Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch points to what the military calls "Concerned Citizens" — both Shiites and Sunnis who have joined the American fight. He says he's signed up 20,000 of them in the past four months.

Keaveny attributes the startling decline to a decrease in attacks by militants who are being rounded up in big numbers on information provided by the citizen force — which has literally doubled the number of eyes and ears available to the military
People are fed up with fear, intimidation and being brutalized. Once they hit that tipping point, they're fed up, they come to realized we truly do provide them better hope for the future. What we're seeing now is the beginning of a snowball," said Keaveny, whose forces operate out of Forward Operating Base Kalsu, about 35 miles south of Baghdad.

I am asking this because I have seen a lot of posts over the past few days about bullying on here and I would just like to know people's personal experiences and whether they were resolved or ongoing.

Thanks in advance

They rebuilt New Orleans, still below sea level. Those fires in California are just a regular thing, Florida’s Hurricane season is just an annual cycle. Should people living in places that get constantly hit by the same natural disaster be eligible for Federal assistance? Seems like a lost cause, building something over and over knowing that it will just be knocked down again.

These fires are going to cost so much in reconstruction. One of our largest states is going to need so much help so again how can our government justify still asking for billions to fight this BS war?

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - The rapid spread in Latin America of the virus that causes AIDS is made worse by the Roman Catholic Church's stand against using condoms, a U.N. official said on Monday. Some 1.7 million people across Latin America are infected with the HIV virus or full-blown AIDS, & the epidemic is spreading swiftly with up to 410,000 new cases in 2006, up from as many as 320,000 new cases in 2004, according the UN AIDS program, UNAIDS.

"In Latin America the use of condoms has been demonized, but if they were used in every relation I guarantee the epidemic would be resolved in the region," said Alberto Stella, the UNAIDS Coordinator for Honduras, Nicaragua & Costa Rica.

The Catholic Church, which holds sway in Latin America despite the rise in evangelical churches, opposes all forms of contraception & instead promotes abstinence as a way to avoid spreading AIDS. "The fact young people start to be sexually active between 15 & 19 without

It seems that for nearly 20years since the u.s. and france agreed to share rights over the creation(discovery) of aids, it has become a cash cow. Aid agencies around the world, neocolonialist powers and of course multi-national drug companies are raking in the dough. It seems that aid agencies quickly discovered that you can raise more money with something comfortable westerners can get rather than something they have never seen like malaria. This way your donation allows poor people to be used a lab rats for a vaccine. Most aids in africa (which is a different strain from the american one, ironically) can be cured with clean water, aspirin or antibiotics. Nobel laureates, scientist and world leaders all are being drowned out by the racist myth of monkey sex and drug use. In a generation people will wonder why so much time was spent on curing a phantom disease instead of riding the world of a real weapon of mass destruction. How do people REALLY get aids? study your answers 1st.

SAN DIEGO - Thousands more residents were ordered to evacuate their expensive homes Tuesday, bringing the number of people chased away by the wind-whipped flames that have engulfed Southern California to at least 300,000.


The dozen wildfires have burned more than 700 expensive homes and set 245,957 acres — 384 square miles — ablaze, and the destruction may only be the start for the region. Tuesday's forecast called for hotter temperatures and more explosive Santa Ana gusts.

Answer: The Iraq War is all about US government corruption and Congress's blindness to do anything about it. It is a story about government corruption at its highest levels and how these people manipulated the law and people to get away with murder. Was Saddam an ugly ogre or a threat to the world? The true answer is "no" as reflected by the US CIA in 1990! Did Saddam murder millions of his people and commit ugly atrocities like the use of chemical weapons on his own people?

Answer: Saddam did not kill millions of his own people and he did not gas millions. 13,000 were killed by chemical weapons, while the US government used Agent Orange on many more in Vietnam!

Truth: Saddam put down US government inspired rebellions in his country (such is illegal). It is our government that is the ugly ogre!

That the results of the hair and fluids have come back "inconclusive" as to whether Madeleine was alive or dead and that "traces" of Madeleine were found in Murats house.
Is this where the cover up begins in earnest.

the more I am convinced the Ocean Club Manager is an accesory to Madeleines' abduction?

1) He is involved in room allocations.
2) He knows who is expected to arrive at the Ocean Club, weeks in advance. He will know, party size and child ages.
3) He is local
4) He can watch peoples movements & activities, & know when they are in and out of their room with Electronic Key Swipe Cards.
5) He said he had called the police but HAD NOT.
6) He took 50 minutes to call the police after the alarm was raised by Kate McCann
7) His DNA is all over the Ocean Club resort and would have been discovered in room 5a if the Police & HE had not agreed the room could be re-let & if the Police had not been smoking and using Mobiles in there during the forensics search.
8) Why doesn't he let anyone but guests into the building these days?

Finally - WHO IS HE - What does he look like? Has he been interrogated?

What do y'all think?

first it was Gerry who 'murdered' Maddy, now people have switched their attention to Kate

Theres a lot of users on here who have been answering/asking question regarding the McCanns since day one.
But i find it amazing that their theories for the case have changed so dramatically!

Can anyone remember when people were saying it was Gerry who done it
and Kate was nothing more than a battered wife?

I have respect for people who believe in something so strongley and their opinons dont falter at the first sign of media speculation

Portugal’s police lack expertise in investigating child abduction cases and the theory that Madeleine McCann was taken by an abductor should not be ruled out, the nation’s most senior law officer said yesterday.

Fernando José Pinto Monteiro, the Attorney General, added that he could not guarantee that officers were acting within the bounds of the law.

In an interview with a Portuguese newspaper, Mr Monteiro said: “I think phone tapping in Portugal is done too much. I myself have many doubts that my phones are not being tapped.” Kate and Gerry McCann believe that their phone calls have been listened to, as questions put to them in police interviews appeared to be based on information gleaned from conversations with their friends.

Asked whether, as Portugal’s most senior legal officer, he could assure the public that police were not acting “freewheel”, Mr Monteiro admitted: “No, I can’t guarantee that.”
