Monday, January 24, 2011 7:39:58 PM not all of these are as bad as they sound- Marijauna was used to make ropes back then and for John Adams it wasn't all that uncommon to marry your cousin back then |

Sunday, January 23, 2011 3:24:56 PM As for Qasim's coup of the royal family and the overthrow of his own subsequent communist linked government, the CIA was not involved. First you ignore my earlier assertions and now you're just lying. Yes they were involved CrakrJak, the CIA gave them financial support. You're such a poor judge of credibility you shouldn't even bother. I'm done here. |

Sunday, January 23, 2011 10:47:36 AM Cajun247: We did sell some arms to him during the iraq-iran war (but that did not put Saddam in power). As for Qasim's coup of the royal family and the overthrow of his own subsequent communist linked government, the CIA was not involved. (Yes, there were rumors of CIA backing of Qasims overthrow since he was leaning communist but that's hearsay, not proof.) You'd have been better off making the accusation of the US helping islamic jihad in Afghanistan (When Russia invavded them), At least there would've been proof of that. During the cold war, One side's 'terrorist' was the other side's 'freedom fighter', but times have changed and so has the criteria we use to choose whom to help or hinder. |

Sunday, January 23, 2011 2:03:58 AM @CrakrJak So you're telling me that the US did not help Saddam overthrow the Abd al-Karim Qasim in 1958 and 1963? Nor did we support the Iraqis in 1980 (Iran-Iraq war)? |

Sunday, January 23, 2011 1:05:34 AM Cajun247: The CIA did not put Saddam in power, He put himself into power by killing off everyone he didn't like or suspected didn't like him. He rose through the ranks of the Ba'athist party by killing people, pure and simple. |

Saturday, January 22, 2011 10:08:53 PM What's wrong with Abraham Lincoln being homosexual? Also, how the hell does sleeping in the same bed as your bodyguard make you gay? |

Saturday, January 22, 2011 6:05:49 PM @5Cats You know US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan happened before 9/11 right? Actually we're the ones (Central Intelligence Agency) who put Saddam Hussein in power, and openly supported him. |

Saturday, January 22, 2011 1:09:28 PM Please look it up for yourself, You may believe it more if you do. I just did no where does it say that she wrote anything. The only mention of it is the Sahih al-Bukhari which by the way was compiled after generations of oral repetition. Not hard to imagine how details got skewed. Furthermore what exactly does this say about the character of Muslims worldwide (if that is the point)? |

Saturday, January 22, 2011 1:00:54 PM "Americans just hate us. Plain and simple. " dude, im american, and i wouldn't waste my time hating you if i was paid for it. now, some americans DO hate you and your whole race, but here's a newsflash: we have a population near 300 million people, and for you to say "all 300 million of you do this" is almost the most retarded thing to come out of your mouth yet. |
