faith in prophecy
and in a way it is. This administration has screwed up royally --the Taliban is still in power -- It is a fact, on the Defense Department figures even, that less than a third of Afghanistan is "secure". What I wish is that the administration handles this war properly. the "shock and awe" was not the way to go -- the Taliban just scattered and hid all around the country -- I remember the story where 7 Taliban held off a few hundred U.S. forces for quite a while -- U.S. called in air power and the structure the Taliban were in was obliterated, and when the soldiers approached, there was still one alive, who threw a grenade a killed about 7 U.S. forces.
and Saddam? -- he was mainly a very weak dictator, who got to his position and did a lot of his dastardly deeds with the U.S. looking the other way, almost favoring his -- Reagan, Bush I -- let him gas a kill thousands --
the issue isn't Saddam, but the entering of Iraq without really preparing for the action -- we are at the limit of forces available, extending tours of duty, raising the age of service so that grandparents now serve -- bringing people back for 2nd and 3rd times -- things that I don't think we've done before --
the issue isn't Saddam -- as Clinton said, "It's the economy, stupid." -- the economy is being drained -- let's deal with facts here, shall we?
is it worth it sacrificing young people and economic stability for this war?, where there is not end to violence -- still insurgency, still civil war, still not too safe to venture beyond the green zone.
As our economy sinks and our country into depression, the issue isn't Saddam, it's an administration that is leading us into this morass from which we might not get out for a while.

writeroflight -- you mean Ohio grows all the wheat in the U.S.?
breadbasket -- Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. - the entire region mostly west of St. Louis and south into Texas has been designated a drought area of varying degrees. seems you don't read news much or view Tv news much either.
light mens to be illumined -- illumine yourself.

Enjoy Colorado, Xenox!
Maybe that rarifed mountain air will straighten out your thought processes.
Let's kick around some of your points:
"We are losing young people to Iraq, Iraq is on the brink of civil war, Afghanistan is still dangerous, the U.S. has squandered its military might and economy on these wars" We have? Would you prefer the Taliban and Saddam still be in power to suppprt and shelter terrorists?
"Israel is about to inflame the entire Arab world,"
And there's nothing whatsoever wrong with Hezbollah launching hundreds of rockets in hopes of slaughtering Israeli citizens?
"the U.S. cannot handle another military situation -- anytying happens and the U.S. would be powerless -- manpower for Iraq is at its limit without a draft."
You've been listening to the Democrats too long. They're wrong on this and so are you.
"global warming is about to create devastating circumstances -- already massive hurricanes and drought throughout the breadbelt of the U.S."
Where are this year's hurricanes? And where are the hurricanes in the "breadbelt"? This part of the "breadbelt" (Ohio) had its wettest month on record last month.
"and GW rejected the Kyoto protocol."
As did 93 Senators.
"i predict a collapse as a result of Bush's policies -- before he finished his second term -- maybe even a mental collapse for him --
bloggers make a note -- lets see whose writings bear out as more valid."
You're on, buddy! I predict increasing mental stability among those who hate him.

Herbert Hoover revisited...
I remember, back in school, how it was a game to sneak up on friends and shove them off of the sidewalks and down into the hedges. Right before we would make impact with the unsuspecting kid, we would scream, "BUSHVILLE!!!"
A trip to Bushville was a place that no one would want to be. Often, kids would come up out of Bushville with cuts, scrapes, scratches and, at times, puncture wounds.
Years ago, there were tent cities where folks lived because they had lost everything due to the depression. The blame was placed at the hands of President Herbert Hoover, thus the name of these cities, "Hoovervilles".
The schoolday push into "Bushville" was born over twenty years ago. Little did we know when we came up bruised and bloodied from those sticker filled limbs, that real "Bushvilles" just may come about...

I'm in colorado corbin_dallas
sitting at a computer my son, kooka_lives, uses.
re: the Kyoto treaty -- i guess i'll have to look up the facts. from experience, I know you don't give us all of them.
and treaty or not -- let's look at it this way:
have you bought enough gas masks for you and your family?
if you live near the shore, have you sold your house and are prepared to move to another house inland?
and when we come up short of food in a few years because of a drought, what are you going to do?
industrial emissions have caused global warming. we will live with the results for nigh on a century. doesn't matter what you or the bastard Bush or anyone else says -- it will happen -- you can talk about economy and jobs and all that all you want. none of it will mean a thing when the environment comes crashing around us.
keep on saying it won't happen -- that won't keep it from happening.

Back from Conn.???
We wondered where you were........it's rough not seeing one's daily dose of the funnies in the morning.......
On your Kyoto statement.......
On July 25, 1997, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, along with 93 other senators (with five senators not voting and none voting in opposition) adopted a resolution stating that ‘the United States should not be a signatory to any protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change of 1992,
The Treaty was rejected during the Clinton administration.....primarily because India and China were exempt.....judging from the burgeoning economies in both countries....and the huge increase in their purchases of oil.....it was a wise decision....had we done it our economy would have been decimated......
