Bad news: Pres. Bush wants more troops for the “Iraq problem”
Good news: This catastrophic failure to understand the middle east furthers the prophetic events leading to Christ’s return.

seig heil! Where should I report for duty?
How many nations do we need troops in before this Gadianton is satisfied?

We are currently building up our forces in the Gulf in preparation for Iran. We WILL invade Iran! This has been in the works for years now. We will not completely withdraw from Iraq since our plan all along has been to establish a continual presence there. Our plan has not been a plan of liberation but, rather, a plan of occupation. This is part of the neoconservative push to establish an American empire that will reign for the next century. Don’t believe me, read the “Project for a new American Century.”
The establishment of empires by the subjugation of others is not a Godly pursuit.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

It is a mistake to send more troops to Iraq and also to invade Iran.
The more I hear from Bush the more I think he is Hitler reincarnated.

Uh huh Ted, grateful as we are to have Chappaquiddick Ted and people of your ilk post here on this board, President Bush is not like Hitler. What school did you fail to graduate from anyway? -oh yeah nm it was Harvard after they tossed you out for cheating.
Of course you realize that in the U.S. alone around 76,000 U.S. Citizens were killed in alcohol related automobile accidents during the same period we have been engaged in military conflict in Iraq. You bemoan 4,133 deaths in a war where Islamofascist types are actively trying to kill our soldiers and other Americans over a 4+ year period. Please. If you, Ted, are the sort of “citizen” we are stuck with today itmay be unfortunately true that there is absolutely nothing for which some people would fight.
Thankfully we still have real Americans, real patriots willing to stand up to the actual philosophical soul mates of Adolf Hitler and (those soul mates would be the Islamofascists by the way -I state it expressly for the benefit of people like you, Ted and your buddy John Feckless Kerry who can’t seem to see the obvious) not decent men like George W. Bush.
Ted, you are not worthy of America even if you were a U.S. Senator. People like you are just pathetic. No wonder John Kerry D-Mass, Barney Frank, Homo-Mass. and other worthless, immoral democrats keep getting elected in Massachussetts.
