>>sounds like you have some miss directed sympathy. foley must pay dearly for the sins he has committed. in addition to his homosexual sins, he was preying on underage boys. i agree with the democraps that house speaker dennis haster should also get canned. you know he is in it up to his ears when it comes to turning his head knowing what foley was trying to do to our youths who were away from parental control.<< Jim - I don't have any sympathy whatsoever for Foley. He is not only a sexual predator, but a major hypocrite, too. I just don't think that it's up to you or me to punish people for sins. If something is a "sin", let God deal with the sinner. If something is against the law, the legal system should dish out the punishment. - Allen

you know he is in it up to his ears when it comes to turning his head knowing what foley was trying to do to our youths who were away from parental control. It goes way beyond that. The Republican leadership didn't just look the other way. When Foley wanted to leave Congress, Karl Rove actually threatened him. Rove told him to run for office again, OR ELSE! tnr.com Tom

looks like you're losing control of ALL the allies.... British Army Chief Wants His Troops Out of Iraq From the Associated Press October 13, 2006 LONDON — The new head of Britain's army called for a withdrawal of British troops from Iraq, warning that their presence made security problems worse, according to an interview published Thursday. Gen. Richard Dannatt called British Prime Minister Tony Blair's Iraq policies naive. Although Iraqis might have welcomed coalition forces after the ouster of Saddam Hussein, he said, the goodwill has evaporated after years of violence. ADVERTISEMENTThe British military should "get ourselves out sometime soon because our presence exacerbates the security problems," Dannatt said in an interview with the Daily Mail released on the tabloid's website. "Whatever consent we may have had in the first place" from the Iraqi people "has largely turned to intolerance," he said. The British government has not set a timetable for the withdrawal of its 7,500 troops in Iraq. The Defense Ministry responded to Dannatt's interview by saying: "We have a clear strategy in Iraq. We are there with our international partners in support of the democratically elected government of Iraq, under a clear U.N. mandate." Blair's office referred all questions to the Defense Ministry. Analysts said Dannatt's comments were certain to infuriate Blair, who is President Bush's key ally in the Iraq war. It is highly unusual for a sitting British military commander to publicly criticize the government's foreign policy.
