Kevin you need to read a little more. Osama bin Ladin in a Sunni.
Ill have you know i was a nurse in iraq and i voulonteered i also joined the day after september 11th and furthermore i was also in katrina helping save the folks who stayed behind to protect thier drug trade and loot the city
Oh, and to hark back to my earlier post on Tillman, Jessica Lynch's story was also seized by the media and sensationalised.
When the military was asked about her case, they commendably gave the 'combat veteran hero' answer they would have given about any soldier.
Because they know what happens when people that weren't there and have no context try to analyze events they know nothing about.
They invariably say stupid things like she isn't a hero because her gun jammed when her unit was attacked. The media loves to do stuff like that, analyze who is a bigger hero, who fought harder, who flew into the heart of darkness, who did more, harder, better, faster...and then bash them and tear them down when they expose the 'real story' the next week.
And when Lynch tried to be modest and honest and deflect credit to her comrades, and downplay the danger she was in, the media used THAT as well, to attack her first and then the military for 'lying.'
Thanks, people, for creating heros in one breath and tearing them down in the next. It would be sad if it weren't so predictable.
Hobbs, 'I and the Father are one'? Is that enough for you? 'If you have seen me, you have seen the Father'? There's two. 'Before Abraham was born, I Am' There's three?
You want me to look into Islam with an open mind? DO those Palestinian children who are brainwashed that the 'jew is evil' given a chance to examine Islam with an open mind? Are the hate-mongering imams in Europe examining things with an open mind, living off of Socialist European countries while decrying the evil of western society?
Mr. Dylan Tabor: Please remain where you are, we will be in touch with you shortly.

Kevin, you're still an a-hole, and I would also bet that you are quite gay.
Guys i hope you all know that it is the shiites that are evil and the taliban and osama are both shiites osamas family are sunnis and that is why he rebeled it is the sunnis who tolerate western ideals
if i were gay wouldnt that make me a liberal shame on you liberal for labeling me you are worse than imus
This war was initiated because of our addiction to oil and our conviction that the world's resources are ours to squander. I wonder why we would spend hundreds of billions of dollars in an attempt to impose our will on people unwilling to accept it rather than investing the same capital to become energy self sufficient and better custodians of our environment.
The greatness of this country was born from the determination of people oppressed in their native lands who undertook great hardship to make a better way. No one gave freedom to them. Today we feel that we can short cycle this process and GIVE people 'freedom' as only we understand it.
God Bless the Tillman's and Jessica for standing up for the truth. The liars
have fooled most of the American population and it will be hard to get the
message out to everyone. Love ya.......
Jessica Lynch is in fact a Hero. It has taken a lot of courage to persist with honesty and truth in the face of massive government bureaucratic deception and dishonesty implicating her.
kevin, im honestly not really worried about who's a sunni or who's a shiite, or Jew, Satanist, Christian, Buddhist, etc. The main idea is that people are shooting at and bombing americans over there, I'm more worried about those people getting home safe than who we are trying to take out. We just need to finish with this war as fast as possible and get out, and save the most lives possible in the long run.
has anyone forgot that we do not have any honorable reason to be in Iraq than to just right a horrendous wrong which we caused, mainly the annihilation of the Iraqi peoples and their murderous Saddam Hussein. There are many countries like this one we could have invaded but nooooooooooooo! they have oil!, African countries do not!
If we wanted honorable deaths, we should have gone after the Saudis who perpetrated the 9/11 disaster and their murderous leader. But the CArlyle group is a friend of the saudis, so we go after their neighbors.
There is nothing honorable about a war in Iraq, but a war against Al Quaeda would have been.
'Kevin Cormier,' it is truly disgusting that people like you continue to perpetuate hate and ignorance.
Hey Hobbs, you're wrong on ALL counts. Jesus did say he was God. Jesus explained that the God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are ONE God (after all God has the prerogative to be anything he wants...He's God, you blockhead). There will be a second coming of Jesus because he said there will be, it's as SIMPLE as that (take your own advice and read Revelation, you arrogant idiot). I do not hate Muslims, but I do disrespect Islam. Unlike you, I will not attempt to portray myself as an authority on Islam. All I know is what I can see with my own eyes. Wherever in this world that modern-day Muslims have assembled they have brought death to their own people and to others around them. Modern-day Muslims are intolerant. Modern-day Muslims do not create or invent, they use and destroy. Modern-day Muslims kill themselves, they kill other Muslims, and they are reactionary to the point of sheer insanity. Modern-day Muslims are living and acting out a lie. Modern-day Muslims will likely bring about the Apocalypse, and it is from them that the Anti-Christ will likely emerge. Go to hell, Hobbs. You're hateful and you, and all others like you, are unnecessary among us.
It goes back to the saying 'you break it.You own it' This was said by an intelligent and experience man. The US government did not listen. Now where are we? Our young men are coming home without arms and legs, paralized and more and more are dying each day at very young age.
Why? this war should not have been.
This is not the first time that the suggestion surfaced that the 'heroic' branding of Jessica Lynch's ordeal was fabricated by the military, yet who in the military responded proactively to diffuse the lie? Certainly not the 'Commander-in-Chief' who could have demanded the truth and conveniently failed to do so. Ultimately, Jessica's testimony before congress serves to underscore how self-serving this administration truly is. George Bush demonstrates his contempt for the American Citizen when he decides for us that we can't handle the truth, or worse, that his version of the truth will somehow mask the dirth of leadership qualities he posseses. What a sad little naked emperor he is.
Reading the anti-American comments I can't help but wonder why you so fiercely hate America yet you're quite content to take advantage of living here with all its glory. If you hate it so much, please leave. There are plenty of other industrialized, well developed countries out there where you can live and hate us from afar. If you don't like America so much, how come you enjoy everything that's been brought to you by America? You are exercising a fundamental 'Americanism' simply by bashing the place. I'm not saying I support or don't support anything. I just want you to stop and think for a minute: You weren't complaining when you set your security alarm last night and went to bed knowing you'd be safe. You weren't complaining this morning when you had breakfast. You weren't complaining when you parked your $50,000 car in your 2-car garage in Suburbia. So, if you can't stand America so much, I'd rather you didn't partake so freely of American liberties and please move to Eurpoe. There you will find plenty of like-minded American-hating individuals just like yourself and you can leave me and all other Americans in peace.

all you idiot who bash the president of the USA...feel free to catch a boat to china...most of you are nothing but a bunch of fat doughnut eaters that sit behind a desk job that someone gave you because you too stupid and ignorant to get something yourself...quit leeching the freedom that many honorable men and women gave to this country...and crawl back under your rock...post your whines and cry baby antics from inside china and see how far you get.
whiners and lamers.....
