I thought this post was about torture, not a bible lesson. That post would be under Faith and Religion. Reply...
You aren't pretty enough to be stalked 37rye? Who says? Reply...
You might have noticed, that since the beginning of this thread, the price of "Public Option" has been reduced by 10x. It's now down to a trillion, which is less than we're paying now... Two things: We WILL have a public plan and It's not going to be as expensive as the first incarnation... SO Though you continue to insist that the sky is falling, The SUN IS RISING You just don't know the difference Reply...
Actually, Snow, you have to look at the number.. There is someone impersonating me..I don't know why...I'm not pretty enough to be stalked. Whomever it is, is just a coward who is afraid to come out from the closet and face you. Reply...
Snow.. it wouldn't be the first time someone had an alias. 
signed shoppegirl, indianprincess, dramaQueen, sg, vicky, vivian, .. etc....................... Reply...
Sick, That is a point that I never considered. There was ample evidence however that they were trying to do more than just keep it around until France builds them another nuclear power plant. Neon duck, Iraq's Hussein did a little more than stockpile WMD. He also funded and hosted Al-Quada ... you know, the group that blew up the trade centers. Remember them? They hijacked planes and flew them into buildings. Remember ... they killed over 3,000 Americans and bombed one of our ships ... remember ....... Reply...
Hey 37, are you using two different ID's? The post from the doctor from you and Good Lord look like the same person. Hmmm, I think we have some fakes amongst us. Or are you working for KX? Just wondering. Reply...
Neon, glad you said that. It just shows who knows their history, and who (you) doesn't. Reply...
Pakistan here we come....North Korea knocking at your door... We are the WMD doomsayer Reply...
Working on and having are two different things. Also back in the 80's he had his reactor blown up by the Israeli's. As I remember correctly this was from his earlier efforts and was not from Africa like claimed in 2003. Reply...
Rugby go back and learn your history. Clinton and his admin had claimed that Iraq had WMD's and the like.
Furthermore, Saddam was giving 25 thousand to suicide bombers families.
Also they had stockpiles of chemical weapons. That have been used in IED's against our troops. BTW thos stockpiles violated the law, and constitute WMD's. Which some of you have so hard a time of understanding.
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=15918
("These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.)
What part of that is unclear?
Maybe when you say WMD, you only think nuclear weapons, because then you are right. There were no nuclear weapons in Iraq. There were however WMD's.
Reply...
But per Rubgy, it was worth while because everyone that is there now signed up for it. We didn't need a draft. Reply...
It is a fact that Iraq's Hussein had WMD. Every news agency out there has confirmed this (even the far left fictional 60 minutes). To say that Iraq's Saddam didn't is a wilfull lie about our troops and nothing less than slander. Reply...
Obuma has the answer to all the problems, Ink, Paper, and a printer. What a Crock. You people wanted a Change, Well it isn't going to be good. Now he wants to send out more Stimulous money and his party are dragging their feet. The first one didn't fix anything and neither will the next one. No I didn't spell Obuma wrong, it's what I think of him. The Joker was already taken. Reply...
All the dems thought he did too.
And there were weapons, we gave them 18 MONTHS to move the WMD;s and they did.
Nolie. Reply...
It began more than six years ago with a lie, followed by another lie, and another lie, and then two more, ten more, a hundred, a thousand, an avalanche of lies from heads of state and hatchet men and well-fed media types more interested in getting the interview than in getting the facts.
It began with lies like this:
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."
- Dick Cheney, Vice President Speech to VFW National Convention 8/26/2002
... and this:
"We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
- Condoleezza Rice, US National Security Adviser CNN Late Edition 9/8/2002
... and this:
"We know for a fact that there are weapons there."
- Ari Fleischer, Press Secretary Press Briefing 1/9/2003
... and this:
"We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more."
- Colin Powell, Secretary of State Remarks to the UN Security Council 2/5/2003
... and this:
"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
- Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense ABC Interview 3/30/2003
It began with George W. Bush standing before both houses of Congress and an international television audience for his January 2003 State of the Union address and stating that Iraq was in possession of 26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 500 tons - which is one million pounds - of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent, 30,000 missiles to deliver the stuff, mobile biological weapons labs, al-Qaeda connections and uranium from Niger for use in a robust nuclear weapons program.
Lies. All lies. 4,321 American soldiers have died in Iraq because of those lies, 101 during this year. Reply...
None of our soldier died in vain. sorry to burst your HateBush bubble...
THANKS TO OUR TROOPS AND GOD BLESS THEM FOR THEIR SACRIFICE. Reply...
No, AQ and Saddam did not support each other. AQ's extreme Islamic ideas represented a threat to Saddam's mostly secular (or at least non-Islamic) dictatorship. The Weakly Standard's claims are false and have been refuted.
The Americans killed in Bush's (now Obama's) Iraq debacle have died for nothing. What shame...
Peace and Semper Fidelis... Reply...
"The point about the debt.... is if you have a tax cut you should also follow that with decreased spending instead of just continuing like you have the same amount of money. Also just think how much we need to be taxed to makeup the differnce between our budget and what we take in from taxes."
What throws a wrench into this line of thought is that even though we may cut taxes, our federal govt. continues to borrow money (from China and India for instance) and/or take money from areas like SSI and medicare. To make the system work right, if we had a tax cut, it should be followed by a reduction in spending like cutting bloated programs or discontinuing outdated programs. Reply...
