Yes or No?

Why?

What are we doing there?

Were they ever an imminent threat to us?

Any weapons of mass destruction found??? (i dunno thats why im asking genuninely)

Have things improved since we went there?

Has the standard of living changed in Iraq for citizens there? Are they happier to be relieved of Saddam?

Are we safer since our military's presece there? Or are we still vulnerable to terrorist attacks? Or we are in the same security level as 2003?

As the terrorist activity gone down since our presence there? Are the threat levels to us much lower now?

do you really think that this family is upper/lower or even middle class? For those who defend them, purely on
grounds of class, have you e ver met anyone in this category?
I am not getting at obese people here but I can't fail to wonder why a so called cardiologist tolerates this sort of weight in a close relative.

The entire scientific community has been warning us for decades, yet many people still chose to believe the words of a couple of so-called "experts" hired by oil companies and the Bush administration (oil-family). The cigarette companies also had "experts" claiming that cigarettes weren't addictive and didn't cause cancer. What's your explanation?

its like every day i watch the news alot of the time the media s more focused on celebrities like.. dannylyn...i mean,.idnt giv a damn bout the baby.its not special.... and like how theyr ore focused about what a celebrity is doing and eating than care about what s going on in america!!

i mean on alot of advertisements they mostly show noting but adults and kids..it sems like thye do more for asults and could care less about teens and they assume that all teens are stupid. or do stupid things for no reason,or that thry not allowed to do this etc..

couldn they atleast do alittle more for teens instead of having their heads in celebrities asses 24/7??

if the average person died(thye ad no fam e or nothing) they woudnt really care. but if a celbrity dies then its world wirde and is talked about 4 days.wats up with that?

if you sell your home and make a profit is that considered gouging the market, are you a thief, should you go back to where ever you came from, did you manipulate the economy....gas station owners do not dictate the price of oil, WE ALL DO, not the war, not Mr Bush, not global warming, and not whatever other non sense you can think of.....since when is it illegal to make a profit???

Oh, and make sure you read the question completely. Good gravey Im gonna get people bashing me because you think Im bashing Bush....lol

Why did it go to war with Iraq? Didn't Jesus say: Blessed be the peace-keepers for theirs is the kingdom of heaven? What about his concern for the poor? Isn't the US government against the poor? Don't they pay all the taxes while corporations pay nothing? Is it hypocritical to claim you are a Christian when you deny asylum to the poor?

It seems my good friend - Mr. Blair - still hasn't realised that he is at fault for his bad press. Who do you blame for their bad press....the public figures or the media for reporting it? Personally, I hate seeing celebrities harrassed but I hate cover ups more. How much of these evil press men's words do you believe?

Who are your favorite talk show hosts? Do you think talk radio is biased? And if it is, how do you think that bias effects politics? How honest do you think talk radio is? How much do you trust the hosts you like?

Why can't people call them as they see it? What is wrong with Dan Rather saying the CBS has tarted up and dumbed down the news? The market seems to agree. I can totally understand where Dan Rather is coming from. He is old scool new anchor and form his perspective, the news is delivered by Katie Currick in a softball way. And BTW, the market seems to prefer hardcore news, if you judge it by the ratings.

Senator Libermans comments regarding Iraq are " right on" Thank god he has the courage to speak up and go against the usual Democratic talking points. Senator Liberman has the wisdom to recognice who the real bad guys are!! No I do not want to start a war with Iraq! They must know they cannot kill American Servicemen and women and be allowed to get away with it, without any consequences. Its a shame his fellow Dems threw Liberman under the bus during the primary! Am I off base on this too?

I thought Al Gore (while not my favorite candidate) was at least an honest man. Then I saw this speech he gave after the first Iraq war and now I lump him in with all the other politicians. What an "about face" huh? He's so against the war? Not according to this rant. your thoughts?

I mainly read my news online, so I don't know about major newspapers, but I only noticed the California beef recall when it was on the yahoo most searched list. It should be on all major headlines!!! This is the food we EAT! Here is a portion of the FDA press release:
WASHINGTON, June 3, 2007 - United Food Group, LLC, a Vernon, Calif., establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 75,000 pounds of ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today. The problem was discovered through sampling done by the California Department of Health Services and the Colorado Department of Health, in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the course of an investigation into illnesses. The ground beef products were produced on April 20 and were shipped to retail distribution centers in Arizona, California, Colorado, Oregon and Utah.

Bush right after 9/11: "As for Bin Laden we will smoke him out of his cave. I recall seeing a poster out west saying 'wanted, Dead or Alive'.

So where is he? Hiding in a cave? Gimme a break. Bush isn't bothering with Bin Laden, he focused his attention to Iraq, and saddam Hussein. A nation that had nothing to do with 9/11, nor had Zero weapons of mass destruction and did not listen to the top weapons inspectors who said there was no evidence of WMD's.

We have top of the line high tech technology to do incredible things, but we can't find Bin Laden hiding in a cave? Apparently, war protesters voicing their opinions peacefully are more of a threat than Bin Laden.

So Yes, Osama has Bin Forgotten, or yet, ignored. Could it be the Bushites are in bed with him? Bin Laden couldn't be any more pleased.

We are looking to possibly move to the Lake. We are wanting to get an idea of jobs and housing. Does anyone know of the names of the Newspapers down there so we may try to look at them online.
I've done a few searches, but nothing really.
