Why isn't the U.S. military good enough to defend it's own embassy? There's a U.S. company called Blackwater which was hired to protect it.

They are building a plant in Iran...what's are those 2 nations thinking. Who ever is the idiot who funds the money 1bil., must not be that smart. After the U.S. eventually blows the plant up then Putin will look stupid and Iran would look worse and whoever paid 1 billion dollars for a plant that lasted about 1 week must be killing himself...All that work for nothing.

Pelosi needs a resolution to censure Harry Reid for telling our troops that "the War is LOST". Turkey has been a crucial ally in our War against terrorist. I think that Turkey will consider the source of stupidity and take the smart move to ignore the Democrat jabber from this moron who is way over her head. It is apparent to this Marine, that the Democrats are out only to attack Bush at the cost of U.S. Military lives and safety, including yours!.

When Europe was in trouble because of 5 years against the nazis, America got in and helped defeat the nazis. Im not saying America entered the war because of goodwill, ofcourse it saw the benefits etc..but the thing is it did. IT wasnt his war, he didnt start it, but he got in. Now that America is in trouble, after years of war against arab fundamentalist states ( again im not against the arabs at all!!!!!!! I think they have very good reasons to defend the sovereignity ) but the thing is america is fighting against them.....shouldnt the European Union help now back its old allie? I mean,
just a question....IT would be the polite thing to do...at least.

hardly a week in 2007 has gone by without a gun crime or murder being reported in the press yet the govenment only cares about some vague terror threat (uk only one attack successfull attack since 9/11)
wouldnt we all be safer if the same amount of resources were poured into crime prevention as terrorism?

I'm probably cynical, but my trust in CNN, FOX News, and most of the media is rapidly declining. They all seem to be swayed by politics, or by someone paying them to "push" their products as "news". Can regular citizens see for themselves what comes over the "wire?"

Now that the winter months are dragging in (excuse the pun) I'm just wondering if you think it is right that people enjoying a legal past-time are forced to stand out in the cold and rain? And yes, I am talking about smokers, Labour's modern day pariahs.

Never mind the fact that it is still a legal activity, and that the myth of passive smoking has never been proved. Never mind the fact that without smokers the tax burden on the NHS would increase taxes for everyone in this country.

Is it right that smokers are treated in this way?

"“If I weighed another two stone, had a bigger bosom, people would be more sympathetic,” she told her mother, Susan Healy."

Oh poor you Kate, if only someone had bigger problems than you ....... I dont know, say Madeleine for instance?

This is the same woman who had to be helped into church because of her 'grief' yet went on a 10km run with Gerry the next day.

Your cries for sympathy dont fool me Kate.

Decades of Soviet nuclear testing unleashed a plague of birth defects. When the Soviet Union tested its nuclear devices, it chose eastern Kazakhstan, one of its remotest, most desolate areas. But no one bothered to evacuate the people living there.

The price of oil has risen in the recent days and immediately some gas companies raise their prices. They never paid an increased rate for the gas in their tanks they just increased the price. Do you think they are gouging the consumer. Should the consumer boycott those stations? Check out your neighborhood gas stations.

i heard it was so that we could run their government, that way we get their oil......but what the heck??? who goes to war just for oil?? why kill so many pple, US and the pple in iraq, just to get oil???? there were a couple other questions asking this, but the answers were like way too complicated. so please explain, in plain English, why we would go to war to overrun another country's government, so that we could have control over their oil. correct me if i'm wrong, i dont even know if that's true, its just what i heard. it just seems so irrational that bush would go to such extreme and extremely stupid measures to get oil. is he just stupid or is the war for some other reason?? the whole thing seems kind of dumb and pointless, so, someone, please, explain.

Subject: Fw: Jena 6: Nat'l Black Out Day


Hello everyone, as you may already know, Michayle Bell of the so called
Jena Six has been re-arrested because of some kind of unrelated
violation, his arrest had something to do with the Jena Six Protest, a
technicality I don't understand.
Jena is actually the town where I was born, Michayle is not related to
me. Read the letter below.
Alton / Bell



Hi Everyone,

I don't know where many of you stand regarding the Jena 6 issues, but
the fight continues. I was listening to the Warren Ballentine show on

102.5 in Atlanta and he was talking about a National Black Out day for
us to not spend money. Wherever you stand on the issue of justice, at
the end of the day, money talks and everything else walks. If you are in
support of the Black Out, please read below and forward to everyone you
know and ask them to forward as well. I think if we start putting our
money where our mouth is, people in this country will take us more
seriously. Be sure to bring your lunch on this day as well.



Please spread to at least five other people and make sure you inform
them to send the info to five other people, to spread the word.

National Black Out Day on November 2..Do not make any purchases on this
day but please do not make any major $ amount purchases, the day before
or the day after because then the Black Out will be of no effect. This
is from the Warren Ballentine show; they are asking their listeners to
spread the word for those who may not listen to the show. This is the
second phase from the Jena 6 and many other cities and people of color
are facing similar situation like the Jena 6.

Here is a link to find out a little more about him and his show:
