I'm intrigued though. What does 38:5 actually say?"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Ezekiel 38Originally posted by Ramo
I'm intrigued though. What does 38:5 actually say?HAVE A DAY.
<--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
"And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17Comment

Why is it that you think this prophecy is going to occur in the near future. Whay not in 4004? Why could'nt this have already occured? Why would it occur at all? Because the bible tells me so?What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/
What can make a nigga wanna loose all faith in/Anything that he can't feel through his chest wit sensationComment

That's great then - it's an "invasion" that provides NONE of the problems that Iraq or Afghanistan do, given that we're not actually trying to hold territory.Originally posted by GePap
Having Reagan as you avatar has greatly impared your thinking:
ANY TIME YOU PLACE YOUR TROOPS UNINVITED INTO SOMEONE ELSES SOVERIGN TERRITORY YOU HAVE INVADED THEM.
It does not matter what the purpose of that invasion is-that is not significant to the definition of the term.Comment

The isreali of today is not a peace and won't be at peace anytime in the forseeable future. They have the most powerful military in the area. This prophecy is not talking about them in present form. Maybe they are talking about one of the other children of abraham.What can make a nigga wanna fight a whole night club/Figure that he ought to maybe be a pimp simply 'cause he don't like love/What can make a nigga wanna achy, break all rules/In a book when it took a lot to get you hooked up to this volume/

And you are also incorrect- of course we are trying to hold on to territory-in the name of the new regime we hope to install there.If you don't like reality, change it! me

You missed my point - we AREN'T installing a new regime! You just send people in, they blow up the stuff you want gone, then they leave. You don't care about "liberating" Iran or anything, just removing certain targets that you may not be capable of destroying from the air.Comment

Do you understand the concept of sovereign territory. Attacking ANYTHING on foreign soil is an act of war. It's not good enough to do this sort of thing because you can. Do you wonder why people are flying planes into our buildings. It's because we think we can attack them at will.

all the high speed camera footage was classified, so we have no way of knowing. Since it was probably a violation of the abm treaty, and since we don't like to overtly state our capabilities, the official line is that the patriots were a complete failure.
The scuds were a proven weapons system though, they did some damage in Iran, so to have such a low death count against opposed launches(1 scud hit a barracks, neither patriot battery responded to the attack, ~30 people died) seems somewhat strange.Comment

Purely from a practical point of view, Iran would smack you back. They've already been searching for a reason to interfere in south Iraq. What happens if, on June 30th they seize the al-Arab waterways?Originally posted by Kucinich

Or even just decide that US and Israeli 'belligerance' is enough to justify increased funding for insurrections in the north and south.
Or if they stir up Hezbollah again?
Bombing would probably be the worst thing to do in this situation.Res ipsa loquiturComment

Where did you get the idea that I cared?
And yes, we can attack these countries at will. At least, we didn't seem to have any problems attacking Iraq or Afghanistan.Comment

If they can't get past the border, they can't do anything. We may have difficulties fighting insurgents, but do you really think US troops would do anything but completely PWN any conventional forces?Comment
