Merry Christmans to Haliburton, Blackwater and the War Industry. You will get a little present of $686 Billion to spend in 2008.

I guess people such as yourself have a one track mind even at christmas. To me its a story of the endurance of faith in god and Christ. To you just another excuse to post a nasty message

Where is the progress in getting our troops out of there? There has been no progress.

+ report abuse

You mean all the reports the virtually sank the bush administration were true but now that we see a glimpse of hope its false. cut me a break. What is good news for you more people dying. You accepted the reports when many more were dying but now its suddenly a well managed media that is reporting that things are getting better. do you have legitimate sources proving otherwise. I have seen critics of the war from the NYT to John Murtha that indicate that things are getting better. Why isn''t this good news and how can you on one hand accept the bad news about Iraq as factual but refuse to accept good news when it comes. I call it hypocrisy and having an agenda that is no longer supported as well by the facts and shock to me and and most we may suceed. Heaven help you if the man you hate bush actually by staying the course succeeds in bringing a peaceful ending to the Iraqi war

Merry Christmas,

Kill Kill, Shock and Awe, Death and Destruction

God Bless our Empire

May the Oil Begin to Flow from Iraq to feed our Hungry Hummers

Merry Christmans to Haliburton, Blackwater and the War Industry. You will get a little present of $686 Billion to spend in 2008.

Forget democracy, let''s tell ''em we''re spreading Christianity! Yeah, that''s the ticket!

[tylenol6]

Sounds like the government bought and paid for news media is certainly hiding what is really going on. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is why we need RON PAUL
to get us out of Iraq.

The United States government in collusion with the Iraqi ''government'' has been doing an excellent propaganda job since September in making the ''surge'' sound like a resounding success.

You barely hear about U.S. soldiers dying anymore. They''re still dying, it''s just that the government is doing an excellent job at controlling the information.

The bottom line is that the Iraqi puppet government is dysfunctional. They are no closer to resolving their problems than they were when the ''surge'' started. You''ll notice this glaring fact is not being reported on at all.

Where is the progress in getting our troops out of there? There has been no progress.

Merry Christmas! Let''s not forget the teachings of Jesus on this holy day.

For Jesus taught us to Do ''shock and awe'' with death and destruction unto others, before they might strike us, or maybe plan to strike us.

Let us rejoice our fear hatred and revenge, for it gives us the power of pride.

Let God give us the Wisdom to spend our hundreds of billions of dollars on cost-effective weapons, rather than squander it on lesser causes like poverty, infrastructure, health or education.

God Bless America, and to hell with the rest of the world or anyone else who gets in the way of our "interests".

And finally, Merry Christmas to Haliburton, Blackwater and the War Industry. Your $686 Billion is yours to spend in 2008. Have fun.

"NEW WORLD ORDER 1991."

If I may...

The one proclaimed by George H. W. Bush (actually in a speech on the ominous date 9/11/1990) in his address "Toward a New World Order"(*), given to a joint session of Congress.

The 1991 distinguishes it from Woodrow Wilson"s use of the phrase earlier.(**)

(*) Full text of the Elder Bush"s address:

(**) Woodrow Wilson"s use of the phrase:

Bump.

Mom_O_Truth,
What is this NEW WORLD ORDER1991 that you mention? That''s a new one on me.

[differnet]

When people like O''Reilly try to say that there is a war against Christmas here in the USA, I would like to point out that there are Christians around the world who truly suffer for their faith. As a practicing Christian, I do not feel any struggle to live my faith here in the USA - outside of trying to resist the rampant materialism and selfishness. This is what it means to hold to your faith in times of real struggle.

If you truly are interested in helping these people, I suggest looking up a particular church. For instance contributions for St. George''s Memorial Church in Baghdad can be made here:

St. George%u2019s Baghdad Relief Fund
c/o St. John''s Episcopal Church
Lafayette Square
1525 H Street, NW
Washington DC 20005,
[phone]
E-Mail: [e-mail]

Please make check payable to:
St. John%u2019s Church
(Memo: St. George%u2019s Baghdad Relief)

But googling the other churches in this article will surely turn up sister churches where you can make a donation.

"Iraq is a bouquet of flowers of different colors, each color represents a religion or ethnicity but all of them have the same scent," the 80-year-old Delly told the congregation. "I''d like here to congratulate Muslims before Christians in their Eid and I wish peace and prosperity to all Iraqis in their country."

Muslim clerics - both Sunni and Shiite - also attended the service in a sign of unity.

May Jesus open your heart and show you the way to RESPECT OTHER CULTURES, races and religions before dropping bombs in the name of the NEW WORLD ORDER 1991. If Saddam was not there, then those Christians would have vanished, just like Mubarak is protecting the 10 percent Christian Egyptians in Egypt for the past 30 years. Saddam ruled with an iron fist to prevent this current Chaos in Iraq in the name of freedom.

"animals can sense fear and threats of violencs."
Posted by runningralph

When I moved to the ''big city'' I did notice that the dogs were much more street-savvy and reserved . . . interesting!

[runningralph]

Fear in varying degrees is the common theme in Islamic societies. Sudden death is at all times a strong possibility. It is well documented that animals can sense fear and threats of violencs.

"Everyone is still afraid to go out," he said. "Because of the car bombs, etc., and other things. Even small animals are afraid of the danger."

How come this is the first we''re hearing of this - it''s that bad even the pets can sense it? :(
