It's the oil production!

Oh, wait a minute. Never mind.

How many "high tech schools and hospitals" have actually been built? How
many are needed?

I would venture to say that at times torture of prisoners is the only

option
left available. Its not pretty, but wounds heal. If the torture of a few
people leads to saving of a couple hundred lives, I believe the end
justifies the mean.

I also believe it depends on who you talk to about how well things are
going. If you are only getting your info from the daily news, you are
getting a description of the whole picture, just the details of a part of

it
that they find interesting.

The biggest problem I have with our involvement in Iraq, is how we are
rebuilding it. We are building high tech schools and hospitals that could
be used by the people that are paying for them over here.



Benjamin,

This is an opportunity for an epiphany on your part, a way to check on what
you know, how you inform yourself and what you think about the Iraq mess.
You said your biggest problem was . . . "rebuilding...". Then you should
know that the US has stopped its rebuilding program in Iraq.

Ask yourself this . . . Why did you not know this when you wrote your post?
Does this have any relevance to the validity of your thinking about Iraq?
Why didn't you know this?

Dave

Yeah, Benjamin, why weren't you consulting Davie of Arabia's about the REAL
story as to what is going on in the Middle East...the Colonel knows, the Colonel
knows...now ask him about the Jews...
