I didn't mean to sound condescending toward you personally, I am 100% in agreement with your assessment, and was before GW was anointed, by the elite. We could have won with about any candidate after 8 years of Clinton, but we were given a One Worlder, and told to like it.
OPEC is an illegal price fixing monopoly that in effect is imposing an embargo on us, which is an act of war. Kissinger helped this along by suggesting to the Shaw of Iran he should raise oil prices to build his army up as we seemed a little reluctant to support him in that endeavor.
God help us, and if you believe Revelation, then we need not worry.
Here is a clip I ran across this morning sort of says it all, and makes me wonder about all the conservatives on this forum that push evolution, to the extent of absolute insult to believers.
“The intelligensia,” writes Lee Harris in Policy Review, “Has no idea of the consequences that would ensue if Middle America lost its simple faith in God and its equally simple trust in its fellow men. Their plain virtues and homespun beliefs are the bedrock of decency and integrity in our nation and in the world.”
You don't seriously think Condi's the one setting the policy here, do you?
yes...and...yes.
But to expand on my post to you...yes I am disappointed that Pres Bush called for the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Did I react the same way when Hillary called for the same thing? I did, but I expected it of her. Besides she wasn't Pres of the US at the time and I knew/ know that she would say anything she thought might ingratiate her with her audience, or that might grab her an extra vote.
Pres Bush when he was courting the Jewish vote during his first term was very supportive of Israel. He's in his 2nd term now so I guess the courtship is over.
What is up with THAT!? Why is Condi so blasted unilateral about all this?
Why is Rice bullying Israel? They need encouragement and support. The entire nation of Israel is upset.
Rice just cooked her goose if she thought she had any chance at President.
Condi is now "fluffed Rice".
Didn't the Palies fire on an American ship this morning? Oh, well, that doesn't matter. Who cares about a little thing like that. (I don't have much faith in Rice being as forceful with Abbas and his gang of thugs.)
Not at all. She needs to shut her big mouth and leave Israel alone. I am losing respect for this woman. She's being used by the devil to divide Israel, IMO. Cheez.
Me, too. They both need to read the scriptures concerning Israel. Divide it and we're toast.
I'm with you completely. This is a horrifying disgrace and I am ashamed of my vote for Bush. I supported him, believed all of his tough talk about hunting down terrorists and killing them, making it so they have no safe haven. Remember his speech to Congress a week after 9/11 when he told, promised, the nation that terrorists and the governments that support them will be considered hostile? Well, here is our wake up call, because it appears to me that he is full of fecal matter.
I'm so mad, ashamed, embarrassed, disgusted, etc., that I swallowed all the talk hook, line, and sinker.
What we are witnessing is the suicide of the West.
Outside of the Israeli areas, Gaza is already a slum. In twelve months it will be Mogadishu.

Thanks for sending me this link. Sorry took a few days to respond to post. It's all sad and disgusting.
You think big and think accurately.
I have had a similar thought. Since we do not have the political will in this country to fully take advantage of our own oil resources, the best approach for the West (including Israel) would be to invest in technology to produce a cheap alternative source of energy to oil. This would leave the Arabs with useless oceans of gooey black substance that no one wanted.
You are right: PC is killing us."
Sorry took a few days for me to respond. I hope we indeed do this. My thoughts were synthetic refineries for biofules using corn, sugar cane, etc. Build them in the midwest and power the conversion with nuclear plants. The excess power could be channeled elsewhere. Been saying this to people in our government for years. We should have done this after 911. The good news is that the Bush Administration is pushing nuclear energy now. About damn time.
Excellent idea! (which means, sadly, that our government will probably never do it). I'm trying to imagine the new nonsense of the Left this would inspire: they will argue that freeing ourselves from oil imports will be "unfair" to the third world countries that rely upon oil for their children.
