POPSIn praise of a brave woman-Nadia Hilou She won't be silenced when children are murdered. She won't be silenced when a Christian minority needs educational support. She won't be silenced when a family is in need - Christian, Muslim or Jewish. And, she won't be silenced by extremists who criticize her because she is a Palestinian working from inside the Israeli system with a mainstream Israeli party doing more than pandering to political emotions. Nadia Hilou threatens the status quo in the Arab community and especially its leadership

POPSScum destroy demonstration's message.
I watched the debate, to an empty Westminster chamber, when several opposition MP's raised the point with the Deputy Speaker. I have waited for a response, scouring the London papers for report, but I found none. Typical of such occasions, being a Thursday and the pub in the Village -highly subsidised by the tax payer - probably the place to confer with your legal advisor about your dubious expenses - neither Joan Humble or Gordon Marsden were present. What great advertisement for two MP's who are supposed to represent the view and needs of veterans if they cannot support the fighting troop. You may have read that I know the wars out east to be illegal. That does not prevent me from supporting the troops 100% and a little more. I honestly believe that all those MP's who voted for these conflicts should be tried for War Crimes. If a half-wit like me recognised obfuscation with the dubious documents and the WMD, what does it say about out highly informed politicians? For the demo

POPSIraq Vet Congressman Patrick Murphy Slams DADT Don't ask, don't tell is a ridiculous, outdated policy that will likely be gone within a year. Most troops don't support it, and those who do are just going to have to deal with it. When the military was de-segregated, obviously there were racists that opposed that, too.

POPS"Generation Kill" brings the Iraq war to the TV viewer From the producers of "The Wire" With its $550 billion budget and 1.5 million troops, the military might seem a mechanized colossus of precision-guided violence, give or take a few bad apples and errant artillery shells. But if you have served in the military or written about it from the inside, you know that on the unit level it is filled with men and women of vastly different motivations and skills. The Marines in Generation Kill are intelligent and dimwitted, panicked, sensitive, racist, comic, homicidal, brave. It is a wonder when things go according to plan. "You know what happens when you get out of the Marine Corps?" says one of the characters. "You get your brains back."

POPSIs she "the Patron Saint of Terror" or a real HEROINE? Did she "for all intents and purposes committed suicide" as this Zionist alleges? Must all victims of Zionist atrocities somehow become the authors of their own deaths? Fleeing women and children become suicidal maniacs? It's so easy now to stick suicide beside Arab or Muslim and blame them for their own murder. And if it works with Arabs why not on Arab sympathisers, even American sympathisers. All deserve to die in the fascist meat grinder. Well when they can murder 34 brave men on USS Liberty with no consequence what do you expect for a slip of a lass like Corrie , full of youthful idealism. Death! And a tarnished reputation!

POPSOUR BRAVE NATION Are we brave enough, AGAIN, to be accounted for? Do we show up or just complain? Where are the protesters? Where are the participants? America once was the beginning of a world wide MOVEMENT and now we seem to be at the end. Let's meet at the next rally, outside, not web side. Or are we that afraid of looking ridiculous? What is stopping us now? Participation required, not just mental masturbation and making our feelings some room.

POPSIraq War Memorial Planners Forced To Revise Length Again "The goal is to come up with cost-effective, creative solutions to respectfully eulogize our fallen heroes," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who cited a recent decision to construct a part of the monument out of papier-mâché, and another proposal to type the names of newly fallen soldiers on sturdy index cards, which would be kept in a box near the memorial. "So we urge the president to sign our bill to allow the ABMC to strip marble slabs from the steps of the seldom-visited Jefferson Memorial in order to help complete this timeless monument." "Because our grandchildren should be honored just as much for their service in Iraq," she added.

POPSAfghanistan-- The "Good Good War" Is A Bad War I had suggested to Marina that we meet in the safety of the Intercontinental Hotel, where foreigners stay in Kabul, but she said no. She had been there once and government agents, suspecting she was Rawa, had arrested her. We met instead at a safe house, reached through contours of bombed rubble that was once streets, where people live like earthquake victims awaiting rescue. The reason the United States gave for invading Afghanistan in October 2001 was "to destroy the infrastructure of al-Qaeda, the perpetrators of 9/11". The women of Rawa say this is false. In a rare statement on 4 December that went unreported in Britain, they said: "By experience, that the US does not want to defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda, because then they will have no excuse to stay in Afghanistan and work towards the realisation of their economic, political and strategic interests in the region."

POPSUp with the Grups This article's a couple of years old, but I just came across it and, well, as someone who might perhaps fall into the definition of "Grup", I found it interesting. It made me feel "OK" about, at 39, still living a lifestyle reminiscent of my early 20's, while it simultaneously served as yet another reminder of "Gee... I'm almost 40. You mean I'm not supposed to be acting this way anymore?"

POPSAmericans in WW1: B&W pics "Of the approximately 115,000 American dead in the Great War, only about 52,000 died of battlefield wounds. More than 200,000 became more or less seriously wounded. Some 60,000 soldiers and sailors died of disease, mainly the complications of the global pandemic flue (influenza). During the war over 4,355,000 American men and women served in the armed forces. At the end of the war 1,950,000 Americans were actually fighting in France and Flanders. One in five was foreign-born and one in four was functionally illiterate."

POPS U. S. Senator DeMint Is Mad As Hell Protesting the Marines is just a predictable by-product of the massive Bush Derangement Syndrome that exists in this God-Forsaken city. But they took it a step further and not only denounced the US Military but then wholly endorsed and even subsidized Code Pink. Is the city of Berkeley, California complicit in treason? Constitutionally, Code Pink did commit treason. The latest book by Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson (U.S. Air Force-Ret.) is called War Crimes: The Left's Campaign to Destroy Our Military and Lose the War on Terror. In the book, he claims that two anti-war groups -- "United for Peace & Justice" and "CODEPINK: Women for Peace" -- literally gave aid and comfort to terrorists when they delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies they claim was humanitarian aid to civilians.

POPSNude Is Not Lewd Many women worry that nudity might be mistaken for availability. Many men worry that nudity might become too stimulating. People worry too much. Nothing is more natural than the naked body. Throw of those old duds and get yourself a proper tan next summer! Feel the wind under your...wings! *LOL* Nudity is cool and it lessens the laundry load too. Be natural, be brave, be stark raving nude once in a while! It's very liberating. Oh... and if your American? Don't fret. ;) Being unclothed is not illegal on Federal lands, says the National Park Service. It is one of our Constitutional rights according to a federal court decision (Williams vs Hathaway 400F Supp.122 {D.Mass.1975}) The law says it's okay, God says it's okay....chuck it!! There's no excuse!! :lol: Clip Song *giggle*

POPSProposed bill will bring 4,000 troops back to life Congress is also expected to begin drafting legislation that would completely heal all 28,385 wounded U.S. soldiers. If passed into law, any troops who have lost limbs to amputation, infection, or car-bomb explosions can expect their arms and legs to grow back within six months. In addition, the bill would guarantee that those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder will not have post-traumatic stress disorder anymore. Love the Onion - my kind of sick humor.

POPSAnti-war what?
These quote -- except the first one -- are from Democrats and concern a $50 billion bill that adds funds , today, for the war. It almost sounds like the Democrats are going to do something real. While the Republicans continue to play one of their final gambits: i.e. - We should support the war because we have to support the troops. This 50-billion dollar bill has nothing more than a pretense of war opposition....with a provision to "begin the redeployment of our brave men and women,"..requiring that President Bush initiate troop withdrawals within 30 days of its passage with the goal of bringing home most soldiers and Marines by Dec. 15, 2008 -- but this goal of "most" troops withdrawn is NOT a requirement, not real at all and -- even worse -- puts out the idea that "enough soldiers and Marines are to be left behind to fight terrorists, train Iraqi security forces and protect U.S. assets." Ah...."protect US assests,' Such as the 14 or permanent military bases that are appare

POPSBeware The Lame Duck "This president pursues a war without demanding of his generals either success or victory and accepts the sacrifice of our brave young men and women in uniform while asking nothing of our people or the nation at a time of war. Sadly, this president has diminished a great nation and may diminish it further."
