Apparently eager to disprove the Jewish reputation for intelligence, the Union for Reform Judaism recently adopted a resolution condemning the Iraq War and demanding that President Bush provide "a clear exit strategy," including a plan for troop withdrawals. In a letter to President Bush alerting him to the URJ's action, Robert Heller and Rabbi Eric Yoffe lost no opportunity to flaunt their supposed moral sensitivity. Calling the war a "major tragedy" that has "discredited
America in the international community" and "contributed to the growth of terrorism," the two Reform leaders informed the president: "We also call on Congress to provide more effective oversight of the war and to ensure that the financial burden of the war falls not just on the poor and on future generations but is shared equitably.
We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, violations of the Geneva Conventions and other applicable laws, including torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody
" And so on. The Reform movement is the largest Jewish denomination in America and the most liberal (politically and religiously). There is nothing new about Reform Jews adopting leftist positions. But this one is particularly galling. Consider the irony: Throughout the Muslim world, from Indonesia to Egypt to Pakistan, huge numbers are convinced that the United States is engaged in Iraq only because a powerful cabal of Jews lured the nation into it. Millions are certain that Jews did not show up for work at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, because they were in on the sinister plan by the Israeli Mossad or the CIA to hijack planes, fly them into the buildings and then blame Al Qaeda.

Siding with the terrorists just means that they'll kill you last.
Forgive them they no not what they do-over and over again!
Russ Feingold, Arlen Specter, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, the New York Times lineup vs. Joe Lieberman. Its no contest. Lieberman wins in the first round as his opponents will not answer the bell.
---------------------------
Why do I get the feeling that if a Socialist president (e.g. one of the Clintons) had invaded Iraq, they would be for it? Can't have an anti-Socialist President doing good things, now, what might people think? Maybe they're merely Socialists first and Jews second.

Sure it is. We haven't had a terrorist attack since 9/11 with Bush in charge. During Clinton we had terrorist attacks occur regularly, even by the FBI on Waco and Elian.

Absolutely. I can't believe these so-called reform Jews are so blind. If the Islamists had the chance, they would cut their heads off bigtime.

You forgot Eric Cantor.
Joe Lieberman is scum of the highest caliber. He coldbloodedly attributed American values to islamic terrorists allied with Al Qaeda.
Here is the quote, according to the Washinton Post, April 28, 1999:
""[The] United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same human values and principles ... Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values."
KLA values are destruction of hundreds of ancient medieval Christian shrines, murder of thousands of innocents, expulsion of several hundred thousand Christians during Clinton's agression on Serbia and weapons smuggling, heroin trafficking, white slavery, graft and racketeering in NATO occupied Kosovo after the war.
Joe Lieberman should be running for cover, not for election.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Bump
This reminds me of why police fear responding to domestic violence calls.
They can pull a guy off his wife while he is in the process of choking her to death, but when they turn their back on the wife to cuff the scumbag, the wife stabs the cop in the back with a kitchen knife or bashes his head in with a rolling pin.
It is for these reasons that I am planning a vanity rant in the near future. Please stay tuned.
