I'm gonna pee on the flag.

If only we could seize control of MSM and wake up the benighted European sheeple to Zionist conspiracy behind the War on Terror, where 9/11 was their Reichstag fire, with Chomsky ("The lady doth protest too much!") in the role of Marinus van der Lubbe. Chomsky is undoubtely the invisible hand making the Whitehouse dance like Cossacks to wild, romantic Gypsylike saxophone and violin music.

Thank you IMUK running with the baton of the secret reality of these insiduous people who are behind everything bad.

But we have to be careful not to confuse Zionists with Jews, because that would be racist, paranoid and psychotic! The very simple difference between a Jew and a Zionist: Zionists are Jews who don't believe that Zionists were responsible for 9/11, 7/7 and anything else that the Establishment or TruthSeekers get on their high horses about, Jews on the hand are nice people who don't live in Israel and have big hats and appear in musicals complaining about being poor and have the good manners not to interact with Truthseekers.

Shalom!

Get a grip people before you are stamped under the marching boot of Zionism that slowly but surely stomping its way to your street!!!

Note that the Zionist Extremists have to PhotoShop and invent things, in order to make these things "support" their Conspiracy Theory, which says "ze Arabs" are the Aggressors, and the poor little Neo-Cons the "victims", not powerful Extremists pursuing a deadly agenda of widespread Aggression, which has been penned for well over ten years ...

Peace turnout low

Raging Grannies, unions rally to bring troops home from Afghanistan
By MICHELLE MARK, EDMONTON SUN

A march to protest the presence of Canadian troops in Afghanistan could only draw a few dozen locals to the University of Alberta yesterday.

The Raging Grannies and union members joined men and women of all ages denouncing Canada's involvement in the war, which has involved hundreds of Edmonton-based soldiers.

"Canadians stand for peace and do not want to be involved in a mission which does not contribute to peace," said organizer Peggy Morton.

She said she is supporting local soldiers by asking that they be sent back home.

"The Canadian people have been deceived that this mission is about bringing peace and development to Afghanistan. It is nothing of the kind, but is part of (U.S. President George) Bush's overall strategy to impose U.S. dictate in every corner of the world."

Hundreds of people took part in similar rallies across the country yesterday, urging the federal government to bring Canadian troops home from Afghanistan.

"I don't think war is the answer to anything," said Alex, a University of Alberta alumnus who wouldn't give his last name. "I've been opposed to the mission in Afghanistan since day one, so it's nice to see other people who feel the same way."

While the group was not granted a permit from the city to march down Whyte Avenue, participants decided to head out anyway.

More than 2,000 Canadian soldiers are in Afghanistan

This *could* be the opportunity for the NDP to get those non-voting anarchists out in the voting booths. Not me.

I'm sick of this Jack Layton inspired protest scene. And I'm sick of people using Jack Layton's name as if it gives creditability to what we all stand for with regards to the war in Afghanistan.

Don't you mean Taliban Jack? aLSO WHO CARE AOUT OUR PATHEIC LEFT-WING VOTE.

Saturday's nation-wide protest rallies against Canada's mission in Afghanistan were a real eye-opener. Not only were they poorly attended, but in every media report I read, I didn't see any mention of Afghan-Canadian groups in attendance.

This is odd, considering that when the anti-war left protests against Israel they are always joined by a vocal contingent of the Palestinian community. So why is it that so few (if any) Afghans came out to protest against our current mission?

Since 2002, more than three million Afghan refugees have returned home, and Afghanistan has seen its most peaceful five years since the late 1970s.

Could it be that Afghan-Canadians know how much better Afghanistan is today thanks to NATO troops and would rather not see the country slide back into the chaos and bloodshed of the 1990s?

I sure wish the media would devote more attention to the views of local Afghans instead of wasting my time with what the Transgender Marxist Poetry Society has to say about the war.

While NDP Leader Jack Layton continues to demand that Canada break its word and quickly start withdrawing its presence in Afghanistan and also wants to open negotiations with the Taliban, it seems that many in his party want to go even further, condemning Canadian soldiers for “acting like terrorists, destroying communities, killing and maiming innocent people”. Why are Layton and the NDP allowing such language to be debated at their policy convention? Does Layton agree with these sentiments? Does NDP MP Jean Crowder – whose riding association is presenting the resolution – agree with them? How does NDP MP Peter Stoffer feel about official policy resolutions at the upcoming NDP convention attacking him personally?:

The facts:

Resolution 1 B4 on international security is being presented to the upcoming NDP Policy Convention by the NDP riding association of Nanaimo-Cowichan.
The resolution suggests that Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan are “acting like terrorists, destroying communities, killing and maiming innocent people”.
The resolution also criticizes NDP MP Peter Stoffer saying that his statements in support of Canadian soldiers “is not an acceptable position when world peace hangs in the balance.”
The resolution calls for the withdrawal of “Canadian troops in Afghani areas of active combat”
Does Jack Layton agree with the sentiments of this resolution? Will he be voting for it at the NDP convention?
Does Jean Crowder agree with the sentiments of her riding association? Will she be supporting this resolution at the NDP convention?
The NDP say they support the men and women of the Canadian military. How can they say that given resolutions like this one that call Canadian soldiers “terrorists” and slam any NDP MP who supports our soldiers?

"While NDP Leader Jack Layton continues to demand that Canada break its word"

Not 'Canada', Harper's 'Canadian' Alliance. Word given to foreign Extremists, ignoring the will of Canadians, is meaningless.

"also wants to open negotiations with the Taliban"

As both the US/UK have. I guess he must be onto something!

"it seems that many in his party want to go even further, condemning Canadian soldiers for “acting like terrorists, destroying communities, killing and maiming innocent people”.

Why not include the whole quote? Perhaps because it doesn't exactly say what you're trying to suggest?

Is what they are saying true? That's the only issue here, not whether you agree or not, but whether we've done more harm than good.

But thanks for demonstrating that anti-war should vote NDP.

Think for the good of the world!

Two female teachers were recently murdered by the Taliban, along with their grandmother and two other family members. Their only crime was teaching children and girls.

Now the Bloc Quebecois wants to give a free hand to the Taliban so it can carry on killing more teachers and wiping out the hopes and dreams of yet another generation of Afghans. The Taliban know and understand that the real battle is in the classroom; if this generation of Afghans becomes educated, the Taliban is finished.

Bloc members are full of wonderful rhetoric about human rights and freedoms, but for them it's just words -- they don't want to get their hands dirty making anything happen. During the Second World War, many of the Quebec elite felt that Adolf Hitler wasn't their problem; now the Bloc (who see themselves as the new elite) repeats history by saying the Taliban isn't Canada's problem.

They were wrong on both counts. There is an old saying that is as relevant today as when it was first said: Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.
