''God Allah the most merciful, the most compassionate...''

There. Sounds better in the original, dunnit?

As for the cover-up, I am part of a group of men who covered up for abusive brother priests.

Is Greeley offering up an admission of guilt here?

Greeley was on Donahue's old show back in the mid 80s, saying that when the number of priests who had abused minors was revealed, along with the number of bishops who covered for them, the Church in the US would be shaken.

He was right. And, yes, Greeley didn't blow the whistle on any of these guys, either, though he very well could have.

Of course not. He will claim that he was a voice crying in the wilderness on the issue.

If confronted for evidence to back up this claim, he will give you a B. Dalton coupon for remaindered copies of his romance novels.

>>>God, our Muslim brothers remind us, is the merciful and the compassionate<<<

Our Muslim 'brothers' also remind us, daily, that if we do not submit to the doctrine of the cult called Islam we will be killed by them, our Muslim 'brothers'.

It's funny. The fires hadn't died in the the rubble of 9-11, before libs were making excuses for the terrorists, asking what we had done to cause such ill-will and hatred.

So let me ask--what did that community in Haditha do that might have led to Marines to react as they did? What did that rat's nest of Al-Qaida and Saddamists do?

Remember, America carries the new age white man's burden. Meaning, we have to act perfectly in an imperfect world, or we will be seen as hypocrits. I don't subscribe to this, but the media and every whining wantabe does. I am an objectivist. My question is can these 7th century retards progress enough to take advantage of the gift of liberty and decency delivered by the US to their doorstep. If the answer is yes, then great. If the answer is no, then we will be fighting a much larger and meaner and violent war with these chowder heads in 20 years time. As the Pulp Fiction quote goes, "I'm going get medieval on their ass."

Therefore, we do not make moral judgments on morality of others.

We won't be judging you for all of that soft core porn you've churned out over the years or your failure to faithfully live up to your promise of celibacy, while you've been masquerading as a Priest, Andy. We'll leave the eternal state of your soul up to God, too.

The Marines of 2006 are not the conscript army of the 60's.

Points of fact: 2/3 of those who served in the Vietnam era were volunteers. 2/3 of those who served in WWII were draftees.

2,400 Americans died in a war?! Oh, my gawd! 2400! This is unprecedented! If an American dies, it's time to surrender. But 2,400?! This is the most horrendous, deadly war we have ever lost.

b>This is the first war that we have liberated more territory and freed people, all the while lost fewer soldiers then what were killed on 9/11. This war is pure genius, but Bush is an absolute dimwit conveying this point, thus allowing liberals to trash the war and endangering our fighting men, and loosing the war for the hearts and minds at home!

President Bush made the mistake of assuming that the American people are not children who have no sense of history. He was wrong.
