It is just that I don't want to be worried about survival and have to concentrate on something else. Perhaps when it gets really really bad we cn also stop submitting tax returns.

Some of the Iraqi people asked for our help and if we pull out we will be turning our backs on them. Just like Vet.

Bush will probably veto any timeline bill put in front of him. So, in the name of 'politics', what will Congress wind up doing?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, stated, "The jihadists (are) in Iraq. But that doesn't mean we stay there. They'll stay there as long as we're there."

Pelosi would become House speaker if the Democrats win the majority of seats in next week's elections.

WND read Pelosi's remarks to the terror leaders, who unanimously rejected her contention an American withdrawal would end the insurgency.

Islamic Jihad's Saadi, laughing, stated, "There is no chance that the resistance will stop."

He said an American withdrawal from Iraq would "prove the resistance is the most important tool and that this tool works. The victory of the Iraqi revolution will mark an important step in the history of the region and in the attitude regarding the United States."

Jihad Jaara said an American withdrawal would "mark the beginning of the collapse of this tyrant empire (America)."

"Therefore, a victory in Iraq would be a greater defeat for America than in Vietnam."

Jaara said vacating Iraq would also "reinforce Palestinian resistance organizations, especially from the moral point of view. But we also learn from these (insurgency) movements militarily. We look and learn from them."

Hamas' Abu Abdullah argued a withdrawal from Iraq would "convince those among the Palestinians who still have doubts in the efficiency of the resistance."

"The victory of the resistance in Iraq would prove once more that when the will and the faith are applied victory is not only a slogan. We saw that in Lebanon (during Israel's confrontation against Hezbollah there in July and August); we saw it in Gaza (after Israel withdrew from the territory last summer) and we will see it everywhere there is occupation," Abdullah said.

While the terror leaders each independently urged American citizens to vote for Democratic candidates, not all believed the Democrats would actually carry out a withdrawal from Iraq.

Saadi stated, "Unfortunately I think those who are speaking about a withdrawal will not do so when they are in power and these promises will remain electoral slogans. It is not enough to withdraw from Iraq. They must withdraw from Afghanistan and from every Arab and Muslim land they occupy or have bases."

He called both Democrats and Republicans "agents of the Zionist lobby in the U.S."

Abu Abdullah commented once Democrats are in power "the question is whether such a courageous leadership can [withdraw]. I am afraid that even after the American people will elect those who promise to leave Iraq, the U.S. will not do so. I tell the American people vote for withdrawal. Abandon Israel if you want to save America. Now will this Happen? I do not believe it."

Still Jihad Jaara said the alternative is better than Bush's party.

Two more global warming scares have just been quietly blown away: the claim that global warming is causing more and bigger hurricanes; and the claim that warming threatens to shut down the great Atlantic Ocean conveyor currents.

James Kossin of the University of Wisconsin led the reanalysis of the tropical storms. He says there’s no sign that tropical storms are intensifying globally as the ocean waters warm. This is further endorsed by the old British Navy records from the Caribbean, which indicate more than twice as many major land falling hurricanes per decade during the Little Ice Age years from 1700 to 1850 as during the last 50 years of global warming.

Slowly the truth comes out. Al Gore Lied, Critical Thinking Died.

6 months ago I was in fault for an auto accident. I am now being sued for $200,000 basically for pain and suffering, which is crazy to that extent because the injuries were not that severe. Both of us walked away from the accident. My insurance covers up to $100,000 so the leaves the rest to me. What typical happens in cases like this?

US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President, right? He can fire them for any reason he wants, including political reasons, right? So let's say that all 8 were fired for deeply political reasons, and these reasons come to light after a lengthy investigation. So what? No laws are being broken, right? We already know the Republicans are a**holes. We don't need an expensive investigation to prove it.

I want to know why people support him. Do you think he has enough experience to be president of the USA? What has he done that is important and what does he stand for. Any thing else you want to say? I am actually very much against him but, i don't want to get into details.

COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington and they tracked her calves to their stalls? But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

Nixon and his administration was not as good at hubris, profiteering, and savage capitalism. Also, he could not get about the law; as is the case with GWB.
