Well, if you're not Rick Devore, then I guess all I can say unto him is ( in the words of Maxwell Smart Agent 86 after he killed the wrong guy), "Sorry about that."

But back to the Rick at hand, I bet now you're going to say that Bill Clinton did not tear our military apart and that he did his best to salvage what was left after the Reagan era. Howbeit, after Bush came into office, he tore it apart again which is why our only military option is to stomp our feet and say "Stop it...", or else enter a full blown nuclear holocaust after Russia just threw urine in the face of both the UN and the US.

I'm not sure what part of Lisa's letter is incomprehensible; The title comes from the Ronnie James Dio song Last in Line in which is stated, ...We're off to the witch, We may never never never come home, But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime, We're all thrown upon the Cross, You know we must roll before the toss, You can release yourself but the only way is down...

And yes, Israeli advisers were present before the recent crisis and had a large part in the recent conflict over the oil line that runs through Georgia which Israel offered Russia a part of, but Russia declined the "part" offer; and is eye-ing Israel for retribution as well. Hence, Armageddon in which it was prophesied that a massive army would come from the north, and that a 200 million man army would cross the Euphrates (China.) In 1948 the first part of the prophesy was fulfilled when Israel was rebirthed as nation after having been scattered by the Romans in 70 AD. It was stated by Christ that this generation would not pass until all things be fulfilled. Biblically, the years of a generation are 70 years; add 70 years to 1948 and you have until 2018 for it to occur if this is the proper interpretation. Although one must admit that it most certainly seems to the direction in which we are heading in which "elements shall melt with a fervent heat."

And, if you are unable to see how the Supreme Court is growing increasingly more hostile to the Bill of Rights, then it is you that are incapable of comprehensive discernment.
