this is from Yahoo news " Bush urged lawmakers to quickly approve legislation authorizing military tribunals and harsh interrogations of terror suspects in order to shield U.S. personnel from being prosecuted for war crimes under the Geneva Conventions, which set international standards for the treatment of prisoners of war. " BASICALLY he wants this passed quickly because as it states he's trying to protect the CIA personnel getting into trouble. as yahoo news states "prosecuted for war crimes". he's too busy protecting the guilty he isnt thinking about the innocent. he's got these terrorists imprisoned and can't seem to do any thing with them. do i want these terrorists free? NO but i certainly will not understand why this fool is want us to help legalize the cover up of the abuse going on with these terrorists. now he's fighting with the GOP !! lol they're actually against this! read this ! http://news.yahoo.com/fc/US/Bush_Administration. and anser me this can you believe this!?

Bin Laden was an enemy of Iraq before the invasion, now I am sure he has lots of support there.


Remember his father did head the CIA before becoming President, he either appointed incompetent people or this is just lying. I must say it could be either one he did fire Collin Powel and place Rice in Secretary of State. Powel did the ethical thing and opposed Bush on his actions Rice has said nothing but yes sir since she has been in office.

The current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $165,200 per year. However, in 1960 Congress was in session 350 days out of the year. This year, they are going for a new record, only 88 days in session, meaning they are spending 268 days in recess. This means they get paid almost $2,000 per day.

Personally I think they need to work more and get paid less, or at least stay the same amount and work a hell of a lot more than they do now. If nothing else, they need to give mandatory paid time off for the rest of us working stiffs.

Is anyone else pissed off about this, and why isn't anyone doing anything about it?

Recent polls show America doesn't buy the "It's Clintons fault routine" http://i.a.cnn.net/cnn/2006/images/09/11/rel21i.pdf. Most still believe it was Bush's fault, but why? Is it because his Daddy and Reagan trained, armed, financed Bin Laden and his boys in the 80's? Is it because Reagan called Bin Laden a hero? Is it because Bush and Reagan armed the Taliban? Is it because they gave arms to Iran while being blackmailed by Iran for hostages?

Jimmy Carter didn't do much did he. He decided to send special forces to Iran to get the hostages, instead of negotiating with them.

Could it also be that Bush ignored the the Presidential Daily brief which said on the front BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK U.S? Maybe because CIA director George Tenant Begged Bush to look into a group of arabs who are training to fly a plane, but didn't want to know how to take off or land?

Does anybody have any idea why most people blame Bush?

I have properly filed out many rebated and received my money. Lately a few from CompUSA seems to either mysteriously loose my rebate or refuse to send me my money. It's not the money that makes me angry, it’s the fact that they can just refuse to send your money. Can you please point me in the right direction? Trust me I am right about I properly filed out and mailed in my rebates.

I've noticed that people who correct others for not useing the "exact" wording when they speak, instead of on the subject at hand, have had a lot of "TIME" to read that dictionary. Of course they will correct others to get off of the subject. Hmmmm

it seems so illogical
how can it be?.... they put braile on baby changing stations (could be messy to say the least), and drive-through ATMs. we park in driveways and drive in parkways. there are so many people in this world, yet the majority feels alone and abandoned. we have a constitution and a declaration of independence establishing our rights, yet we are not free from our own governments, set to protect us. a government of the people for the people and by the people, but hundreds of laws are passed every day without our knowledge by a select few. a person can blame God for the misery in thier life, yet say they do not believe in a god. ignorance of the law is considered no excuse, yet they do not teach us the laws. in fact, to learn the laws, one must be accepted into law school. we have an internet, available to virtually all of us, and still we have politicians make our choice of president. in the last how many years have we had a president elected from a write-in ballot? Ross Perot, (an oil tycoon), can run for president, on the promise to not even take pay, let alone allow lobbyists to bother him without success. yet two George Bushes, ( not commonly known, father and son oil tycoons,) can be ellected president. the internet is considered a tool, but is more commonly used for entertainment, harrasment, invasion of privacy, and destruction. we have freedom of the press, but the truth is only printed in underground newspapers and magazines and back pages in fine print. we have the right to free speech, yet can be thrown in jail for what we say. we can even be thrown in jail for victimless crimes. there are almost as many laws in this country as there are people. we are taught proper reading and writting in elementary, then taught shorthand in highschool. in schools they tell us that Columbus "discovered America", what of the nomads, vikings, eskimos, and Amerigo Vespucci ( not sure of the spelling)? we are supposed to have separation of church and state, can't pray in school, yet can get credits for attending a mormon church for one hour a day in high school. our government spends hundreds of billions of dollars on wars, and rebuilding the countries they destroy, while we have millions of people living below poverty level. we are offered Social Security that is not considered secure. we pay income tax, then sales tax, inheritance tax, road tax, sin tax, (that is correct, SIN tax), fuel tax, state tax, county tax, and even city taxes ( talk about taxation without representation!!!). the rich can keep getting richer, while the poor keep getting suppressed. if the 2000 richest people in the world, along with our governments, surrendered 60% of thier monies to the public, the middle and lower class people could join the upper class on vacations and owning thier own homes and cars, as well as eliminate all debts from the lower through upper classes , (life liberty and the pursuit of happiness). we go to war over oil, when all of our cars could run on our own waste. our governments start wars over pipelines, then claim we are at war with terrorists, (I have lots of info on this subject). how the hell can this be? it just seems so illogical to me!!! are we blind, or just docile, like cattle? well, you tell me. better yet tell a freind!!! oh yeah, let us not forget, we speak english in america, Hmmm!!!

Yes, the current White House administration wants to amend the Geneva Conference for the situation of the detainees (Guantanamo). This move, as stated by MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and even Fox, is thought to be a pre-emptive move because if the Geneva Conference is NOT amended, Bush can be held DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for any mistreatment of the detainees (torture). "MSNBC is reporting that President Bush is accused of 32 alleged felonies relating to torture, extreme water torture, and various NSA violations, which means he would be able to be tried for war crimes. The Amendment of the Geneva Treaty (a change in the law to suit the president and all included) would be RETROACTIVE to cover the President's and his administration's butts. Where do you stand on this? Do you care? Do you even know? Either way, I will love hearing what you guys have to say (LOL!). Pro or Con. God Bless.

When it comes right down to it...
Bush wants to torture...
How come he can't be HONEST
with the American people and tell
the truth...he wants the ok to torture...

So according to Republican logic...
We'll torture them but if they
capture/kidnap Americans...
They can't torture us!

Republicans...when will you learn?
You can't have it both ways!

I just was driving my car with jokes written in erasable paint about condoms all over it! A cop turned around at a stop light I stopped at and I think he turned around. About 3 minutes later as I was turning onto another road I saw blues coming but he was behind like 4 other cars. Im wondering if they were after me because when I got into town there were cops ALL over the place and I live in a small town! :)
