Why do liberals love cuba, old soviet union, Iran, and anything that gives america or geroge bush a black eye?
Why do they always slam america? Why do they stay in our country if they hate it so much and they love those countries?

How come we were able to stop the war in Yugoslavia, split the country into 6 independent state, but we are unable to stop the Israel and their middle east genocide. We fought the Serbs because of the misttreatment of the Albanians and yet we are unwiling to help the Palestinians. WHY? Do we consider Arabs leser human beings? Are we playing games to get to the oil?

this was writen By Tony Soldo


have a problem with the government of Israel, yes, and they are terrorizing everyone in the Middle-east, and provoking moderate Muslims with their tactics, which is their military and political plan. I am talking about the leadership of the Israeli government.

The citizens of the ******* State of Israel and the illegal settlers, are being used as pawns by the leadership of Israel, as are the Palestinian and Lebanese people being used by governmental leaders of all Nations of the Middle-east.

Hizbullah and Hamas are the same as Israeli forces carrying out military operations and providing protection for their people,remember, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom-fighter.

Hizbullah and Hamas also provide rebuilding and food, water, and school for their people .

Why do so many people here always respond to questions about 9/11 as a "conspiracy theory" ? is the mantra taught by FOX?
FTW - October 9, 2001 – Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the “put options” on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options… Assuming that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the imminent attacks, these “insiders” would have profited by almost $5 million.

- On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that point to justify this imbalance;… Again, assuming that 4,000 of these options trades represent “insiders,” they would represent a gain of about $4 million.

- [The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher than normal.]

- No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.

- Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading days before Black Tuesday; this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day before September 6. Morgan Stanley’s share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers could have profited by at least $1.2 million. Merrill Lynch & Co., with headquarters near the Twin Towers, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in those shares had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!]. When trading resumed, Merrill’s shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000 option contracts were bought by “insiders,” their profit would have been about $5.5 million.

- European regulators are examining trades in Germany’s Munich Re, Switzerland’s Swiss Re, and AXA of France, all major reinsurers with exposure to the Black Tuesday disaster. [FTW Note: AXA also owns more than 25% of American Airlines stock making the attacks a “double whammy” for them.]

Someone had foreknowledge of the attacks. In the weeks leading up to 9/11 someone made a series of investments that would have paid off in huge profits because of the attacks. This is well documented and undisputed. This person specifically invested in the two airliners used in the attacks, anticipating windfall profits from any drop in the stock prices of these companies. This is solid evidence that at least one person in the United States had detailed information that something bad was going to happen to the specific airlines that were to be used in the attack.

We have been told that the person who made these investments never claimed the profits. We are expected to believe that this explains why his or her identity is unavailable. This is absolutely untrue. This is not an instance in which someone was waiting to pick up a package at an airport locker. This is a case of a financial institution processing an investment transaction for an individual. This CAN NOT BE PERFORMED ANONYMOUSLY! The identity of this person who had foreknowledge of the attack is know and this person’s identity is being protected by our government and this is a fact! Period, end of story.

WHO MADE THE INVESTMENT? Identify this person and you have someone who very probably had detailed foreknowledge of the events. The fact that the profits were never collected is even more suspicious and incriminating. The fact that the identity of this person remains unknown is even more suspicious. The only possible conclusion is that this person is known to the government and that his or her identity is being protected.

There has been a clear and concerted cover up regarding the person who tried to profit from events he or she knew were coming. The people who could easily clear this up, but who chose to close any further investigation into the matter are not underlings. They are officials who answer directly to the President of the United States. Check.

My opinion: I think it's a good compremise for both sides, get rid of early illegals that have no roots in America and keep the ones that are basically American because of time. This country converts people into Americans. Please consider it, we need to act, not argue about this anymore.

George Bush always puts guilt by association on Syria and Iran for their support of Hezbollah. But what about the support, which exceeds Syria and Iran combined, America gives to Israel? America too is guily by associtation for the violence in the Middle East.
The problem with American policy is that has been able to legitimize murder and have done so to defend the killing of innocent people by Israel. When will the American people wake up and say musrder is murder, no matter how you try to word it or legitimize it?
Politicians are the best when it comes to "double talk" and "running around the bush" and this is what they do now to justify the killings of hundreds in Lebanon. Collaterial damage is a term created and used by the American media and politicians to justify murder.
What is worse is that America is trying to broker a cease fire when they have an obvious bias towards Israel. How can you ask hezbollah to disarm when Israeli missles are dropping all around them. How stupid

It seems to me that the Conservatives (my self included) and the Liberals gather up into our camps and then spend a lot of time taking pot shots at each other. I won't say that I am not guilty of this I have done it on many occasions. Is there a way that people of opposing views can get together lest we wind up like Israel and Palestine?

Did you see the Military ( American ) troop on CNN today saying how Iraq was a big mistake?
The American Troop stated the USA is in a war it can't win. He said we will fight for a few more years and then say to the world "We won!" and them we will leave and watch Iraq fall like Vietnam did 31 years ago. The troops said "We will have died for nothing and I for one want to get the hell out of this worthless nation". Of course CNN hid his face due to the military not allowing free speech. ( Note:....I told all of you here the war is worthless....Now do you believe me?)
