A joke is a very serious thing. <<<
All of your quotes are very good, thank you for sharing.
The above reminded me of a tribute that I heard the other night, it was lovely and said on the late program, on a program that they are like Freepers on the radio, without politics.
The tribute was to an old time Las Vegas Comedian, I did not get his name, but those that knew him thought he was special as a person.
To quote:
For every time he made someone laugh, God will give him
15 minutes of Heaven.
Flipside: The more you complain....the longer God lets you live....
This is a new site to me, well written and this link should take you to a chapter from a book:
Really Support the troops
There are chapters and links at the end.
If I wasn't so tired, I am sure I could find other reports here worth reading.

If you are following the coming war with Iran, you will want to read this report, also one on Saudi Arabia as the second half...........
One thing it says is that after China made a deal with clinton to not sell Iran the plans, they did anyway.

Iraq war linked with fight against anti-Semitism
By SHELDON KIRSHNER
Staff Reporter
Tony and Elizabeth Comper and, right, Winston S. Churchill
The ceaseless battle against anti-Semitism has been linked with the current allied struggle to bring democracy to Iraq.
In a recent speech marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps in Europe, British author, journalist and former parliamentarian Winston S. Churchill, the grandson of the iconic wartime prime minister, warned that determination and endurance will be needed to counter anti-Semitism and the insurgency in Iraq.
“On both fronts, let us fight the good fight,” said Churchill, delivering the keynote address at The Canadian Society for Yad Vashem’s annual dinner, held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.
But no one should expect quick and easy solutions on either front, he suggested.
Citing czarist Russian pogroms and the Holocaust, Churchill – a Conservative party member of parliament from 1970 until 1997 – said that no group has historically suffered as much as the Jewish people.
Describing anti-Semitism as an “ugly cancer,” Churchill said that it can best be fought by non-Jews such as dinner honorees Elizabeth and Tony Comper, the founders of FAST.
FAST, an acronym for Fighting Anti-Semitism Together, was formed last spring. It is a coalition of non-Jewish business and community leaders dedicated to combating anti-Jewish animus in Canada.
The Compers are governors of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. He is president and chief executive officer of BMO Financial Group, a major Canadian banking institution. She is a fundraiser, volunteer and former English teacher.
Churchill, who was born in 1940 when his grandfather was Britain’s prime minister and German aircraft were bombing London, began with the pointed observation that this is not a kinder, more tolerant era.
He cited the massacre of Tutsis in Rwanda and the mass murder of Muslims in Bosnia in the 1990s and, more recently, the slaughter of Christians in Sudan and Pakistan.
In a blunt warning, he said that the newest challenge facing the West today comes from extremist Islam, which has declared a global jihad and has already launched terrorist attacks in, among other places, Madrid, Bali and London.
He said the West desperately needs the help of moderate Muslims to cope with this threat.
Churchill noted that his grandfather was the first to warn of the dangers of radical Islam, when, in a 1921 House of Commons speech, he spoke of Wahhabism in the Arabian peninsula.
Wahhabists have exported their austere, intolerant brand of Islam to virtually every corner of the globe, and the “weak and supine” ruling House of Saud in Saudi Arabia has turned a blind eye to their activities, he charged.
Issuing an implicit criticism of Turkey’s application for admission to the European Union, he said that Turkish membership would vastly increase the EU’s Muslim population to 100 million.
Turning his attention to Iraq, Churchill said that nothing could be more disastrous if the United States, along with its ally Britain, adopted a defeatist and cowardly “cut-and-run” policy.
The West will pay “a terrible price” should it withdraw from Iraq before the insurgents are beaten back and democracy takes root, he declared.
In a rebuke of the United States, Churchill said that when nations go to war they should expect grievous losses. He compared the 2,000 casualties the United States has sustained in Iraq so far with the 55,000 British soldiers who were killed in a single day in the Battle of the Somme during World War I.
“Is the U.S. going soft? I pray not.”
Washington should aim at attaining victory in Iraq at all costs, he observed, reading several lines from one of his grandfather’s stirring wartime speeches.

Terror raising ugly head underwater
Wednesday • November 30, 2005
THE Al Qaeda is developing underwater demolition expertise, terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna told a maritime security conference in Singapore yesterday.
The majority of terrorist attacks have been land-based and maritime attacks are usually an extension of their land operations, said Dr Gunaratna, who heads the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research here.
"We recovered a diving manual in Kandahar which was, in fact, a plan to set up and run a diving school. Today, we are seeing, in this region, some interest in basic training in that area," he said.
"So, it is very important to know there is a maritime terrorist threat not only from the surface but also underwater. Governments must prepare for both these eventualities," Dr Gunaratna added.
The Straits of Malacca is a key maritime passageway for ships from all parts of the world. Hence the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) insists it is in the best interest of the international community that the straits be kept secure and safe.
Said MPA chief executive Tay Lim Heng: "Any disruptive event can significantly upset trade and incur great costs. One of the areas that governments should engage each other is consequence management — that is how to respond to an attack that disrupts the global supply chain."
Singapore's maritime industry is a major contributor to its economic growth, employing nearly 90,000 workers.
