George W. Bush is sitting at a 38% job approval rating. He may be the most controversial U.S. president since Richard Nixon, and certainly the country is more divided than at any time since the Vietnam War. With the ongoing war in Iraq, new revelations from books such as Bob Woodward's "State of Denial", and the prospect for a change of control of Congress to the Democrats, many believe he is an historically poor president. Some even call for his impeachment. What do you think? Is the Bush presidency a failure? Will it go down in history as historically bad? Or will history look more kindly on the Bush administration just as Harry Truman today is more highly regarded than when he was in office? Why would Bush's image be rehabilitated in the future? Finally, who do you want to see as the President to succeed him?

so I was assigned to find a positive spin on Osama Bin Laden for an art piece by my instructor.

The piece will be done in probably acrylic or maybe ink.

My Question is: What are the positive effects of Bin Laden from follower of his point of view?

We're not talking from an American point of view here, I need things that if you were on his side, you'd feel about him. If I could ask one of his followers I would, but I do not have a resource for that.

Or About Dang time??
HOUSTON — The Houston Police Department has announced that it will work more closely with federal officials to identify illegal immigrants involved in crimes. Under the policy announced Sunday, police will ask all arrested suspects whether they are citizens. Anyone without identification will be fingerprinted and their criminal histories checked in a national database.

Officers are still barred from asking people who aren’t under arrest about their immigration status, a restriction that has prompted critics to denounce Houston as a “sanctuary city” for illegal immigrants.

But city officials said the new policy will help identify and remove violent criminals from Houston’s streets.

“(We are) specifically targeting those people that have been convicted of felonies in this country and have been previously deported and re-entered the country,” Police Chief Harold Hurtt said.

Under the new policy, police will hold suspects for immigration officials if a background search shows that the suspect is accused of returning to the country after being deported for a crime or defying an order to leave the country.

Those who cannot provide proper identification but have no criminal record will not be turned over to immigration officials.

Prior to the new policy, police generally did not hold anyone for immigration authorities, even if there were outstanding federal warrants.

“If the city restricts, in any way, a police officer’s ability to identify foreign nationals, it risks the possibility of losing all federal law enforcement grants,” said U.S. Rep. John Culberson, R-Houston.

Culberson introduced an amendment to the House appropriations bill that blocks federal grants to any city that restricts officials from exchanging information with federal immigration authorities. The bill has not yet been signed into law.

Local officials have said the city has no such restrictions.

Councilman Michael Berry said the change will “remove a number of violent criminals from streets.”

“You can’t know which lives will be saved because of it, but some lives will be saved,” he said. “And there will come a day when we ask for more, but, for now, we need to celebrate some progress.”

I am in 9th grade and interested in becoming a military teacher. What steps would you suggest taking to do this? (i.e. classes to take, sites to visit, colleges to consider, etc.) Thanks!

Repubs are really good at playing the victim. It's always the liberal media that's "out to get them" or it was the democrats who sat on Foley's IMs (chuckle). Is there no situation that can be turned into Republicans being the victim?

When will they grow a set?

Name one single war that we fought that there wasn't any opposition to it. Yet we've won most every war. In World War 2, there were plenty of people opposed to it, but that opposition didn't bother our brave soldiers in the slightest. In WW2, we had a clear plan for victory, and our brave soldiers secured the victory; they didn't care that some people opposed the war.

Why shoud we believe that suddenly our soldiers can't fight effectively unless every solitary soul back in the USA supports the war. Our soldiers are NOT a bunch of softies. They are great American heroes and should not be hung out in Iraq for endless years of combat in a pointless, politically driven, and counterproductive war.

Is there a such thing as joining the military with a combat exclusive contract? I was just wondering because I am considering the military. I don't mind going to war, but I would prefer to not go if there was a way to get out of it.

If we ask all those people that hate illegal immigrants to get their trailers out of the park and line them all up along the border that way we don't have to spend all that money on a wall that will not work.

The conservatives say that our soldiers' psyches are so fragile that if they hear that not everyone is loving Georgie's war back home, that their morale will plummet and they won't be able to fight well anymore. They even say that the reason we haven't won Bush's war yet is because the soldiers' morale is down because they have heard there is some opposition to the war. I don't accept that.

Do you really think our soldiers are so mentally soft??? I don't. Our brave men and women are a lot tougher than that. What do you think??
