I?ll bet the bulk of this story is most likely true, however it?s not exactly real news to people that understand military strategy, as obviously you do. In addition to plans on invading the Middle East, the US government likely has general plans on military campaigns against many of our current allies too. Why? Because the political and military conditions in the world can change in a heartbeat, and it is only prudent to be as best prepared as we can.

u.s. sen. bill nelson said monday the bush administration last year told him and other senators that iraq not only had weapons of mass destruction, but they had the means to deliver them to east coast cities.

nelson, d-tallahassee, said about 75 senators got that news during a classified briefing before last october's congressional vote authorizing the use of force to remove saddam hussein from power.

Guest,

I think maybe you need to do a little more checking on your facts as regards the US giving infected blankets to Indians.

I?m not an expert on world history but I?m pretty sure that the incident you are referring to is attributed to a British general by the name of Amherst sometime around the 17hunderds, which incidentally is well before the discovery of germs by Pasteur a hundred or so years later.

Nelson said the senators were told Iraq had both biological and chemical weapons, notably anthrax, and it could deliver them to cities along the Eastern seaboard via unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones.

Exactly what is your point? Did Saddam have drones modified to carry WMD such as anthrax? Yes that was known long ago, the Iraqis even made videotapes of drone practice runs and related experiments; this is not exactly breaking news, so what?s the point??

Could he hit East coast cities? I guess so but first you have to bring the drones here don?t you, and why just the east coast, I thought we had cities on the west coast too? Sounds a bit hokey if you ask me.

last night my older son, (now 20) decided to smoke a cigarette in front of active witnesses.

of course they will be obliged to report this at once to the elders, who will question him about it.

i knew something big was coming as i overheard him say to my wife the other day ?your not mad at me because of anything i did, you?re just mad at me because i?m an atheist?.

freeman

Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement. When he does get the boot and after things are settled down, I?m going to show him your postings so he can see for himself the contrast between the Borg and real genuine caring people like yourselves.

Happy holidays everyone

Wow, I choked on my coffee when I heard that!

I have to admit I?m a little behind on the latest JW dogma but I?m fairly certain smoking is still a big no-no. I?m guessing the brothers would tend to frown on atheism just a bit too. Ya think?

My son has recently seen for himself the JW brand of love up close and personal via his so-called best friend (long story for another time), and I think he has finally realized they are full of bullsh*t; something I?ve tried to convey to him for some time. I?m concerned about his mental state since he was raised in THE LIE, and a good number of his friends remain in bondage to the printing firm. I hope he is mentally prepared for the shunning.

Anyway I just wanted to share the news, I?ll keep you posted on any developments. Maybe one day he will be posting here as Freeman Jr.

Atta Trained in Baghdad????

by Yerusalyim in

this report has been in the british press, not picked up here in the states though...if true it's very interesting.. day of infamy 2001. memo: 9-11 chief.

trained by saddam.

document says atta in baghdad under abu nidal's tutelage just before attacks.

What you have here is some interesting tidbit that is useful in painting a composite picture; however I wouldn?t hang my hat on it alone, it?s easy to get burned that way. Yure they have already uncovered silkworm missiles modified to carry the nerve agent Sarin. This modified missile is by definition a WMD. Granted this information was originally released as part of a classified report, however it?s my understanding that it is now also available from non classified sources too. My question is why do we not read about this, why is this not big news? I think you know the answers as well as I do.

You can point things out but just don?t expect that much to get through the bias filter, you are fighting against strongly held ideologies that don?t require facts, and are almost impossible to overcome using facts.

Facial Hair and J.W.'s

by Coop Man in

i have always wondered why witnesses are not "allowed" to have facial hair.

when i asked a local elder just a few weeks ago (he had no idea i was inactive, just happened to bump into him while my parents were visiting from out of town), his explanation was that "in some countries, it is totally acceptable to have beards, goatees etc...., but in the u.s. of a., facial hair is a sign of rebellion.

so, the local or territorial opinions on beards is what drives the local congregations policies.

freeman

Yes that is the explanation; it?s just a shame however that it doesn?t represent anything close to reality. My conservative and respected attorney sports a beard, as does my equally conservatives accountant, I wonder why. For that matter, my doctor and my former boss also sported varying amounts of facial hair. I don?t recall these folks ever being accused of being even remotely rebellious in any way, shape, or form.

I will admit that that back during the 1960?s, some considered goatees a bit rebellious, so I guess there is some historical basis for this elder?s belief. However what this elder and the other witnesses need to do is join us in the 21 st century. Here in our century, facial hair is a matter of individual preference, freedom, and choice. Oops, sorry I forgot, the witness don?t do freedom, or choice, and of course their preference is whatever the men in Brooklyn tell them it is. Sill me... my bad.
