Man for real I don't want another debate on Isreal, but all I'll say is this, Isreal is an ally of this country, (whether some people want them or not) Now, Lets say Iraq attacks Isreal, We would need to respond to keep Isreal from like flippin the f*ck out nuken muhfuhkas an whatnot. I think once ONE Arab country attacks them then more would surely follow, Multiple fronts combined with an increase in terrorists activity in and around U.S. and our property & provinces, is a dangerous threat to us.

Anyway terrorist can get wmd's or any kind of support for real is definately a threat. But Yeah, N. Korea is f*ckin scary right now, I think Bush & co. already have plans for them, I mean he singled them out with only 2 other countries in the world, he def. has plans

I feel ya homie, just a debate, I got nutten but Love for my fellow OKP's.

Now, about Haliburton....I was reading somewhere that Hal. didn't get some of those contracts because of the reasons I stated earlier, but now I can't find the motherf*cker and cannot back that up at all. In fact all I could find is quite the opposite so I was prollally talkin out my ass there, maybe I dreamed that shit
