Eagle Bridge, NY — April 9, 2007 — Last week Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Damascus to visit with Syrian President Bashar Assad. While there, she delivered a message that “Israel was ready to engage in peace talks” with Syria. The Israeli prime minister denied he had given Ms. Pelosi any such message. The United States has severed high-level contacts with Syria, and the White House strongly critized Pelosi’s visit.

The Assad family gained power during a coup in 1971. President Assad is suspected of supporting the terrorist groups Hazbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and is widely credited with the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri in 2005. The U.N. is considering charges against Assad. On her visit, Speaker Pelosi declared: “We came in friendship, hope, and determined that the road to Damascus is a road to peace.”

Any American citizen, including members of Congress, may meet with foreign governments on fact finding missions. However, the Logan Act, passed in 1799, forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments under penalty of fines and up to three years in prison. The Supreme Court has stated: “Into the field of negotiation the Senate cannot intrude, and Congress itself is powerless to invade it.” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Tom Lantos declared: “We have an alternative Democratic foreign policy” and “this is only the beginning of our constructive dialogue with Syria.”

Burkley and UCLA. If Ahmadenijahd gives the word, I bet all these sleeper cell college students will surface and begin attacking.

Who agrees?

Why do these moronic children label those who simply want the immigration laws of the USA enforced as racist, bigots, Nazi's etc....

The U.S. like every other soverign nation in the world has the responsibility to control it's borders and determine who gets to enter and who must leave. The tax paying American citizens have every right to expect and DEMAND that those who desire to enter this country obey our laws just like we are expected to obey the laws of any country we enter.

The vast majority of Americans have no problem with legal immigration, we have a problem with ILLEGAL immigration. Will these misinformed, uneducated liberals ever get it right ?

Yet these people expect the commoners (that's you and me) to pony up even more taxes to continue the overinflation of their bank accounts.

I'll be graduating in a few months and I've pretty much made up my mind that I want to join the United States Navy. I've spoken to a recruiter and I believe it's the route I'd like to take but there are some things I've been wondering about.

Since there aren't any expenses in the Navy, it would seem like it would be easy to save about 90 percent of your earnings while enlisted and come out with a great deal of money in the bank. After I've finished my enlistment I'll attend college, and I'll still be supported financially by my family, but I was hoping to use the money I save to buy a new car among other luxurys. Does this seem plausible? Are there expenses I don't know about? Is it really as easy as it seems to save while enlisted? I don't think I've heard of anyone coming straight out of enlistment having much money saved. Am I missing something?

How did the democrat party originally elect,and continue for decades to elect a man who worked at the highest levels of the KKK? Was it after they elected Robert "KKK" Byrd that they decide that they considered blacks human beings,and was they why he at least ceremonially left the KKK?

What are we (the USA) getting that is worth:
3,271 Americans dead
24,314 Americans wounded
24,188 Americans severely injured
1-2 trillion dollars (estimate by economist Joseph Stiglitz; this figure includes all the interest we are going to pay on the borrowed war)

What could possibly be worth that cost?

Do we really care that much about improving the political situation of a backward arab nation with only 27 million people in it? Are we really going to get our lives and money back in oil revenues?

Even at $70/barrel Iraq would have to give us every drop of their maximum oil production (3.5 million barrels per day) for free for 11-22 years just to pay back the cash we've put into this war. Does anyone really think that is going to happen? And what about the lives?

Maybe the war is making us safe from terrorism? Not according to "Trends in Global Terrorism: Implications for the United States," a report from our own intelligence agencies.

Seems to me this war is shaping up to be the biggest waste of resources and lives in American history, but I'd really like to think otherwise if only someone could provide me with a good answer.
