The Bush Regime has taken the US outside the boundaries of international law and is acting unilaterally, falsely declaring American military aggression to be "defensive" and in the interests of peace. Much of the world realizes the hypocrisy and danger in the Bush Regime’s justification of the unbridled use of US military power, but no countries except other nuclear powers can challenge American aggression, and then only at the risk of all life on earth.

The solution is nonmilitary challenge.

The Bush Regime’s ability to wage war is dependent upon foreign financing. The Regime’s wars are financed with red ink, which means the hundreds of billions of dollars must be borrowed. As American consumers are spending more than they earn on consumption, the money cannot be borrowed from Americans.

i know i'm gonna come across seeming ignorant to most conservatives out there with this question but i'll ask anyway. what exactly do conservative politicians mean when they say they want to win in iraq, or even this war on terror? it's not like there's a defined opposition with a leader who one day is gonna surrender waiving a white flag saying, "i give up, you win!!!" so what do the politicians mean by winning?

I keep hearing about this War on Terror and how we have to change our behaviour, and make sacrifices, and how the govt. --- especially the executive branch needs extrodinary powers to fight this War on Terror.

When exactly will this war be won? What are the goals of this victory? Then, when do you think this country will be able to go back to peace time?

Withdrawal of 1/2 of the troops from Iraq, how many more young men will he have abandoned in a foreign country? They will mop the floor with our sons, he started this war and needs to see it through. Not to mention that he's bringing 70,000 iraqians to American soil. Bush selling off his own country?

Being gay or being suspected of being gay will get you kicked out of the military even if you can do something important, like speak fluent Arabic while we are fighting a war in the Middle East.

Bashing gays helped put an idiot like Bush in power and kept him there.

Churches in this country (and the world over) say that homosexuality is a sin, which as far as I know puts them just like murderers and rapists in Gods eyes and many of these churches are dedicated to keeping the homosexual community legally repressed, and thanks to voters in this country, they are doing a good job at it.

And I am willing to bet that an openly gay person could cure cancer, AIDS, stop every war everywhere, and singlehandedly reverse global warming, and this country still wouldn't elect them to the presidency.

So given all this, what difference does it make when one famous person says what the vast majority of our country shows by its actions and laws. Why does he somehow need to apologize?

I'm gonna try and put this in the simplest terms . And to remove the 'emotion' from the argument, I chose to use the example of Charles Ingalls and company .
If it was determined that Global Warming was influenced by mankind during the 1800's.. . . . . . Do ya think Charles and friends would've STOPPED burning wood to heat their homes ? Or would they more likely have continued burning wood to SAVE THEIR LIVES ?
Today, fossil fuels are used to heat the homes of most of the East Coast and other areas of the country to a lesser extent . Should they STOP ?
Or should we acknowledge that, even if true, it will take DECADES to even make a dent in the process ? Thereby stopping the hatred and blame of one President ?

Democrat John Murtha is trying to construct a house bill that limits the scope of the troop surge and handicaps their actions, rendering them less useful to the American generals in Iraq. Does Murtha think he's a better general than the actual generals?

Another arrogant Democrat who "knows better" than a General.

Is Murtha TRYING to handicap the troops in the surge in order to limit their ability to FIX the problems in IRAQ and ENSURE that Bush's troop surge will fail- allowing the Democrats to say "told you so" ???

There was the shock stage of we cant believe you just entered iraq a sovereign country?
Then there is the injured stage of running to relatives who need help and figuring out where food is going to come?
Then there is the grouping stage of freedom fighters?
Then there is the military assistance from other countries?

Lets see how long you whiny @ss liberals take to get me kicked off again. But since you are so anit gun- tree hugging, scared to death of global warming. Let me ask you a question.. You and your wife are leaving a restaurant, theater etc. A masked assailant comes up from behind, grabs your wife and is intent on hauling her off, most likely to rape and then murder her. I come along with my legally carried .40 caliber semi-automatic, would it offend your anti-gun liberal sensibilities if I blew the guys brains out, therby saving your wifes life, or should I abide by your anti gun mentality and ignore the situation and walk away?

...stage for a 'police state" run by the United State?

GENEVA - Unrelenting violence and insecurity in Iraq could cause as many as 1 million Iraqis to flee their homes this year, the world's migration body said Friday.
"The numbers of people that are being displaced are increasing every day," said Jemini Pandayar of the International Organization for Migration. "The security situation is not improving. It's not changing."
Washington announced it will allow about 7,000 Iraqis into the United States this year — up from 202 in 2006 — and will pay more to help Iraq's neighbors cope with the surge of refugees.

And so, now we have created still another problem for millions of innocent people. By now we all know that Bush does not plan to leave Iraq anytime soon. It appears that by the time he leaves office, we'll be so deeply entranched in 'occupation" there will be no immediate way out..

Would you allow potentially thousands more refugees into the U.S.?

The German army was within 20 miles of downtown Moscow, when the cold Winter bogged them down. As the German forces were closing in on Moscow, the commies gathered up their yarmulkes and were hauling arsses for Eastern Russia. If the German army would have gone into Russia just one week earlier, there would be no communism today. the Germans would have arrested them all and they would have written the history books. The Germans were outnumered 4 to 1 and they fought valiantly against the evil communists. The Germans had learned that Russia was about to attack Germany, so they moved first. If Germany had not fought the communist and stopped them at Germany's doorstep, all of Europe would have been taken by the communist all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
