News & Events - February 2007

Romney, a Mormon, and Obama, a former disciple of Islam, are running for US president. Personally, if those are the choices, I cannot vote for anyone with a radical Islamic backround(studied in a madras in Indonesia in his youth) to run our country in a war against radical Islam, IMO. I look forward to your comments and responses.

I get the idea that when people (politicians especially) mention the "Iraqi people", that the "Iraqi people" need this or deserve that, they really aren't being clear on exactly who they are referring to.

I am just looking for a clear cut answer as to which ethnic groups (shiite, kurds, etc.) America is and isn't supporting militarily and politically in the current conflict in Iraq. Also, a very brief summary of the history of the different ethnic groups in Iraq would be really helpful. Thanks.

What do they mean exactly? It isn't 3,000 individuals, because each person isn't a troupe. Or do they mean over 3,000 soldiers? Is each soldier a troupe?

All liberals and outspoken democrats have an anti-Bush, anti- American agenda. That is a fact (whether they know it or not)... Do you really believe the liberals are all about saving the lives of the mostly republican armed forces ?....Or are they all about defeating Bush, republicans, conservatism, and gaining more power in Washington ? What do you think ?

I have notice that President Bush and President of Iran are an enemy . They were argued about something I doesn't remember. Do you think we will have other war with Iran?

We already have a war against the terror in Iraq and Afghstian. And also North Korean want to send the nuclear to bomb our country. I feel that our President isn't lister to us and what we want.

2. If there is a possible World War III, where would it be more likely to occur around and would it occur in the United States heavily like would we see people die and bombing US everywhere?

So Dumbyah once again is displaying supposed evidence of a country's attempts to kill Americans with the accusations against Iran.
Once again, some officials (in this case, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) are publicly disagreeing with the Dumbyah.
So here is the question, and maybe someone has already asked Dumbyah, but:

"How can we depend on any evidence that is based on intelligence coming from your administration after the "WMD in Iraq" debacle?
You and your administration were as certain of WMDs in Iraq as you claim to be now with the Iranian government supplying weapons to the insurgency in Iraq."

THE DIXIE CHICKS, DID THEY EARN THEIR GRAMMY's?
HERE IS YOUR SHOT TO LAY DOWN THE FACTS ON WHY THE DIXIE CHICKS EARNED ALL OF THEIR 2007 GRAMMY'S. I DONT THINK THEY DID, I THINK THEIR A "PAPER" CHAMPION OF THE EXTREME LEFT, BUT AS A MODERATE, I BELIEVE EVERYONES VOICE SHOULD BE HEARD. SO, HERE IT IS, YOUR SHOT AT LETTING THE GRAMMY'S AND THE DIXIE CHICKS KNOW JUST WHAT YOU, THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, THINKS ABOUT THE LATEST ATTEMPT OF POLITICIZING THE LATEST AWARD SHOW.

MY OPINON, MARY J BLIGE WORKED HARDER, SOLD MORE RECORDS, AND EARNED THE RIGHT TO WIN THE GRAMMYS. THE CMA AWARDS DIDNT EVEN GIVE THE DIXIE CHICKS ANYTHING. IN THE CMA, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU EARN A AWARD THERE THAN GIVEN ONE.

PS: ARE WE AT A POINT TO WHERE POLITICS ARE TAKEN TO THE POINT IN THE MEDIA TO WHERE WE NOW HAVE AWARD SHOWS CREATING "PAPER" CHAMPIONS IN ORDER TO GIVE THEM AN OUTLET TO EXPRESS THEIR POLITICAL VIEW?

So it's this skydiver, apparently he's an instructor
Apparently he's been skydiving for a long time, he's really good at it. Anyways, so he makes a regular jump at 15 000 feet, he has a camera attached to his helmet. At 6000 feet he realizes his chute isn't working and chucks it. At 4000 feet he realizes his backup doesn't work....so he belives he's going to die...he doesn't even scream as the camera shows....

He falls straight to the earth, lands on a bush....survives! He was conscious the entire time, only has a broken leg.

His friend comes running to him, asking "are you okay"
His response "no"

lucky mofo right? Wow, that's amazing, just thought I'd share it...
