Over the image was printed a verse from Ephesians: "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." The report by Robert Draper, who wrote a well-received book about Bush called "Dead Certain," also detailed the frustration and occasional fury of former officials who said Rumsfeld constantly undermined the president's goals. Draper said: "Rumsfeld impaired administration performance on a host of matters extending well beyond Iraq to impact America's relations with other nations, the safety of our troops, and the response to Hurricane Katrina." This concept of placing America in God's camp sticks in the throat of a lot of American clergy. "It is by no means certain that we are as pure as the driven snow or that our international policy is so pure," says Fritz Ritsch, Presbyterian minister in Bethesda, Maryland.The Reverend Ritsch says it also makes their job as clerics harder by giving Christians in America an easy way out.

You're someone I'll have fond memories of for a long time. On that note, I'll just say good bye. The axe could drop on me at anytime or in other words, the other chick won ( was there ever any doubt )  |
