I've come to the conclusion that war in iraq isn;t about terrorism or oil. neither theory really makes sense for reasons I don't feel like wasting time going into (I'm sure you know the arguements) What I think Is Bush in fact is not a moron and the war is going EXACTLY the way he wanted it too. Thnk about it, a couple of thousand of American soldiers have died, but hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died. I think Bush's major plan was to turn the muslims agianst each other. They may hate us, but it seems they hate each other more. This was in check before the war in Iraq, you didn't see Muslims killing each other much, but now it happens every day. They seem more intent on killing each other then on attacking us. So maybe Bush isn't dumb, maybe he's really a genius who has decided to turn the Muslims against each other. There's really no proof of this just a theory, but it fits.

Considering the fragmented state of Iraqi politics, should the UN do more to promote reconciliation amongst the numerous factions at odds with each other? Also, with a lack of adequate infrustructure and "nation building" going at a snail's pace, should the UN also get more involved in reconstruction efforts as well?

Despite the vast majority of us being anti-war, Bush just ignores us and ploughs ahead.

All charges were dropped Thursday against Marine Lance Cpl. Justin L. Sharratt, who had been accused of killing three Iraqi brothers in response to a roadside bomb attack in Haditha in 2005. "The evidence does not support a referral to a court-martial," Lt. Gen. James Mattis wrote in his written decision. Under military law, a commanding general has total jurisdiction over a case.

Would you consider it dangerous to ask people to publish their ideas on how to kill everyone in the Democratic Party ?

How About If They Asked How To Kill Everyone In Your State ?

How About Your Town ?

How About Your Family ?

That's exactly what the New York Times reporter did !! And that's exactly what some ******** user on here did !!!

This is one of those issues that's important for EVERY American to understand .

What Should Be Done With Those Who Do This ?

What do you think about suppressing certain evidence because it has been obtained illegally? How does it relate to the Constitutional right to due process?

Many victims of crime do not like plea bargaining. If you were a victim of a crime, or a close friend or family member of a victim, how would you feel if the guilty person was given a lighter sentence because he or she pleaded guilty and avoided a trial?

What if you were accused of a crime and, although you knew you were innocent, the evidence pointed so overwhelmingly to you that you believed you had no chance of being acquitted in a trial? In this situation, how might you feel about the option of plea bargaining?

Does the government provide it? The military? Do we pay for it with taxes? Do we have to earn it?

Or are our liberties the inherent right of all Americans, as our founding fathers believed?

I suspect a lot of people here would fail high school physics.

Is that how al-Qaeda recruits its members? Rapes them when they're young and then continues when they're older. Or is that how they select the leaders? The ones who didn't fight back.

We recently were awarded a judgement againist a company in los angeles county. The person named as the defendant didn't show up to the court date but sent a representative of the company. After the judgement in our favor they then filed an appeal and hired an attorney to represent them. once again the defendant did not show up but a representative for his company was present along side the attorney. the attorney began to question the plantiff a family member of mine. he said i couldn't stand next to her because i wasn't an attorney.even though in the previous case i was allowed. Anytime she began to respond to a question the attorney would object and would look over and be very loud and argumentitive however because she isnt an attorney she wasn't allowed to object to anything he stated and was badgered by this attorney. i was under the impression that small claims meant self representation and that attorneys weren't allowed primarily for this reason. if we lose do we have any options

"On, Wisconsin ... run the ball clear down the field!"
It's time to amend the Wisconsin football song so we can cheer on the Badger State's politicians as they move toward health-care socialism.
The Wall Street Journal editorial-page editors are upset that Wisconsin's state Senate passed "Healthy Wisconsin", which will give health insurance to every person in the state. Of course, the Journal editors are right in saying that the plan is "openly hostile to market incentives that contain costs" and that the "Cheesehead nation could expect to attract health-care free-riders while losing productive workers who leave for less-taxing climes."
In addition, as the Journal put it, "Wow, is 'free' health care expensive. The plan would cost an estimated $15.2 billion, or $3 billion more than the state currently collects in all income, sales and corporate income taxes."

Earlier today a guy (screen name: giantcock5003), answered boy who is 14 who wants to join the Marines when he is of age tellin him to "wait on tables" rather than join. I emailed him and told him as an ex-Marine I am offended by his comment.

HIS REPLY: And where do you parrallel the skills of shooting at people while firing mortars, .155 howitzers, calling in JDAMS or puff the magic dragon, LRRP's, UDT, etc. in the civilian world? There isn't a big call for it. But the world does need people to bring them dinner.

MY REPLY: I parrallel those skills at work everyday THATS where. I use those skills each and everyday and it's my Marine Corps background that makes me what I am today and enable's me to excel at what I do. My leadership, my ability to work as a team, my ability to "adapt and overcome" adversity were all taught to me in the Corps. These are skill sets that cannot and WILL NOT be taught serving a plate of cold food or re-filling people drinks!
