For some reason I read this as I'm an antichrist. And thought, well thats a bold- although not political statement. Then I re-read it and felt kind of stupid, now I'm letting the world know, which makes me feel even stupider, yet, I am still writing it.... oh well .

From what I have read: The minimum time to withdraw forces from Iraq, assuming a full and "immediate" withdrawl was ordered is 18 months. That assumes the withdrawl can be done without any interference, bombings, snipers, road side bombs etc..... A much more realistic time table is 24 to 36 months. The only way to accomplish a full pull out within 180 days would be to abandon every piece of equipment and use a massive number of commercial airliners to withdraw forces.

Ray...you're not saying that Hamas is NOT a terrorist group are you?

Funny how some groups are called terrorists one day and later on in history they become special and trusted allies.
Do take the time to study the history of the middle east and you will soon find out that not all that long ago there existed a group of individuals that were referred to as terrorists by the British and others.
Can you guess which country I am alluding to?

Sorry if my post came across like I don't care about the Iraqi's. I care a lot about them. I detest war and wish that we could live in a world peace. War sucks.
One of the main reasons that we went into Iraq was to free them from Saddam, who was killing millions of people. One of our goals of this war was to save lives. We are doing that. The goal of the war isn't to obliterate Iraqis and maybe we aren't going about the war the perfect way, but I can hardly stand it when people say that we should back out of Iraq. The Iraqi citizens as a whole don't want us to back out, because we are protecting them from the Radical Islamist groups that are attacking them as well as our troops.
I didn't mean to come off like I didn't care about the innocent Iraqi's. I wish war wasn't a part of life, and that we could all live in peace. That would be awesome. I'm not one of those political people that thinks that everyone on the same side as them is perfect. I don't think that Bush is the best president we have ever had, but I do agree with the war in Iraq.
My main point in stating that it gets blown out of proportion is that the media tries to appeal to our emotions by saying that we are losing tons of American soldiers. There are a lot of crazy Americans that only care about Americans, and when they hear that we are losing all these Americans, then they want us to pull out, just like the media wants. That was my only point. Really, I care about everyone involved just as much if not more than anyone on this site, and I hate the fact that innocent people are dying, but we are also saving innocent lives over the longhaul, and protecting our own.
Thats all I meant, and I hope that no one things that I'm just some insensitive jerk, I really do care about human lives, and I agree that we shouldn't be selfish in who we care about. Sorry if I came across sounding insensitive and harsh. |

Those of you outside of the USA, your comments are only opinion, thank God, those of you in the USA, especially the ones on this site with uneducated news bites... I won't worry, because you won't vote anyway. A president from any party can make a lot of negative decisions, but they'll clean up in the aftermath, however, if a president puts someone on the supreme court, we'll have to live with it for a very long time.
I'm not crazy about McCain, but the alternatives are really frightening and I don't care what camera you own. |

That's a crank "news" website that has been sued for its libel and made to retract its falsehoods. Suggesting that AP is propaganda while quoting anything from that place is, politely, myopic. Read the section "Controversial articles" at Wikipedia. |

BBC World News
The guardian
National Public Radio
3 sites that still use actual journalism and not spin. Go read, read some history books and look into things for yourself. Make up your own mind.
The fact that people actually think the Black Muslim movement in this country is in any way tied to the crazy suicide bombers in the Middle East makes me laugh. The fact that people think Obama is into the Muslim anything makes me laugh. Obama had a white grandmother and I would bet she was a sharp hip little lady in her day. Can you imagine an interracial marriage in a segregated society, where there used to be whites only this and blacks only that?
The people at Fox news should be tarred and feathered; I am amazed at how much spin people want to eat. The ONLY reason we are at war with Iraq is for oil. If we are such humanitarians that want to save people why aren't we in Darfur, Why didn't we do anything in Serbia? If the war is about weapons of mass destruction why aren't we in North Korea? They don't have vast oil fields is why.
If you agree to violence in any way shape or form you aren't reading your own book. Christ said turn the other cheek, Chist said love your enemy, he didn't say carpet bomb the middle east into the stone age. Christ was a pacifist, if he wasn't why did the son of god alllow himself to be nailed to a cross and then ask for them to all be forgiven. This is in your book, and has nothing at all to do with oil or war or stupid politics. In fact if you play Bingo at your church your pretty much a hypocrite, Jesus busted up money lenders and gambling tables in a church and that was the bit that lead to the whole crucifixion. He went nutty about people betting and banking inside the church.
Read your own bible
Read the Koran
Pretty much the same books and say the same thing.
Read news that isn't owned by the guy that runs Fox news.

What about the delegate movement from Hillary's side to Obama's Side. He got 8 from her last weekend. Obama also gained 3% points on McCain and took a lead over him 49/47...
Obama still has 30 something days til Penn. and is only behid by 9 points...started out 20 points behind just like every other "big" state Hillary has managed to hold onto.

Also seems to do whatever she has to, even if democratic party is at stake. If her purpose is really to do what is best for the citizens of the US, she should watch what she says about her primary dem opponent.

haha...I think he has a great chance. He has a huge movement behind him...National Polls show him as ahead. Attracts minorities, independents...those who vote for Clinton will also vote Obama if he is the Candidate...Can't say the same is true for Hillary...I'd have an awefully hard time voting for her. |
I agree on the Hillary thing...people need to remember that she allowed the insurance industry to buy her silence. Not to be trusted. |

It requires all Americans to realize that your dreams do not have to come at the expense of my dreams; that investing in the health, welfare, and education of black and brown and white children will ultimately help all of America prosper.
it means taking full responsibility for own lives – by demanding more from our fathers, and spending more time with our children, and reading to them, and teaching them that while they may face challenges and discrimination in their own lives, they must never succumb to despair or cynicism; they must always believe that they can write their own destiny.

Not filtered, just spun in a certain way so as to sell more (papers, commercial space etc). |
