The president said the Senate effort (for a no-confidence vote for Al Gonzales) was irrelevant. Bush thinks that Congress is irrelevant, American people in it's majority are irrelevant, peace is irrelevant, death of more Americans in Iraq irrelevant... Why aren't we having a no-confidence vote on the monkey?

Will it be quick and decisive? Drawn out and uncertain?

How do you think it will go? Will we need a draft, in order to have suitable troop numbers?

Will it be a roaring success, or the linchpin of stunning calamity?

A woman was shot dead in Sevenoaks this morning by Police who were called as she was spotted in the street with a gun.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20070611/tuk-uk-britain-shooting-fa6b408.html (hope link works for you??)

Does anyone know, do the Police agree what they are going to do before they take aim? Do they say "Shoot to kill" or do they sometimes agree to injure them badly so they de-arm them?

Just interested.

N korea and Iran are bad countries according to the USA, but if you try to stop them...how come you dont try to stop Israel too? you should treat all equally. I would have said yeah help isreal they are alone in the middle east, YEAR AGO! when i was like five! but now! i look at the pictures of middle eastern children and all the damage done by the israelis and i'm starting to see how they get treated different.

How many publications approximately are there together over the world?
Number of publications just in English language would also help.
It is for my thesis on media naming :)

Surely it would make so much more sense, the name McCann features more prominantly than Madeline, it distracts from the fact she is a child. Team McCann sounds like a football team, that can't be good for publicity could it??

How long will it be before everyone realises that they are also making off with the money that was for finding Madeleine?

I don't recall any bad storms or anything. What do you think happened?

the McCanns duck out of the spotlight.

Co-incidence?

Will they never let us get to the bottom of what went on that night?

Or should they reclaim their country from becoming a third world toilet, that it will undoubtedly become. Muslims aspire to live in the dark ages, proof is any muslim country on the planet even the countries with oil. Come 2040 with declining european populations and increased migration and childbirth muslims will be the majority in holland so should the dutch expell them all or be conquered by a backward people.

It's been said on the tv and in the press that after the trip to Morocco that the parents of Maddie need time to grieve....does this mean that they think their daughter is dead and are giving up hope of finding her alive?

Reading an interview today with John McCann (Maddies Uncle), he says.

"We have the compassionate world on our side. Anyone with a shred of decency is on our side."

Actually Im on Madeleine's side there John. You know her, the little girl your brother decided was less important than his lobster dinner. How could I have a shred of decency by wanting to fund two criminals lifestyles. You know, to pay for their lawyers fees, get free travel around the world, free accomodation. How could I live with myself if I condoned that John???

Then later on in the article this gem.

"Money is what these b******s listen to."

Although he's talking about the kidnappers, I couldnt help but think 'John, I couldnt agree more about Team McCann'

If you lost your wedding ring (which is infinitely precious to you) while playing carelessly on a beach, would you spread the word that you had friends scouting the beach for it OR would you shut your mouth & go sulking off to a resort & let your friends nab the thief wearing it?

The McCanns may have made a reprehensible mistake by letting their children alone in an hotel room.

But I think they are admirable in their efforts to find their eldest daughter.

Rome, Spain, Germany, Netherlands and now Morroco.

I'm sure they won't let their two younger children alone ever again, and if they ever happened to find Madeleine they would love her even more, and would be overprotective over her until she was at least 60 or until they died.

Lets face it, the tour will have to end and their fame will start the downwards spiral. Also i think the media would give them more of a grilling for being irresponsible in the first place.

Or do you think that in a couple of years you will be watching 'true movies' with the 'McCann Story' lol some american cheesy film.

I think its time they end the charade and just go and pick Maddie up from where ever they left her.

Whats the point of The Sun heralding its campaign of putting up posters of 'Find Madeleine' everywhere in Morocco when hardly any bugger is going to be able to read what the case is about since its all in English.

Surely having the posters in Arabic might have made a wee bit more sense.

How do you think that drivers in the USA, especially average income or below average people are coping with the sudden rise in gasoline prices at the pump since hurricane Katrina?

From the news, I have gathered that the demand for gasoline has actually increased slightly since last year, which I understand is a normal increase percentage wise.

However, to cope with higher prices at the pump, are the majority of drivers shifting a lot more gas purchases to credit and delaying paying the increases?

Has there been a large increase in the sales of new and used more fuel effecient vehicles and a noticable increase of used and new gas guzzlers for sale?

Is there a possibility that all of this credit used for gasoline purchases will become too much of a burden for some, eventually causing a rise in interest and provoke mild inflation?

How can the US economy continue to asorb the added costs of fuel without a eventual sharp rise in the cost of goods and services?

Do you think that the attacks on America were just as bad as when America attacked Japan by dropping the bomb on Hiroshima? I think that sadly, what goes around comes around. America killed thousands more people in Japan by the bomb they dropped, so what does George Bush expect, when America does things like this to other countrys?

How come the news media spends a lot of time focusing on stupid, random, irrelevant topics when there is a war going on and thousands of people are getting murdered every day? Should we spend less time being involved in Paris Hilton's life and more on the decisive issues like Iraq and the World Economy?
