Politics & Government - 16 January 2007

I just learned through the "military" Q&A that we have about 1.2 million military, of which no more than 330k are stationed overseas. (My concern was with whether we were being properly guarded here in the United States).
On 911 then we still had hundreds of thousands of military stationed here in the United States/ (Is that right)?
I'm just curious as to what these men and women were doing on 911? (serious question) -- I mean were they given any specific orders? It just seems (given post coverage information) that "scramble" jets weren't ordered that quickly and there was no info regarding the status of troops stateside.

A question for the Bushaters and their commissars?

Now, which is it? Is Bush some kind of evil genius who orchestrates and coordinates an attack on his own country in order to line his pockets and those of his Zionist allies?

Or his he a bumbling idiot who can barely speak and simply blundered into his position the first time because of daddy and the second time because his followers are dumber then he is...

Unless your in INGSOC, you cannot believe both. So let's have it Neo-Libs... Which is it???

How come anyone who understands the concept of FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS is said to be wearing a tinfoil hat?

False Flag Operations by governments have been documented through history since the start of human civilization. Yet whenever you bring up the fact that the US government has been caught hundreds of times, some people's only retort is "you're a tin-foil hat wearer". Why is that?

Why does Bush advocate for hangings and decapitation when he is "pro-life"?

You can't have it both ways NEOCONS/Cons.

No matter what he says you do know he wields the ultimate say in Iraqi affairs, right? At least for now...

Im black and a proud member of the Minute Men! My question is why do mexicans say we're racist?

It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with catching criminals.

What should I do to protect my elderly parents and self?

Yesterday I was painting a building. I see a helicopter, and it has police on the side , I know go in and lock the doors if I ever see one of these, but I had to get the building painted and I went in and got my hand gun and went back to painting and this guy came out of no where ( I live on a dirt road away from the main Highway with No TressPassing signs)I asked him what he was doing and I told him that this was private property and he should stop where he was at. He started running I then motioned for the helicopter to come over to me and the police around surrounded my property I know the guy heard me tell them where he went,and they got him. Ok I know I was right to help the police, with no doubt. But he runs with about 5 to 6 drug runners known to the neighborhood thats beside our land. I don't play when it comes to protecting my family. What is legal in order to protect your family in North Carolina?
