It just shows the average intelligence level of you conservatives on this board. The Cheney clip is now on YouTube but was taken from a news network. I'm sure you could view it on Yahoo video as well. Would you still doubt it's reliability? The point is that he realized the negative ramifications that an invasion of Iraq would have on the region as well as the reputation of our country and it's government. But you conservatives are so brain washed that you will not admit that we do not belong in that country...and why is it that not one conservative addresses the fact as to why we can't defeat these punks with machine guns? Are we not the most powerful fighting force on this planet?...and I guarantee that as a liberal, I love my country more than any conservative because I want more freedoms for my people, not government controlled programs like Homeland Security or some suit telling me what to do with my body. You cons have got it backwards...

Whether we want to be or not , I think we are . And I asked for Christian's responses because we all follow the Bible(at least our interpretation of it )
Here's the deal . Radical Islamists have determined they are in a religious or Holy war , so whether we like it or not , this is a religious war . Sure we may not be outwardly saying it(I think Bush knows though) but deep-down I think most of us know we are fighting one .
So How does that change anything ? Well knowing our enemy is always key to victory . A person who thinks they're fighting for their God(radical islamists) is more likely to do most anything to win . Hence their barbaric bombing of innocent people worldwide . They have rich fighters and poor fighters . People of all walks of life and finances . But the one common denominator is that they're of the Muslim faith , a Radical Islamist Muslim , but Muslim nonetheless .

Do You Agree ?
Does That Change 'How' We Should Be Fighting This War ?
Will It Change To That ?

When will I get my free house and free car?

I think the government should provide these in addition to free health care

Everyone deserves some place to live and everyone deserves to have some mode of transportation.

When can I receive these?

The FISA law is very clear. (1) It is a limiting statute - if a program is not covered by FISA and it is not illegal under any other statute, then as long as the program is funded, it's legal. (2) FISA specifically defines the types of "electronic surveillance" to which it applies and it applies only to those types. (3) The monitoring of cross-border communications, using satellites (i.e., not in the US), where the target of the investigation is not a US citizen or legal resident, is not one of the types of electronic surveillance - thus FISA does not apply on those facts.

No rational person can read the FISA statute and not come to this conclusion.

Stop calling it "domestic" wiretapping when it is international, and stop calling it "illegal" wiretapping when it is legal.

You might not agree with it - that's your opinion - that it is not domestic and not illegal are matters of fact.

OK let me make this clear first! NONE OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ HAPPENED!

I'm in a resturant and someone notices me stumbling around as I'm getting ready to leave and calls the cops (who just happen to be close by) Just as I'm getting in my car Johnny Law arrests me. They take me to the police station and give me a breath test. The legal limit is .08 but surprise! Even though it seems like I'm drunk I blow .07!!! Does John Law still have a case or should I walk?

I'm considering joining the military and am really interested in becoming a linguist. I have talked to all of the different branches, and most are telling me that I can't take the DLAB with them until I make some sort of commitment to their branch. Is there some way I could take the DLAB without one of the branches? Thanks!

A friend of mine and I was having a serious discussion about this yesterday. We are both black women and I told her that I didn't care what Don Imus said, because this man offends everybody. I thought him getting fired was a little over the top but a punishment should have been set in place for his insensitive remarks.

My friend said that he was white and he shouldn't have said that period and he deserved to be fired.

I disagreed with her on that even though I understood where she was coming from. Don Imus is an entertainer. A shock jock. Your average rapper is also an entertainer and what he or she says is shocking too.

Black women are looked down upon nowadays and a big reason for that is because of the way we are portrayed in the media, specifically by rappers and comedians. If we are going to start suing people for devaluing us, let's not just sue Don Imus.

Most crime is drug related
I thought we learned that prohibition doesnt work
gangs and drug traffickers will not exist, being some of the most dangerous people to society...
alcohol is ranked 5 in worst drugs list
marijuana is 11th
Isnt it a freedom to do what we like...
Isnt it a victimless crime?
Less jails and inmates , less guns on the street, less cops needed. saved money for the society....
It seems the poor are the ones that use drugs the most to cope with living in a judgmental society...
are you judging them?does it help them for you to judge them?

I understand why some people are angry about Bush starting the war, but I would like to see them run the country after the war was started. Bush is in an extremely difficult position; if he withdraws our troops, the Iraqi government can collapse and the insurgents might have an easier time getting our troops, but if he keeps our troops there, more will die and who knows how long we will have to stay there. I am not the biggest Bush fan, but at the moment, some people need to grow the hell up and respect how hard it is to be US President at times. It's not a walk in the park, like many who criticize every of Bush's moves think. Even my father, who is a Democrat, almost never has criticized Bush and he has said how hard it is to be US President and he says he could never imagine what he could do if he was President at the current moment.

Do they have ob/gyn's? Do you visit the same doctor every time before delivering? Do they have epidurals? Are they ready and able to handle a serious medical problem with baby or mom? We are thinking of having another baby. And thinking of moving on post for awhile. I had one bad experience with a military hospital in OK. So I am a little scared to actually have a baby in one. Does anyone know anything about the hosptial at Camp Robinson, little rock AR? Do they have a hospital?

How probable do you think Hilary Clinton will be elected in 2008 for president? Even though it's too early to tell, could you see yourself possibly voting for Clinton?

In other words, the Democrats pay as they go (except under Clinton we had a balanced budget and actually had a surplus money to help pay off the previos national debt).

Now after all these years of Republican rule, can we now blame the "Republican Borrow and Spend" economics for the current stock market crash and financial institutiion collapse?

And who is going to pay for all the trillions of tax payers dollars the Fed Reserve is pumping into the markets to support the rich? And who is keeping track of this bill, so that the fat cats can pay the tax payers back?
