" Bill Clinton also often weighs in with ideas on the Middle East. But during his two terms he passed up an offer from Sudan to hand over bin Laden. Shortly afterwards, the terrorist openly threatened us: “To kill the Americans and their allies — civilians and military — is an individual duty for every Muslim.” "
(V D Hanson, Back to the Future? The Mideast landscape, 26 Jul 2007)

Over 100 people were killed in the streets during thier celebrations of thier Iraqi football team making it to the Asian Cup Finals. Suicide bombers in cars, and many parked car bombs was the main cause.

Why even go by a parked car? It baffles me....

How is the government handling this? How widespread is it compared to the flooding from Katrina?
I hope that everything works out better for the UK than it has for our Gulf Coast.

2 weeks ago I read something about Ratzinger wanting to reinstate the Latin Mass with its exhortation to Jews to convert. Did I read that right? Was it from some lower Vatican official? Whatever became of it?

With Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch being lied about to this extent and the FBI lying.what has our country been reduced to?
Yet they expect (provide marks on reviews annually/semi annually) their soldiers to be honest and have integrity...we expect the same from our President? WHY??

U.S. must pay $101.7 million to men framed by FBI

would he be just as sympathetic to my cause?

I get the impression no. In fact I would pretty much say with certainty that he would be sitting there in his plush house watching me on TV condemning me for being so stupid for leaving my child all alone.

And would he donate to my fund? Would he heck ...... but what am I talking about. I wouldnt have set up a fund in the first place. I would be focusing my energy on finding my child than seeing how much I can make out of the situation.

The bottom line is we all know Gerry would have sit there roundly condemning any one of us in his situation, yet because he's in it, he expects everyone to be fawning over him as though HE'S the victim!

Why won't he let his guests speak their minds? Better yet, why does he even invite guests if he isn't going to let them voice their views?

"The surge (increase of 30,000 American troops) has done very well indeed in making a difference in security conditions. There's no question, in the Anbar (province) and Baghdad area. But it's not a light switch. You don't just flip something up and everyone is reconciled," Crocker said in an interview in his office in Saddam Hussein's Republican Palace.

He concluded: "I think it is very important that for own interests that we stay with this until Iraq gets to the point of sustainable stability, I think that can be done."

Do you still think Iraq is a lost cause?

What he did was wrong and cruel, but do you think that the media should be THIS concerned about the Mike Vick animal cruelty case? I think that the media has had a vendetta against Vick for a while and have been waiting for him to slip up. What do you think?

Do you think he will "make the world a little bit safer for all kids if possible" (you'd think I was making this quote from Gerry up. Sadly Im not)

I cant wait to see when he starts lecturing to the EU on how we need to adopt the Americans model of child protection because ours is inadequate. Already he has discussed this issue with some politicians with a view to making this happen.

You can't legislate against stupidity Gerry. Hence why Madeleine is missing in the first place.

she is so well know globely, that a childless couple could not possibily expect to be able to keep her, and people like that who are so desperate for a child would not harm her, and god forbid if some sickos took her, why not take one of the younger simblingsinstead? easier to manage.
consider the actions of her parents before and after the child went missing,.
so what do you think happened to the only victim is this sad sad case

Its not till he gets to the last paragraph he even mention Madeleine by name at all.

By that time he told us how great Washington is in the early morn, and how grandiose the British Embassy is.

A nursing home cat is apparently able to predict the deaths of residents, curling up next to them in their final hours . . .

Is he clever and kind or is he suffocating them?
