im more concerned with lives than money myself... believe it or not there are more important things. i agree with toast, stop focusing so much on how bad the situation is and try to seek a solution. When it gets resolved THEN we can address other issues. Lets try to avoid making the mistake of acting before thinking things through.


Again, make the mistake again.noway huh


mmmkay, so lets say it was a mistake... How does that change what i said?

i was more being sarcastic. i believe that the folks responsible for this whole mess should be brought in front of congress and questioned, and possibly even taken to some judiciary stuffs.

but yes, we need to find a solution while doing that. finger pointing needs to come to an end, respoinsible parties need punishment, and resolution needs to be found

i dont see how congress isn't just as guilty...Besides you know and i know regardless of the truth they would do what they could to crucify him to get the attention off themselves. But i wouldn't be against a FAIR investigation. Never been against questioning our government's judgement, it's our job as citizens. But the investigation should be unbiased

We are there for the gold,
there for the oil
there to protect Israel.


is that what your cards told you?...

it's the first time I heard gold is in Iraq but I do know that the only ones making money from Iraqi's oil is the Iraqi people...and I have no idea how you think Israel is involved.....maybe you didn't shuffle your cards well enough...noway



laugh laugh laugh

huh Israel is ALWAYS involved.

The gold was there, but it has been removed. The currency that was used in Iraq before we invaded, was backed by gold. Now, it is just paper credit money. The gold was taken out.

There is nothing wrong with finger pointing. Someone is to blame, but they never point the finger at the right person. I say find those people and point your fingers at them.

Meanwhile, stop paying taxes, cause you know where that money is going. LOL

I doubt that "WE" got any of the gold. "THEY" got it.
The gold went to the few men who control the world, and the wars and the banks. All "WE" get is the worthless paper money and mountains of dept.

Do you think there is any gold left in the U.S Treasury? It is all gone. Our dollar has no gold to back it.

that is a bit of a stretch

not saying you are wrong

but is a stretch

after all if anyone has all of anything

then it is no longer of value

and many other things are worth more than gold

News concerning Iraq and Israel...

During a short verbal exchange Wednesday at the Ben-Gurion Airport Terminal, Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger thanked President George W. Bush for the US's military intervention in Iraq.

"I want to thank you for your support of Israel and in particular for waging a war against Iraq," Metzger told Bush, according to the chief rabbi's spokesman.

Bush reportedly answered that the chief rabbi's words "warmed his heart."

Metzger's stand on the Iraqi war, while reflecting the Israeli majority and Orthodox Jewry, is not shared with most US Jews. The American Jewish Committee's annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion, published last year, found that 70 percent of US Jews disapprove of the Iraq war, with 28% backing it.

No, I don't think THAT STATEMENT proves anything. I have much much more than that. (Iraq and surrounding countries are all a threat to Israel.) Yes, they want a friend there with troops. America supports Israel. You cannot get around that fact.

P.S. the second statement was not bolded simply because it has nothing to do with my point. I am not trying to say that ALL JEWS support the war in Iraq. They don't.

You sure seem fascinated about my reading tarot cards. Does that make you uncomfortable or are you trying to ridicule my hobby?
