		<description><![CDATA[Rebuild America First, by Merle Haggard....the Music Video is playing for free on his website...

&lt;a href=&quot;http://merlehaggard.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://merlehaggard.com/&lt;/a&gt;

Why don&#039;t we liberate these United States,
We&#039;re the ones that need it worst.
Let the rest of the world help us for a change,
And let&#039;s rebuild America first.

Our highways an&#039; bridges are fallin&#039; apart:
Who&#039;s blessed an&#039; who has been cursed?
There&#039;s things to be done all over the world,
But let&#039;s rebuild America first.

Who&#039;s on the Hill and who&#039;s watchin&#039; the valley?
An&#039; who&#039;s in charge of it all?
God bless the army an&#039; God bless our liberty,
And back dump the rest of it all.

Yeah, men in position are backin&#039; away:
Freedom is stuck in reverse.
Let&#039;s get out of Iraq an&#039; get back on the track,
And let&#039;s rebuild America first.

Why don&#039;t we liberate these United States,
We&#039;re the ones who need it the most.
You think I&#039;m blowin smoke? Boys it ain&#039;t no joke.
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast.

I&#039;m going to ask you not to comment on my site ever again.  I&#039;m also in the process of banning you. Do not respond to this comment.

Do the world a favor:  get a brain, develop a conscience, and learn to read and write.  And cease commenting on anything until you&#039;ve completed those tasks.

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Merkel: &quot;...if Israel didn&#039;t hurt Hezbollah, and Hezbollah really &quot;WON,&quot; well, we wouldn&#039;t be having Sheik Nasrallah regretting the whole sordid affair, admitting to the public that he&#039;d have never kidnapped the Israeli soldiers in the first place if he had known the consequences, now would we?&quot;

Oh poop! More of the neo-con from the Fox News/Bush2/Israeli Lobby spin machine.

What N&#039;s statement means is what most of the world has been saying---that Israel had no justification for attacking Lebanon. Border skirmishes like this have been committed by Israel and Hezbollah back and forth for years. Israel was not justified in taking this military action at all.

Of course, all this is merely distraction for the more problematic issue for Israel--why did it make war on innocents instead of the Hezbollah militia who did the attacking.

Merkel, Irael is engaged in a hopeless effort to shovel their horse-manure against the stable of evidence that is overwhelming.

Israel has been making this sort of war against civilians for years in the Palestinan reservations. The only difference is that THIS war was on display on the mainstream media for everyone to see.

Despite the non-stop pro-Israel commentary in the background, the American People saw for themselves the needless suffering that Israel was inflicting on old people, sick people, people so poor they had no money or means of escaping.

The evidence proves this this war was not about Hezbollah at all. I&#039;ll bet dollars against donuts that this war was a vain attempt to incite Syria and Iran to intervene. It was about jumpstarting the &quot;war on terror&quot; that is bogged down in the quaqmire of Iraq. It was about laying the groundwork for an invasion of Iran.

Sadly, Hoe, you&#039;re so blinded by homophobia and anti-Semitism that it&#039;s frankly pathetic.

		<description><![CDATA[Jodka: &quot;Joe, you just sound like a Jihadist shill with your pro-Hizbollah rhetoric. Hizbollah are thugs and killers- first rate gangsters and well funded usurpers of Lebanese sovereignity.&quot;

It&#039;s sort of funny for someone who supports a ZIONIST State and justifies Israel&#039;s existance baseed on lunatic interpretations of the Book of Revelations to call ME a Jiadist!

A pox on BOTH your houses! If Israel wants to protect itself, it can do so with the support of the USA. We&#039;ll find out brave and strong the &quot;Jewish People&quot; are without the American Taxpayer footing the bill for their protection.

		<description><![CDATA[Ms Markets: &quot;Once again, Hoe&#039;s fantasies diverge from reality, natch.&quot;

Chuckle. A Jewish Gay who is a libertarian. You&#039;ve got enough personal inconsistencies for the both of us, and the rest of the blogosphere combined.

Try as you might, you can&#039;t neo-con anyone into believing anything else but that Israel made a war of collective punishment on civilians, not Hezbollah guerillas. They did it because they were too scared of casualties in a ground war fighting man to man. No, it&#039;s a lot easier to lob cluster bombs at crowds of helpless women and children, which is what it did.

Of course, Israel&#039;s intention was to &quot;teach the Lebanese a lesson&quot; for supporting &quot;terrorists&quot;. That&#039;s the same policy they&#039;ve been pursuing against the Palestinans in Gaza and the Left Bank. What did that get them? The Palestinans almost unanimously elected HAMAS!

What Israel did in Lebanon didn&#039;t work. Furthermore it isn&#039;t working for the US in Iraq either.

		<description><![CDATA[Miss Markets: &quot;If Israel is such a &quot;paper tiger,&quot; Hoe, then why aren&#039;t all the local Arab nations invading? Now&#039;s their chance to push the Jews into the sea! The IDF is weak! Attack! Attack! Or, uh, maybe not.&quot;

Oh poop in your pants. Israel has the ATOM BOMB, and the Arabs have nothing but some 1950&#039;s era missiles. End of your argument.

Obviously, you&#039;ve still not gotten over the fact that the last time you wrote about manly-man war stuff, you got your Congressional resolutions mixed up. Do you want me to take you down memory lane on that one?

I say you should limit your commentary to what you are good at...the latest IPOD or cell phone, or maybe review expensive resturants or the latest club fashions down in Georgetown. Leave the war talk to the adult males.

&quot;The mere capture of a couple of soldiers...&quot; How warm and empathetic are you!

Debate the outcome as you will, but I daresay the IDF, even with troubles, is not a &quot;paper tiger&quot;. Joe, you just sound like a Jihadist shill with your pro-Hizbollah rhetoric. Hizbollah are thugs and killers- first rate gangsters and well funded usurpers of Lebanese sovereignity.
