1991, UN Mandate that Iraq terminate its weapons of mass destruction projects, and all missles that can carry these weapons. and to let UN inspectors in to make sure they are doing this.

1998, UN inspectors said, "yeah, they´re destroying some stuff, but we don´t have access to everything" then sadaam kicks all inspectors out...... (hmmmm, is that not suspicios?)

2001: Sadaam, laughs and makes fun of the US after 9-11
2002: Bush says, "you let the UN inspectors in, or we´re gonna come get you." Sadaam says, "no UN inspectors will ever enter my country, you want me, come and get me."

2003: we invade... find lots of "illegal" missles and weapons, but the WMD´s are missing....
2004 and on: every terrorist in the middle east goes to iraq to fight us and cause destruction....


where are the facts for: War-Mongering, and blood for oil, etc...

The apartment was leased in her name only and cosigned by her parents. The only thing my name ended up on is the electric bill as a secondary name b/c I live there. She has threatened me before that if I left she would sue me and make me pay half of the bills even if I wasn't there. Is that possible? The deal was she wanted to move out of her parents house and I could move in with her if I were to help out as much as I could which I have done. I don't make enough to pay much on the rent but I help out by doing alot of other things.

there has been a nation wide campaign for thank you cards at Chev dealers, Cell phone donations, minutes for the troops to call home. If you are for or against the war in my opinion we all need to support our troops and say thanks to all who serve and have served.

ps: Ive done all listed, plus I will be placing flags on vets graves, and visiting vets at the VA hosptial this holiday.

ppss: burning flags , protesting at funerals, is not support

Don't want grown men to die fighting to protect innocent American lives and yet support the murder of the most innocent of lives, the unborn children.
Pro-life and support for the war are one and the same because we are making the sacrifice in order to protect the lives of innocent people.

With the massive inequalities in our society today with a tiny elite living obscenely privellaged lives with most ordinary people living in poverty is it now time for a new system. It is the workers who build and run goods and services and it should be the workers who reap the benefits of their work, not some suit wearing corporate board member who does nothing but go to conferences and drinks champagne. Wealth should be redistributed to bring impoverished out of poverty and build a fairer society. Rich business people should no longer be allowed to control the political system by funding and bribing corrupt politicians. The working class should seize control of the country and govern it in the interests of the people, not in the interests of elite sponsors and businessmen in the way the governemt is run today

Even John Kerry and Ted Kennedy claim that Jefferson said "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."

"As Jefferson himself noted, 'So many persons have of late found an interest or a passion gratified by imputing to me sayings and writings which I never said or wrote...'"

http://www.monticello.org/library/reference/spurious.html

Monticello.org claims that Jefferson never said it. Something Jefferson *DID* say about dissent:

"Political dissension is doubtless a less evil than the lethargy of despotism: but still it is a great evil,"

The quote being misattributed to Jefferson *MAY* have originated from a former ACLU president, Nadine Strossen, who wrongly claimed in a 1991 interview with the Boston Globe:

And I do think that what Thomas Jefferson said is true, "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."

So...Why do libs wrongly attribute "dissent is the highest form of patriotism" to Thomas Jefferson?
