POPSNew Doubts Raised Over Famous War Photo FTA: "Experts at the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, where Capa’s archive is stored, said they found some aspects of Mr. Susperregui’s investigation intriguing or even convincing. But they continue to believe that the image seen in “Falling Soldier” is genuine, and caution against jumping to conclusions." Poor NYT. Not much to write about so they are really searching. It was a different time then and it may have been a *reenactment*? Journalists & photographers are always trying to *create* scenes. Wonder if Matthew Brady did...of whom I am a great fan.

POPSKatz: Fatah 'plan' is declaration of war "...if peace talks fail"? They always fail because Fatah has not honored one portion of any so-called peace plan of the past. They want the Jews *gone*! And they (along with Hamas and their allies) are nibbling bit by bit. Almost a billion dollars of our tax money is heading to the PA. Whose hands do you believe that money will fall into? Bibi needs to tell Fatah, Hamas, this current Administration and the State Dept that there will be no more talks, phone calls, emails..... There have been no serious efforts on the Arabs part to live in harmony with the Israelis in the region. Major portions of the world have chosen sides; even the US is divided over whose cause is the the most just. The day of reckoning is fast approaching.

POPSReport: Hamas Killed, Maimed Dozens of Opponents No surprise here other than that it's being reported. It's not only Israelis that Hamas seeks to kill; it's anyone who doesn't agree with them. As long as Hamas controls Gaza and has such a huge foothold in the area...there will be no peace. I wouldn't hold my breath with Fatah either.

POPSFormer USS Cole commander slams Obama.. Obama's first act was to seek legal protection for captured foreign terrorists operatives...not seeking justice for the innocent victims killed while serving in our military. What a Commander-in-Chief! "''The Department of Defense is currently reviewing Judge Pohl's ruling,'' said Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon. "We will be in compliance with the president's orders regarding Guantanamo.'' He did say "I Won" after all....

POPSWar & Hollywood: Then & Now I am mystified by the anti-Americanism of the Hollywood/film industry. I have NO comprehension for it. But voila! I can't believe I came upon an article which is also confused.

POPS9/11 Families Outraged by Obama Call to Suspend War Crimes Trials Murtha said he'd take them....OK, imprison them in *his* house. "We should continue so we don't go backward, we go forward," Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks told the judge in their case. Obama's "Change" is going to drag this thing out and everyone involved is going to suffer even longer. Many that the US have tried to return to their place of origin won't accept them and some that were released have been recaptured in terrorist activities.

POPSCongress Holds Troops Hostage, Budget Director Says AND when the President vetoes this bill, who will get blamed for not supporting the troops? Congress, again, shows their utter contempt for the American process, it's military, our tax dollars, the intelligence of it's citizens. Blackmail, pure and simple. If Congress does not want America troops in Iraq then take the stand, vote, and deal with the consequences. But they won't because they KNOW it is not in our national interests to do so; but they will play politics with every ounce of treachery they can muster against this Administration, our military personnel, and the responsible use of OUR money.

POPSAnti-war Soros funded Iraq study People are free to *fund* whoever and whatever they want, but not matter who...the results are almost always a product of the view of the *funder*. To give any credibility to any "study", the $$$ behind it should be disclosed.

POPSAn inconvenient truth Wow, this from Australia! A clear-thinking analysis of the politics of the war: "...the only thing that matters is delivering a defeat to the Bush Administration".

POPSSanchez: Media's Reporting of Iraq War Endangered Soldiers' Lives Whoa! I hadn't heard this part of his conversation. I wonder why? And concerning this assessment....I could not agree more. Perhaps if the media hadn't been so aggressively portraying the situation in Iraq so inaccurately, the 'nightmare' would not have been such as he considered it.

POPS'So close to war' Read the entire article. The things we don't know would, indeed, scare us to death and cause us to panic. I'm content to live in my 'world' and *pretend* that my children/grandchildren will have the life that I did. America....beware who you choose to be the Leader of our Country and the Protector of our way-of-life.

POPSWill the 12th Imam cause war with Iran To add to a clip posted earlier about Ahmadinejad and his Islamic eschatology. From the article: "if, as Mr Ahmadinejad claimed in New York, Iran has no interest in developing nuclear weapons, there is every indication that Teheran is preparing itself for war, not least because the clash with Western civilisation that the Iranian president so obviously desires will hasten, or so he believes, the arrival of the 12th Imam."

POPSPrepare for war with Iran, France warns "(They) have become the executors of the will of the White House and have adopted a tone that is even harder, even more inflammatory and more illogical than that of Washington." Wow! How is that possible??!! (s/off)

POPSPeace activist Sheehan arrested at Congress Mrs. Sheehan has been used by the anti-war movement, the Liberals and the foes of the Administration. Sadly, I believe, she views herself more influential that she actually is and the media exploits her for their news fodder. I would never criticize a woman who has lost her son in war for being outspoken against it; we all hate war. Other than having name recognition now and being in favor of withdrawal from Iraq, what qualifies her for a place in Congress as a representative? I am no fan of Mrs. Pelosi, but Sheehan appears to have visions of grandeur and an exalted opinion of her self-importance. Someone needs to help her find another avenue to fight war and it's effects...other than being used as a pawn.

POPSDemocrats Won't Force War Vote The measures are "too weak". Yes! The Liberals and the anti-war advocates *know* that withdrawing our military and undermining the efforts in Iraq will spell d-i-a-s-t-e-r for all involved. Commit wholeheartedly, win and then come home.

POPSIraqis warn of civil war if US troops withdraw Are there other US citizens, out there, who realize that setting a time-table for, or even suggesting a withdrawal, would be horribly detrimental to *peace* for ourselves and even the Middle East? In a following conflict (which there most definitely will be) would anyone believe in us/US? Where would our credibility be? Our military personnel can make a difference for the good; but our politicians, both past and present, make whatever gains we could make null and void. This entire way of thinking undermines our National integrity, our military and it's commitment and sacrifice; the very standards of the United States. Does anyone believe that leaving Iraq, NOW, would benefit the United States and the rest of the World?! The Congress committed. So they think, now, it was a deceptive *commitment*...NOT! They Knew! So.... how do you believe leaving, at this point, would be beneficial? Explain. I do not see it.

POPSWhy We Went to War in Iraq I had become addicted to politics during the Clinton years, but it was during the 2000 election (like most every American) that I began to be tuned in like never before. I remember the President's speech before the UN and this is how I remember the events. It *was* about weapons inspectors/inspections, the ignoring of the UN's resolutions, and regime change. I believed the President was attempting to put some teeth back into the operation of the UN with the commitment to see that it's resolutions, by anyone, were no longer disregarded. Alas, it was much more corrupted than most of us thought and seems beyond redemption. It needs to go the way of the League of Nations.

POPSWar is coming to Tucson The immigration issue is becoming more serious and may even surpass the Iraqi war in it's divisiveness. Even though I live in the South, I guess I had not read much about the day to day violence that is occurring and the failure of our government to combat it. This is eye-opening.

POPSBoehner gets emotional during Iraq war funding debate I want to be cynical because our current history has lead me to be this way. I hope this man is serious with his words, because if our leaders are not, we will be at the mercy of something the majority of us have never even read about. It's high time someone became passionate about our safety and security.
