#1 Gee... can't wait to hear about this in the media..... do you think they will mention it?

Military officials said Saturday the insurgents had not complied, and that the talks had ceased. That seemed to set the stage for possible violence later this week.

Hmm...whats that term again.... lets thing... oh yea..

Suckers!

Dont they know by now that Sadr and the 'insurgents' feel it is ok to lie to westerners?

Violence?

This is another example of how the media is slowly trying to lull the public into accepting compromises in security by stating what is rally going on is violence, not military action, something only lawyers can handle.

Very slick.

#4 Why is it that whatever Americans have to say is the truth and everyone else is lying? Its time for Americans to wake up and realize the damage idiot Bush and his cronies are causing to the Americans themselves.
It is ok for the American forces to kill innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan but it is a crime for the people of Iraq & Afghanistan to defend themselves and kill Americans in return??
This war was waged based on lies and nothing but lies. There is still no evidence of WMD that was the basis of going to war but Bush and his pet Blair still has the audacity to stand in front of the world and justify their crimes in Iraq & Afghanistan.
It is time for UK & American people to realize the folly of their Government and stop them from making this world an even more dangerous place for all.
What is happening in Iraq & Afghanistan is not military action, it is nothing but big bully trying to extend his territory and pillaging resources of other countries. This "war" has nothing to do with stemming terrorism, as this "war" is being waged by the biggest terrorist nations that the world has seen for a very long time, namely USA & UK.

#5  looks like we got one of these 'anti-war' types in today,should be amusing. I suppose all those Iraqis killed were women and children simply going about thier buisness,there are no foriegn fighters from Syria or Iran, there was no AQ link to Saddam,he never had WMD,and of course the casual brushing aside of the fact that Mr Hussain had tried to invade two of his neighbours,had attacked eight other countrys oh and ultimatly led to the death of a grand total of somewhere between 900,000 and 1.5 million not to mention.Oh yeah and musn't mention the human rights record of almost all Arab states when talking about outraged Arabs and the Abu-Grubib scandel,and just for a laugh we'll throw in the 'its all for oil' argument whilst ignoring both the fact that Arab countrys need us to buy thier oil or they'd have zero and the fact that the much vaunted U.N food for oil for money program has been exposed as a scandal of gigantic proportions,of course your type choses to ignore the truth and turn ourselves into the 'evil' ones. a tip for you, go educate yourself on the world.

#6 Saiefee - just a small comment please:

More and more Americans are beginning to simply believe the following concerning radical Islamists and those who support or encourage them - Kill em...kill em all!

Islam is a religion that worships Satan. Bush will not or believes he can not say it but this death cult worships a demon named Allah...not the God of the Bible. God descibes Jesus as His Son, the Creator of the universe. Allah describes him as just a good "man". I'll go with the Bible.

As far as your statement "This war was waged based on lies and nothing but lies", I can only ask "wasn't there two really tall towers in New York that a group of Islamofreaks brought down in the name of that great religion of peace?" The so-called war Iraq is nothing more than another battle in the War on Terror (Islam).

Go to hell Saifee. But I repeat myself...

***Fellow Ranters, a good discussion by Craig Winn (expert on the true meaning of the Religion of Peace) is available via streaming audio at israelnationalradio.com on hour 1 of the May 19th Tovia Singer show. Craig is the author of many books on Islam, and has a new book titled Prophet of Doom available for FREE now at prophetofdoom.net, is introduced at approximately the 5 minute mark of the this audo feed. Please check it out for a clear and easy to understand explanation of the cult of Islam.

The rest of us are "on about" reality.
My God isn't Allan; it's Jehovah.
And there's plenty to say that Saddam had his hand in 9/11 and had major links with Al Queda, missy!
(It's not our fault that the Leftist Media that you pore over won't mention all the various links between Saddam and 9/11 or the fact that Islam isn't the Religion of Peace but the Religion of (Leaving People in) Pieces.)

#16 I don't think so, AntiBrains.
The God I worship isn't Allan, the Islamic "god."
There is nothing I've read in the Koran about their god that makes him sound like my God, Jehovah.
Jesus said that there would be "false prophets" that came after him and I believe Mohammed to have been such a one.
Saddam was involved in 9/11--I knew it that day, but facts that have emerged since have only confirmed it.
There are numerous news stories here that document it.
And clearly the scrunchies and headbands are necessary to prevent what little brain you have from leaking out.

YOU and Antiwar are christians. That means that you are "poeple of the book". You are "mushrik".

#23 Gentle and your braindead twin Antiwar,
my God isn't "Allah"--Allah is a false god and no, "Allah" isn't an Arabic name for the One God of the Hebrews.
Gentle I don't have time to explain the Judeo-Christian God here except here's how He describes himself, "I am that I am."
He is the God of the Jews and the Christians.
He is loving and merciful and he doesn't ask us to kill non-believers.
And He promises us a lot more in Heaven than "72 virgins."
All we have to do to get there is to believe on His Son, Jesus Christ; we don't have to die committing a jihadi murder.
We are commanded to love our neighbors and ourselves.
The Bible prophesizes a lot, but it didn't prophesy another "messenger" like Mohammed therefore I find no compulsion to take the Koran seriously.

I don't remember a number being mentioned, but anyway, that is not what awaits a muslim and they are not to kill non muslims. Whoever told you that?

Your fellow Muslims have been slaughtering people since 1972 (and that's just this Century's round of murders) in the name of your religion because they claim that the Koran and Mohammed told them to do it, as Allah wishes!
But maybe your Koran--you being a weak-minded female who's judgement is clouded by menstruation, doncha know?--had that part cut out.

#33 In answer to your question Gentle. It depends if they were Israelis or Palestinians. If they were Israelis I would throw down the gun confident that they would treat me fairly, humanely, and according to the law. If it were palestinians then I would probably shoot it out, because they would as likely as not murder me, especially if they found out I was a christian.

Does that answer your question?

#52 Phil lots of Palestinians are Christians and before Jesus was born lots followed Judaism.

That's rite! We must remember that this war is mainly about the pali peoples and their quest for nationhood. Pali people have been oppressed and shoeless now since emm... uh.. 1948 since zionist entity took over their shoe factories and destroy they olive oil factory. Now pali people have to live on happy hand outs from UN and UAE. It's not right that a historically senstive people like the palis are left out of cutting the pie. Give the pali people a state! They deserve it! Most pali people are senstive and caring and very good with nitrates they should have a place in hall of nations! Palestine was a country for over 3000 years with its capital in jaffa yet no western atlas show it! Shame! Palestine was crucial in your own US civil war by givnig good thoughts and 12 hookas to the army of the potomac! Battle whine of the republic was written by a pali man! Yes! It's true! Roll over beetoven written by a proud pali man! Elvis was a known muslim! I must be gooing!

#53 Antiwar, Gentle, and other authoritarian terror-apologists here. I see that you have a habit of characterizing opponents as Bush supporters, and equating all our efforts against Islamofascism with the Republican Party.
Do you really suppose that the election of John Kerry will achieve your goals? Does he seem like someone who is sympathetic to Sharia law? Do you really imagine that he will meet the demands of the terrorists and the peace movement, such as withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, the unconditional release of Saddam Hussein, the destruction of Israel? Will he raise the minumum wage to 12.50/hr? Turn all government over to local matriarchal committees with ex-convicts and adventure-sport enthusiasts as enforcers? Jail the owners of Free Republic and Rantburg for hate speech? Turn Bush and Rumsfeld over to the International Kangaroo Court?
Is this war purely a partisan issue? You are deluding yourselves if you think it is.
We are headed for civil war in this country. It is not Democrat vs. Republican, or liberal vs. conservative, but pop-left media slave vs. Constitutionalist.
The 60s inspired left is a creation of the corrupt institutional media. The Islamofascists and their simple-minded apologists are ideal media consumer units.
The pop-left is a disease and it is about to be cured, one way or another.

#55 zpaz is choosing endings of verses. He does not write that the verse first states that Muslims should NOT fight non-Muslims unless they were the ones who start it. It then goes on to say the rest.
Also it clearly states that man should NOT kill those who are not fighting.
Also, zpaz, if you dare to say that you will "make sweet love to me", I don't know why I bother trying to have a civilized conversation with you.

What you don't believe is that Jesus was both God's only begotten Son and that he is God also.
And then there's the Holy Spirit, too, who is also God.
Belief in the Holy Trinity is integral to Christian Faith.
But wait! That would be polytheism to you, right?
God "let" his son be murdered because that is why he came to earth, to offer himself--the one who is without sin--to die for the sins of the whole world and conquer Death for all.
Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb of God who offered himself as an offering for all time and all peoples.
These are all "mysteries" of the Faith that must be revealed to your heart and soul, something you literal, violent Muslims don't seem to know a lot about.
We'll pray that you Muslims are converted to Christianity and away from that death cult of the moon good!
Check out the movie "The Passion" if they allow it in Bahrain and try to get your hands on a Bible and read it.

#57 Have you ever read the stories of the prophets?
Stories mentioned in the Quran?
About Ibrahim?
and his 2 sons?
About Jacob?
About Jesus?
About Josef?
About Moses?
About all the other prophets (Peace be upon them)?

Have you realized what they teach?

In the way that I (YES I) speak and write, what do you see?

Do you see a violent person?
Or someone who is trying to understand why YOU use such inproper words?

Do you see someone who makes threats?
Or some one who tries to reason?

Do you see someone who would stand aside while a humanbeing is raped and look the other way,
Or someone who would condemn the rapist, even if he was a muslim raping an Israeli murdress?

THAT should tell you about Islam, not what you hear and see and read, not what you were MEANT to read.

#58 Gentle, your people have been the enemies of my blood since your murderous prophet first emerged from the wilderness determined to take by fire and sword what his people could not produce themselves. The Middle East was the heart of Christianity before the murderous muslims overran it. If it was God's will for you bastards to conquer then, why should it be any less his will that you have been reduced to blowing yourselves up to kill Jews and Christians, to your brave warriors slitting the throats of helpless prisoners and shooting women and children, even babies in car seats.

The hallmark of American society is that we are willing to live and let live, but if we are roused to battle you will die. You talk about Crusaders and conveniently forget that the purpose of the Crusades was to recover Christian lands that had been overrun by your people. There is an ebb and flow to history. Your people have been in decline since they were stopped at the gates of Vienna in 1653. Keep whining and you won't like what will happen. To paraphrase the Marines, you can have no better friend than America and no worse enemy. Choose quick lest the choice be made for you.

#63 AntiBuse, you have your own little theology which I'm sure you're bishop and your priest don't appreciate (if you're really a Catholic as you say you are).
Don't confuse poor, addled "Gentle" when she can't seem to "get" how inherently violent and murderous her own religion of pieces is, even when her own "holy book" is quoted to her.
(And by the way, the word "holy" used to apply to Islamic things is completely senseless.)

"You people still live in the middle ages, or shall I say DARK ages."

then she pulls out this, a slap at scientific evolution straight out of the Dark Ages itself:

"Also don't forget that many of you believe that you used to be monkeys."

In your dark age ignorance, Gentle, you have no idea how foolish it is to invoke clairvoyant authority by trying to tell us what we believe, but answer this anyway:
How old is the Earth, in your modern, enlightened view?

#68 Me thinks jihaddies are building a new site for foreign fighters to inviltrate Iraq. Prolly using party decorations, they'll need more children on site as well as the whores. Instruments too. And a cake, prolly want to bake a new one every day and let the foreign fighters share the day old one.

The kids could spend the day chanting the koran, but they need to stay close to the foreign fighters incase an airstrike comes. The women should be dressed in traditional bedouin wedding robes, richly decorated, but still keep the laundry and toilet ship shape.

Gentle, could you tell me about apostacy laws regarding islam. From what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong, that there is a little problem, with some muslims, about denoucing the holyness or fakeness of it once you've been infected by it.

#71 Gentle, you may be one of the Muslims who respect the people of the Book, and revere the teachings of Christ -- knowing he was blessed of God. Nonetheless, you have to know that a large number of your fellow Muslims are murderous, and do what they like IN THE NAME OF YOUR RELIGION, AND USING YOUR HOLY BOOK FOR JUSTIFICATION OF THEIR EVIL ACTS AND TERROR. That is what people here are so upset about -- your culture will find no better friend, no worse enemy than the Christian West.

Antiwar, you are simply a hateful Gnostic -- a form of heresy repeatedly denounced by the Christian Church from the first century to the present. And, by the way, have you renounced your cursing and wishing ill on others who oppose your ideology? Ill-wishing seems so inconsistent with the other drivel you spout, but since you're just a Gnostic . . .

#73 Qur’an 47:4 “When you clash with unbelieving Infidels in battle, strike and overpower them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, make them prisoners in bondage until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded. He lets you fight in order to test you. Those who are slain in Allah’s Cause will never have their deeds go to waste.”

#79 Infidel Bob, Locutus, Zpaz, Jen, Phil B.,Crazy Fool, Atomic Conspiracy, Shep UK and the rest: Terrific! Lots of fun!

You know when CNN leaves off the pro-left slant, there's no chance whatsoever it was a wedding! The Islamics are losing ground.

On the spirtual topic: cingold is correct. Antiwar holds to (condemned) gnostic beliefs.

I must say, I 'm amazed by this discussion. Antiwar--the very one who curses me and others, wishing death upon us, the one who defends Islamic jihad and all it's practices, the one who masquerades as an Australian liberal, and the one who is a liar, is now going to "teach" us about Christianity and says what is and is not unscriptural. Wow. And yawn.

(Anyone else notice how syntax and sentence structure and personal expressions continue to change with these two operatives--Antiwar and Gentle? It certainly gives one pause regarding just how many Islamics are teaming up to post as "Antiwar" and "Gentle" . . . And I think the little "pat on the back" discussions they have between themselves are so cute.)

Just to clear up Antiwar and Gentle's forays into, what for them, are unknown realms of truth . . . I have included the following, below. Antiwar and Gentle: This isn't a "piece-meal" kind of thing. It's an all or nothing kind of thing. (I wonder if their "respect" would allow the following confession of faith--the basis of true belief which delineates the truth in matters of Christian doctrine. Could they confess this? Uh, no. Not possible. They'd be put out of their mosques and lose all their friends.)


THE CREED

I believe in One God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
the Only-Begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light;
True God of True God;
begotten, not made;
of one essence with the Father,
by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from Heaven,
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered, and was buried.
And the third day He arose again,
according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into Heaven,
and sits at the right hand of the Father;
and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead;
Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life,
Who proceeds from the Father;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified;
Who spoke by the prophets.

And in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.

#85 Antiwar, it's probably not a good tactic to try to quote Scripture when you don't know the Christian traditions very well .....

Just a suggestion.

And yes, I do know the Universalist / Unitarian traditions. And no, they are not within the Christian canon. Some members are very nice people, some are idiots, but neither type changes the fact that there are some basics that define Christianity and the Trinity is one of them.

Sorry bout that ....

#92 Hell folks, I don't want to get into a religious argument because I think that whole "my God is better then yours is beneath us." All I know is 19 assholes hi-jacked 4 birds and put about 3,000 innocent people in the grave. Most of these assholes happened to be Saudi and all were Muslim. Maybe they didn't represent the majority of Muslims but I didn't see too many prominent Saudi's or any other Imams, Mullahs, etc apologizing for them. In 1983, 241 of my brethren were murdered in a bombing at a certain barracks in Beirut, again by Muslims, & I still don't remember any prominent Mohammaden clergy apologizing for that one either. In the Corps silence is consent and tacit approval = approval. I don't really care what the Qu'ran, Bible, Torah, or Levay's Satanic Bible has to say on anything, all I know is 3,000 people of all races, colors, creeds, and religions died for no good reason that day but one religion was well represented in making their demise happen.

The 19 jag-off soddies on 9/11 were funded by an evil bastard named Osama (i.e. another radical islamist) who was harbored in Afghanistan by some other friendly Muslim extremists by the name of the Taliban. Cause = Effect Anti-war. GWB sent his lads to handle business, therefore, no more Taliban running the show in Afghanland.

BTW - GWB never said there was an explicit connection between Saddam & 9/11 - if some Americans are silly enough to believe that so be it, but don't blame GW anti-war. Another point - I also know the blood of about 300 Americans went into establishing the removal of Soddom out of Kuwait in 1991 thus establishing UN resolutions on WMDs and other weapons. Soddom (w/his two bastard sons who had a penchant for raping live muslim virgins) in over 12 years violated these resolutions 17 times. Now, I know we went to war under the pre-text of WMDs, no matter what *I* personnally think about that, Hussein needed to be removed for 17 violations of *UN* resolutions. Though I know the UN would never remove him no matter how much we begged due to the oil for food scam. We did remove him and the world is better off w/out that megalomaniacal piece of shit running amok.

Gentle, you seem (on the surface) to respect all religions - I hope you maintain that path. I have met good and bad people of all faiths. I personally do not care if someone's a muslim, jew, christian, zen-buddhist, pagan, or animist tree-hugger, I've led Marines of every conceivable background & have had very minor problems whatsoever due to a man's faith - simply, if you treat others w/respect you will get it in return. Hence, our country's constitution based on the wisdom of our founding fathers is peerless in most regards especially when it comes to freedom of religion. Gentle, ask yourself seriously, how do Arab governments stack up to the U.S. in religious tolerance and you have your answer. Why (if there are any) do the voices of moderate muslims get drowned out by the extremists? Why do we keep hearing about the Paleo/Israelis conflict? And yet for all their oil money, no other Arab government has attempted to financially strenghten the palestinians other then provide them w/second rate weapons and first rate hatred? Why do arabs piss and moan about abu ghraib and yet there is little condemnation of 4 contractors who were taking food into fallujah murdered and torched? How abut Daniel Pearl? Where's the outrage for a peaceful journalist and a father of an infant being beheaded by extremists? How about hapless Nick Berg? GWB apologizes to the king of jordan whose not even an iraqi for abu ghraib and yet I have not heard one strong condemnation of these atrocities toward my fellow Americans from any prominent muslim? Thus I am left w/a couple theories - 1) your clergy tacitly approve of such actions. 2) your clergy actually believes it to be sanctioned by the koran, or 3) your clergy are too f*cking cowardly to say anything for fear of repurcussions.

Sorry about the long post Fred, I'm making a bandwidth donation this week. Paypal or credit card okay?
