John McCain made the United States more strategically dangerous than before 9/11.
When Edwards said the war in Iraq was a license plate did he mean that Al quada was attracted by the historically collosal blunder of the United States concentrating their bulk of military in the futile war in Iraq instead of concentrating on Al Quada and the Taliban in Afghanistan?

Then why did the 'Democratic Daily' , a blog for Democrats , kick-off Cindy Sheehan ?
Note : The director said the "Democratic blog has one goal in mind , and that's Democratic victory " . One Goal ? Huh , I'm confused . I thought Democrats were PRO Free Speech . Hmmmmmm . I'm really not trying to make something outta nothing , but this is a glaring example of Free Speech ONLY when we agree with you . And I really don't think any Democrat can logically dispute that . I mean , cmon you guys , this is NOT an example that you want people associating you with. . . . is it ???

Hi everyone,
please advise on this problem.
My passport has suffix kumar after my first name (anilkumar).
The reason being my 10th Leaving certi and Passing Certi have the name Anilkumar on it.
However, all other certificates (PAN card, B.com degree and 12th certi) have name Anil on it.
I dont have Birth certificate.
Since my Birth date and place are are mentioned only on Leaving certificate, i was forced to make passport with name Anilkumar.
I want to change it to Anil to get in line with PAN card and other documents.
Please advise.
Also advise regarding contact of agents or lawyers in mumbai who can help to correct this situation.
Thanks in advance.

If so, then why not a Conservative bias? Does being "Fair and Balanced" mean giving both sides a voice, even if one of the sides are false? Is the new today more concerned with stories that entertain than with stories that inform? Why do journalists let quest get away with spreading lies and falsehoods, when they know what they are saying is false. Why is it that the people watching or listening to the show have to call in to correct them. Are journalist of today just lazy or they just dont care? (by lies i mean actual lies not diferances of opion.)

...did they sheetcan representative Ron Paul? I mean if this was a movie it'd be titled "Silence Of The Paul." I mean they dropped representative Paul into the "porcelain lake", pushed down the chrome handle & as far as their concerned it's "journey to the septic tank" for Ron Paul. I mean I would not care if it was Charles Manson running for office, I would still think the major media should cover ALL candidates as a service to the public. Even many of the polls just simply "deleted" him like no mention what so ever! This generally only happens when some one dose not want the cat to get out of the bag. Like is the major news media corporate in bed with some or all of Ron Paul's competition??? Fair & balanced? You bet, it's FAIR for them to BALANCE the coverage for their benefit!!!

for example...
how many people think that iraq was a mistake? is a common one on CNN
which is an extremely stupid question for a poll and useless.
why don't they ask/show some real poll questions like
how many people think iraq would be in chaos if US troops leave?
or
how many think that the terrorist will romp freely in iraq if US troops leave?
or
what will happen to the iraqi people who supported US after US troops withdraw from iraq?
or
how many people think that the 'war on terror' actually means running away from terrorist (al-qaeda) in iraq. (regardless of how they got there and so on....they are there now and we must deal with them instead of just running away and praying to jesus that they wont attack US again.)

Senators John Warner, a WWII Navy vet, and Richard Lugar, considered the Senate's leading authority on WMD's have done just that. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070714/ap_on_go_co/us_iraq

So what happens now? Does Warner get swiftboated by the Busheviks? Does Ann Coulter brand both men "whiny liberals?" Are both long time Conservatives now "Traitors?" Do their names go on the "No Fly List?" Does Bill O'Reilly and Faux News pretend it never happened?

Enquiring minds want to know.

The first period we have results for compares the 2 months prior to the surge to the two months after it started, from the Brookings Institute.
I have analyzed those results from a military perspective and put that and the link to the original report on my blog: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-DfkctJU7dK5B7LcNROoyVQ--?cq=1

My SPECIFIC QUESTIONS are:
In those four months:
Are civlian deaths up or down?
in Baghdad?
in Iraq?
Are car bombings up or down?
Are political assassinations up or down in Baghdad?

How does this affect your position on the war?

Are you confident enough in your opinion to look at the 'facts' or will you only regurgitate what your politicians and journalists tell you to think?
