    Living in an apartment that requires two strands of lights to encircle the patio door, and having an inquisitive dog that requires a tree no bigger than a Norfolk pine in a pot, kept well out of his reach, yep, I’m done with the trimmings :)

    Well, so far I have 30,000 fewer lights outside than the tree in Rockefeller Center, but it’s early yet!

    EXCLUSIVE: Iranian Weapons Arm Iraqi Militia

    No this is not a joke, I was even shocked that this was coming out from the MSM.

    WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2006 — U.S. officials say they have found smoking-gun evidence of Iranian support for terrorists in Iraq: brand-new weapons fresh from Iranian factories. According to a senior defense official, coalition forces have recently seized Iranian-made weapons and munitions that bear manufacturing dates in 2006.

    This suggests, say the sources, that the material is going directly from Iranian factories to Shia militias, rather than taking a roundabout path through the black market. “There is no way this could be done without (Iranian) government approval,” says a senior official.

    But we should just “talk” to them.

    Open a dialogue.

    I can hear Iran’s “president” laughing at America’s idiocy and weakness. We are losing the war within, not on the battlefield.

    When they say the US is a paper tiger, they might get proven right, because I wonder if we just lack the will to finish what was started. No staying power.

    Our men and women in the military have the will, but I really get the feeling that our government, or at least portions of it, have no spine.

    And the terrorists just laugh.

    Americans criticize christianity, the bible, Jesus, ect, but seem to bow and scrape to islam nad muslim practices.

    When did one religon become more important than another?
