Apparently YES !!

Can someone please clarify what sort of "PLAN" would allow its countrys' BEST asset go to the aid of USA in AFGHANISTAN, then were left GROSSLY under-manned and under-resourced when 77% of US troops were withdrawn from AFGHANISTAN shortly after?

I quote from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6244955.stm
"Foreign office minister Geoff Hoon has responded to claims British forces in Afghanistan are "overstretched" and said the mission is going as planned.
Tory MP Sir John Stanley had told MPs in a Westminster debate that UK troops were "more than pulling their weight".
But, he said, they were undermanned and lacked vital equipment. " UNQUOTE

QUOTE Sean Langan (from the Dispatches programme link http://www.channel4.com/news/dispatches/article.jsp?id=986#start) " Overstretched and outnumbered, are the British troops fighting an unwinnable war in Afghanistan?

YES when Tony Bliar (sic) doesn't follow up on http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/5414974.stm

Sex-offender stings get thousands of illegals
Experts still concerned U.S. children could become prey to repeat offenders (Posted: January 9, 2007)
By Chelsea Schilling

More than 9,000 sex offenders have been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials through a series of stings called Operation Predator in three years of operation, a 2006 Department of Homeland Security Report says. But some experts are wondering if the efforts are enough to protect innocent American children .

In another court decision, among a string of decisions by the Federal courts, takes the legs out from under and stings LULAC LA Raza and the other bands of terrorists legal groups.

http://www.nysun.com/article/46324

By this court ruling, they have removed standing or jurisdiction to file these types of suits on behalf of invaders. In other words La Raza cant run around wild and sue every city that trys to defend itself. Huge victory for the (this) country.

It is very common practice of the US to launch missile air strikes against populated areas if they think someone wanted is hiding there somewhere, and usually they kill the guy but they also kill many innocent civilians. After that, the US officials say they are sorry(not), and case closed. And they don’t care because it was “3rd World” Nation civilians.
How about if a “3rd World” Nation wanted someone and thought the guy was hiding in a US town, then send a “3rd World” cruise missile to blow up that US town, and then just say sorry, and case closed?
Would the US send a cruise missile too if that wanted guy was hiding in Paris, or somewhere in China?
How about if the US suspected a wanted guy was hiding in a US town would they send a missile to blow the town up, then no criminal repercussions, no monetary indemnifications, and just say sorry, and case closed?

On January 3, 2006, 18-year-old Nazanin Mahabad Fatehi was sentenced to death for murder by court in Iran after she stabbed one of three men who attempted to rape her and her 16-year-old niece in a park in Karaj (a suburb of Tehran) in March 2005. She was seventeen at the time. Iran is signatory to international treaties which forbid them to execute any one under the age of 18; however they continue to do so.

The injustice of this case propelled Nazanin Afshin-Jam to take immediate action and start a petition to help save the life of her namesake. The petition now has over 200 000 signatures from around the world.

sign the petition at www.helpnazanin.com

please dont report me, this is a good cause. She goes back on trial tomorrow! thanks!!!!!

I have a lot of pending legal fees because of trying to terminate visitation rights of my ex, who abuses my kids. I am told the fees will be about 8k. Can my attorney drop me if I don't have this money upfront? I intend to pay him, but cannot have it all at once. Can he drop me? I am hysterical! BTW I live in NJ, if that makes a difference.

DO you think that had American voters voted for completely different presidents- since 1945 and NOT BEEN SO INVOLVED with other countries since then than they would not have to worry about this so-called "War on terror" with radical groups? I partially blame for Americans loving war presidents alittle too much. Your governments were way toooooo involved and still way too involved even in todays world.

2. Do you think captial punishment is right or wrong?

3. If you were a criminal, lets say a murderer, would you rather be tourtured or killed?

Then, knowing the escalation of terrorism on a global scale, some people deny that our president SUCKS as a war president. Of course he sucks as a war president. That's not actually an opinion. Just look at what has happened. It's a fact!
All this, even after our president gave his infamous "Mission Accomplished" speech.
