You're 5000 statistic is more in line with Kosovo, and those were almost all males between 15-60.

I don't know what screwed up world you're from, but in this one you win wars by killing the enemy faster than they can train, equip, and field replacements. I'm long out of pity for the Aholes fighting us, they deliberately blow up markets and children's hospitals, and use human shields. I can't think of a more noble cause than to rid the world of scum like that, or a sillier objection than we'll have to kill too many terrorists or terrorist sponsors.

If technology allows us to kill the enemy with near impunity, thank God, the US Service Member, and the US military industrial complex. I think it's great that we can take out one house, and leave the rest of the town standing. How are high enemy with low US and indig civilian casualties a bad thing? Maybe you're just on the wrong side.

And while a few must have been executed (after all, we wanted there to be a Civil War and played lots of tricks to try and get one started), many more of the dead were simply unidentified, bull-dozed into trenches because, with the Allies having targetted all the infrastructure, there was no electricity to store them and no telephones to contact relatives.

Still, as we know, Muslim deaths don't count and our forces boast that they don't attempt to count the dead. For the longest time, the Iraq Body Count considered their exact count to be near enough correct, perhaps only some 200,000 died. But even they've now abandoned that pretence, and it looks as if it's nearer to the latest figure of 1.2 million derived from statistical methods.

But of course – Saddam had to be executed for killing 150 of his own people (which was done after a judicial process) but we don't care about a thousand or ten thousand times more that we've killed with precision weapons!

But if there are Christians who don't see insuperable theological or other problems with Islam, I think we're bound to suppose they know what they're talking about.

Knowing that, why would anyone live up to their end of any agreement with us?

Most people now are secular and don't listen to religious figures telling them how to run the U.S. For them, I believe it's time to start spending time studying Islam's 7th cent. mindset so they won't be surprised at what jihadists in our midst like Maj. Nidal Hisan have in store for us. Study free online with the historyscoper at http://go.to/islamhistory

For those of you who follow these blind hypocrites….know:

The New Testament Scriptures have Supreme Authority over them. And so, let the God that they claim to be represenatives of have His say.

And remember, if your leader is headed for the pit – then so are you (Mat 15:14)

Also…a man's enemies are the men of his own house (Mic 7:6) – And a man's foes shall be they of his own household (Mat 10:36) – The Christian Household, that is.

They say…

the “God of the Christian Church is the God of all mankind.”

Jam 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Jhn 10:5 And a stranger will they (True Christians) not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

1Jo 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. THERE IS A SIN UNTO DEATH: I DO NOT SAY THAT HE SHALL PRAY FOR IT.

2Jo 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not THIS DOCTRINE [of Christ], RECEIVE HIM NOT into your house, neither bid him God speed:

2Jo 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

…”the bishops opted for milquetoast pacifism and working towards “alleviating the root causes of poverty and the other social conditions that are exploited by terrorists”

Woe unto them!.. 2Ti 2:19 Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity…for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain Exd 20:7.

Those bishops were/are Commanded Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth

The Koran calls the Son of God an abomination and all of His apostles liars:

009.030 The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; in this they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

037.151 Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

037.152 Allah has begotten children? but they are liars!

019.088 They say: (Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!

019.089 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!

When have they ever come forth to object? *crickets*

The Koran teaches…

Beheadings (047.004) – Racism (005.041) – Gang Rape (033.052) – Crucifixions (005.033) – Genocide (033.061) – Treason – (008.067) [[[ The tree is known by his fruit....And we reap what we sow - so keep handing out those Korans people]]]

The New Testament teaches…

Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. { Beyond this Christian Command, there are no more Commands]

We can not sit at the table that calls the Son of God an abomination (a regular activity for these bishops) – and then sit at the Son's table too.

Woe unto them! because…Rev 15:3 And they [the true Christians] 'sing' the song of Moses the servant of God

Do hear those bishops singing it? If they were – it would ROCK this whole world!

How many of you reading this even believe that they know what that 'song' is?

For the Christains reading this….SEE: http://palestinename.com/frlord.htm And then ask yourselves… Are you 'singing' it?

Luk 6:39 And He spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, SPEAK EVERY MAN TRUTH with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

1Ti 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, – according to the prophecies which went before on thee – that thou by – them mightest war a good warfare.

Rev 15:3 And they 'sing' the song [the prophecy] of Moses the servant of God

Rev 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy {not plural] of this book.

Woe unto those bishops! and on a level that a ten yr old can understand, thereby having the power to shut the mouths of kings and leaving them all without excuse for the Judgment.
