Yeah, ridicule, and snicker at the stupid goy. Is that all you got?

So who made all those movies depicting Arab terrorists? Scotsmen? Native Americans?

In Hollywood, if it's a terrorist, it's an Arab. Who are Israel's enemies? Arabs.

Anti-Americanism is everywhere, sorry eh.

Is it still controversial to say that Jews have a lot of influence in Hollywood? Probably.

Have a look at this, a compilation of "Arab Terrorists" in the movies.

Where's the thriller about the Lavon Affair?

Man those Muslims are bad bad people. We have to kill them.

We need to stop Afghanistan from becoming a training ground?

911 was planned in Hamburg and Pakistan.

Hasan planned his little mission in his apartment in Texas.

Syria, the Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, Indonesia, are all places where "training" takes place, shall we occupy them?

You do realize that even now, 80% of Afghanistan is NOT under the control of the coalition forces? I assume some "training" is going on in those areas.

A better question for you Joe, is why do they hate you? Why? Could it be because of US policies? Why don't "they" hate the Swedes, or the Mexicans; both of whom do just fine thank you, without occupying anyone?

Really, very few buy that nonsense about stopping Al Qaida from setting up training bases in Afghanistan.

I am still waiting to here your plans for withdrawal from Japan, whom I can assure you, DON'T WANT YOU THERE!

Do you want a detailed plan? I will need a week or two!

Me, I am still waiting for the "exit strategy" from Germany - 70,000, Korea - 29,500, and Japan - 47,000 (just to name a few).

It is possible that Obama is pursuing an exit strategy. I still haven't completely made up my mind on whether Obama buys this militarist shit, or he is under the influence of dark, hidden forces.

Militarily, withdrawal is certainly possible. When the Brits withdrew in Iraq, they even made a deal with the Iraqi Maquis, to not shoot at them as they "cut and run".

I am sure that the Taliban would be happy to play pipes and drums for you as you march over the horizon.

Politically, who cares? I know they would have his guts for garters, but he is a one termer anyway, so why not stop the slaughter and stop it now? You'll never convince me that he could if he wanted to.

As for the news, UT and me are all about deconstructing the "news". Most of what passes for news is propaganda, you know that. So when I read that Obama is considering this or that, well, that's great, but what matters, is actions, not speeches, not words. Action!

Well. You are a regular child of the universe aren't you?

If all men were brothers, would you let one marry your sister?

Desiderata - by Max Ehrmann

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann c.1920

You said, "perhaps" Obama is pursuing an exit strategy.

Perhaps.

Do you have any evidence of that? I see troop increases. I see warrior talk. I see blood everywhere. I see talk about attacking Iran from his client state, Israel. I see an INCREASE in Predator attacks in Pakistan. I see creepy photo ops as he contemplates the victims of HIS war.

There was some talk about closing Gitmo and pulling out of Iraq.

So where is the exit strategy?

Seems to me it was Elisha that called in that "bear strike" when he "cursed them in the name of the lord".

And yeah, I do have a "problem with my maker", if there is such a creature floating around up there, he is no friend of mine, he's a serial killer.

Who said anything about Jews?

It's not just Jews who believe in the old testament, it's all you maniacs.

My maker! Pshaw!

Very touching story about Arlington, brilliant propaganda.

If Obama really wants to honour the dead, he should stop killing.

Now that I would find touching.

Tribalism is a disease.
