Just keep spewing the crap, Nadine, that's what you're good at. What the heck, this particular desultory train does have it all over the Iran warmongering, because I guess there's still a chance that that could happen. I actually looked up the North Korea thing, they were supposed to have bought 20 centrifuges from Pakistan. Maybe they could have gotten enough HEU to make a bomb in 200 years or so. There was also a deja vu all over again thing about them buying aluminum tubing, I guess W's warmongers never met a propaganda line that didn't bear repeating. You may now continue with whatever war propaganda line you're into these days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but I have a feeling no matter how hard you work at it, W just doesn't have it in him to start another war in the next 14 months, no matter how much you and Cheney might want it.

As anybody rational can see by the fact that North Korean plutonium showed up in a Syrian nuclear bomb plant via a ship whose cargo was marked "cement." Where did you get this information? Did you pull it out of you ass? You clearly don't believe the CIA. OH! yes yes the Israelis said so. Are those the same Israelis that provided information about WMDs in Iraq? Or are those the same Israelis that provided information about 9/11 attacks? Come on Nadine, you are a war whore and you want war with Iran and you say what ever it takes to get it.

Hey Nadine, if you want war with Iran, why don't you let the Israelis do it alone? Why should the US carry another Israeli adventure? The US owes Israel nothing. If you are so wanting war, go to Israel, join the IDF and fight for Israel. However, I can only guess why Israel will not do it alone, there will be no Israel after that. You and your Zionists friends know it. So stop being a war whore and concentrate on getting the Americans from from the shit that they are in. Americans do not trust the the neocons, the Zionist and the Israel.

NBC Reverses Course, Agrees to Air Troop 'Thank You' Ad Saturday, December 08, 2007 WASHINGTON — NBC reversed course Saturday and decided to air a conservative group's television ad thanking U.S. troops. The ad, by the group Freedom's Watch, asks viewers to remember the troops during the holiday season. NBC had refused to air the ad because it guides viewers to the Freedom's Watch Web site, which NBC said was too political. But in a statement issued Saturday evening, NBC said: "We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom's Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday." NBC' head of standards and practices, Alan Wurtzel, notified Freedom's Watch's media consultant Saturday by e-mail, writing: "This will confirm that the Freedom's Watch spot is approved for air." NBC initially said that airing the spot would violate the network's prohibition on controversial issue ads. Wurtzel, in an interview Friday with The Associated Press, said NBC found nothing wrong with the ad's content, but rather objected to the link to freedomswatch.org, viewing the Web site as too political. Related The group's home page is critical of liberals and has a link to a page urging lawmakers not to "cut and run" from the war in Iraq. The home page also links to another Freedom's Watch page dedicated to ways to assist the troops and provides links to organizations that send care packages to soldiers. News of NBC's initial rejection caused an angry reaction on the Internet. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, appearing on the Fox News Channel on Friday, called for a boycott of NBC. Freedom's Watch, a group backed by wealthy Republican fundraisers, has emerged as one of the best-financed conservative groups. It seeks to be a vocal advocate of President Bush's current policy in Iraq.
