[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 535920, member: 9859"] Good video, too bad most here ignore the reality here....all I can say is one spending spree will benefit us citizens rather than the US military Ind Complex....both however have consequences to the next generation.. [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/28/AR2008112802242.html[/url] Wkmac, although some of these quotes and images may inspire me personally.....however injecting church into state in a public/gov't forum and claiming God is on our side for political purposes is just plain wrong. I'd much rather not see my religion embellished with flying death machines, but rather with repairing human suffering and injustices and spreading goodness.....

This, of course, is in response to the [I]GQ[/I] story that former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld (r), did just that. The Bible quotes apparently aimed to support Bush at a time when soldiers’ deaths in Iraq were on the rise, according to the June issue of GQ magazine. [/QUOTE]
