She has been given the go-ahead to hold hearings as chairman of her sub-committee. I hope she gets to the bottom of this and reverses this travesty of justice.
As a conservative, I must give her kudos for her efforts thus far in this matter.

Can anyone tell me what experience did this moron who's in the White House now have while he was running for President in 2000? He did not even know there are black people in Brazil, nor could he name one head of state of other countries back then.

I found on usps.com that they are going to be releasing stamps sometime in 2007 that are to be used to mail wedding invitations and reply cards, but I cannot find a release date for the stamps. The stamps are called "Wedding Hearts". Does anybody know when the stamps are going to be released. I am hoping soon, as I am getting married in June and so I will be mailing my invitations in April. Thanks for your help!

Is this going to be another bully on those who dont have WMD?

The Russians, even US allies like the British, Japan, China and all the rest of the world look at Bush & Co. as a real confused institution.

The world prefer to have a talk to that one person than to kill millions (again).

Why not stop the aggression, & get to know others. Because if US hit Iran, Syria or N.Korea, it will trigger WW3.

If, (I say IF,) there be a really FAIR WW3 with NO WMD, please DO NOT ever dream of US victory. China, Japan, Russia, will hit all the satelites. You cant see & you cant communicate well. Welcome back to the WW2. Those countries have learnt well. And dont forget, US won in WW2 merely due to the usage of WMD (the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima, for ground battles US have poor records, not to mention that lots of silly mistakes done by the army, the so-called "friendly fires".)

And any mistake made by Bush, the US soils have greater chances of becoming a complete disaster.

My uncle is mentally handicapped. He is completely harmless and like a 4 year old child. He has been rejected twice for no apparent reason although my dad (is legal guardian)was given the VISA right away. It is very sad that we can't let him even visit once since we are citizens of this country and we have always lived with him and think of him as our little brother.
If you know of way for us to get him a VISA pls do let menow.

so they have the freedom to make billions from this war along with Bechtel, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and other oil industries. How does it make you feel that the Saudi royal family is profitting off this war by the billions because they have huge investments in KBR and Halliburton and the Carlysle group along with the Bush family? How does it make you feel that you know the profits of these companies that are paying the Saudis is going to fund Al Queda and the Sunni extremists in Iraq who are killing our soldiers.

Me and some friends want to toilet papar another friends house while he is out of state for a few days. Anyways, I was wondering if the neighbors could call the cops on is and we get in any sort of trouble. I know that if you toilet paper someones house, and the person who owns the house can call the cops on you, but if its a neighbor that calls, can they do anything about it... I'm guessing it probably doesn't matter who calls though. So, what kinda trouble could we get into. We are all just under 18

Guilianni cleaned up NYC as mayor. Will he do the same for all American cities if he becomes Pres? Would you vote for him if he ran? Why why not?

well, I just found out that if you want to be a citizen of Japan, you have to give up your other citizenship by age 22. My question is, is there a difference between Residency and Citizenship? If so What. Do you have to have a visa to be a legal resident of a country and get a bank card and land (etc.) Or do you have to be a Citizen? Do you need a Green card?

(Please provide serious answers!)

Oh my God...for the last time: Terrorists were able to enter Iraq only after we invaded. And 9/11 had NOTHING to do with Iraq!
So stop implying it does. We are all sick of it.

Now that 'President' Poodle Blair is again trying to re-insert that provobial tongue up the nether regions of President (now there's a perfect example of dellusions of grandeur) Labotomy Bush with his attempt to get the latter to base 'Son of Star Wars' on our soil, shouldn't we not only be questioning what these two nincompoops are trying to achieve but also the technology with which they're trying to do achieve it ?

From what I understand ballistic missiles are notoriously unreliable when they test them, they are prone to malfunction - so if you are going to set up a defence net of batteries to send one missile to knock out another isn't this going to be a very expensive folly?

Surely the military of the various NATO nations should be spending the inordinate sums of money involved into research into a defence net using what Sci Fi has long since called 'Shields' - is this type of technology really as far off as ''Beam me up Scotty"? - I know Heisenberg uncertainty principle !

How many times have you been asked, "Write to your congressman about such and such"? But do you? How do you know if it just gets answered by interns with a form letter?

okay, we will leave viet nam out of this if you are bitter, since it was the only undeclared war that we fought. and, we lost. if you wish to comment, though, go ahead:

i simply want to know, after having been indoctrinated to be killers, what did you feel like when you killed? was it good to be a soldier or not? why was it good for you, and/or why was it not good for you?

if you have children now, how would you feel if they went into the service in a time of war?

i mean no insult at all here: i am simply a female who never was in the service and i just want to know. kindly tell me.
