Dear CBS,

Re: "The ancient, primarily Kurdish, religious sect worships an angel figure some that Christians and Muslims believe to be the devil."

"some that"...CBS???

Proofreaders hitting the crack pipe again?

Speeka ze English much?

I wonder how 'arse008/stinkingprick' is going to come to terms with the fact that many our Kurdish collaborators are 'devil worshipers'? I wonder if they attend the same church?

it is fascist nazi terrorislam stupid%u2026.

non muslims of the world unite... fight against the tyranny of the fascist nazi terrorslam imperialist empire of the darkside...

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

Our Prophet commanded us to fight the kaafirs when we are able and to attack them in their homelands and to give them three choices before we enter their lands: either they become Muslim and be like us, sharing our rights and duties; or they pay the jizyah (poll tax) and feel themselves subdued; or they fight, in which case their wealth, women, children and homes become permissible as booty for the Muslims.

Remember "Plan B"? What ever happened to good old Plan B?

If they don't have one, may I suggest that they get Merck Pharmaceutical to get the insurgency to all take Vioxx...this will cause death and health problems and destroy the insurgents as an effective fighting force....Merck's suit and tie professional terrorists are just what Bush needs--a set of stone killers who will stop at nothing in the pursuit of profits...with a Democratic Congress, he may just be able to get the Insurgents on Medicare/Medicaid so the Vioxx 'sripts won't cost DoD a single dollar that rightfully belongs to Halliburton and Blackwater.

That's right, and those who were around at the time, unlike badaxmofo, didn't need any obscure "media outlets" to tell them that.

Those long waiting lines were not "hearsay."

It was cowardly of Bush, an unmarried, childless man with no fighter pilot experience at the time, to "cut in line" like that. Cowardly, arrogant and dishonorable.

George W. Bush was exactly like those wealthy guys on the Titanic who forced their way into the lifeboats.

Now he exhorts the nation to "stay the course" in Iraq.

How a %u2018Good War%u2019 in Afghanistan Went Bad,,,,, A long article, But if you want truth instead of continued GOP rhetoric, take the time to read it... Afaganistan was shorted by Bush on every account just because of Iraq.

When it came to reconstruction, big goals were announced, big projects identified. Yet in the year Mr. Bush promised a %u201CMarshall Plan%u201D for Afghanistan, the country received less assistance per capita than did postconflict Bosnia and Kosovo, or even desperately poor Haiti, according to a RAND Corporation study. Washington has spent an average of $3.4 billion a year reconstructing Afghanistan, less than half of what it has spent in Iraq, according to the Congressional Research Service.

The White House contends that the troop level in Afghanistan was increased when needed and that it now stands at 23,500. But a senior American commander said that even as the military force grew last year, he was surprised to discover that %u201CI could count on the fingers of one or two hands the number of U.S. government agricultural experts%u201D in Afghanistan, where 80 percent of the economy is agricultural. A $300 million project authorized by Congress for small businesses was never financed

[j-whitman]

At critical moments in the fight for Afghanistan, the Bush administration diverted scarce intelligence and reconstruction resources to Iraq, including elite C.I.A. teams and Special Forces units involved in the search for terrorists. As sophisticated Predator spy planes rolled off assembly lines in the United States, they were shipped to Iraq, undercutting the search for Taliban and terrorist leaders, according to senior military and intelligence officials.

As defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld claimed credit for toppling the Taliban with light, fast forces. But in a move that foreshadowed America%u2019s trouble in Iraq, he failed to anticipate the need for more forces after the old government was gone, and blocked an early proposal from Colin L. Powell, then the secretary of state, and Mr. Karzai, the administration%u2019s handpicked president, for a large international force. As the situation deteriorated, Mr. Rumsfeld and other administration officials reversed course and cajoled European allies into sending troops.

THANK YOU BUSH!!

You are our War President, you are not afraid of a bunch of terrorists! I know that the more we kill the more they are able to recruit, but you and VP Cheney will kill every Iraqis if that's what it takes -- the Oil will still be there for us, and we will be safe!!

Everyone knows that you and Cheney had to lie about those WMDs to justify the Iraq Invasion. We say SO WHAT! It was worth it!

Can't you jail those anti-war jane fonda types who whine about the 3,700 dead troops (lets face it, they are just a bunch of middle class chumps - not like you - you were able to dodge the Vietnam draft). The fonda types also complain about all the death and destruction. Thats what WAR is all about, DUH! They are traitors for questioning their Commander in Chief.

Let the Democrats whine all they like, they are too weak and cowardly to stop you. The insurgents may be fighting for their freedom from our occupation, but just tell America that they are all Al Qaeda, and that they will attack us here. The Democrats will then cower and retreat and pump hundreds of billions of $$$ into the War. Congress knows that the NSA has us all under surveillance- so people will watch what they say.

God Bless you President Bush, for you will make sure our we will have permanent military bases in Iraq. You will make sure that the Iraq parliament passes the Iraqi Oil Law, to give US Corporations their Oil to keep our economy strong. You will make sure America is free and our enemies are destroyed!!

How a %u2018Good War%u2019 in Afghanistan Went Bad

Two years after the Taliban fell to an American-led coalition, a group of NATO ambassadors landed in Kabul, Afghanistan, to survey what appeared to be a triumph %u2014 a fresh start for a country ripped apart by years of war with the Soviets and brutal repression by religious extremists

With a senior American diplomat, R. Nicholas Burns, leading the way, they thundered around the country in Black Hawk helicopters, with little fear for their safety. They strolled quiet streets in Kandahar and sipped tea with tribal leaders. At a briefing from the United States Central Command, they were told that the Taliban were now a %u201Cspent force.%u201D

%u201CSome of us were saying, %u2018Not so fast,%u2019 %u201D Mr. Burns, now the under secretary of state for political affairs, recalled. %u201CWhile not a strategic threat, a number of us assumed that the Taliban was too enmeshed in Afghan society to just disappear.%u201D

But that skepticism had never taken hold in Washington. Since the 2001 war, American intelligence agencies had reported that the Taliban were so decimated they no longer posed a threat, according to two senior intelligence officials who reviewed the reports.

The American sense of victory had been so robust that the top C.I.A. specialists and elite Special Forces units who had helped liberate Afghanistan had long since moved on to the next war, in Iraq.

Needless to say, the evidence at the following source would be accepted as decisive and overwhelming by badaxmofo and his crowd, if it had been alleged about Bill Clinton.

They routinely slurped up the bogus trash put out about Kerry's combat record by the Swift Boat gang, accepting it without even examining the evidence.

badaxmofo,,, Redeploy to Afaganistan & North Africa where Al Queda is ---- In Somolia they are building another Green Zone,,, reminiscent of the Crusades when Christians built forts & lost all 7 Crusades..... We are regressing hundreds of years in this War on Terror, & we are far from making progress.

"Bush joined the National Guard in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. It was the bloodiest year of the war.

Was Bush married at the time he joined ?"

No. He didn;'t get married until 1977.

"Did he have children ?"

Not then
.
"Did he have prior fighter pilot experience ?"

No.


Source:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/biography.html

"Did he not score 25 on the pilot's aptitude test ?" - Funny, but www.whitehouse.gov doesn't say anything about his score.

Nor has any Bush spokesman, or Bush himself, ever disputed that 25 score -- the lowest possible passing score.

[grazinggoat]

But America is a modern democratic republic of 300 million, most of them well informed. There's no reason we can't do both simultaneously, and they'll both get done well if they're done together.
And there can and will be further analysis in the future.

I agree. But all I see Posted is one not the other, possible solutions are rarely discussed. I guess its too much fun beating up Pres. Bush.

wars don't spread justice all over, trillion dollar babies don't kill 2 dollar soldiers

when there is war, most don't die they live: and most that survive because of war are not babies they are soldiers that would have been killed by the poverty and punishment

wars tend to erase first world peace keeps, not third world babies

when their's faith in war, it happens: but when there's faith in peace: it happens

forgiveness happens all day everyday, especially if you're a soldier forgiving a child: but even if you're a child forgiving a soldier

ancient tribes could feed the world though all farmed, modern ones can too though none farm

naked kids with bombs chase their neighbors' dressed parents through gardens screaming and spanking them and calling it immorality

prisons don't fill with majorities and wars with good holy folk and non-immigrants are not slaved and trail groups foreign and domestic are not-forclosed on: SHAME!

*** is no sin, it's just that god and congress won't spank you if you don't have *** on t.v., or at home the wrong way, or if you don't use the wrong word in front of not-battered parents

the neighbors don't cleanse and wholesomefy our grandkids anymore, ***!

keep your religion, currency, language, some cultures say, and today, most say: keep your money and your stuff too and share ours if you like, and volunteer often: dance get well feed world songs
