave, provided by a compassionate FRiend.
More than Nineteen Centuries have come and gone, and today He's the Centerpiece of the Human Race, Our Leader, and the Column to Human Destiny. And I think I'm well within the mark when I say that All of the Armies that Ever Marched, All of the Navies that Ever Sailed, All of the Legislative Bodies that Ever Sat, and All of the Kings that Ever Reigned...All of Them Put Together have not affected the Life of Man on this Earth so Powerfully as that One Solitary Life...
Here was a man."
My six-year-old daughter and I were driving along yesterday, listening to our new Christmas CD we had just picked up from Staples Office Supply, when this "song" came on and we both stopped chatting and listened intently. I explained--halfway through--that Mr. Cash was talking about Jesus. Then, after the song was over, JesseLee looked up at me and said, "Daddy, why didn't Jesus have a family?" Temporarily shocked by her natural incisiveness, I mumbled a silly answer about not meeting the right mommy, but the question has been on my mind ever since. So, Jessica, here's the answer Daddy meant to say, "Jesus never had a family because All of Us are His Family, All of Us are His Brothers and Sisters, All of Us are His Children!!"
