Careers of generals have been ended,yet it seems their superior should be to blame. I'm not referring to any specific president. Does the president make the final decision about a mission?

Their agenda of One World Order...I.E. a One World Government?

The reason why I ask this is because of all of the Armageddon doomsday movies on the history channel which is well known to be controlled via the elite.

" ...in 1659, a law was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts Bay Colony requiring a five-shilling fine from anyone caught "observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way." Christmas Day was deemed by the Puritans to be a time of seasonal excess with no Biblical authority."

"it wasn't until June 26, 1870 that the federal government declared Christmas as a federal holiday."

The Republican candidates are taking soft swings at George W. Bush in order to distance themselves from that aspect of the GOP...

But is it wise?

Would they be better off to try to reinvigorate Bush's dwindling reputation and then ride it to the polls?

Maybe their unwillingness to align with Bush will cause the whole party to look confused and unstable?

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran signed a multi-billion dollar deal with Malaysia on Wednesday to develop two offshore Iranian gas fields, boasting that the planned investment was the biggest ever in the country.

The mega deal comes in defiance of US pressure on European and Asian firms to reduce their business with Iran's oil and gas industries, which are in urgent need of foreign investment.

I guess the US "liberal" media missed this one...
The damage Bush has done is greater than most are aware of.

Indeed, according to the UN website -
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=25084&Cr=afghan&Cr1=
At the end of 2007, humanitarian actors in Afghanistan are operating under much tighter security restrictions – the inevitable consequence of insecurity on the ground – Charlie Higgins of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said at a press briefing in Kabul today.

“These restrictions curtail our access to communities for humanitarian purposes, whether this is the delivery of relief, or efforts to protect civilians from direct harm during conflict,” stated Mr. Higgins, who heads UNAMA’s humanitarian unit.

Mr. Higgins stressed “an unacceptably high risk” to agencies that carry humanitarian deliveries along the main routes in southern and western Afghanistan, as evidenced by a recent attack on a UN World Food Programme (WFP) truck carrying 15 tons of biscuits. The vehicle was looted and then burned, and the driver killed" UNQUOTE

Yahoo News: India

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A public difference of opinion between Israel and its U.S. ally about intelligence on Iran's nuclear capability will make it harder for the Jewish state to launch any unilateral preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear sites.

How many have died both American and Iraqi from Bush's war of choice, and his lackeys in the Senate and house who voted for it ?

i thought we were fighting a war on terrorism and in Iraq?

why has our commander in chief taken so much "personal time" (405 vacation days so far; over 1/7th of his term to date)

and don't give me the line about "working vacations". how do you think the economy would fare if everyone in the country "worked" on "vacation" for 57.85 work days a year?

ALSO, how do you think the troops that have served 24-32 straight months without their promised leave/redeployment time feel about their CIC's work ethic?

when any educated informed person knows they two extremes of the ideological spectrum?

Why would they purposely describe a fascist as being a communist or a socialist when they know in their hearts its not true? What is their objective with this bit of chicanery?

what if MLK was a communist? what would you think about him?? what would you think of the civil rights movement??

well hold that thought.

now, look at this.
the founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin, was a pro-soviet commi, here is just one of his quotes. "I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."

Here is the question.
knowing that the founder of the ACLU was a commi, do you think people should depend on it as they do today?
