BIG SHOCK!!

Bush Now Says What He Wouldn’t Say Before War: Iraq Had ‘Nothing’ To Do With 9/11

President Bush was in the midst of explaining how the attacks of 9/11 inspired his “freedom agenda” and the attacks on Iraq until a reporter, Ken Herman of Cox News, interrupted to ask what Iraq had to do with 9/11. “Nothing,” Bush defiantly answered. Watch it.

I have a ticket for speeding, 14 miles over the speed limit. Should I elect to DDC? What it will help me with? Will it lower my insurance? If somebody already went to that kind of course can you tell me what the questions on the test look like? Are they hard?

1st call...I'm calling to inform you that your daughter/sister/wife
wants a abortion...

2nd call...I'm calling to inform you that your daughter/sister/wife
died from a back alley abortion.

Why do Republicans rather get the 2nd call?

Democrats have moved too far left. Republicans are spending like its no tomorrow, not to mention their weak foreign policies. I think I might be ready to seriously vote 3rd party (i.e. Libertarian) for the first time.....IF they can come up with a decent candidate. But is it worth the risk if the greater of 2 evils (i.e. Hillary) gets elected?

Tired of our kids, who are so dumb. If only I had a camera for the times where I'd see black guys grunt and barely form words, and white kids worried about their looks that can't point to Africa on a map.

People that support the terrorists so we don't unite to fight them off, it's like we WANT To be attacked now

so i'm tired of our country basically.

I think our government's too corrupt, our people too stupid and fat to survive, and this country is fried.

maybe if I get enough money i'll go move to Iceland and cross my fingers for the apocalypse.

everything from dumbing down the public schools to our government's fiscal policy that's negative in the billions / trillions.

all of it's a failure.

by the way, before I get called a racist, that's just a few examples, I think -all- american kids are growing up mentally impaired.

and I never report anyone don't worry, I like controversy

And I'm anti-american? nah..just tired of where our country is going

I've seen a lot of Conservatives (certainly not all) saying that if you don't like Bush, then you're against freedom and should go to France or Canada. First of all I think if someone is against freedom they definitely shouldn't go to a free country, DUH.

But is telling people that their views aren't accepted really freedom?

What're your views on this point? Are you a conservative who believes people who don't support the president are bad? Are you a liberal who thinks that people who do support him are bad? Should they be forced out of the country?

If so, how is that freedom?

Please keep name-calling and insulting to a minimum. Intelligent answers only!

Is anyone really surprised that Israel violated the cease-fire?

Here, after all, is a nation that has defied the United Nations on 321 different occasions?

Refused to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and proudly proclaims its own lawlessness. Only a fool, or a masochist, would count on Tel Aviv to keep its agreements.

Lebanon is just a pawn in the game: Israel's real objective is toppling Bashar al-Assad and militarily confronting the Iranian mullahs – using U.S. troops, of course. The resulting incredibly destructive regional war will see not a few of their old enemies tossed in history's dustbin.

In spite of everything at stake in the midst of what is happening in the Middle east in Iraq, oil, thousands of troops etc. Will the president of the United States forge ahead with this mad plan to "transform" the Middle East. It's an outrage, an act of treachery, and, yes, treason on a scale never before seen.

Those who are in support of this, can go f**k themselves!

Would the children now a days be so uneducated, obese, undisciplined, and materialistic. We have allowed the school system, daycares, television, video games, any 1 or thing but the parents raise the kids. What does that say about our future.

Father should have rights too. He sees him (saw) him and had him at his home a LOT. I asked this question earlier and am hoping someone might KNOW the answer. All are saying "contact an attorney." We know this part but we're trying to find out NOW what rights he has and if she has the legal right to take the child out of state without telling him. She was homeless and no job with 4 kids (only one is his). I've had people answer legal questions too before by citing statutes, etc. If you can (if there are different people on here now than before), could you please help? Not that I don't appreciate answers from before because I do.

I know at least 10 guys who served in the British army . All with out fail , say the worst aspect was the divide between Men and Officers. These are tough and intelligent guys who tell it like it is , often to young lads wishing to join up . Do you not think that Officers are going to have to get with the times ? I'm afraid word of mouth affects recruitment far more than radio or television commercials do . What do you think?

Instead of closing the borders, spending more money to deport, feed, ect. all illegals, why dont we spend all those billions to put a welfare system, medicaid, ect. ect. in their country so they dont want to leave or dont want to come here. In my mind it would be so much easier and really we wouldnt be spending any less money but a lot less time trying to deport ect. Then we would also know the ones that stayed did so because they truly love the U.S. and want to be here. Just a thougth.

I sent Medical Records and an Autopsy Report to an Attorney for a possible Wrongful Death or Malpractice Suit. I sent them almost 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago I called to make sure he got the Reports he told me he was sending them for Review. What will this Review consist of? and How long should I wait to call him back?
