Politics & Government - 28 March 2007

I generally support Bush (I've lost half of you right there), but I'm wondering if this is what's actually happening:

Afghanistan and Pakistan (which has nukes, by the way) have leaders somewhat friendly to us, who are hanging by a thread. The populations probably include a large component who support bin Laden, or at least would be hostile to increased US presence. So the US treads lightly, with special forces, etc. and hopes to keep bin Laden bottled up at the very least. A massive assault would probably NOT do much in the area where he is suspected of being, other than inflame the population and weaken the regimes. We offered a $25 million bounty for ther guy, which has produced nothing. We don't know where he is. We're picking off deputies when and where we can. But there are some things we're NOT doing, for the reasons I stated.

That's my guess as to what's happening. What do you think?

How would YOU catch him? Be as specific as possible.

If they want to say things encouriging participation in the democratic process, then more power to them. Why do they try to tell us how to vote, for whom to vote and how to live our lives?

I live in a shared property in London and suspect some of my post/mail is being stolen. I understand this is a criminal offence. Does anyone know the specifics relating to this law?

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) told CNN that that President Bush’s escalation in Iraq is going so well, “General Petraeus goes out there almost every day in an unarmed humvee.” On Monday, he told radio host Bill Bennett that there “are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today.”

This morning, during an interview with McCain, CNN’s John Roberts rebutted McCain’s assertions, stating, “I checked with General Petraeus’s people overnight and they said he never goes out in anything less than an up-armored humvee.” He added that a new report by retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey “said no Iraqi government official, coalition soldier, diplomat reporter could walk the streets of Baghdad without heavily armed protection.”

Faced with overwhelming evidence that he was wrong, McCain denied he’d ever said it: “Well, I’m not saying they could go without protection. The President goes around America with protection. So, certainly I didn’t say that.”

Basically, my girlfriend and I are considerring getting married. The complication is that she is not from America and we would want to live in America together, at least for a few years. If we do not marry the next time we return to America, it is unlikely we will get another chance for a while. I know all about green card marriages, and how they grant citizenship, but what I don't know is the law. Is there something that would be preventing me from marrying her if we just walked into a chapel? Thanks for answerring!

I am a liberal, but, have voted for Republicans, and mostly for Democrats, in the past. When an administration commits errors of judgement on public policy, or worse, why do people still line up behind them like snoring sheep?

I am so sick of U.S. citizens making anti remarks and burning the flag or burning soldiers or the president in effegy. What
kind of message does that sent to the rest of the world .?
I STRONGLY believe that kind of crap should be banned from tv. Yea, I know all about "freedom of speech"
But we are "SPINNING" freedom of speech and turning it into
discraceful anti american remarks. The president is not always right. Try his job to see how easy it is. Remember
we are suppose to be "UNITED" but the people who are trying to "crush" us ,are winning. Not because they can defeat our military, but because WE are falling apart, letting those
"scabs" get on tv and denouncing every move the the office
of the president makes. Imagine yourself, trying to make difficult decisions for your family and your family constantly
criticizing your every move. What kind of results would that lead to. "Shame" on Main Stream TV and U.S. newpapers.
Shame on Them.............

I see a LOT of people complaining and criticizing our government here. How many of you actually voted in the last election? I did, so I have the right to complain.

While searching information on Yahoo! today about X-rays I came across a website with detailed instructions on building bombs and how to kill cops and how to make liquid explosives. Should I report this information to my local police? Or leave it?

What i mean is that society cannot fit all of our issues into one or the other, life is not black and white, most of the people i know believe in independent thinking, not This vs That.

How can this system even work this way?

I think most politicians are shady, so i want the common persons views...

Thanx
