When somebody freezes bacteria, it is just putting the bacteria growth on pause. After a while the bacteria will start to spread again and this time stronger. Fighting this war is making things worse. If you were a twelve-year-old kid and your home has been bombed in Afghanistan, and all of your family died, and you were told it was the Americans, handed a gun and told to start fighting, you would fight with a vengeance. We can try to be the international police, but how many of our men are we willing to sacrifice to fight a war that is not meant to be fought. We should pull out of Iraq.

This book takes many readings to even grasp part of the lessons it teaches. It is mandatory reading at the naval academy and many officers schools. I have been in martial arts since I was 7 and I have read the book many times and let me just say you need to read it again. It is not a book designed to read a sentence to teach a direct meaning. You must take the context of the entierty of the book and the lessons will reveal themselves.

Now either Saddam and something to hide or Bush was lying and had something to hide. Bush from the outset new his slanting of the intelligence could not be discovered and needed to act immediately to invade before his lie was discovered.

I met and talked to a guy who was in a mechanized infantry unit attached to an engineer outfit in Iraq. Their whole job was to find and destroy any chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons found in Iraq following the invasion. He was there for 18 months, and he told me that in the entire time he was there they found 3 inert tank shells that used to contain gas. He went on to say that based on the obscure location off those shells, and their age, he doubted that Saddam even knew they were in his inventory.
