where in that slime filled hole you call a head did you ever get the idea that I am happy to "ship our youth to their deaths in a foreign land". It is clear we WILL be there for a while, at least until the Iraqi government gets established, so IMO, your constant nattering and sniping only serves to help the enemy, and does NOT help our military. You walk away from Iraq now and you will be sorry. BTW, why not get off your unborn killing kick, you really are starting to look like a loser abortionist.

"Bad news in Iraq means" more dead americans. Unfortunately. 15 more American soldiers killed when Iraqis blew up a helicopter. iht.com "Villagers near the site of crash said they were happy that the helicopter had gone down and that U.S. soldiers had died." That's not nice, is it? Whatever happened to the "flag waving Iraqis greeting Americans with flowers"? Could it be that they have gone to never-never land to join "WMDs", "capacity for deployment of nuclear weapons in 45 minutes", and other such fantasies?

And now, on a lighter note: Bested By Boars? The head of the Hebrew Battalion in Israel thinks the guard dogs and men who police Jewish settlements aren't quite up to snuff. Kuti Ben-Yaakov suggests a legion of "guard pigs" be trained to secure West Bank settlements. Ben-Yaakov praises pigs for their acute sense of smell, insisting porkers could sniff out weapons and identify terrorists. "Moreover, this animal is considered to be dangerous by Islam and, according to the Muslim faith, a terrorist who touches a pig is not eligible for the 70 virgins in heaven," said Ben-Yaakov. The Yesha Rabbinical Council has approved the swine brigade, but critics dismiss the idea as hogwash. "Spare us from this nonsense," said one settler spokesman. "It will never happen."
