Did One Woman's Obsession Take America to War?

What about Hillary Clinton's order to Madeleine Albright to bomb Kosovo? Were the Orthodox there threatening U.S. security?

Iraq is a good beachhead for the WOT and Americans would rather it be fought there than in North America. There were hundreds of reasons for taking out Saddam and many were espoused by previous administrations of both parties.

PS - True Orthodoxy values love over obedience and as your tag line offends unnecessarily, it is difficult to believe that you are anything other than a belligerent.

Ultimately, your last statement is true: God is God and can do what He wants. But, with all due respect, your conclusion that God is not good or that He lacked foresight show a lack of insight on your part.

Do you know how something can appear totally slam dunk in a certain way until you hear the other side of the story? I can think of several possible reasons that God had the Israelites kill whole towns, including men, women, children, and even the animals. Just one is that there may have been an AIDS-like or Black Plague-like infestation that would ultimately doom even the Israelites. Whatever the reason, we can trust that God made the right decision.

Regarding Jesus, God knew that we were going to sin and need a savior. He planned from before the beginning of the world how to save it. That shows how much he loves us. Why does He love us? I don't know; but I'm sure glad that He does.

The Bible says that none of us are good, no not one. If you search your heart, you will realize it. Even the nicest person in the world is sometimes petty and mean. But, the good news is that Jesus' shed blood washes away the sins of anyone who turn to Him as their Savior and Lord.

Weapons of mass destruction have been found. The press just isn't interested.

Isn't that the truth! I've read at least a dozen articles about (some) WMDs being found in Iraq from odd and end news sources (Polish military, etc.), but the information doesn't fit the MSM's agenda, so . . . no coverage. And then the MSM wrings its hands that readership is down. They have destroyed themselves by destroying their own credibility.

P.S. speaking of the two nitwits, that Bergen cites in his article

Then the author quotes from such paragons of accuracy as Richard Clarke and Vince Cannistraro. The

Anyone that is paying attention can point to (In addition to Perle and Wolfowitz, who have access to far greater degrees of information) Jim Fox, who was the lead FBI investigator in the 93 WTC bombing, and Jim Woolsey who actually Led the CIA during the X42 administration, as supporting her claims.

Bergen and the NAF are little more than Leftist trash, whose idea of a 'Liberal Think Tank' is less thinking and more deconstructing. (I.E. Don't make claims that something is incorrect, do the f*ng research, and give us a correct answer, obviously they can't...)
