How To Create More Terrorists, 101 (Israeli Edition)

Let's say you're Israel. And Hezbollah fighters launch missiles into your northern cities after capturing two of your soldiers.

Istead of negotiating for their release, which you've done in the past & do a prisoner swap (Israel has about 9,000 Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, etc. prisoners & recently reportedly captured a few Hezbollah fighters), you murder HUNDREDS of Lebanese in the land of Lebanon, where the Hezbollah rockets were fired from, thus swelling Hezbollah's ranks & elevating their leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah.

Not only do you NOT gain the release of your two soldiers, but create even more hatred between Lebanon against Israel while Hezbollah continues to fire an average of 150 rockets into northern Israel each day.

That doesn't sound like a "winning" strategy to me...

Israel has done nothing but create more hatred & terrorists for later on.

There Is NO Connection Between 9-11 And Iraq!

I was talking to a nice lady at work. I asked her if there was a connection between 9-11 & Iraq & she said "yes". I asked her what the connection was. She said "terrorists". I didn't bother to ask her which terrorists were at work in Iraq prior ot 9-11 because there weren't any & there IS no connection between 9-11 & Iraq.

Even her fuhrer w. said there is no connection between 9-11 & Iraq.

And she has a son in Afghanistan. She said he was previously in Iraq. Apparently he was a gunner on a humvee. She said the tendons in his hands were pulled because of the constant firing of the machine gun, so he was operated on & sent to Afghanistan. She said he would be home for good next June.

I hope he makes home alive & in one piece...

The Iraq Mess

The righties would tell you if we left Iraq there would be "chaos"! How would you TELL? There's ALREADY chaos in Iraq! Iraq's problems were not created by the US, nor will they be solved by anyone but Iraqis themselves.

Our soldiers should not have gone there in the first place & it is time to send them home.

My Favorite Republican: Joe Lieberman

Joe's got to go!

I've made no secret about the fact that the latest Iraq war was doomed to failure. I was against the war before it began & I'm against it now.

Apparently, Sen. Joe Lieberman thinks the war was a good idea & still does. Because of that, I'm hoping Connecticut voters send him home for good in November.

Lieberman & every House & Senate Democrat who still thinks the war is a good idea do not deserve to be in Congress & should be voted out accordingly.

The bush regime has got to take Americans seriously and end the Iraq war. We know we shouldn't be there. Let's get out.
