Somebody asked a question a few days ago about the FAKE WAR IN IRAQ, I answered that the old addage about keeping your mouth shut and people might think you a fool, or open it and remove all doubts. I commented that the asker had removed all doubts...I now find that I have received a repramand from Yahoo for abuse and my answer was removed......I answered Yahoo that this person in my opinion was a fool and to ask the opinion of the families of the soldiers killed in Iraq. Was I wrong in my answer, are the people at Yahoo so liberal that they can't see the truth in my answer, or was I wrong........NUF SAID

if we truly had a 'liberal" media (LOL) Wouldn't one of them offer an alternative to what the others are saying..

I actually heard on the Diane Rheam show today, on NPR no less... that bastion of liberalism, a debate between a journalist from the wallstreet journal and DR about.. "Why would Cheney still insinuate the Iraq/Alqueda connection after he had been briefed about the falsness of that intel...?"

Even my 76 year old republican mom.. barked at the dashboard ... for the Oil!

now if Mom gets it... why can't the rest of you ?

I watched Loose Change on Google Video and the film makes a pretty good argument that we are all being fed a complete lie about the events of 9/11. Anyone who sees this film will question the official version, as I do now.

Or is the bravery under fire that we associate with the British army and navy just a value of the past? Just spoke to several of my Brit friends and there is a big debate going on over there. Many are disappointed that the sailors were so willing to "thank" their captors and confess to blame. These young people who volunteer for the military should think long and hard about the full nature of their committment. I was in the military and we learned name, rank and serial number if captured. True, no one can say with certainty what they would do under durress; however, watching these sailors laughing and thanking Amadinajad (sp) after they were let go made me sick. Any thoughts?
