I wouldn't pat me on the head Scotty, I scratch. Bush is benefitting marvelously - as the MIC continues to reap huge profits!! Follow the money Scotty!! Who benefits!! (You may want to read something other than Steyn though...)

Gee Scotty!! I read just fine! Thanks so much for your concern!! Noted (you're still wrong in your assumption that all Jews can be blamed for the actions of Israel!) ta ta

Yes indeed it is, but the Nazis could have only dreamed of the control net and technologies employed by the current facist bushista regime! (especially the media propoganda) Certainly should make one question who REALLY benefits from all this 'terrah'! (follow the money)

ScottSA: You just gotta blame the Jews, huh? Gee Scott are you saying that all Jews everywhere on the planet are responsible in some way for the behaviour of successive Israeli Administrations over the last decades? Talk about lumping all folk together and making an absurd statement!! BTW - Not all Jews support what the Israeli Admins have been doing - in case ya didn't know (Since your above statement seems to suggest that all Jews are just fine with the occupation!) (NOT TRUE!!)

That is absolute nonsense. HRW has condemned on numerous occassions the use of suicide bombers who target civilians. You know not of what you speak. Here's an old article from 2002 from CNN: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/1...s.palestinians/ The 170-page report from New York-based Human Rights Watch assessed the suicide bombing operations of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the groups that have claimed responsibility for most recent suicide bombings. The report says the leaders of such groups should face criminal investigation. ******** I'm sure you can follow up with your own search, mine turned up about one and a half million or so the way I worded it. Or heck you could just go visit HRW yourself! IMO both sides are blatently guilty of 'war crimes'.

You have neglected to mention that this fruitcake has already been stripped of his job and forced to apologize. Egyptians themselves are embarrassed, this dude is clearly a bonehead! But don't let that stop you from furthering your smear campaign against everything Muslim! Carry on with your NON news! In case anyone is fooled by your folly, here are the google results: http://www.google.com/search?q=breast+feed....netscape:en-US

That is false. Israel has never threatened to use weapons that Israel does not acknowledge she possesses. Wrong again Dancer!! Revealed: Israel Plans Nuclear Strike on Iran "ISRAEL has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons. Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear “bunker-busters”, according to several Israeli military sources. The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the Hiroshima bomb. Under the plans, conventional laser-guided bombs would open “tunnels” into the targets. “Mini-nukes” would then immediately be fired into a plant at Natanz, exploding deep underground to reduce the risk of radioactive fallout." **** There are more, but you can dig for yourself - as I am not your nanny. Even if Israel doesn't use tactical nukes, blowing up enrichment plants that are in production will certainly result in fallout - and keep in mind much of this fallout will spread. Particulates in the atmosphere travel a long way. Iran will not be the first to strike. *if* if happens - it will be a US/Israeli pre-emptive strike. Oh and by the way Dancer - it matters not that Israel just simply lies about her own nukes - we all KNOW she has them, lots of em too. Hence your point is moot. (Not to mention plain wrong).

For those interested Putin gave an hour long press conference which was totally ignored by so called western free press: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17855.htm excerpt: One of the major difficulties today is that certain members of the international community are absolutely convinced that their opinion is the correct one. And of course this is hardly conducive to creating the trusting atmosphere that I believe is crucial for finding more than simply mutually acceptable solutions, for finding optimal solutions. However, we also think that we should not dramatise anything unduly. If we express our opinions openly, honestly and forthrightly, then this does not imply that we are looking for confrontation. Moreover, I am deeply convinced that if we were able to reinstate honest discussion and the capacity to find compromises in the international arena then everyone would benefit. And I am convinced that certain crises that face the international community today would not exist and would not have had such a dire impact on the internal political situation in certain countries. For example, events in Iraq would not be such a headache for the United States. This is the most vivid, sharpest example but, nevertheless, I want you to understand me. And as you recall, we were opposed to military action in Iraq. We now consider that had we confronted the problems that faced us at the time with other means then the result would have been — in my opinion — still better than what we have today. *click on link for full text.

Figleaf: 'Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.' *** Yes, I've maintained we could solve all the worlds energy problems by hooking up a turbine to orwell's spinning corpse!! (It must have reached warp 10 by now!!!)

jbg - kuzadd hails from Canada. She is Canadian. Unlike you, who are American. (Or is that Israeli? - or both??)

jbg: "No, I said that the Arabs would never use desert for productive purposes." Horse shit. Also, I love the way you always lump all Arabs together - oh and just a reminder Iranians are not Arabs - they are Persians. BTW - what about the Marsh Arabs? What about the early use of Hydroponics in Iraq? Predates even your precious little state of Israel! "Although there has been a lot of recent interest in hydroponics this method of growing dates back to 600 BC wuth the Hanging Gardens of Babylon located in what is now southern Iraq. King Nebuchadrezzar The Second built a series of hanging and terraced gardens to cosole his wife and remind her of her undulating and lush homeland. The king built a series of terraces which were roofed with stone on which was laid various materials in layers. Reeds, bitumen and lead were used so that inorganic water could seep through the terraces. Water was pumped to the gardens from the River Euphrates." So, again you are full of absolute bigotted horse hooey!! Does it not occur to you that people are simply just people? How can you hold a whole group responsible for the actions of their so-called leaders? Especially if that country happens not to be a representative democracy. In my view, it's pretty much only in democracies where one can hold 'part' of the population responsible. In dictatorships the people have no voice. But nevermind - as I am sure any kind of reason or logic will simply fly over your head as you are blinded by your own hatred of Muslims and Arabs.

Indeed!! It's like the world is moving backwards and we are all rushing headlong into another DARK age!

These boycotts are largely symbolic, and they are a response to the ongoing illegal occupation and oppression of the aboriginal populations of Palestine. It's not anti-semetic - get over your paranoid self delusions. Israel is NOT disliked because she is a Jewish state - she is disliked because of her actions towards those under her occupation. But go ahead jbg - spin spin spin your horse hooey.

Um yeah and do you care to mention WHY??? I believe it had a little to do with using Canadian passports (one of Mossad's favourites!!) to launch an assassination attempt in Jordan.

SOP Kuzadd! SOP!! Does this surprise you?

Well, at least Iran did sign the NPT. Unlike one particular little state who actually HAS nukes and the ability to use them - and of course has threatened to.

Hi Kuzadd, It's been known for a while about all these prisons and torture bases within old Europe. Don't expect the usual crowd here to shed a tear. For them it's fine to torture anyone who doesn't agree with their own view of things. But dear Kuzadd - please recall 'they' hate us for our freedoms! Nothing will happen to any of those who called the shots on this. It is IMO part of the whole plan to destroy the one country which could have stopped the move to global government - the US. As you know empires die from within - and sadly the US is dying right now - because of the rot and corruption over the last few decades. Very sad - not only for those caught in the crossfire (these prisoners, Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians and now Iranians) but also for the American public who has been so completely dumbed down they can't even find themselves on a world map, and especially for those Patriots left who realize who they have been sold out by their satanic leaders. Torture - no matter how one coats it - never achieves the intended goal. But what it does do is strip any kind of moral high ground claimed by those who are doing the torture and fuel the hate and rhetoric against the American people (most of whom have no idea what is really going on in their name). Keep in mind though, Canada has allowed these flights to land here and refuel - so we are just as complicit. Gone are the days where we as Canadians enjoyed a reputation of peace makers around the world. Thanks Martin, Chretien and of course Herr Harper.

Gee, and I thought you said you had put me on ignore? I was so hopeful, yet clearly you didn't.No surprise there. This exchange of sophomoric nonesence is what drives people away from bulletin board posting. You've got that right, it ads nothing to the debate, but no surprise there. The problem with putting people on ignore is that you often get to read their replies when other people quote them. No matter, it speeds up the process of scrolling by and allows you to read if you so choose. Yes scribbs , why did you start it? Then continue to perpetuate it? So how exactly is it , you are now TRYING to take the high road? Scrib´bling n. 1. The act or process of carding coarsely. Scribbling machine the machine used for the first carding of wool or other fiber; - called also scribbler. a. 1. Writing hastily or poorly. Ye newspaper witlings! ye pert scribbling folks! - Goldsmith. n. 1. The act of writing hastily or idly.

Touched by His noodly Appendage

jbg, not meaning to hijack the thread, but you might recall this as I have thought about it often since hearing the interview at least 15 years ago! It was a very interesting CBC interview with a British woman, who was autistic - though quite highly functioning. It ran for at least an hour. What I found amazing was her ability to so eloquantly express herself and relate her own experience with autism. She described in detail how colours and textures would affect her - getting lost in the varied shades and shapes of greens she viewed around her in the trees. Fascinating. I remarked to my business partner that she sounded like she was describing what is was like to be an artist. (As both of us were). I wish I could recall her name - but as I said it was years ago although I do find myself thinking of her rich descriptions often (especially when I am engrossed in my own artisitc (or should that be autistic) endeavours). Do you know who I mean? Anyway - pardon the hjack be your post vividly reminded me of that day listening to her once again! She was truly amazing - told by all her docs that she would never ever lead a 'normal' life! (She showed them!) I would agree with you that autism is certainly a 'spectrum' disease.

Actually, I think it's spelled 'deluded'... from the verb 'delude' To cause to accept what is false, especially by trickery or misrepresentation: beguile, betray, bluff, cozen, deceive, double-cross, dupe, fool, hoodwink, humbug, mislead, take in, trick. Informal bamboozle, have. Slang four-flush. Idioms: lead astray, play false, pull the wool over someone's eyes, put something over on, take for a ride. See honest/dishonest.

Ahhh the infamous 'Left' the last refuge of those who have nothing REAL to offer, just partisan bullcrap. I mention the side drilling since it was one of the excuses used by Saddam - nothing more. Learn to read.

That is one bigotted sick minded article... Replace Muslim with Jew and see how it reads. Coming from you though I am not surprised. Here's a wonderfully enlightened passage: Also forbidden in Islam: pre-marital sex, adultery, and homosexuality. This will obviously help reduce London's appallingly high rates of sexually transmitted disease. And during public executions for the guilty, vigorous aerobic stone-throwing will help build upper-body definition. Just think of it -- instead of a decadent nation of tubby gay pub sots, England will be a happy sultanate filled with believers with the hardbodies to shame Posh 'n' Becks! UK boys will have the six pack abs to impress any celestial virgin, and beneath their burqas UK girls will have the trim figures to fetch a 20-goat dowry for their families! ******* Really scraping the bottom of the barrel eh? Well not surprising since your hero is Mark Steyn the racist bigotted hatemonger.

No one is saying he WAS justified - in their opinion! Sheesh read what I wrote: Do I personally think he was justified? Well, no because I don't beleive you settle things with outright force. But yeah he was given the 'nod' or have you forgotten he was such a useful idiot for the US?

White Doors: Kuwait WAS side drilling. Do you know what that is? Did you know he was given the nod by the US' representative at the time? Was he justified? Legally? Maybe. Certainly more justified than the current US occupation of that ravaged nation. Do I personally think he was justified? Well, no because I don't beleive you settle things with outright force, I would rather give diplomacy a chance and reserve the use of military force to defense only - but hey that's me. If I were to attack however, I would make it surgical and take out only those areas which were actively stealing my oil, of course thinking I had the backing of the US might make me more meglamaniacal!
