Not a problem... I'm not concerned here with trying to find a solution, my bigger concern is that many think there is no problem at all... I understand what you're saying, we need to apply severe pressure on all those countries that refuse to work with us... why would pakistan refuse to cooperate? It's obvious... they want to protect al quaida... this is what I'm saying, we have to stop being so politically correct, it's completely insane, we have to apply grave pressure on all nations and/or groups who refuse to work with us... it's our own security we have to protect, not theirs, except as a byproduct... we have to stop thinking of ourselves as Republicans and/or Democrats and start thinking of ourselves as Americans, and that there are those who want to come here and murder us, they already have... we need to put our better wisdom together and develop ways to eliminate this threat... there are many in Washington who think they can pick and choose whether to fight or not, but these foolish politicians fail to grasp that we didn't pick this fight, it was brought to us by murderous radical extremists, we better to pull together and destroy this enemy completely... iran will have a nuclear bomb very soon, does anyone have any clue what that really means? It means they will use it, to think otherwise is complete folly... GZ

Good News! (But did you actually have any doubts? :-) February 6, 2007 Haggard Pronounced ‘Completely Heterosexual’ By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:59 a.m. ET nytimes.com DENVER (AP) -- One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is ''completely heterosexual.'' Haggard also said his sexual contact with men was limited to the former male prostitute who came forward with sexual allegations, the Rev. Tim Ralph of Larkspur told The Denver Post for a story in Tuesday's edition. ''He is completely heterosexual,'' Ralph said. ''That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place <Ed note: Whaaa??? LOL>. It wasn't a constant thing.'' Ralph said the board spoke with people close to Haggard while investigating his claim that his only extramarital sexual contact happened with Mike Jones. The board found no evidence to the contrary. ''If we're going to be proved wrong, somebody else is going to come forward, and that usually happens really quickly,'' he said. ''We're into this thing over 90 days and it hasn't happened.'' Haggard resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals last year after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. He was also forced out from the 14,000 New Life Church that he founded years ago in his basement after Jones alleged Haggard paid him for sex and sometimes used methamphetamine when they were together. Haggard, who is married, has publicly admitted to ''sexual immorality.'' Haggard said in an e-mail Sunday, his first communication in three months to church members, that he and his wife, Gayle, plan to pursue master's degrees in psychology. The e-mail said the family hasn't decided where to move but that they were considering Missouri and Iowa. Another oversight board member, the Rev. Mike Ware of Westminster, said the group recommended the move out of town and the Haggards agreed. ''This is a good place for Ted,'' Ware said. ''It's hard to heal in Colorado Springs right now. It's like an open wound. He needs to get somewhere he can get the wound healed.'' It was also the oversight board that strongly urged Haggard to go into secular work.
