The Bible we know was passed down through many generations and translated from language to language over the years. Many other writings, traced back to ancient times, can be translated to read differently than do the many versions of the Bible in English today.
Here's one example of how certain things are lost over time. None of the Scrolls of Enoch (Fragments were found with the Dead Sea Scrolls) are included in the Old Testament, but Enoch is mentioned in the Bible as a Prophet who was taken up to return with God because he was so righteous. Why weren't his writings included in the Bible? All but a few of his words were lost.
I believe the original texts of the Bible (as written by the prophets) to have been 100% accurate. It is no longer 100% accurate due to error and corruption by man. Any logical human can see that there are many metaphors, similes, and fables in The Bible. 1000 years in Bible time could represent any length of time. Who knows how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden as immortals?

Is there anywhere in biblical scripture that specifically states that 100% of the Bible is the word of G-O-D? I'm not an expert on said text, but maybe someone can clarify this for me.

Here's the thing that bothers me, I have heard that the bible is "the word of god given to man". so if that is the case, then isn't it blasphemy to NOT take the bible literally? because god is omniscient, omnipresent and other omnis right? so he knows better than us as to the correct behavior, so we should stone our neighbors if they are wearing more than two types of cloth.

You're right about the fact that other countries' economies need not suffer because of one man's mistake.
That's not what these other countries are arguing!!!!! China's economy is one of the most stable in the world right now despite what the US economy is doing. With that in mind, why would the official newspaper of the Communist Party in China be calling for the US to be forced into having less relevance? What could be their motive? It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
...but that's not all. Why would a Muslim news organization be portraying Putin in a positive light when he speaks out against the US? Muslims? Praising Putin?????
Let's think about what's going on here.

Japan should never have joined the side of evil.
Japanese people love the US. Even survivors of the bomb have a great respect for our country.

Barbara Boxer stated that she received 10's of thousands of phone calls and emails about the recent "bail out" package. The overwhelming majority of which told her to vote NO.
Can you guess what her vote was? She said that the people didn't understand the Bill. I always knew that woman was trouble.
Elected officials are to represent the people. When the Mayor or the Congressman or the President no longer pay attention to the will of the people, we lose our freedoms. That's where we're headed and I don't like it.
