(Reuters) - The United States & Syria locked horns on Tuesday, with Washington urging others to join it in imposing sanctions on Damascus,
and with Syria telling America to stop trying to impose its will on Arabs. Syria told the UN General Assembly that the world pays the price when the U.S. government thinks it knows what Arabs want better than the Arabs themselves.

"We'd like to get some others to join us in other kinds of sanctions",Rice told The Wall Street Journal yesterday.
In his U.N. speech, Rice's Syrian counterpart said it was essential that the U.S. and other countries draw up a schedule for withdrawing from Iraq. He insisted it would help
curb the violence there.

"Tragically enough, we all end up paying the price when the decision makers in Washington believe that they know better, and are in a better position to understand and grasp the needs and circumstances of the Arabs," The Foreign Minister said.

I'll spot you folks, and give you the two obvious ones, George
Washington, and Eisenhower.Name the four others.

MAJOR HINT: They were all inaugurated in the 1800's.
And its not the coward Grover Cleveland, who paid a poor, hapless
kid to serve for in him in the civil war for $150. God punished him for that one by dying in office......LOL

If the war in Iraq and Afganistan are going so well as the republicans say; why don't they hold their 2008 Presidential convention there?
They should use the same armored vehicles, vests and level of security as they did for our young men and women fighting over there.

Miss Drizla was accused of trying to 'blackmail' two judges one of whom she had an affair with. Could this be a case of the judiciary looking after their own?. Or am being cynical ?

Why do some morons come on here and try and justify having a pet rotteweiler as a family pet and then declare it is safe for their children to play around. They truly are the most stupid ill judged cretins and probably after two awful incidents with these dogs in the last week kid themselves on that they are right. I would guess if two incidents happened like this in the last week then roughly 100 innocent children get mauled per year in this country by devil dogs. These dogs are bred to fight they are not pets. Anyway if you own one of these beasts pray it does not attack children, because i would pray that you get it back in kind through karma. Rant over.

This is sort of a trick question as the Marines, being amphibeous,
are de facto part of the Navy, so you really want to include them
as Navy as well. The Air Force was part of the Army till WW2,
after it became its own center of influence.
If you are or were military, try to ignore the collective results of the Army-Navy football game please(Navy leads 50-49 at this time, BTW)

In all serious, which branch, US Army or Navy, carries more gravitas in the present day?
I say Army, just from the sheer numbers of soldiers, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'll be the first to admit I'm omitting the Air Force, but I consider
it a de facto adjunct of the Army, and a pure softing up force
for the Army as well. Plus, the Air Force, as far as I can see, takes
marching orders from the other two branches, if anything.
Well, what do you think? What branch carries more weight,
Army or Navy?

You can't sue because you eat the stuff, so what's the point? Are we now being ordered to not eat junk if we want? I hope fast food frachises sue. This is ridiculus. No fat in NYC and no goose liver in Chicago. Geez.

Why has the military machine in the USA always been under civilian control? Why the disjunct between the joint chiefs of staff
and the civilian secretary of Defense?
I know the constitution is the easy explanation, but I believe
the South American and Central American countries have
checks and balances written into their constitutions as well,
so why have we never had a military junta in the USA?
To what extent is the us military REALLY under control of the
US civilian gov't? Don't we have a lot of revolving door action between defence contractors and the military establishment
and the us gov't itself? How about all the presidents that were
military men, which includes just about all of them?

To put it simply, who is running the show?

lets create a country. build a wall around it 100m high. let the extremists live life as they want it. no modern technologies. no tv, no phones, no planes cars or nuclear bombs. indoor toilets? probably not. so put all muslims in this country and let them have their sharia law. we will continue to live life as normal, murder, greed, blasphemy, sloth, hunger, etc all the things that makes us us. let them have their islamic state and let them stay in it. if there are no muslims outside of this state then we cant do aything wrong to annoy the extremists. in 200years we will have reached the end of our galaxy. they might have invented disaposable razors

Imagine the oppression, victimisation, stealing of land, killing of civilians carried out by the fake state of Israel against the Palestians.

How far would a people have to be pushed before certain individuals amongst them would give their own lives to seek some revenge as "suicide bombers" and show they will not lay down to be murdered, raped and abused?

When will you fools wake up and realise Israel owns your media, runs your government and everything on your news is thinly veiled propaganda?

-Taken from an article on yahoo news-

"WASHINGTON - The White House refused Wednesday to release in full a previously secret intelligence assessment that depicts a growing terrorist threat and has fueled the election-season fight over the Iraq war. Press secretary Tony Snow said releasing the full report, portions of which President Bush declassified on Tuesday, would jeopardize the lives of agents who gathered the information. "

I don't know, seems a little suspicious to me.
