From Columbia Christians for Life:
How many patriotic Americans, especially Christians, can "handle the truth" ?
The Iraq War was undeclared and thereforeunconstitutionaland thereforeillegal under Article I., Section 8. of the U.S.Constitution.
The Iraq War was unnecessary (no 9-11 connection, no WMD's, no attack by sovereign nation of Iraq) and thereforeunjustified.The Iraq War wasillegal and unjustifiedand thereforeunjust.
Conclusion: THE IRAQ WAR WAS AN UNJUST WAR.
The Purpose: TO ADVANCE THE NEW WORLD ORDER - PART OFROME'S /VATICAN /JESUIT GENERAL /PAPAL"TENTHCRUSADE"a.k.a. THE " WAR ON TERROR".
March 20, 2010: Unjust Iraq War Seventh Anniversaryhttp://christianlifeandliberty.net/2010-03-21-March-20-2010-%20Unjust-Iraq-War-Seventh-Anniversary.doc

The Afghanistan War was illicitly based on the false flag attacks of 9-11 [ Internet search: "911 truth" - e.g.,Architects&Engineers,Pilots,Firefighters,Scholars,Christians ],
which were used to stir up patriotic fervor among Americans [ Like FDR's Pearl Harbor "surprise" attack and World War 2 ]; and which were also used later to fear-monger
and deceive the American people into accepting the unjust Iraq War.


While PresidentsBush andObama and their NWO globalist allies have knowingly and intentionally left our Southern Border inadequately secured,
and while tens of millions of illegal aliens [largely Roman Catholic,Pope-supported /AmericanRomanCatholicBishops-supported Mexicans ]
have invaded the United States, the ongoing, "perpetual", bogus "War on Terror" continues -Rome's Vatican /Jesuit General /Papal"TenthCrusade".
The Jesuits and Modern America - "The Jesuits have been out toRomanize America ..."http://christianlifeandliberty.net/scan00011.jpg


Every American, especially Christians, who voted forSkull and Bonesmasonicsecret societymember George W. Bush in 2000 or 2004, or for
32ndDegreePrinceHallMason Barrack Hussein Obama in 2008, BOTH servant puppets of theRome / Vatican /Jesuit General /Papal /Illuminati / Freemason /Zionist /Jesuit-ruledCFR /TrilateralCommission /Bilderberg /Skull and Bones NewWorldOrder, shouldrepent (2 Chronicles 7:14,KJV).

God has warned us in His Word the Bible -FOLLOWING FALSE LEADERSHIP CAN BE FATAL !!!
God says: "As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people,
they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
God says: For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed."
Isaiah 9:16,KJV


Jesus Christ says: "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32,KJV

Veterans proud but struggling in civilian life, poll says http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/50661474

Veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq are having greater difficulty returning to civilian life than veterans from previous eras
but remain proud of their service, according to the results of a Pew Research survey released today.

The rare survey of former servicemembers says veterans have found the cost of combat to be high in personal and family anguish,
and less than a majority of those surveyed, 34%, say both conflicts have been worth the fight. Fifty percent say Afghanistan
was worth it; 44% say the same of Iraq.

continued...

Forty-four percent of those surveyed say their adjustment to civilian life has been difficult, compared with the 25% of veterans
surveyed from previous eras. Half of those who served in combat report signs of post-traumatic stress, and 75% report living
with nightmares and flashbacks from their combat experience.
The surveys of about 1,800 veterans, including 712 who served after Sept. 11, 2001, and about 2,000 members of the public,
highlighted the differing views between the general public and servicemembers over the sacrifices of the 10-year conflict.

About half of the public surveyed say troops and their families have made more sacrifices since the 9/11 attacks than the general population.
Of those who see this greater burden borne by military members, 26% say it's unfair and 70% consider it "just being part of the military."

By contrast, 84% of post-9/11 veterans say the public has no idea of the problems incurred as a result of wars demanding
multiple deployments.
"The biggest challenge we face as a generation ? is the unprecedented disconnect" between veterans and the public, says Paul Rieckhoff,
executive director of the 100,000-member Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.

Study co-author Paul Taylor, executive vice president of the Pew Research Center, says this issue of a gap is a break from past conflicts.
"Usually when we fight wars, no matter how many people actually fight it, the war itself feels like more of a national experience," Taylor says.

Even so, 96% of the vets say they are proud of their service and 74% say their military experience has helped them get ahead in life.
Ninety-three percent say the military has helped them mature and more than eight of 10 say they would advise a young person close to them to join the military.
