Just when you'd thought America was being led by religious fanatics to engage in calamitous acts of murder and destruction, a cool breeze of Reason and Rational Thought graces the minds of those entrusted with our military and its deployment.

Pentagon reports no longer quote Bible

The Pentagon said Monday it no longer includes a Bible quote on the cover page of daily intelligence briefings it sends to the White House as was practice during the Bush administration.

For a period in 2003, at least, the daily reports prepared for President George W. Bush carried quotes from the books of Psalms and Ephesians and the epistles of Peter. At the time, the reports focused largely on the war in Iraq.

The Bible quotes apparently aimed to support Bush at a time when soldiers' deaths in Iraq were on the rise, according to the June issue of GQ magazine. But they offended at least one Muslim analyst at the Pentagon and worried other employees that the passages were inappropriate.

On Thursday, April 10, 2003, for example, the report quoted the book of Psalms — "Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him. ... To deliver their soul from death." — and featured pictures of the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down and celebrating crowds in Baghdad.

"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand," read the cover quote two weeks earlier, on March 31, above a picture of a U.S. tank driving through the desert, according to the magazine, which obtained copies of the documents.

The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, on Monday said U.S. soldiers "are not Christian crusaders, and they ought not be depicted as such."

"Depicting the Iraq conflict as some sort of holy war is completely outrageous," Lynn said in a statement. "It's contrary to the constitutional separation of religion and government, and it's tremendously damaging to America's reputation in the world."

I'm sure we can now expect all those European nations to greatly buttress their present token forces in the harsh and heretofore indomitable Afghanistan.

We can at least rest with the expectation that folks like you will not fair well. Why are you sure a miserable creature?

And we all know how hard it is to offend muzzies

Thank God?

You're a fuckin' jerkoff.

Uh, Prick...you really don't get it, do you? Look--the folks we have been seriously offending for the past eight years are the leaders and governments of SECULAR European nations. And that means ALL of them. Guess what? They don't adorn their official briefings with bible quotes. As for offending the Muslims, well we've already done a smart job of that, thanks to these criminals


Of course this lunatic WANTS THOSE BIBLE QUOTES BACK

Who gives a fuck?

How about these lunatics?

And if you think this gibberish as expressed here by leading government figures (some still out of prison) is just some ranting hillbillies, try again.

Those government figures in the O'Muslim administration ?

Remind me what your military service was again?

Be specific, D-ron. Are you wondering which Obama cabinet and staff members are ardent supporters of Jesus, Zionism, or both? Are you totally clueless as to the current fragile Israeli hard-right coalition currently slithering through the world's capitals? The constant drone of the demonizing of Iran? Frankly, you seem like an idiot. Try to keep up.

Teddy Kennedy must think he can bribe his way out of hell

Yer right, Avi, as far as the ZioNazi contingent being front and center in the Obama squad, but I don't believe Pelosi is religious in any practical sense. As for Rahm..nuff said. Does 'Bama go to church? Apocalyptic prayer meetings? If he's bent on invading the uninvadable with an army whose backbone is facing life in an insane asylum, perhaps he should do both.

You guys ever see such a bunch of ranting verbiage in one spot ?? I mean this ass clown must troll every conspiracy web site he can find to cut and paste this swill...unbelievable...

And what is " uninvadable" ?

The we would call these people patriots if they offended the Muslims...here is a news flash you fucking idiot..the minute a Jew is in government, or business dealings...the Muzzies are offended..and the others had to work a bit more at it.

Find some one besides yourself who is hand wringing that the Muzzies are offended...

I'm filing--that is, I'm being told to file--an injunction on this thread against any demeaning stereotypes following the capture of a cell of Terrorists in the Bronx, planning to blow up synagogues and shoot down planes--just like on 24--we just got 'em.....uh, excuse me, I'm confused...wrong thread..I thought this was the All People Are Chosen dot org site...uh....excuse me...

I'm filing an injunction and I'm yellin' real loud! The allegations that Mr. Hsu was deeply plowed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in a late night strap-on encounter following a fundraiser, causing him to get on a bus going anywhere--to quote the platinum-selling rock band Journey--are false, malicious, and extremely racist!!

Unfortunatly, I think he ran out.

Someone needs to get in touch with his shrink pronto.

Huh? Perhaps you should look into hiring an attorney for the purpose of suing yourself for mental cruelty.

Abramoff! He's a squealer! I can always tell a squealer!

Man, fuck all y'all. I'm really starting to enjoy this new kinder, gentler, at-least-trying-to-being-the-funnay version of Nick.
