A Blessing from God? Who's god are you refering to yours or theirs? LOL

I sure do hope Bush dosn't get his ideas from God but sometimes I really do wonder if he's just on some sort of religious crusade.

This is a very entertaining read, and includes lots of Galloway's comments that Fox didn't cover:

Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington

btw, he's right about Coleman. He absolutely can be bought and sold as a politician. He used to be a Democrat, but saw greener pastures as a Republican. He's an embarrassment to Minnesota.

"Funny, never in my life have I heard someone say they are jealous of Americans. Yet I hear that from Americans all the time. "

you are either really stupid or terminaly naive or simply blinded by your hate for America... My guess is pretty much all three.

I have heard lot's of tourists over the year say they were jealous of this or that aspect of America or it's law's or lifestyle etc... That does not mean they were gonna pack up and leave sheepfoot NZ... American tourists telling you they were jealous of your scenmery or scuba diving or whatever does not mean they are gonna move in.

I mean seriously.... you didn't wait at the dock for em to come back did ya?

galloway should sue for libel and slander, the american firms that received the bulk of the bribes from saddam, should pay the damages.

irony is, he had the balls to appear under oath in a foreign country to clear his name. something the host country's top politician lack the integrity to do themselves, even at home.

what's kissinger up to these days?

Have you read The Bear and The Dragon? Clancy's plot is actually pretty plausible. A major human rights violation in China makes it on CNN, followed by basically a major "Not Made in China" marketing blitz by their competitor countries (us Americans are pretty good at jumping on bandwagons) that puts a significant dent in China's economy really quickly. Can't say that it will happen, but would be interesting if it did.

You called Gixer a liar for claiming that tens of thousands had died post invasion

No, I didn't. If you're having trouble w/ comprehension, ask one of us adults to 'splain it to you.

There are plenty of "conservatives" who have either a problem with the invasion itself or with the way it was sold to the public.

Good thing you put conservatives in quotes. It shows how broadly you are trying to define the word. I bet you think McCain is a conservative. I don't know any conservatives who had a problem w/ the invasion and I doubt you know any conservatives very well at all.

Quote

blah blah blah mental midget . insane rambling blah blah surprises me not one jot.

Here again you pretend to know what I feel the reasons for the invasion were. If the sole reason was to secure oil, why invade now? Why Iraq? So you think that the Bush administration literally got together and said "Hey, Iraq has lots of oil let's invade them!"

I find it ironic that you would call someone else a mental midget when you believe such a singular factor was what induced us to oust Hussein.

Momus, you're on tilt, again. go back to your therapist and get your valium presciption refilled. Take a few pills, get a therapy session or 12, then come back when your therapist says it's ok for you to talk to sane people. Do yourself a favor, bring someone along w/ the capacity to comprehend things beyond the simplistic, jaded view your atrophied little mind allows.

Well as history has taught us, it's not "America" that supported Saddam, it was a fairly elected government of America. That does not mean it was smart, or backed by the public of america. Every scholar that studied Iraqi politics knew that saddam was a murdering, cutthroat, gangster long before he actually came to power. That brings us to the big difference. Why was the American govt. in power at the time interested in supporting Saddam? To fight Iran? Sounds legitimate. That type of politics will always leave egg on the face of the naive! We did the same exact thing with Bin Laden in Afgahnistan in the 80's. Again in Panama with noriega. Befriending and supporting the devil, so that we may defeat the devil. It is a very stupid way to lead the world!

Actually its 4800 out of 6000 but that doesnt say anything about the amounts supplied by said Chinese suppliers.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/view/#rest

"Wal-Mart estimates it imports $15 billion of Chinese goods every year and concedes that the figure could be higher -- some estimates range as high as $20 or $30 billion."

Only thing that will tell you anything is if you find Walmarts total expenditure on goods and compare it to that 15 billion, 20, and 30 billion. I could care less if 80% of their suppliers are chinese if more than half is american made.(which would be a surprise)

The American people were told that Saddam was a threat because of stockpiled weapons of mass destruction. I think the idea of ousting Saddam would have never been taken seriously without the evidence of "weapons of mass destruction", and the "grave threat to America" slogan campaigns that were crammed down our throat like there was a race to go to war. What most wars really always boil down to is "the rich get richer, while the poor die fighting". I just get very irritated at stupid leaders that embarrass the best and most brave military in the world, by leading them into stupid and greedy battles. Reminds me of Gen. Mark Clark and the battle of Monte Cassino, they still honor that arrogant jerk.
