Let''s not blame Jews for this - its too easy. Sure Israel manipulated the US and pushed for this war, but a lot of other really bad people did too, and a lot of Jews have worked for peace throughout the years. This kind of infamous sin reaches across all races and religions - this war is a test of good and evil in every man, and the warmongers have shown themselves that they are without grace.

It is disappointing the Democratic leadership won''t stand up to the right and stop handing over blank checks to the president and the department of defense''s favorite son, no-bid contractors. No one wants to be called the bad guy for "pulling the troops'' funding," but that''s exactly the spin the right pulls out of their back side every time they need more money for their friends in high places. Given the billions in war funding conveniently "lost" over the past 3-4 years to the likes of Halliburton, I''m assuming very little of this money actually goes to the troops anyway, and certainly not to help their families or the thousands maimed for the rest of their lives at the mercy of the VA system. Call it a victory for the "right" if you must, but it''s a loss for the American people at large. $70 billion more funneled into the black hole at the expense of your nation''s education system, roadways, health care, and infrastructure. Used to be war was a great economic engine with profits spread widely. With the dollar in the tank, we need to ask ourselves who''s reaping the profits of war spending now? The rich get richer, while the people succumb to lies. Enjoy your "victory." The enemy surely is.

There are a lot of contradictions in the 4 gospels that we have (there were many other gospels which were rejected by the committee that chose the current books of the Bible). This makes sense - have yuo ever heard the same story told the same way by two different witnesses? There are always a few diferrences. That makes you think the things they agree about probably really did happen. So the desire for "perfection" in the Bible is really by those who doubt, those like GW Bush who can''t really quite believe in God, and need to have some crazy notions of perfection to feed their alcohol fueled fantasies and rigid minds. If just the stuff where the gospels agree is true, then its pretty profound stuff. We dont'' need to go nuts and imagine 10-foot high Jesus''s marching on Bhagdad. It''s pretty profound stuff, and it is a strong condemnation of people like George Bush, he would certainly be one of the torturers/killers if he were in the bible stories.

Don''t think the Jews need our troops to fight their wars. If King georeg the second would leave them alone, and Congo Leesa Rice Bowl would do the same, they could take care of the problem in Iran and Iraq. We first really ought to get our troops out of the way. After all the Jews have done it before!

Screw the poor, sick children. We NEED the additional $70 Billion to fight Jew proxy wars for them.
God Bless the United States of Israel on the "XMAS" (birthday of the Christ killers.)

my son (an army sgt.) has recently been stationed to a new place. Last night he showed me a web page with pictures of the sort of thing he''ll be doing. The page had some cool army toys on it, but said with the budget restraints and the expense of the ammo, they weren''t able to train like they used to. This leaves me with the uneasy feeling that they feel they can continue the war on the "cheap" using my kid as some sort of test to see how economically they can run a war. The longer this goes on, with each and every step they make in the wrong direction, I get more and more frustrated. What''s it going to take?

Oh the poor, poor Democrats. They sold the American people a bill of goods to get control of Congress and they have yet to make good on their word.

They are going to be very surprised when America tosses them out in 2008.

This is the age of instant gratification. People expect a new model every year or so, and will chuck their current model in an instant just to be trendy. This applies to politicians as well.

The Democrat Congress itself will ensure their own defeat and the DNC presidential nominee''s defeat in 2008.

Congress'' approval rating is at an ALL TIME low and still tanking. Cracks in their control of power are already appearing with some Democrats blaming others for their failures. It is just a matter of time before the rats start leaving the sinking ship.

Amazing, What took the Republicans 14 years to do to themselves, the Democrats are doing in only two.

Our enemy has trapped us in an UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE we are not used to of. They are making us MILITARILY and FINANCIALLY BANKRUPT before attacking again.

Those responsible for the destruction of our great country and nation are people like John Hagee, Pet Robertson who don''t care about anything else BATTLE OF ARMAGADDON, SECOND COMING OF CHRIST and all the other NON-SENSE and BACKWARD FICTION described in the book of lies "BIBLE".

MS Jeanine Garofalo had warned before Iraq Invasion and she has been proven right. Quote;

"If United States sends her military in the middle of Arabia, United States will be doomed. The person who attaked us on 9/11 is Osama Bin Laden not Saddam Hussain".

One of the following verses gotta be lie as they contradict each other;

Matt.10:2-4, Mark3:16-19 (Jesus apostles'''''''' names, the twelfth is Lebbeus who''''''''s surname was Thaddeus) Luke
Contradicting verse
6:14-16 (apostles'''''''' names now different, the twelfth in Luke is Judas the brother of James)

Verse
Matthew 27:5 (Judas hangs Verse
himself)
Contradicting verse
Acts 1:18 (Judas falls headlong, his bowels gush)

Verse
Matthew 11:13-14,17:13 (Elias is John the Baptist)
Contradicting Verse
John 1:21 (Elias is not John the Baptist)

I''m sure the troops are relieved. The last thing any of them would want is to run out of money and have to come home. That would have been terrible. Maybe Jenna and Barbara Bush can delivers the check in person.
