"...Bush will not retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan. Why? Because he is not occupying these countries. By ‘liberating' them, he has ‘fulfilled God’s mission under the “Manifest Destiny.”

Chastity Crusade

"The UK has the second highest teenager pregnancy rate in the Western world. Over a million young Americans have already taken the Silver Ring Pledge. The British Humanist regards it the latest cranky Christian concept from America and has the full support of George W Bush with one million dollars as part of his campaign to replace sex education."

Not long after, however, Hizballah reinitiated incursions across the blue line."
