No one has exterminated these religious jackasses over the centuries so far. Do we think we can? At least they follow their teaching to the letter and attempt to exterminate all of the nonbelievers. Do the Christians and Jews follow their teachings to the letter? Read Deut. Chapter 13 and ask yourself, how devout am I? How many of your household have you cut their throats?
As a Christian, this is one of the teachings of the Scripture which I believe is in ERROR in relation to the teachings of Jesus.

My boyfriend is a Marine, I am scared to death that he will be deployed and killed over there, but I also think that the services men and women over need the back up, so I'm conflicted on what the Government should do. I do think President Obama is doing the right thing by taking his time to make sure if this is what really needs to be done. No rush decisions should be made on this, these are peoples lives we are talking about.

I believe we should as Nation Put enough troops in Afghanistan to get the job we started done right and as quickly as possible.
We should not tuck tail and run with a job left undone as we did in Vietnam, Which was begining of our downfall and lose of respect

I think the white house is to busy selling the health care to the american people and don't care much about this war and do not care much about the American lives that we are loosing. Don't believe a word the president says on this health care issue it's a scam.

My husaband is in the military and has been deployed 3 times. From what he has told me about his deployments I think that we need to give the soldiers in Afghanistan the support they need but the government needs to make sure they are using the troops they already have there wisely. Use the soldiers to do thier jobs and then use the volunteering contract workers to do other non military jobs such as building things on base. My husaband spent a year in Afghanistan and spent half his time there building sea huts on one of the bases, not preforming his military job.

My husband is in the military and has been deployed 3 times. From what he has told me about his experiences I think that we need to give the soldiers in Afghanistan the support they need to take care of buisness,yet the government needs to makes sure they are using the troops that are currently there are being used wisely. My husband spent a year in Afghanistan and half of it was spent building buildings on one of the bases, not preforming his military trained job. There are contract workers who volunteer to go overseas who can build buildings, so let the soldiers use their training to get this war over and stop wasting time.

How many times does our nation have to send tens of thousands of troops to another country to for a cause which cannot be won?

We lost over 58,000 in Viet Nam, over 4,000 thus far in Iraq, and now the death toll is rising in Afganistan!

What's the objective? To make the Afganistan people stop growing opium? To stop Al Queda, which Bush could'nt do in eigth years?
Or to keep the U.S. military industrial complex up with lots of money for weapons?

The American people need to get our priorities straight. All of that money for war needs to come back home for billions in money we could spend here for everything from more jobs in green industries to health care for those who can't afford it.

Please bring our troops home, along with all of our money and resources spent over there!

When Generals on the ground, Not on Dave Letterman, ask for more ground troops!!!There should be no problem. Send them. Our President has no military experience to second guess Generals.

I dont think they should send no more of our young men and women over there. If they wanna send the troops some help, send ALL these KILLERS they have on death row over there, let them kill ALL they want to, save the tax payers money and get rid of some of the over crowding in the prisons. Let them go over there, instead of sitting their LAZY butts in A/C, playing in the gamerooms, watching T.V, living the easy life compared to our young men and women that are over there.

The president is a liar. He campaigned on bringing the troops home from Iraq. Lies. He is nothing but a puppet of the globalist, banker,war mongering scum that have controlled this country since they killed the last real president in '63. People need to wake up and see who is really running the country. The political scam that we have in this country makes me wretch. Afghanistan = Heroin. Remember..on 911 most of the hijackers(if you believe that fairy-tale) were Saudis.. when do we attack?

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aquarius

You won't like it if you feel your wings are being clipped today. You want to do something in particular, only to discover that someone is objecting to your plans or that circumstances beyond your control are standing in your way. Although your instincts tell you to throw a tantrum to get your point across, you must ask yourself what this will achieve, and whether it will actually be self-defeating.
