I second this motion: "Oh, yeah, and paragraphs would help. A lot."

Considering how disloyal Neo-Cons are to politicians--I mean Bolton is actually criticizing the guy who appointed him to the UN post--why would any politician want to associate with these neo-losers?

Ever notice that Israel's best friends, the Evil-gelicals, don't actually support Jewish American politicians. They don't want a Jewish-American president. They support Jewish Americans becoming Israelis. With friends like that...

Mr. Burns: They were the same people who thought blockading Gaza would strengthen Abbas. You know, the 0-for-1 million crowd.

And if it were a nuclear facility, the USA would use it that to push for UN sanctions on Assad. But we haven't.....case closed.

Why would Saddam hide weapons in a country that was at war with his in 1991? And why did he not tell his interrogators about this secret weapons stash before his hanging?Are you advising the Huckabee campaign? He seems he thinks that Jordan--yes, Jordan, the world's largest CIA station--was the site of the WMD storage.

Of course, every reasonable person knows that Saddam stashed them in Kuwait......ugh!

Donald, he wrote: "You call yourself the mythbuster. Well, it is certainly a myth that the South is more predudiced against blacks than the North."

This is a great point....if only I had actually made it. You see, I always lose arguments about things that I didn't say....

Your first point is the strongest. The scariest day in the Pentagon's history was November 9, 1989....when the Berlin Wall fell and the Military Industrial Complex lost much of its raison d'etre (at those funding levels). The heresy of the peace dividend was uttered on many lips.

The "clash" between Islam and the West will last until the Pentagon can slot the Chinese into the "evil doer" slot.

I'd like to start by stereotyping my fellow Christians, beginning with the allegedly practicing Christian who goes by the name of Condi Rice. Notice how she has been "outraged" by the Gazans knocking down the starvation wall, but she was quite content for those same people to go hungry. Starving for the greater good, I suppose. (And only weeks ago the press was harping on her "sensitivity" because of her personal experiences in the Jim Crow South. I hated old Dixie, but I don't remember Bull Connor stopping Black Alabamans from buying food.)

S what would Jesus do? If we look to his followers....apparently, not a lot.

Is there any bigger coward than the IDF pilot who fired this "air-to-wheelchair missile in 2004"? (And now we await the predictable chous set to sing hosannas about the bravery of the "world's most moral military.")
