A group of Afghan children collect packets of food aid after an U.S. aircraft completed a night time air drop over a refugee camp in Kumkishlyak in Northern Afghanistan, October 25, 2001. Afghanistan's ruling Taliban on Thursday dismissed as U.S. propaganda a Pentagon statement that they intended to poison food dropped by U.S. aircraft or provided by humanitarian groups to Afghan civilians. The Pentagon said on Wendesday that it had received information the Taliban may poison the food supplies to Afghan civilians and blame the United States. REUTERS/Vasily Fedosenko

I actually have "her" pegged as some college leftie, out to paint conservatives as: having lots of children, cold-hearted, fundamentalist Christians with evil in their hearts.
Great minds think alike.
BTW The "conservatives " on this thread sound more like liberals than conservatives..If Clinton had asked for dollars from kids they would have burned up the internet with negative comments and jokes..If you can not see the wisdom in vigilance regardless of who is in power someday Hitler will be your man.
Still invincibaly clueless. Gotta admire the consistency.
Mark well that Mom refuses to respond to Bible citations which directly refute her desire to not try to give food to our enemies.
Those who have engaged her on other threads can attest it is her S.O.P.
A National Geo documentaries taken some time ago indicate that while food is scarce and people are relatively poor, the people do keep themselves pretty clean, even in refugee areas, which are quite clearly not designed for winter use as the tents are uninsulated 'truck tarp' woven plastic. In the part of the tape taken behind Mossood's lines, people are clearly glad they aren't in Taliban country, particularly the women, though in the mountains they still have to contend with banditry.
One of the poorest groups in the north wass a village of people descended from mongolian stock, who were doing well until some smugglers got their family headman hooked on opium after he tried it to relieve pain from an injury. The village chief was bombed out of his gourd after that and was literally selling the village herds out from under them, a few at a time. It was doubtful they would get through the winter if they didn't do something about his 'spending habits.' (Very reminiscent of what Bubba Clinton was doing to the US, LOL) The women (none veiled) were making wonderful embroidery to trade; the kids were spotless, but when winter hits, it was obviously going to be a different story.
Great minds think alike.
So do crazy ones that is why they can put diagnois numbers on your illness
I already told him he is right BTW..I asked that he continue to feed my kids while I prepare the small pox for yours:>) He didnt get it...not too bright..dim minds ya know:>)
God Bless you for showing real Christian charity and helping ones in need. Those boys will grow up happy, secure and I'm sure will be big successes in life.
Ship the whole bunch to some god forsaken place like Utah or Nunavut and let them kill each other off
All the better, they will think "God" must speak English, they'd know at least enough to know the writing isn't Arabic.
Have a nice evening.
I've been involved with emergency communications training when I was in Washington state. I've been a allied health care worker for 20 years...having attended graduate school at the very University that the young Christian women who were arrested by the Taliban attended.
Where were you in the Pro-Bush rallies after the election in 2000? I was beside RaceBannon and other fine NewsMax.com, Freepers and conservatives at Hartford, CT and also across the street from Joe Liarman's house.
So take your inane, mindless ramblings and try very hard to reconcile yourself to the Lord Jesus who HOLDS ALL GOD'S CREATURES ... Jews, Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, etc. in hands that have healed more than yours can offend.
Just as well. The M.O. there is ignore and rant. Argument and answers do not fit.
Do you think I wouldnt think that was great? We have foreign kids with us frequently..I have done a foreign mission and hope to do another..Now I hope that "adorable" is not a pre requeset..all the needy kids may not fit your criteria..how about a kid fron Uganada? We have contacts there..or does it have to be a "socially acceptible" white or asian?
I don't think we're trying to defeat these kids, I think many will remember the writing and the flag on their gifts of food, they may be converted which is better than us killing them or causing them misery. I hope we're sending a lot of pro-US messages in those packages, and it would be good if Christians would also get their messages to them in the future so they can know the god of the Taliban and bin Laden is a false and evil god.
Perhaps merely an indication of your own extremism??
If Clinton had asked for dollars from kids they would have burned up the internet with negative comments and jokes..
He WAS castigated when he drew on the sympathies of children to have bake sales to help him enlarge an already-bloated bureaucracy - NOT innocent suffering children.
If you can not see the wisdom in vigilance regardless of who is in power someday Hitler will be your man.
"wisdom in vigilance" sounds more like paranoid sociopathy to me. What's with you and Hitler, anyway?
