so therefore its best to stay in the "burning house" of Iraq as it collaspses over our heads.

If your house was on fire- would you get out?

- do you think you might be more effective in solving the problem if you were still alive, or as a charred victim?

many "yahoo republicons" would disagree with me-why? because they need to justify the failure that is Iraq today.

I never disagreed with getting Saddam out-
but i never agreed to the mess were in now.

Weapons of mass destruction? - a lie
Relationship to 911- misleading the nation - a lie -
"w" never wanted a war in Iraq - another lie
death toll in Iraq between 400,000 and 900,00 - sadly - true

ok - bring on the heat - but the truth remains...

A recent article says that Israel considers Irans nuclear program it's # 1 problem and is appealing to the world for help .

Appealing to the world to me means appealing to America in this case .

So will the US go into a conflict with Israel against Iran ?

Wasn't that what the Lebenon war was supposed to do bring Iran into the war so America could join in to rescue the holy land - gods people etc?

Well are you out of Iraq and into Iran ? It's got oil to ya know .

I think Israel realises it can't take on 60 million people with it's 5 million person nation without help Hence the appeal - and it definitely can't take on a nuclear power .

It (Israel) must be a little nervous right now knowing that N Korea is getting better at making the bombs and Iran has the missles and the Uranium .....Plus Iran is getting along quite well with Pakistan - a nation sanctioned in the past for selling nulcear know how by the US and sitting so very close to Iran -

David Kuo is a Christian hired at the W. House as 2nd-in-command of Bush's Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. Kuo has a new book 'Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction'.

There is an excerpt in the current (Oct. 23) issue of Time under the title "Why a Christian in the White House Felt Betrayed."

Kuo describes how "members of senior staff mocked the plan as the 'f___ing faith-based initiative'.' Or as Kuo describes, "When I heard staff privately deriding evangelical Christians because they were so easily seduced by White House power, I raised an eyebrow but not a ruckus."

In Bush's defense, he seems sincere in his religious convictions. Bush is genuinely surprised when Kuo informs him funding for the faith-based initiative is 1% of promised. Instead, it is the Administration surrounding Bush (e.g. Karl Rove) who "milk religious groups for votes and them boot them unceremoniously back out to pasture." (Kuo's words.)

My Q: What do evangelicals think of this?

Below is a Yahoo news article .

Israel wants war with Iran but it seems to be asking for help .

Should America attack Iran ? Is the Iranian nuclear threat real ? Or is it just for energy and reactors? It is being inspected by the Atomic energy people who say nothing is amiss (right now anyway)

Israel appeals to world on Iran threats
Updated Mon. Oct. 23 2006 11:37 PM ET

Associated Press

Iran must be prevented from attaining nuclear weapons, and its threats to destroy Israel must not be taken lightly, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday.


"We have to prepare for the struggle to prevent this capability being attained," Olmert told a business conference, referring to the possibility of an Iranian nuclear weapon.

"I tend not to e-mail or--not only tend not to e-mail, I don't e-mail, because of the different record requests that can happen to a president," he said. "I don't want to receive e-mails because, you know, there's no telling what somebody's e-mail may--it would show up as, you know, a part of some kind of a story, and I wouldn't be able to say, 'Well, I didn't read the email.' 'But I sent it to your address, how can you say you didn't?'"

Is it now easier, or even fashionable and convenient, to criticize the US (or more exactly, the current administration) than China? Almost every day in newspapers there are lots of articles criticizing the quagmire in Iraq, the alleged lies by Bush.

But when China enters the discussion, most people prefer to talk about its economic mighty, and how it may become the new superpower in the near future.

What do you think?

The above link is the Yahoo news article .

America isn't really getting it's way these days is it?

N Korea isn't sorry and may do somthing in response to external pressure and Iran is just ploughing along as it was before with it's Russian made reactor and it's Russian bought abd built military

Do these countires really care what Rice Bush or the rest of the US government has to say ?

Apparently not and with 60 million Iranians to 4-5 million Israelis they only hope Israel has is that America backs it .

Iran and N Korea and Venezuala are wathing the US cought in the mud of Iraq .

So live with a nuclear N Korea and a nuclear Iran -go to war - ....


Negotiate ? I don't see why negotiate no one seems to care what the US says -

Back to square one ? What to do ?

It would seem to me that they wouldn't mention this about Bill Clinton since their party always pushes free trade. Maybe they know it's an unpopular position and they just want to distance themselves from it. Republicans sure talk out of both sides of their mouth don't they? Don't vote for him he's too much like us!!! lol

Tell me something, if you're only making one-half of your old wage isn't that like being unemployed for six months out of the year anyway? This type of decrease has occurred in professions like computer programming and of course the auto industry, but it is also spreading to other professions like nursing and the airline industry. If you feel your job is safe beware, it's just a matter of time before they get to you.

Omar Sheikh is the man who, on the instructions of General Mahmoud Ahmed, the then head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wired $100,000 before the 9/11 attacks to Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker. It is extraordinary that neither Ahmed nor Sheikh have been charged and brought to trial on this count. Why not?
Ahmed, the paymaster for the hijackers, was actually in Washington on 9/11, and had a series of pre-9/11 top-level meetings in the White House, the Pentagon, the national security council, and with George Tenet, then head of the CIA, and Marc Grossman, the under-secretary of state for political affairs. When Ahmed was exposed by the Wall Street Journal as having sent the money to the hijackers, he was forced to "retire" by President Pervez Musharraf. Why hasn't the US demanded that he be questioned and tried in court?
Is Sibel Edmonds, former FBI translator, who translated intercepts from terrorists under a gag order to prevent her from testifying in court?

Are you also against fertility clinics? Couples who are unable to conceive go to fertility clinics to find out what the problem is. Oftentimes, the woman has ova removed to be fertilized in vitro, these embryos are then stored frozen in large quantities and some are reimplanted into the woman's uterus. If the in vitro fertilization was successful the rest of the stored embryos are oftentimes discarded. Are you opposed to this discarding of frozen embryos? If your answer is yes wouldn't it make sense to use the otherwise discarded embryos for stem cell research?

Thoughful answers only please.
