Politics & Government - 29 March 2007

i was able to find out according to common dreams.org's bianca

jagger that bush was funded by oil companies.. and that the reason

why he keeps on saying no to the kyoto protocol is that it will be

hurting these companies.. its "corporate pay back" because these

companies donated some 50 million dollars to put him in the while

house.


The message was: 'US corporations have the right to pollute the

entire planet. The people and the environment don't matter




I dont believe things without a proof.. can anyone provide me?

The King of Saudi Arabia yesterday said the US prescence in Iraq was an illegal occupation and President Bush countered with the statement that we were legitimately in there at the Invitation of the Iraqi people under a UN mandate.

I'm sure Bush is licking his chops and Republicans are drooling over the chance to use a few more bombs. They sure can play video games destroying, just the rebuilding part they are clueless on, right?

Hand held GPS =0 as its not reliable & gives error >30miles!
* I bought one, then I had to return it back as it was showing me out of London while I was in it!
* GPS positions are accurate only when the satellite passes.
* Sat.passes at different intervals from 1/2 t0 3 1/2 hrs.
* Whithin those intervals, what u get from the Sat navigator (GPS) is approximate positions based on calculations between the lasdt two original GPSs, & that is regardless of water or air currents drifting,slowing or increasing the ship's speed.
* Especially in area near the coasts like in the Golf, the water currents change direction & speed v. rapidly.
* So theoritically they may be in Iraqi waters, But practically they were in Irani waters.
** I found it very stupid idea to prove that they were in Iraqi waters supported by a hand held GPS.
THIS IS HOW MODERS SHIPS RUN AGROUND IN THE eNGLISH CHANNEL, BECAUSE THE USERS DON'T KNOW HOW THOSE INSTRUMENTS WORK,IN THEORY THEY WERE ON COURSE BUT THEY R NOT!

This is a question about universal Good and Evil. Not about technicality that Bush cannot be punished because he was not charged and therefore no verdict and not a criminal. For those loyal to Bush, it is not about him, it is about what he did. Please remember also that Iraq just like Bush has not been convicted of any crime but Bush attacked and you guys loyal to him said it is OK. Please elaborate on your double standard. Yes the US was attacked on 9/11 but why attacked Iraq for it? The next time the US will be attacked, who will be the next fall guy?

Many people (on and off YA) have said that Secretaries Rice and Powell are (or were) President Bush's slaves. This has never been said about Bush's white cabinet members. Are people suggesting that Rice and Powell are not capable of making their own decisions because blacks are not smart enough? Are these people Bigots? Or just ignorant?

Why are United States troops still using depleted uranium sabot tank rounds? The European Parliament, dozens of non-governmental organizations, and even a UN Subcommission call for a ban on this type of ammunition, because of the horrible health effects it has.

Depleted uranium is composed primarily of the stable isotope U-238, but contains small amounts of U-235. It is used to make tank rounds, because it is extremely dense and penetrates well. Once the round is fired, however, it becomes superheated and sheds particles into the air. Once even a few particles of radioactive U-235 are inhaled, they remain in the lungs forever, dooming the person to radiation sickness and cancer. This was a tremendous problem with Gulf War vets and will soon be visible in our brave soldiers fighting in this war.

What is wrong with our government? We are literally passing future death sentences for our soldiers. In what way is this acceptable?

Henry Kissinger was Secretary of State under Nixon and practicioner of "Realpolitik." This is a German word meaning "realistic politics", which describes the practice of aggressive foreign policy using political, military, and economic bullying for superiority. It is the opposite of the unrealistic or idealistic style of foreign policy that is noble, nice, and feel-good. This is what he thinks about the military:

"Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." ~ Henry Kissinger ~ January-February 2003 edition of Eagle Newsletter

Why is this man advising the current administration on the war in Iraq? Anyone who respects the soldiers of this country would never employ someone with so much disregard for them. This is despicable.

Short memory?

Who here is willing to fight and die to overthrow a tyrannical government? I for one think the time has come to do our duty (according to the Declaration of Independence) as free men and overthrow a failing and corrupt government to secure a future for our children and grandchildren.

This government is not longer for the PEOPLE.
