Today Bush has said that we're at war against "Islamic facists." To me, it's discriminating my religion because he thinks that every terrorists are islamic descent. Haven't we learned in the Miami terror plot in June that the would-be terrorists are not from Islamic descent but from Hatian descent. I think that he should get the boot!!

sounds wierd but true a trained monkey can reach the 85 - 90 IQ bracket which is the same as Bush . Clinton had the highest IQ of those tested and Bush the lowest of all the presidents. and no im not affiliated to any US party its just a fact.

... it's often said by Republicans that Clinton's economic boom was a result of actions taken during the Reagan admin. and that economic policy takes years to produce an effect...

so is the "economic boom" of today that Republicans talk about a result of Clinton's policies?

another queston: Was Jimmy Carter's economic woes a result of Nixon's/Ford's incompetence?

Just wondering?

How many of you voted for Bush and why? I voted for Bush simply because he is against abortion and gay marriage...maybe thats wrong but those are my beliefs...

Seems to me every time I read about Bush he is either traveling around the world - or at his ranch in Texas.

This question has plagued me for many years... who would win in an all out battle to the death.. Lady Liberty or Honest Abe? Remember, even though she is bigger, she is also a french chick, and Lincoln may look a little on the scrawny side, but he is wiry for sure.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Political appointees, CIA officers and former military personnel would not face prosecution for humiliating or degrading wartime prisoners under amendments to a war crimes law drafted by the Bush administration, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

ADVERTISEMENT

The amendments are part of the administration's three-pronged response to a June 29 Supreme Court ruling that struck down as illegal and a violation of the Geneva Conventions the military tribunal system set up to try Guantanamo prisoners, the Post said.


The court's ruling gave prisoners captured in Afghanistan protections under the Geneva Conventions, which the administration previously maintained did not apply to them.

This is a slippery slope - or does every one think it's a necesity?

I had a paycheck mailed to me from Austin, TX on Friday morning and it still has not arrived in Madison, WI. It was sent 1st Class. Should I be concerned that it has not shown up yet?

Like the movie Red Dawn where troops actually landed in America what would you do? Would you fight? Would you run? Would you run to the otherside to save your own *** ?Or like the movie would you get together with others and fight them Gurellia Warfare style??

I guess the main question is should the details in the DS-156 application form be as they are when I fill out the visa application or as they are when I actually attend the visa interview at the US consulate in Mumbai (6 months after now)?

Its an H4 dependent visa application so it gets most confusing when I am filling up the question on my marital status. Should it be single or married?

Thanks in advance!

Air taser gun cartidges are one shot fire and its done. I've been considering buying a taser. The only way to practice with it though would end up costing me like $500. (Cartidges are usually $25-$40) depending on brand/type. Or does anyone know of a way to "reload" taser cartidges.
