He said we initally invaded the Middle East to oust Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda but, once there, he changed the agenda to getting rid of Hussein and finding the evil WMD (like we dont have any of those). Now he's on the rampage against Iran... and Bin Laden is STILL at large!!
How long are we going to believe this fairytale? Bush lied to the world and about half of us STILL believe it!
Do YOU?
Can you imagine the effect this will have on our country after Bush leaves office?
I'm kinda afraid.

My question is this..... How can we live in the same world as these total idiots? Thank goodness we still have our nukes and they do not have them yet. I am certain we will need to use them against these cockroaches. Or is this Bushs fault also?

I know most of you are going to say it all has to do with money. But doesn't it seem like the most legal and humane thing to do is find out who the daddy is now. Why wait? I know it has all turned into a media circus, but really, why the hold up? I don't get it.

I just love how right wingers accuse me of 'hating freedom' because I oppose the war in Iraq.
The British will soon be withdrawing troops from iraq- does that mean Tony Blair 'hates freedom'? I tuned in to a couple of right wing radio shows, and some callers were calling for reprisals on the UK if they pull out from Iraq. Typical right wing thinking...

The American presence in Iraq has got to end, but as Arlo Guthrie put it, "If you want to end wars and stuff, you've gotta learn to sing louder than THAT!" SO, where are all the voices? About two out of three Americans want troop de-escalation....Again, where are the voices?

When U think about it the poeple who cross the boarders every day commit crimes ranging from misdemenors to felionies. do we as a country have the right and responsiblity to prevent and detur any and all crimes both domestic and foriegn? In regards to the Dog he was doing the right thing there is no way the federalies or the us should be in the middle of this dispute. the whole thing is a trumped up charge, if the people in charge of the la jail couldnot keep this man in custody the why was he allowed out ?? They should have made him surrender his passport and other papers and submit to eletric monitoring. As far as me and my boyfriend are concerned "Dog" was doing his job and then some to keep our streets safe from preditors like that.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (CNN) -- All Nathan Moore says he wanted to do was smoke pot and get drunk with his friends.

Killing Rex Baum was never part of the plan that day in 2004.

"It all started off as a game," Moore said.

Price of oil is dropping...yet gas prices are rising...??!!

Don't get too excited about alternative energy prospects. Not only are the laws of physics non-negotiable, but the forces that be will make SURE anything that comes on mainstream will be MONOPOLIZED...see the increase in corn prices? Tied to Ethanol production(which is basically worthless "filler" to stretch out volume).

So if we go Solar to re-charge batteries for electric cars...a solar grid will NOW be...$10,000.

Look at the price of diesel...costs MUCH less to produce than gas(and they use a LOT of this stuff in industry), yet strangely enough, it costs about 50 cents MORE than a gallon of regular gas(Big-Oil did NOT want you to see any real savings in your MPG, so they took it out of your pocket right now).

I can ONLY imagine what a battery pack wil cost at the Toyota dealership when that Prius battery pack goes 86...half the cost of a car?

I am amused how we consider this child to be a "miracle", but do the woman who dispose of their "fetuses" for the sake of convenience feel the same way? Looking at body parts in a stainless steel bucket, in little pieces?

Can you imagine...about 50,000,000 miracles at the bottom of America's landfills...since 1973.

I sometimes wonder about "laws" and "rights". It was once my right in this country to own slaves...is this a moral issue? A cultural issue? Are man's laws a guide or a moral compass?

Over the weekend, the Washington Post broke this story--disabled veterans living in rat-invested quarters--while Bush only visits those in the nice showpiece facilities across the street.

Now the White House doesn't want to answer questions about this neglet of our troops who have suffered permanent disabiity in the service of thieir country.

So who's picking up the ball? Who is moving in to fix this situation--and investigate how this injustice occurred?

The Democrats. Bush can't be bothered to even comment--I guess being seen with a vet trapped in a rodent invested room isn't a good photo op. So much for who really cares about our soldiers.

He signs a cheap oil deal with Chavez of Venezuela. Is Ken Livingstone a complete moron? What the heck is this guy thinking? Why would he sign a deal with an oppresive dictator who is systematically undoing democracy in Latin America and has an abysmal human rights record? Why would London, one of the world's richest cities, need to strike a deal for cheap oil for its disadvantaged citizens? Ken Livingstone is another example of the absurdity of socialism.

my friends and i are debating if africa is in as much turmoil as we see on the news. one person believes all of africa is behind in everything, from technology, to human rights, to civilization. another says that africa is a thriving country simular to and even more advance than america and that a very small percent (5-10) of the entire continent is in turmoil.she feels the tales on the tv are hard luck stories. i believe it is 50/50. while i am smart enough to know that africans are not running around in loin cloths i do not believe that the vast majority of the continent is fuctuning at what my american mind feels is the norm. i might add that we are all african americans with little contact with native africans,. the few we have met are not as forthcoming with us outsiders.please if you know or you are an african please chip in. we need to know the truth so our ignorance does not consume us. what is africa like
could you relocated to africa they way people relocate to america
