would it be wiser to just start to focus on Syria?Iran DOES NOT want any part of the US military...they have seen what the force of our country will do. This is a major part on why we can not pull out and run from Iraq. The whole world is watching. If we run we will never again be feared, and yes the world does fear the the Red White and Blue.We are the "police: of the world,whether you or I like it.Better it be us than them, right. I believe the US wil not enter Iran with ground forces, I just think we will use our powers in the sky, or our mysteries in the ocean to put an end to the Iranian Nuclear Disaster. Either way Iran will loose all its nuclear toys soon.. How they loose them is up to them...Syria I believe will become the next target , as we are already spinning the propaganda machine in that direction..All this taking place in the next 5 yrs...This is a chess game played at a very high level, in which you and I cannot comprehend....Semper Fi..http://360.yahoo.com/lavadogmarineone

In various polls conducted by various organizations, the current standings are:

26% - Americans who approve of the job Bush is doing

70+% - Americans who think we should withdraw from Iraq within the next year

90% - Americans who believe our health care system is flawed and needs to be changed or completely overhauled

76% - People who are willing to pay higher taxes to receive better health care

Yet the mainstream media talks about leaving Iraq and overhauling our health-care system as "leftist" or "liberal" causes. Doesn't that mean that most Americans are liberals? Why is the term "liberal" so vilified? WHAT GIVES HERE PEOPLE???

I'm not looking for a political debate, I just heard someone at work say it and thought it was curious. If you have any sites with articles, etc, please provide them as well.

Our Government is planning something terrible.

You thought 9/11 was bad

I fear for this Country before the 2008 elections.

Our Government is going to try to instill more fear on us with terror and they are going to stage another attack on us before Bush has to leave!

Martial Law will be the final nail in our coffins.

The closer we get to the 2008 elections, the quicker Iran steps up their nuclear production.
Coincidence - I don't think so. I will bet you we or Israel will attack Iran before August and we will be forced through propaganda into a war.

Then they will stage the attack saying it was retaliation for attacking Iran.

Get ready America - the worst is coming and before next year.

Not much time to prepare.

Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance

Stay alive - get your iodine pills quickly.

California - maybe Chicago - God forbid it happens to New York again

Call me crazy, but there are many of you who will know it is possible.

Has anyone heard lately whether or not the Elected Representative from the State of Louisiana which, is the State with a Chocolate City, who mysteriously kept 90K in his freezer is still sitting in Congress?
I'm just curious. It seems as if it might be important.

When Howard Stern spoke out against the president (who owns stock in Clear Channell) he was censored, and left to go to satellite. Why don't the cons who don't want to be regulated go there, like the libs do?

Every time elections are held, only 40-60% voters turn up. After the result many undeserving people get the seats. As a result people get an in-competent government.
This government is ineffective because the power is in hands of incompetent people.
This happens because 50% of voters donot vote. Because of them the country is suffering. They are actually not citizen of India, but they are liabilty to the country.
It is because of these people the fellow citizens & country is suffering.
It should be made law that.if people donot go to vote then they should be punished or deported.
Voting is as mandatory for a prosperous-country as food is for living.

Didn't they run against Republicans and the “culture of corruption”?

So, what have they done? Iraq, Earmarks, and don't forget about William Jefferson. Will the immigration bill save them?

I hate these, honestly, why shouldn't people be allowed to smoke in a bar? I can understand at a restraunt, but wtf, a bar?!?! Also, why aren't they doing anything about fat people. Why not a nationwide ban on trans fat. Do you think obesity is a taboo subject? For example it seems acceptable to tell a smoker to quit smoking but is considered cruel to tell a fatso to stop stuffing his face with food.

Hamas won the election by a landslide last year. The people overwhelmingly said that they desired Hamas rule. Hamas has obviously proven themselves a terrorist entity. Even President Abbas called them terrorists and murderers. Fatah wasn't able to hold their own for one week against Hamas in Gaza. So if Hamas rises up in Judea and Samaria, what then? Is Fatah going to hand over the state the international community wants to give them to Hamas? Is Fatah going to be anointed the monarch of that state to prevent Hamas from winning elections again? Hamas is burning churches and killing Christians in Gaza for practicing their religion. Hamas is shooting rockets at Jewish civilians in Sderot everyday, but where is the media outcry? These aren't nice people, but they are the elected government. What does that say about the majority attitude of the Palestinians about people that aren't Muslim? Why should an illegal government (fatah) be rewarded for not handling their business?

I always shake my head everytime I think of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Who was the genius that originally put this outfit together? I mean Alcohol and Firearms??? What a ridiculous combo.

Well, it's just recently, however, that some dolt in D.C. realizes that the tobacco unit of the ATF was the odd man out, so they decided to included.... *gasp*.... EXPLOSIVES????

So, now we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. As scared as I was thinking about Uncle Sam grouping Alcohol/Firearms together, I'm really frightened at the prospect of Cigarettes/Explosives!!!

I live in Ohio, and there is a law that if youre 16,
youre not allowed to have more than one other person
in the car with you while driving.

My boyfriend, my friend, Sarah, her boyfriend, Tom, and I
are going on a roadtrip sometime soon,
and we're gonna be taking the Ohio turnpike.

Do you think the people at the Ohio turnpike
will ask to see my license or something (since I'm only 16)
and then call the cops and bust us?

I have just recently had my house appraised and I was shocked to say the least. My home has increased only 21% since bought this home in 1986. Yet the average in Phoenix and the surrounding cities is 72% during the same time. I asked my appraiser why this is and he stated honestly, "it's the area you live in" 20 years ago this was one of the hotspots to move to and now everybody wants out of here because of all the imigration to this area. Now I won't say illegal because I don't know how many are illegal except when I've came home from work and a few time and see the INS cars and Sherriff department out here and then see on the news that another coyote house has been busted in my neighborhood. That has happened 3 times in just the past year. So do you really think that ILLEGAL immigration doesn't cost or effect us at all? I'm learning the hard way that my beautiful home isn't worth much more than what I paid for it 20 years. And this is Phoenix, the highest state for housing

Considering the mass migration of Mexicans into the U.S. is acknowledgment of the failure of Mexican government to govern and tend their own peoples - and considering the vast majority of money paid to immigrants by employers in the U.S. goes back to Mexico anyway - why not annex Mexico as a U.S. territory like Puerto Rico?

The U.S. is by the vast opinion of immigrants, run far better than Mexico - otherwise we would have no mass migration of immigrants here into the U.S.

Big business in Mexico is a puppet of the U.S. gov't anyway.~

Without the U.S. the parasite known as Mexico would wither and die anyway.
