It's the old shell game, folks

At the American Legion's national conventiion yesterday, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld attacked those who questioned the war in Iraq. He said Iraq was the "epicenter" on the war on terrorism. Hey, Dummy, er, Rummy, you guys caused the war in Iraq. You guys opened the door for the terrorists to come into Iraq to kill our troops. It was the old shell game in the beginning and now you're trying the shell game again. The administration wants link the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to the war in Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. That is a proven fact!

More spin than a Maytag dryer

Bush declared Monday that Hezbollah was the loser in the month-long battle with the Israeli Army. George, do you really think that?! If so, that's more spin than a Maytag dryer. Back in the 1967 War, it was Israel that was the David to the Arab states' Goliath but now the tables have turned. And Hezbollah is still standing after a month in which Israel has decimated the land and livlihood of the Lebanese. But much more important, Israel's failure to deliver a knock-out blow to Hezbollah has given that organization greater cache in the Middle East, if not around the Muslim world. And Israel's devestation of southern Lebanon has converted thousands upon thousands of Lebanese into Hezbollah supporters. And Israel's unquestioning, unswerving supporter, the United States --- the folks who gave Israel the military hardware --- is also looked upon as a loser. George, Hezbollah is now cleaning up physically in southern Lebanon and cleaning up politically --- for the hearts and minds of the people --- everywhere in the Middle East.

The misguided sheep

The evangelical Christians -- not really Christians at all -- are supporting Israel in the conflicts in the Middle East because they believe that by supporting Israel they can affect the Second Coming. In short, they believe they can tip God's hand. They believe they know when the Second Coming will be. But I say they're not really Christians because if they were they would believe God's Word: "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." - Luke 12:40, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come." Mark 13:32-33
