Saudis flew the planes into the Trade Towers – and Bush attacked Iraq.

Saudis provide most of the support for Iraqi insurgents – and Bush wants to attack Iran.

How can we expect the world to take us seriously when our President is so obviously a buffoon?

Nothing to do with the Hamsters crash! I can't believe that Hick Country Americans took the slogans on the Cars the Top Gear Team drew up as offensive. (Sunday 11th January episode) They don't have the slightest sense of humour and really need a life. If you cant have fun at yourself then whats the point of living? We barate ourselves over everything, yet when a group of trucks with rocks and baseball bats showed up...I think they overreacted a bit. Truely America...Get a life, find things funny. It's why no one likes you!

I heard an American on the UK TV news last Thursday telling me this was the case with the UK forces.

I was suprised.

There was me thinking they were fighting for their lives and liberty.

I just had an argument with my boss who made the assertion above. He said that they are interfering in Afghanistan, have hundreds of radical schools teching hate and murder, are almost at a state of war with India and are that they have nationals living in England who are trying to attack it from within.

I said his argument was simplistic.

What do you all think?

Why don't the NATO and Afgan troops crush them before they get started, or are they going to wait untill they wreck the damm so the west can pour more money into the country to be wasted again.

I remember after all this started coming out about the Valerie Plame thing, that Scooter Libby said vice president Chaney told him to leak the story to the press. Does anyone else remember this, and why isn't that part of the issue anymore?

And if that's the case anyone think that banning guns in America would reduce their gun crime?

And before all the rednecks start harping on about the constitution, if a single innocent life could be saved yet 'the right' to bear arms is removed wouldn't it be worth it?

Subject: NO COFFEE FOR THE MARINES (Not StarBucks anyway)







NO COFFEE FOR THE MARINES

Their coffee is tasting more and more bitter.....

STARBUCKS DENIES COFFEE TO MARINES

Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them
know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send some
of it to the troops there.

Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support of their
business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it,
and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee.

So as not to offend Starbucks, maybe we should not support them by buying
any of their products! As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we
should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular
with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the
ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I
believe is right.

If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it
and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support. I know
you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

in Iraq, wouldn't it make more sense to create a small neighborhood say at a corner of four square blocks, surround it with a wall, allow no one to leave, and bring in food supplies to them, rather than allow people to head into open markets where terrorists can set off powerful bombs? The military can check out each person to make sure they are not a terrorist. They could also set up a school in their for children. They could create a safe mosque. As they make a neighborhood 'secure' they could expand. It seems like a safer alternative over seeing 70 to 150 or more innocent people killed each week. Why hasn't the U.S. military considered this? At this point, allowing people to walk around is not an option any longer. It's too dangerous. With a small compound, they might better secure it from rock and grenade attacks, too. Granted, this might smack in the face of Democracy U.S. style, but shouldn't life be more important for the moment over flag-waving politics?

Instead of acting like it's not my problem? Until it becomes a
Monster? And then wanting to kill somebody over it?
How about owning up to simple human errors, and just fixing
the problems?

I've been hearing rumors that Anna Nicole and her son, Daniel have been having an affair. He couldn't deal with having sired a child with his mother and commited suicide. Now Anna Nicole been very depressed over the truth coming out. So she decided to end her life?

Or is it possible that Anna Nicole was addicted to drugs. A habit she passed on to her son. That their deaths were evitable. That E channel is to blame as they saw the mess that was Anna Nicole life but were more interested in cheap entainment than quality entertainment journalism. Do you think that when we the public see a celebrity in dire need of help. That we should speak up. thru emails,letters and phone calls to the networks to help the star and not just film them.

Which do you think is the truth?

:A diplomatic source said North Korea had demanded the United States and four other countries provide it with 2 million tonnes of heavy fuel oil annually -- worth about $600 million"

Only $600 million? What the hell, that is peanuts compared to the hundreds of billions a year Bush is spending on Iraq. Why Doesn't Bush allot $600 towards NK as the money would be spent on Terror, right?

USA doesn't want the issue to go away because they will make more money with NK as a threat. Japan and others will buy Billions and billions of military equipment from the USA only as long as they have a threat over there.

NK is America's cash cow, why shoot it?
