<<Bush, just like his old man, is a spineless wimp -- who would have had to hand over his lunch money if he went to my school.>> you sound like an 8 yr old child who is ready to take his ball and go home because things aren't going his way. i find your comments contemptible. maybe you need to learn a little more about saddam's regime. i'll post another article by reuters showing that saddam has funded suicide bombers through hammas. please tell me again the story about how saddam doesn't support terrorist. please, just another bed time story. <<Bush now has killed 13 US Soldiers and Blair has killed 4 in efforts to ward off discussions about the economy.>> that blood is on the hands of hans bliz and the french. they stalled the process. how many US soldiers died for france after france previously ignored world thugs? screw the french. i'd drink MD 20-20 or Thunderbird before i'd pick up another french wine. blaming Bush for those deaths is miguided and, quite frankly, disgusting. <<What is wimpy's position on North Korea -- a real foe and a REAL threat. Nah, I know we don't go there do we?>> i believe our PRESIDENT'S stance is to work with those in the region to put further pressure on n. korea. iran and n korea will be taken care of. it's a different situation, but i'm sure you understand that. well, maybe you don't. again, your disrespect is pretty much expected from someone who is losing position on an argument. i just thought you had a little more class than to act in that manner in a time of war. again, i guess i was wrong. i don't recall you or Daschle making similar comments in 1998. as a matter of fact, at least Daschle's support for military effort at that time is of public record. he stated that the president had exhausted all diplomatic efforts and the only way to disarm saddam was through force. how about the wonderful stance in Somalia? you need to watch the movie, Blackhawk Down to understand just how Clinton abandoned military personel and was directly responsible for deaths. <<Bush is too arrogant to recognize this -- his super-insulated Bible belt mentality won't allow him to see beyond his own kind and inherited thinking.>> you're the worst kind of biggot. one who doesn't recognize it. replace "Bible belt" with African American, Jewish, Native American, or Muslim.... your elitist attitude is disgusting. <<We will be dealing with this mess now for 20+ years to come with countless innocent lives lost directly and indirectly.>> nice call. there has been a "mess" in the middle east for countless centuries, and you believe any mess in the next 20+ years will come from the liberation of people under a cruel dictator. brilliant deduction. <<The financial costs will prove staggerring -- as Bush will now use this as the reason why we have such significant deficits (with some truth -- now that its just started.)>> nothing like being a revisionist. how many recessions and economic cycles does the US have to endure before you realize that the steeper the economic upturn, the steeper the downturn? lay some blame on the the euphoric late 90's, and please don't forget when the downturn occurred. i'm sure you haven't forgotten a few of the minor incidents that occurred over the last 2 years, either. <<The mistake that most American's will make is that we will be victorious and simply be done with the country and the region per se' -- but the insanity and foolhardiness will only have just begun.>> good thing there are elitists such as yourself to know better. <<The definition of insanity is to repeat the same behavior over and over again -- and expect different results. lil' Georgie never grew/matured beyond his family dynamics.>> while your assertion is a joke, i do often wonder if Ted Kennedy's kids will grow up to be murdering lushes, as well....

Hamas Urges Iraqi Suicide Attacks on US-Led Forces 35 minutes ago By Nidal al-Mughrabi GAZA (Reuters) - The militant Islamic groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad urged Iraqis on Friday to carry out suicide bombings against invading U.S. and British forces in Iraq (news - web sites). Thousands of Palestinians also voiced their anger over the U.S.-led war in Iraq by protesting across the West Bank and Gaza Strip (news - web sites). Some demonstrators urged Iraq to attack Tel Aviv -- as it did, with Scud missiles, during the 1991 Gulf war (news - web sites). "Iraqis should prepare explosive belts and would-be martyrs (suicide bombers) to combat the U.S. occupiers," senior Hamas leader Abdel Aziz-al-Rantissi told Reuters in the Gaza Strip. "The American aggressors, the American invaders are now on Iraqi soil, therefore, Iraqis must confront them with all possible means, including martyrdom (suicide) operations." Hamas, which is sworn to Israel's destruction, has spearheaded a suicide bombing campaign which has killed hundreds of Israelis since interim peace accords were signed in 1993. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the group's spiritual leader, later echoed Rantissi's call for suicide attacks and urged the Iraqi people "to destroy every tank, to kill every soldier." The Islamic Jihad, another militant group that has carried out suicide bombings against Israelis, also took up the call. "We urge all fighters...to advance in their explosive belts toward the invading forces, to blow up their blessed bodies amid the new aggressive crusader forces," it said in a statement sent to Reuters in Beirut. IRAQI SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) has given payments of $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers who have carried out attacks against Israel since a Palestinian uprising for statehood began in September 2000 after peace negotiations became deadlocked. the payouts have run into millions of dollars. Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets on Friday, the second successive day of protests against the U.S-led war. "Oh Saddam, oh beloved, strike, strike Tel Aviv," protesters chanted during a march by about 4,000 people in Gaza City. Many demonstrators waved Iraqi flags and others carried portraits of Saddam. One slogan being chanted in Gaza demanded an Iraqi attack on Tel Aviv with chemical weapons. Thirty-nine Scud missiles hit Israel during the 1991 U.S.-led Gulf war to oust Iraqi occupation forces from Kuwait, all carried conventional warheads. Palestinians also protested in the West Bank cities of Bethlehem, Ramallah, Qalqilya and Bethlehem, and in Khan Younis and Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Those protests ended peacefully but Israeli police used teargas to break up a protest in Jerusalem by several dozen Palestinians who chanted: "With our blood and our souls we will redeem you Iraq." No one was hurt or detained, police said. "It is a war between the unbelievers (the United States and Britain) and the Muslims in Iraq and everywhere. Silence is a sin," said Amin Saeed, 26, in Gaza City. Hajj Hussein, an elderly Palestinian from Jabalya refugee camp in Gaza, said: "I am saddened and shocked by the scenes of bombardment of Iraq. I feel it because our homes and camps are subject to similar attacks by the Jews here." Um Adel, a woman holding an Iraqi flag in Gaza City, said: "Saddam is the only honest and heroic Arab leader. All the others are cowards and collaborators with the Americans."
