3. But they are loud

I know a couple... and even if I sent this to them, they'd accuse me of smearing their candidate

For them Bush has been the best thing that could happen for Israel

How, I have no clue.

Then again I no longer talk to them, or even spend a second with them in the same room... or for that matter, the same city!

6. Smith has edited the article now

the video he viewed had an edit which mischaracterized (Fred) Smith said. Smith said he agreed with Truman's decision, but that Marshall was prophetic in his concerns.

8. The Soviet Union Recognized Israel Almost Contemporaneously And That Had Something To Do With It

Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 07:06 PM by DemocratSinceBirth

The Soviets also funneled arms through Czechoslovakia to assist Israel in their war for independence...The Soviets later disavowed that act and punished those involved...

History is not neat and tidy...

7. Moreover, what qualifies the head of FedEx to be Secretary of Defense?

No offense to the fine people at FedEx, on whom I have relied many times, but I don't see how their organization is similar to that of the US military.
