===I don't think you're clueing in-its not about who can 'hate more', its about who will ultimately win the war between Islam and the West.===

What "war"? We have 5000 nuclear warheads, have 5th generation weapons and technology, almost unlimited resources and control space. And you are afraid of people who hide out in caves?

===Are you mad because muslims don't hold a monopoly on hate? Or that our hatemongers can crush your hatemongers like the cockroaches they are?===

I'd like to think we are better than the terrorists, that we want to avoid being like them. But obviously, some of us (like you for instance) are just as hateful and would be just as evil as they are.

The Real Reason We're In Iraq

The short answer is "OIL." We went to war with Iraq because an influential group of conservatives convinced President George W. Bush that it was in America's best interests to conquer Iraq as a first step toward dominating the oil-producing nations in the Middle East.
Try as we may, we are not going to turn Iraq into a model democracy. There was no "exit plan" because we never intended to exit. The plan was, and is, to build military bases in Iraq and stay there forever. Our leaders see Iraq as a place to make money. So Bush & Co. have set up their friends to cash in on the rebuilding of Iraq, a job that should be done (for pay) by the people who built it in the first place: Iraqis.
The longer we stay there, the more Iraqi children end up maimed or dead, the more of our young men and women die.
Clearly, our government lied to us, and to the world, to get us into this war. That alone should tell us it's wrong.

Listen red - you started the religious offerings. No one asked you to preach. This article is about weapon sales - not getting to heaven.

So why don't you go where people want to hear that c r a p? You see anyone else here asking you to prosetylize or even condoning it?

That should tell you something.....

Anyone else notice the hypocrisy of the administration in trying to make Syria an isolated country for allowing extremists across its borders into Iraq to fight our warriors and then rewrding the Saudis with top-shelf weaponry for doing exactly the same thing?

In 10-20 years when we're fighting Saudi Arabia, our troops will be getting killed by all this technology of ours. Just like has happened time and again throughout the past 30 years.
