As far as Israel, #32, I was mearly making a guess to what his motivation might be, but this is no need to bash Israel.

Progress is being made in what exactly –
- the amount of deaths in the month of May?
- the amount of funds that are being?
- the amount of Iraqi’s dieing each month?
- the amount of electricity the Iraqi’s get daily?
- the amount of oil that was supposed to pay for this war?

The dancing Israelis who were caught videotaping 911 said on Israeli Tv that they were there to video the event, that proves prior knowledge. They were released and sent back to Israel by an Israeli citizen who's now Head of Homeland Security. Face it folks, less than 3% control the other 97% and we sheeple let them get away with it. Solution: All jewish owned businesses must be identified, and a countrywide boycott of those businesses must take place.
