Anyone with half a brain knows that the wars in Afganistan and Iraq have been lost.

The question I want to know is:

When is Bush going finally admit defeat and bring our men and women home?

So many are concerened about the loss of civil rights because of the war on terror (me too) But why has there been no outcry because of other lost rights. ie Having to undergo urinalisis to hold a job, loss of the right to keep and bear arms, police roadblocks that stop motorists with no probable cause ?

Poll Paralysis
It has now been a month since the Washington Post and ABC news did a poll of public opinion at the year's end, but the neither the paper or the network has reported on the some of the poll's most striking findings. The poll reveals strong public optimism about Americans' personal lives and the country as a whole.

The survey showed 71 percent of respondents optimistic about America's ability to defend itself against terror attacks, 64 percent optimistic about the economy and 61 percent about how things are going in the U.S.

But none of that was mentioned in four stories referencing the poll in the Post — and two reports on ABC. Instead, those stories focused on overall pessimism about Iraq and the president's policies
Still want to tell me that there is no Bias at
ABC?

Reporters/politicians continually talk of Iraq being on the 'brink' of a full scale civil war. From the news reports it already looks like a civil war to me. What's the difference between 'full scale' and what's happening over there now?

People keep saying he's the best bet for the presidency, but no one mentions how liberal he is. Does anyone else dislike how much he differs from the party platform?

What I'd like to know is, what can anyone do with someone else's passport? Why would anyone want to steal one? Is there money in it for them or what? If so, how much do they get?

It is known that the courts and police favour mothers over fathers.

Even under the situation where the police are called for a domestic disturbance, if the mother tries to leave with the children and the father tries to stop it, the father will be charged... But if the father tries to leave with the children and the mother tries to stop it, the father will be found and then charged.

Damned if you do and Damned if you don't. The father always seems to get the short stick and has to fall an the perverbial sword.

Why is that?

How would you handle this??

Someone in my family went from blue to green, made it to his normal duty station, he has failed to conform and was recently caught in a lot of lies by his chain of command....Things he has made up, and I became aware of when I received a call from his C/O......

I am very ashamed and embarrassed by his actions...everything that encompasses his duty honor and integrity is ruined by his own actions....

In other words, he looks like he would rather be seen as a liar, than be said he was scared to go to Iraq...to be honest he is my son in law and since this has come to light, it has greatly affected his place in the family..He is looking at a discharge and I agree he dosen't deserve to wear the uniform..

I love my daughter and she too is a victim, I worry about her due to this, but she loves him..., he isn't trustworthy in my eyes at all !
what would you do?

Thanks for all the help!

Now that George is so kindly helping Iraq to rid itself of its insurgents by sending another 20,000 troops. (he's all heart!)

Do we really need our troops over there?

Two points; First, realize that everyone that has signed up for the US military wanted to defend this country, took an oath and they joined by choice, many have NEVER complained about the war.

Second: We all know there is really ONLY one reason we went in to this war, because someone somewhere had to pay for the destruction caused on 9-11. There was no way this country was going to just let that happen and do nothing. I stood by our revenge then and I stand by it now, that was all it was based upon, we were slapped and we slapped back to make a point, blow up our buildings and people and government, and we WILL destroy something and maybe next time it will be you!

WE ALREADY WON !!
Point well made and we have ALREADY WON! many countries are scared to death to go up against us and scared to harbor terrorist for fear we will come in and wreck their country too! Can you see we have won in these terms?

Hi, I split up with my husband 2 years ago. He has always been disatisfied with his life and always a dreamer who thinks the grass is greener else where. He is in car sales and is always jumping from one job to another.....He told me 2 days ago he was going to Dallas and thats where he went with an hours notice. I have since found out he has gone over to find a job and is planning to move there! Problem is we have a 3 year old and I am so worried he is going to up and leave him. I have refused to go with him as I have my own life and a good job here in the uk. How easy will it be for him to actually make the move or find a company to vouch for him??
I really don't want my son to grow up without a father. xx

Its not my imagination, but recently there's been a number of decision made by the court of Human Rights in the Hague falling in the favour of criminals...? Take this latest case - a CONVICTED MURDERER is proceeding through the courts for the right to IVF treatment to fertilize his wife. If you Murder, and are convicted of such should you not forfiet your Human Rights as you have denied your victim their basic Human Right to life? Is this simply Popular Politic posturing to favour the appearance of the courts or is it just plain idiocy?

I have heard this from a number of people but would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction of finding the legislation as back up so that if I am to take action I have more information to begin with.
The Royal Mail have advised that it is an offence for somebody to open my post without my permission but were unable to tell me what the legislation is.

I hardly ever see anyone from the Military complaining abut the war, it's always the pencil pushers and people that did not sign up for the armed forces. Dont forget each and every military person in the US armed forces SIGNED UP and took an oath that they would defend this country at all cost they chose to be there. I am proud of our troops and what they stand for, but I am embarrassed by the big mouthed pencil pushers that wouldn't wear a uniform no matter what to defend this country. Do you agree?

i went and retained a divorce lawyer 12/14/06. my non-refundable flat fee retainer was $5k. after the meeting, she was to follow up with an email list of the financial items that i need to forward to her. she was to review this prior to my next meeting.

her fee agreement says: ' this means that even if you reconcile and instruct ... not to file ... you do not get a refund of the retainer paid because it is non-refundable.'

how can i get may retainer back as it's almost been a month (today is 1/11/07) and she has not followed up. i can follow up with her, but she would charge me to read my email - an email that i shouldn't even have to send as I AM THE CLIENT! i would much prefer someone with professional courtesy and follow up.

if she can't follow up on my first step, what happens when assets are divided? will she be laxed on that too?

please send advice here! thanks.
