Lost Credibility
Senator Joe Biden is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and the foreign affairs expert for the Democratic party. He is furious that the Bush regime has knowingly disregarded and misrepresented intelligence.
Biden points out that according to the 16 American intelligence agencies, Iran had shut down their program to build a nuclear weapon in 2003. Nevertheless, Bush recently talked about World War III and Iran’s nuclear weapons program ever though he had the information that it had been shut down back in August. Biden calls that irresponsible and insists it’s the same kind of misrepresented, cherry-picked intelligence that led to the invasion of Iraq.
An invasion of Iran would do incredible damage, because it would reinforce those opinions on the streets of the Muslim countries, that this is a war against Islam. Bush's actions are totally counterproductive and makes it more difficult for every moderate Muslim leader, like Karzai, to be able to deal with us. Bush’s threats are incredibly devastating to our interests in the Middle East, from Iraq through Pakistan, as well as our credibility around the world.
Regardless of the moral disapproval of the rest of the world, neocons believe that the only way for us to be able to continue to dominant the 21st century is by using our overwhelming military power to threaten the rest of the world.
The war in Iraq is about our dominating that region of the world and controlling oil. The Bush regime went to war in the hope they would be able to establish a puppet government, which would be indebted to us. Biden claims that the Bush regime has built permanent military bases in Iraq not to steal the oil for American oil companies, but to be able to control the price and access to it. That is Biden's politically correct way of avoiding the term looting, which is a violation of the Geneva Convention.
Biden has directed a group of constitutional scholars to draft a memorandum, which he will distribute to the Senate explaining that if Bush initiates war with Iran, without congressional authorization, he will call for Bush’s impeachment.

Hmmm...Bush and intelligence in the same sentence...
Most of the Western Muslim establishment is comprised of Islamist groups claiming to be moderates. True moderate Muslims reject Islamic supremacy and Sharia; embrace religious equality and democracy.
What is a moderate Muslim? According to a dictionary, a moderate is a person who is opposed to radical or extreme views or measures, especially in politics or religion. Yet, majority of the public seem to be struggling with the definition of a moderate Muslim. Perhaps we can make this task easier by defining a radical Muslim and then defining the moderate as an opposite of the radical.
Muslims Against Sharia compiled a list of issues that differentiate moderate Muslims from Islamic radicals. Hopefully you can help us grow this list.
