"Tolerance, charity, kindness and generosity...."
Final news post before Christmas.
Remember how the insurgents were supposed to have been routed out of Fallujah in that big assualt right after the election? So what was this all about yesterday?
And it's official - the terrorists were actually for Bush in November's election. (MSNBC.com)
Bush pisses on rules protecting the national forests. (The New York Times)
And on poor and starving countries who really need the help of rich countries like the US. Season of Goodwill to All Men, huh?! (The New York Times)
If the US bought even just one less of those hi-tech but essentially already obsolete FA-22 Raptor fighter jets like the one that crashed this week they could keep those programs going. (BBC News | Washington Times)
Well at least Bush has finally perfected the much-troubled missile defence system.
But there's not much point "securing the homeland" if your ally (and partner with you in sharing the longest unprotected international border in the world) has terrible border security. (WDIV/ClickOnDetroit.com)
"If people are really worried about keeping Christ in Christmas, they might personally exhibit tolerance and charity, kindness and generosity." Newsweek's Anna Quindlen really nails the true essence of this season and (hopefully) the final nail in the coffin of this bogus debate. (Newsweek)
