Take George out of the equation.

this whole blame the president thing is getting old.

you "anyone but bush" people kill me.

you're all so quick to condemn but have you any real constructive criticism?

BTW: Not every veteran is pro-Bush - this is just republican dogma (you can't be patiotic if you aren't pro Bush [blurgh])

Did someone say that every veteran is pro-bush? (maybe I missed it?)

Just a bit of info here Simon, I realize you're under the impression that all Republicans are idiots, but idiots come in all walks of life - With that being said, realize that we're not all under some sort of 'spell' without a mind of our own.

If the war is our fault alone, how do you explain Britain's presence there? Did Blair fall under the spell of our Republican President? Maybe he has a secret crush on our simple little Texan.

Then what about Japan? Generally speaking, aside from Pearl Harbor, the Japanese are prudent when it comes to this sort of thing (at least in recent years). Did we fool our friends as well?

You people crack me up, like our Gov't is so weak that all it'd take is a rancher from Texas to bring us into this mess. Do you people really believe that one man can walk into Washington and bring us to war all by himself? Washington wanted this war more than Bush did and they've wanted it for quite some time. If Bush is guilty for anything, it's for being fool enough to be their patsy. Give me a frigging break, we all know the President is just a figure head, he hasn't the power to do these things alone. oh wait, his FBI failed. His CIA failed, his Gov't failed....

I really can't believe the things I'm listening to, and coming from seemingly intelligent adult people.

4 years and running so far and now a new baby on the way!

She gets tired (I'm sure) of listening to me complain, but we've done pretty well...

This veteran certainly doesn't want Kerry in office. I'm in touch with about 40 retired officers and they are 100% anti-Kerry. Some of us aren't too fond of Bush, but feel that he is the lesser of the evils. One only has to review his voting record to realize that he is no friend of the military.

Every Veteran I know is either 100% pro-bush (most of them) or at the very least 100% anti-Kerry. That goes for everyone I know that is currently in the military as well.

This, of course, pleases me considering I'm 110% pro-Bush.

Don't shoot me everyone, it's just one man's opinion

10 ideas
1: Tighten the borders, and dramatically cut immigration quotas. Put soldiers on the borders and use them to inspect seaports if necessary.
2: Do not use "Terrorism" as a strawman excuse for the conquest of yet another Arab nation. The pro-Sharon neocon theoreticians, seem to have their loyalties decided.
3: End all aid and cut off diplomatic ties to Israel until they offer universal suffrage to all adults born in their territories.
4: End NAFTA and other preferential trade agreements. Leave the WTO. These organizations do not promote world prosperity, but rather leave wealth in the hands of a few, while the poor get poorer. Poverty and extremism go hand in hand. A trully free ecnomy does not need this.
5: Push the development of the V-22 Osprey. The military needs better rapid deployment and resupply capabilities for Afghanistan style theaters of conflict.
6: End the war on drugs. Illegitamite drug trade is the main bankrolling device of terrorist groups.
7: Boycott products from Maoist and Marxist nations. Placating the reds simply has not worked.
8: Continue to assist allied nations like the Phillipines who need our help in stamping out the Bin Laudens of tomorrow
9: Abandon Antiballistic Missile program. It's pork politics at its worst.
10: Better Intell. Intelligence heads need to be responsible for the failings of their departments.

I'd agree with this list.

RevMalk: are you discounting all the coallition lives that have been lost in Iraq? You seem to suggst that only Americans have made any sacrifice. It isn't the case.

Absolutely not. I was quoting what I hear and since I'm in the US I hear about US forces from those around me.

It's selfishness that is the problem alright ... a country and an electorate with an unquenchable thirst for cheap oil. Heaven forbit if anyone should suggest they USE LESS or PAY MORE and sod anyone who stands in their way to get it.

Cheap oil eh? Ya, I'm feeling it already. I paid 2.00/gallon today and we're better off in this area than others I've seen.

The number of people who have been tortured and killed is terrible. So I hope you will be pressing and calling for the head of the criminals who backed the regime such as Rumsfeld et al.

That's my exact point. We've made horrible mistakes time after time and now we want to look down on someone who walked in here and fixed them all. That makes alot of sense.

Almost all these problems are the result of foreign influence and meddling. What the people need is for US (the west) to stop trying to manipulate and control them so that they can work things out.

Yep, they'll get right on that I bet. It's been centuries of war now, if we wait a few more it might be the garden of eden over there again right? Just get used to seeing the face of Mr. Bush, he'll be around for another 4 and if he's not, it'll be a sad day. Rev

The British crack me up the most. They're almost as bad as the damn French. I bet they weren't complaining when we lost thousands of Americans to save their asses in WWll. By the way, I heard France boosted it's Alert levels this past week from Run to Hide. There's only 2 levels higher collaborate and cooperate. It's getting serious over there...

You guys want to know what the real problem is? Selfishness. The people of this world have become so damned selfish that in general we don't give a crap about anyone but ourselves. "We're losing so many American men" - This is true and it's a sad fact. But doesn't anyone realize the amount of Iraq's that have been tortured and killed for decades? I'm not naive, I believe it's quite possible that our Gov't stretched the truth a little bit (All Gov'ts do ALL the time), but with the mentality of most of these people and the selfishness that abounds, it's no f'ing wonder!

Can you imagine what would have happened had Bush came to us and said "This crazy Bastard is a murderer and he needs to go!" - We'd have turned our heads as a nation and looked away as we have for years. To hell with the innocent people that we don't personally know. To hell with the babies that were dying over there. To hell with teenage girls that were dragged into their dungeons and raped, beaten and murdered. They're not our kids right?

War sucks, no-one enjoys it, but wake the hell up already.

Ok, I've said my peace so go ahead and bash the hell out of me, then complain about how Bush's violence.

PS - The British/French thing was a joke, I don't want to see anyone freak out for no reason.

Use the New World Translation instead of your Bible!

by UnDisfellowshipped in

here are a couple of very interesting watchtower quotes to show jehovah's witnesses who are trying to get you to use the new world translation instead of your own bible:

reasoning book (1989), page 279:

'there are many translations of the bible.

well that's sweet of them...

haha, I really didn't mean that in a bad way. It's an expression I use (I know it's not a nice one) - but I really don't mean anything by it, although I shouldn't use it on the boards I suppose since you guys don't know that.

Sorry
