They don't know how to COUNT either?

U.S. officials, seeking a way to measure the results of a program aimed at decreasing violence in Baghdad, aren't counting scores of dead killed in car bombings and mortar attacks as victims of the country's sectarian violence.

In a distinction previously undisclosed, U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Johnson said Friday that the United States is including in its tabulations of sectarian violence only deaths of individuals killed in drive-by shootings or by torture and execution.

According to Republicans...
Iraqi deaths are not to be counted if
they are killed in a certain way...

Guess they would count the AMERICANS
in the same way right?
Republican is just another word for....
HYPOCRITE!

I see no problem with people comming to this country if they :
1: learn the launguage
2: give up loyalty their old country and pledge allegiance to USA
3 respect the local citizens and culture
4: serve atleast 2 years in military service

whats 2 years of you life compared to a lifetime of freedom here in the USA? I myself served 4 years. I you want to keep your own identity and culture stay in your own country.

I am against all illegals. But I am sick and tired of the complaining about them. Why don't we do something about it? We can protest just like them. Complaining about it doesn't seem to solve anything. Let's all get together and protest against them

Come on when is money going to it's proper place in the world? What can be done to start us down the proper path placing need above greed?.. Any input?

See story: http://electioncentral.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2006/sep/09/in_new_letter_clintons_lawyer_demands_abc_yank_film

It is clear that Bill Clinton, nor his lawyers have even seen the ABC 9/11 movie. How can they be so adamant about the accuracy of the movie? Let's face it, when was ABC ever antagonistic toward Bill Clinton, so it's not likely they are out to get him either. We know that there were things about Bill Clinton that didn't even get touched on by the Commission, that doesn't mean they didn't happen. So, why doesn't the public deserve to hear the full story?

They are traitors and should be treated as such.

Al Qaeda’s leaders threatened in 2003 to attack America.
Experts warn that terrorists could destroy a city with WMDs.
Maybe there are just a few terrorists with the zeal and the competence to attack the US.
The total number of Americans who have died as a result of terrorist acts is fewer than the number who drowned in bathtubs during this period.
Has the terror industry become the newest hot investment sector?

Many individuals on the far left firmly believe the US has entered Iraq for its oil. There is absolutely no evidence to support the fact that we have "stolen" any oil from the soverign and democratically elected government of Iraq. Please consider that Iraqi oil flowed on the world markets before Operation Iraqi Freedom and therefore, the net oil production would not have been effected by a regime change. I CHALLENGE ALL OF YOU TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE FOR YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORY!

We invaded Iraq under two assumptions. 1) That they had WMD and 2) under the war on terror, anyone who harbored Al Queda is against us. Now we find they had no WMDs and with the recent article release had nothing to do with Al Queda, Saddam actually considered them a threat to his government. Bottomline we have no justification for invading Iraq now at least to the nations of the war. What's going to happen, are we consider war criminals or a rogue nation?

Yeah its true global warming may not be accellerating very fast and you may notice only small things but what about all the toxins in the water and all the rest of the pollution getting in our food chain. Don't you care about this, Don't you want clean fish to eat and what about the air and the huge jump in asthma and other respitory problems, is this not a concern, and how about the link scientist have made with pesticides and mental disorders. Im beginning to believe you people want what you can make now and your not to worried about the kids or the next generation.
