In my view the U-nited States needs to wake up and see our president for what he is… a overly religious zealot who slips past his “handlers” every so often and lets the world see who he really is—dangerously deluded. I believe that Bush is at this very moment, begging his Lord to return soon so he can brag that he was the president who summoned God to earth.
On the day that George W. Bush was sworn into his second term as governor of Texas, friend and adviser Dr. Richard Land recalls Bush making an unexpected pronouncement.
"The day he was inaugurated there were several of us who met with him at the governor's mansion," says Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. "And among the things he said to us was, 'I believe that God wants me to be president.' Our leader, “the leader of the free world”, in my view truly believes that God acted to make him President of the United States.
He probably believes that when they get around to putting up a George W. Bush memorial in Washington DC, it’ll be taller than the Washington Monument. He also believes it’ll be a giant “Statue of Liberty-like” likeness of himself holding a crucifix in one hand and a bible in the other, blessing all who come to worship his grand effigy.
President Bush has expressed the opinion that more troops are not needed in Afghanistan, because a “kinetic action” will begin that will give him a sign in the revealing of bin Laden’s location. That means that the troops that are already there will die needlessly until he gets his “vision”.
Meanwhile, what happens after he successfully defeats the obvious enemies of Christ: the evolutionist scientists researching their stem cells, the homosexuals, the Jews, the abortionists, the Catholics and the left wing liberal Democrats.
Don’t laugh, you could be next.
God help us all.

Jet,
This sounds hauntingly familiar to Dave Nalle's Apocalyptic Fight Between Good And Evil.. Dream.
I wonder who's good and who's evil? With us or against? Right or left? It's all about sides apparently and our good President like to put us on a box with six of them. Bring on the points of light!

Martin, this news story just broke hours ago. if I swiped something by Dave I promise it wasn't unintentional...

Well Jet,
You got one point right on the money. G-D HELP YOU ALL! I do hope you mean that Jet, because it is Divine Help you guys need to survive what's coming your way.
So, strap in the seatbelts and drop a dollar coin into the machine and tr to enjoy the ride - and pray that you are alive to see the end of it. I'll also be praying. It won't be a fun ride here either...

That's what I'm afraid of Ruvy... and somehow I think it's going to cost more than a dollar...
Tantum meus sententia

P.S. Hold on tight yourself!

Ruvy...again you show yourself to be the fool that you..just this past week you announced that you are really "NostraDUMBASS" with your old testament rants and raves combined with your predictions...
I am starting to suspect that you arent in Ierale but instead you are working in that back of Moes deli in NE Philly recycling unused potato chips and eating leftover pickles...you are a fraud!

ahh, look at his cute catchphrases... nostradumbass... wow, that one's fucking clever. let's get him a prize!
yes, ruvy's religious bs is bs, just like your bs is bs, jom. you're as much a laughing stock as ruvy can be.
i got it in first.

JustOneMan...I once thought you were the artist formerly known as Bing (the current Arch Conservative), but obviously you're not. Are you Anthony Grade by any chance?

Mike, it's easy to pick out Arch, he can't spell "their" correctly to save his life, and J.O.M. while I disagree with him, at least seems to make an attempt at intelligent conversation instead of foaming at the mouth with schoolyard insults.

Aside from that Mike, what'd you think of the article... This has been a recorded announcement from Jet the article pimp...

Jet old boy: I'm no fan of George W.Bush either but the frightening thing about all this is that his opposite number, one Osama bin Laden, has the same view. He sees himself as the phrophesied cave-dwelling Mahdi of islam, the harbinger of the end times who heralds the return of Jesus, or Isa, as the Muslims call him.
In his view, this whole struggle is the countdown to the Islamic apocalypse. Enter George, and the cavalry.
Scary stuff. But as cringe-worthy as I find Bush and his deluded views sometimes, I'm inclined to agree with him just on this one: no matter how misguided our intent or actions, our Western democratic institutions (not just America's) are worth fighting for. That's why Tony Blair and our PM, John Howard, are onside - as unpopular as it is.
In my view, despite adhering to the belief that one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, depending on which side you're on, the basic human rights - particularly the right not be blown up on the bus to work or while enjoying a tropical island holiday - at issue here are fundamental to good world order.
I still can't see the logic behind the Iraq invasion, however. It's a bit like Australia being attacked by Jemaah Islamiya, the murderous indonesian friends of al-Qaeda, so then we decide to invade Burma.
Most Iraqis hated the baathist regime, but it wasn't just about regime change, was it?
A little look at Iraq's recent history and the British dirty-war experience in Iraq in the 1920s and '30s (yes, it was about oil, too! funny, that) should have given the US a few pointers as to the scope of the potential problems, not the least of which are the Sunni power vacuum and Iranian meddling and manipulation of shi'ite fundamentalists.
His intent is probably right, but Bush is taking some pretty bad advice, I reckon. The tail is certainly still wagging the dog, for the most part.
And the dog is far too silly realise. Still, I'd prefer to have George W. running the world than Osama bin Laden. It's the lesser of two evils.
13 - Jet in Columbus
Welcome STM to the fray, I however have a workable alternative... Neither. Come November 2008 I'd call that a plan.
14 - STM
STM's crystal ball: I see a Democrat triumph around that time, a landslide even, the result of dreadful handling of the Iraq campaign, although it's still all a bit fuzzy. Who will it be? Hillary?
Tony Blair will hang on as long as he can, but will be forced out by his own party before the US presidential election. However, the Labor Party will remain in power as the average Brit finds the Conservative Party and the potential for a return to Thatcherism far too frightening.
Australia, meanwhile, will elect the Labor party to government and get rid of George W's deputy sheriff in the Pacific region, Liberal Party (now there's a misnomer if ever there was one - it's to the right of Genghis Khan) leader and PM John Winston Howard, the only garden gnome in history to be elected a Prime Minister. (Jet ... does this seem seditious to you? Will STM fall foul of Australia's new Sedition Act, a piece of defunct legislation now returned after 50 years?)
Nevertheless, we will still need to be on our toes with the other mob. They ain't going away, sadly.

Nice job of balling there STM... Crystal balling that is!

Just a couple of thoughts for you folks - it is presently September 2006. November 2008 is over two years away and while America may not do a hell of a lot of changing or reordering things from November 2006 to November 2008, the rest of the world does still go round. That is over 770 sunrises in which events that none of us foresee precisely, but which many of us sense are developing, can occur.
I'm not a prophet - I'm not even a profit, but something BIG is cooking and it is not the chicken my neighbor is making for a Sabbath meal.
17 - Jet in Columbus
Shabbat shalom Ruvy. I think you spell it I-R-A-N. Either they take over Iraq, or join forces with them against the U.S.
Either way we lose.
18 - Martin Lav
I see Ruvy has is own Kinetic force pulling on him? Could it be the same energy that is pulling on Mr. Bush...religious paranoia combined with pious righteousness? What happens when two forces of good conspire together? Are there polar opposites that combust into a hellfire of hatred and egoism bent on self destruction.
To the bat cave all of us!

Looks like Bush is still waiting for his "sign" as predicted...
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO members failed to offer any extra troops for a tough peacekeeping mission in southern Afghanistan at talks on Wednesday, an alliance spokesman said.
"No formal offer were made at the table," spokesman James Appathurai told a regular news briefing. However, he said there were "positive indications" that some allies might consider providing additional forces.
It could take until a meeting of NATO defense ministers on September 28-29 in Slovenia to finalize offers for up to 2,500 extra troops requested urgently by NATO commanders to cope with daily clashes with Taliban insurgents, he added.
National defense chiefs agreed last weekend on the need to raise between 2,000 to 2,500 troops to help British, Dutch and Canadian troops in Afghanistan.
But after consultations with their capitals this week, those same officials returned empty-handed to a new round of talks at NATO's military headquarters in Mons, Belgium, despite growing U.S. pressure to send troops and equipment.
The main European governments say their forces are already stretched with deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Ivory Coast, Congo and the Balkans.
"Nations are saying they are tapped out," said one alliance diplomat.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned after talks in Canada on Tuesday that Afghanistan "could come back to haunt us" if the West once again allowed it to become a failed state.
"We left Afghanistan to its own devices," she said of a U.S. decision to abandon the country after the Soviet Union withdrew in 1989, ultimately allowing hardline Taliban Islamists to take power and harbor the al Qaeda perpetrators of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States
The German Defense Ministry said on Tuesday it would not send troops to the south, noting its existing deployment of 2,900 soldiers in north Afghanistan already took it close to a limit of 3,000 set by parliament.
Spain, France and Italy already have contingents in western Afghanistan and the capital, Kabul, and are stretched after recent troop commitments to the expanded U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon. Turkey has ruled out sending any reinforcements.
The 6,000 British, Dutch and Canadian troops leading operations against the insurgents in the south have taken almost daily casualties in the past month. NATO puts the Taliban death toll at more than 500, a figure the Taliban disputes.
NATO's supreme commander, James Jones, acknowledged last week the alliance had underestimated the strength of Taliban resistance and called for added troops, helicopters and transport aircraft. He said he expected responses within days.
Jones insisted the call for reinforcements -- including a 1,000-strong battalion of reserves -- was not a sign of panic but an "insurance package" that would help speed NATO's progress on the ground.
"We are not complacent but we are making progress. If we do not get the troops requested, this will not stop us," said NATO spokesman Mark Laity.

Excellent article, Jet, dead on and amusing if it weren't so appalling. Cripes I wish the stupid bastard would just take his anti-psychotic meds like he's supposed to & quit hitting the sauce.
You think JOM makes attempts at intelligent commentary? Jet, you must be reading someone else; everything I've ever read JOM has posted is puerile and potty-mouthed. He isn't capable of anything else, & I generally ignore him. Actually, I do think he's Anthony Grande under another name: the writing style is exactly the same - no intelligent comments, just the same old boring knee-jerk 6-year-old name calling.
21 - Michael J. West
To answer you (belatedly) on comment 11, Jet, I don't think you're capable of writing a bad article. :-)

Nancy while I never agree with him on most points I'd rather deal with an intelligent arguer (sic) than the alternative... you know who...

Michael, coming from someone whose opinion I respect, I appreciate the encouragement. Thank you sir.

Here's what those Opium Poppy sales are funding folks-Thanks to George Bush's negligence...
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Taliban militants attacked police headquarters in western Afghanistan on Thursday, raising fears that insurgents fleeing NATO attacks in the south are opening new fronts. Two police and two militants were killed.
The alliance's top commander has called for 2,500 extra troops and air support to help continue missions to end the Taliban threat quickly. But NATO members meeting in Brussels on Wednesday failed to commit more forces.
Poland said it would send at least 900 troops by February _ not immediately as NATO commanders on the ground had hoped, and not in the volatile south where they are most needed. Poland already has 100 troops in Afghanistan.
Militants in dozens of pickup trucks fired rocket-propelled grenades and surrounded the police compound in Bakwa, a town in Farah province, at 3 a.m., said Maj. Gen. Sayed Agha Saqeb, the provincial police chief.
Taliban forces held the compound for about one hour before police reinforcements arrived to push the militants out, Saqeb said. Two police and four militants were wounded.
Intense NATO-led offensives against Taliban forces in the south have forced insurgents to flee north and west into calmer areas like Farah, NATO and Afghan officials say.
Canadian-led troops launched a major operation in Kandahar province's Panjwayi district on Sept. 2, killing at least 510 militants over 11 days, NATO said. It was one of the most intense battles since U.S.-led forces ousted the Taliban regime in late 2001.
Polish Defense Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said remarks broadcast Thursday that the 900 troops would join 100 Polish soldiers already stationed in the Bagram, in eastern Afghanistan.
"As of February next year, over 1,000 Polish soldiers are going to be serving in Afghanistan," Radoslaw Sikorski told journalists Wednesday evening in Washington. "We are going to take part in operations primarily in the eastern part of Afghanistan."
A NATO spokesman in Kabul said the 900 extra troops had been expected to arrive in February as part of a routine transfer.
"We are looking at how this can be sped up," Maj. Luke Knittig said.
Thursday's raid was the second bout of Taliban violence in two days in Farah, and followed a roadside bombing there that wounded four Italian soldiers.
The early morning clash in Farah province came a day after Taliban insurgents ambushed a police patrol there, leaving four police and four militants dead.
"In some parts of Farah, we are seeing Taliban coming from Helmand and we are planning to attack them," Saqeb said Wednesday. "But we need more transportation and telecommunications equipment."
NATO spokesman Maj. Toby Jackman said alliance forces were aware insurgents could be fleeing toward Farah.
"If there is the possibility of some sort of security deterioration in the area we will get onto it very quickly," he said.
NATO has about 20,000 forces in Afghanistan, with almost half deployed in the south. Some 1,600 soldiers from a mix of nations operate in Farah.

How pathetic is it that Poland has to send help while Bush waits for his Sign from God?...
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Poland became the first country to answer a plea by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for troop reinforcements in Afghanistan, saying it will send 950 soldiers to help fight the Taliban.
``Poland understands NATO will have to be more active in Afghanistan,'' Defense Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told reporters in Washington late yesterday. ``That is why we decided to increase the size of the force.''
The troops will arrive in February, bringing the number of Polish soldiers in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, ISAF, to 1,050.
Sikorski, who is visiting Washington for talks with U.S. leaders, spoke just after a meeting of NATO commanders failed to produce formal offers for support. The alliance wants a total of 2,000 extra troops to bolster 19,000 soldiers from 37 countries already there, as well as attack helicopters and transport aircraft. NATO ambassadors will meet later today in Mons, Belgium, to discuss the issue.
U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have stepped up pressure on NATO nations to send more troops after attacks by rebels loyal to the Taliban regime, which was ousted by a U.S.-led military coalition in 2001, proved more intense than expected.
Rice Warning
Afghanistan will ``come back to haunt us'' unless it becomes a stable democracy, Rice said Sept. 12, warning that the international community will pay if it allows the country to become a failed state where Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network operates unhindered.
NATO took over operations in Afghanistan's six southern provinces from the U.S.-led military coalition July 31 and is trying to bring stability and aid reconstruction.
The Polish mission, which will be the fifth largest in the NATO-led force in Afghanistan, will cost the state budget 300 million zloty ($96 million) next year, Defense Ministry spokesman Leszek Laszczak said by phone.
Troops will be stationed at the Bagram base, north of Kabul, and ``will take care of all necessary tasks, from coordinating with civilian military staff to fighting terrorists,'' Laszczak said. Poland also has troops in Iraq.
ISAF says it has killed more than 500 Taliban rebels since Sept. 2 when it began an offensive in southern Kandahar province, codenamed ``Operation Medusa.'' Five Canadian soldiers and a member of the U.S. military embedded with Afghan forces have been killed in 13 days of fighting.
Member states gave ``positive indications'' at yesterday's meeting about providing extra troops in the future, NATO spokesman James Appathurai told reporters yesterday, without providing further information.
A meeting of alliance foreign ministers next week in New York will be followed by a conference of defense ministers in Slovenia the following week, Appathurai said.
