At least according to Saudi Cleric Nasser bin Suleiman Al-'Omar:

"As for the casualties in Iraq - brothers, America is now in a predicament. You follow the media. America is looking for a way out. Yes, I am aware of the harsh reality. I am aware of what is happening to our Muslim brothers in Iraq, and I'm referring especially to the Sunni Arabs, against whom all have conspired, and who have been deserted by their closest friends.

Nevertheless, according to the statistics, the number of American and allied casualties during the last pilgrimage month - and this figure came from one of the news agencies, and I've checked it with several of Iraq's religious scholars, who confirmed it... There have been more than 40,000 American and Western casualties in three years.

"Do not believe the American reports. According to America it had around 2000 casualties, but in fact, the casualties number 40,000 or more."


The Americans are Dumping Their Casualties in the Tigris and Euphrates, and Iraqi Clerics Have Asked Me for a Fatwa about Eating the Fish

"By Allah, a number of Iraqi religious scholars came to me, and said: 'We have a problem.' What was the problem? They said: There have been so many American casualties that they loaded them on trucks and threw them away in the desert. But because the number of casualties was so high... The Iraqi scholars were asking me for a fatwa. They asked me to issue a fatwa on the following question: 'Because there were so many casualties, the Americans began to throw them into the Tigris and the Euphrates. The fish have eaten from the flesh of the American and have gotten fat. Are we permitted to eat these fish or not?' Yes. This is the truth, brothers.

"If they report about three operations in Iraq - in reality there are no fewer than 60-70 operations every day."

It was weird looking at time magazine's top schools in America and noticing that most red states didn't come close.

Even in S.A.T testing most red states were way below average. Why are red states so dumb?

Is it inbreeding with other family members that degrade red state genes? Jeff Foxworthy said " If your family tree goes in a straight line, you might be a red neck".

Or is the old excuse of rebuilding schools after the cival war the reason for dumb red states?

If you ever listen to Bush he sounds like a crack head. What was it he said "fool me once then sha sha shame on you. Fool me twice ya ya you can't be fooled again".

The South and Mid-West have the stupidest people. They:
1-have a literal interpretation of the Bible. (A person created from a rib, a great flood, a people living 600 years-it's a fairy tale for children!)
2-Don't believe in evolution. (It's 2006 idiots! I know science hurts your brain and shows you how insignificant you are.)
3-Love to lynch blacks. (It's in the Bible! There's your reason.)
4-Hate gays. (Because they'll make your pathetic marriage break up? Right. It wouldn't be because you're both not love with each other/bored.)
5-Have the highest rates of crime. (Blame it on the blacks, you always do!)
6-Have the highest rates of obesity. (It's your right as an American to overconsume and look like a giant pig.)
7-Are the poorest. (Who needs education? And Republican tax cuts help you so much.)
8-Have the lowest test scores from kindergarden to high-school. (Who needs fancy numbers and letters? We gots the tv!)
10-Got killed in the Civil War and still think they won.

I suggest he may in charge of the reconstruction committee for Lebanon, or maybe, US Ambassador to Iraq and Afrghanistan. You know a sort Pres. Carter role, if he can garner enough respect around the world.

granted I'm not wealthy, but I'm doing OK for myself and I personally don't have any complaints or needs... solid career and a college degree...

I grew up in a very poor area and I was lucky enough to get out... many others were not so lucky... and many of them were hard workers...

because of this, poverty is a key issue for me... I've been there and I know it's more than just "poor lazy people"... and I know if the circumstances had been a little different, I would probably still be there...

It seems like so many on here only think in terms of themself and in terms of "how they can help themself"... perhaps that's part of the problem...

I've heard some interesting, some crazy, and some just plain wierd conspiracy theories before but....

lately I've keep hearing this conspiracy theory about President Bush that he was behind the 9/11 attacks so that he would have an excuse to invade Afganistan.

So my question is.... does anyone actually believe this C+ college student, who has difficulty pronouncing every 5th word, somehow engineered the crime of the century, and in addition to that got at least 10-20 other like minded conservative religious republicans people to go along with it , killing 3,000+ Americans, cost his own country hundreds of Billions, all so he would have an excuse to invade a country that has absolutely nothing (not even oil), but dirt and a bunch of poor muslims? (Afganistan) .
And in addition to above, he did it so well that the only evidence of it is a bunch of VERY shaky, usually proven false coincidences?

Now really, does this make any sense what-so-ever?
And you call Bush stupid?

If so, did it come out out of his head or was he packing it in there on purpose? I mean, the dude has sure used extraordinary measures for 5.5 years to ensure that he doesn't hear anything anyone else has to say, either here or abroad. Especially facts, logic, or criticism for why nothing he's done yet has turned out very well. Is the man really just this incompetent? Did every single aspect of our way of life just happen to turn to sh!t because of poor decisions and lack of judgment and forethought on his part? Or was he just playing really, really dumb and everything turned out exactly the way he'd planned? Which would make him a very smart president, but a thieving, conniving one who only has billionaires' best interests at stake, a traitor to the American way of life and our principles and Constitution? And if there is poop on his Q-Tip, do you think he sniffs it or eats it? I sure want a lot of answers to really hard questions for two or ten lousy points, don't I?

If Sgt K, FUBAR46 (now called Robin Hood) and I were the same person since three months ago we used to answer each others' questions every now and then, and because I think I chose Sgt K as BA once, then would that make The Rock, Courtney, Jenny is Hot, Mortica, and that whole group the same people as well? After all, they answer each others' questions all the time. Would this also make erudite and I the same person, since I've answered a lot of his questions?
DISCLAIMER: I'm speaking hypothetically here, of course, and am in no way intentionally insinuating that the aforementioned Y!A members are the same people.
I want to know because...well, it should be obvious. Does it make sense to assume the first part of this question, based upon that evidence, and not assume the second part based on the same evidence?

After I have sent numerous letters with personal info. and even threatened to get a lawyer, this runaway federal agency is still harrassing me and defaming my credit for a school loan that is not mine.Can someone take a federal agency to the Supreme Court? Or is it better to just start contacting Senators and Congressmen to change the laws regarding federal harassment for wrongly identified loan accounts?

U.S. Secretary of State Condaliza Rice said in an interview on PBS tonight that Syria has been sending troops and supporting Hezbulah in Lebanon, that Hezbulah is an armed force operating as a state of its own inside Lebanon outside the control of the Lebanese Democratic Government and they initiated the taking of the two hostages and the shelling of Israel which prompted the current war. So why does Syria send troops and supplies to Hezbulah which is a terrorist organization?
