Do you support the war and our troops? Why or why not?

ok. so iraq has one of the biggest supplies of oil in the world. so i think that bush's motive is to eliminate the terrorists that could cut off our supply of oil, establish our form of government there, so hopefully iraq will become an ally of ours. this prompts me to believe that our war is a war on terror, not a war on iraq. what do you think?

Bush's lies were used as a justification for launching an invasion and occupation of Iraq which has killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers and thousands of Iraqis and which has and will cost the U.S. taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars (far better spent on health, education and unemployment benefits for the workers whose jobs Bush has shipped overseas). The long-term damage to America is incalculable. Bush's lies amount to a "high crime" under the U.S. Constitution and justify impeachement and removal from office.

And not only Bush. In the run-up to the attack on Iraq Vice-President Dick Cheney claimed that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear program and had recently attempted to purchase uranium, even though he knew (from the report of retired US Ambassador Joseph Wilson, the man he sent to Niger to investigate this) that this was false. He claimed that following an invasion of Iraq the Iraqis would welcome the American soldiers as liberators (instead the Iraqis are killing as many as they can). For his lies as well as his gross errors of judgment (amounting to wishful thinking) Cheney should be impeached and removed from office.

The same is true of Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice and the other neo-cons who did Israel's bidding by launching a war to remove the threat to Israel from Saddam Hussein. All should be swept away. However, as John Kaminski and Michael Ruppert have pointed out, removing Bush and his fellow sleazeballs from power will not fundamentally change the fact (in Ruppert's words), "that the system itself is corrupt and that the people controlling it — both in government, and in America's corporations and financial institutions — are criminals".

with India?

According to Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs John Hillen, "This sale is a presidential priority and a key element of the administration's South Asia strategy unveiled in March 2005, aimed at broadening our strategic relationships with our key regional partners: India, Afghanistan and Pakistan."

I get that Bush wanted to reward Pakistan for it's help in the war on terror, but won't this action create more problems between India and Pakistan, as well as damage the relationship between the US and India?

Iran can't give Lebanon weapons, but America can give it to Israel. Neigbors shouldn't interfere in Iraq, but America has invaded Iraq. No one should have nuclear wepaons, but the one country that has used it. Terrorism is wrong except when perpetrated by the country that exports CIA/Pentagon terror since 1948.

"One of the saddest national failings on immigration issues is the contradiction in demanding that the North respect migrants' rights, which we are not capable of guaranteeing in the South," commission president Jose Luis Soberanes said.

The number of undocumented migrants detained in Mexico rose from 138,061 in 2002 to 240,269 last year. Forty-two percent were Guatemalan, 33 percent Honduran and most of the rest Salvadoran.

Why does our President act the way he is? He behaves. & Thinks like an ape.

Why would you reelect him for another term? I must say that I do not feel save as long as he is in the office. Think about it . . . Media makes from of him throughout the nation, what make you think other countries will not broadcast his actions in their television?

Bush is a laughing matter! No wonder we got attacked.

I have to admit that Bush does look like an ape. Picture yourself. Really . . . close your eyes and visualize his face and a monkey’s. Humm.... do you see what I see?

Oh . . . About a couple weeks ago, Bush made a comment while in a conference with other world leaders. He used profanity and did not realize that they did not turn off his microphone. What a moron.

Anotherr incident, again he was in a conference. He turned to that back lady and ask her whether he could use the bathroom or not.- I am speechless.

I am disgusted by the insensitive answers people give on there. I keep seeing questions about suicide and there are always the smart asses who actually give advice to perhaps mentally instable people about how to do it. It is completely immoral and wrong, even if noone is really thinking of suicide and just joking around. I dont know how any answers could ever be competent and i think that people dont realize what responsibility they assume on their shoulders when they respond in the mental health section. What do you think?

The #1 killer drug in the world is tobacco. Nothing else comes close, but the distant second substance is alcohol. As part of Plan Colombia, the US is backing the aerial spraying of herbicides in Colombia to eradicate coca crops. However, the herbicides don't discriminate between coca and bananas, and people in the region are rightly upset when "innocent" crops are destroyed and concerned about health and safety issues. If the US has the right to spray these herbicides in Colombia, then don't the many countries that are often forced to accept US tobacco into their markets have the right to destroy the tobacco growing in Kentucky and North Carolina?

About ten yrs ago i was away at college and had thought that joining the army was a good idea for me. I called my dad and he told me to wait a few yrs and than join. well a few yrs turned into ten. On my 30th b -day i told my father that it was my time and that i was going to join the Army NG. My dad went off the wall. He told me about what he had gone through with the USMC while in Vietnam. He told me if i joined that i would prob be sent overseas and he does not want me to go through the same things that he did. I KNOW in my heart that joining is what i want to do, but i have to have my dads blessing. Should i just join and tell him or try to get him to see where my heart is?

Can I be liable for sensitive material that allows a clearance if I did not have a security clearance beforehand?

And.. may I speak of the event that happened before my contract agreement with a security clearance even though I've obtained a clearance shortly thereafter? Even if the clearance was forced upon me?

AND...Though my clearance has expired, may I speak of the event which happened before I obtained the security clearance in which still remains classified?

In otherwords, something happened in Iraq ..where I was then charged for something that never took place. Then forced to obtain a security clearance.. Which has now expired... Would exposing this entire incident screw my life over?

I just want to know the technical information.
