Politics & Government - 23 September 2007

In 2001, Pakistan agreed to allow US military overflights in the War on Terror, yet since our victory in Afghanistan it is the border areas of Pakistan that have hidden the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
A few weeks ago, Pakistan raided the Red Mosque which housed militant extremists.
And in his third message this month, Bin Laden himself addressed AQ's position on Pakistan and Musharraf.

In my article, "An Ally Assailed", I examine some of those events along with my own experiences with the Paki Military (not in it).
Why do the Paki people protest the US?
Does AQ consider Musharraf an ally or enemy?
How does that which is written in YA effect the propaganda of AQ and worldwide opinion of the US?

I was told by Yahoo Answers Abuse above my posting of “Jason W. Ask “For those that do not believe in God. What is the solution to all the problems we see today? WAR?”, was not liked by others. After posting my last post, I went home and made a flyer of that page to fax (503-378-6827) to Governor Ted Kulongoski of Oregon. With a side note on it saying “If the truth were told, how my case got from the congregation to the church/state of other faiths, did the state unknowingly sin against my unique form of faith and me needlessly?” Now with my fight to get my case expunged and no money, I need a form like Yahoo Answers not to get in my way of my constitutional freedom of speech! I need the Governor to see my wise choice to live by my faith’s therapy over the state’s which I was doing before it ended up illegally in the state’s hands! NOW, can we get answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com to give me their contact fax, phone, address, to their legal area? After all, our God give us all freedom!

(I'm trying to be neutral here)
Based on the present political and economic situation that the US, is facing right now, would you have wanted Operation Iraqi Freedom to push through, assuming you had the power to influence things 4 years ago?

2 Questions:

1. Did you support, or at least agree back then? Why?
2. How about today, after the aforementioned basis? Why?

I would like to immigrate to the USA when I am older, because of the cheaper house prices and a chance to vote against extreme right wingers. I would like to know what kind of jobs they want, there, so I can get a degree in it, and get that job there. =]

Any job ideas! I am only 14 but I am more intelligent than the average person of my age.

Any ideas?

I've been hearing stories about a new "black project" military craft that will supposedly fast enough to cross the Atlantic ocean in a half hour.

But the rumors, magazine articles, and televison speculations have been going on for years...

Does anyone have any links to more information, including any kind of verification of whether the project really exists?

Remember-- The stealth planes were well kept secrets and denied by the government up until the day we used them in war.

isn't the notion of a prvate militia unconstituional in the United States?

furthemore since our tax dollars are paying for black water- how come congress has no idea how much money is being funneled to them by by Bush?

Apparenlty bush did his homework on hitler. because blackwater is the modern day S.S. on steroids.

note- bush considers blackwater not a militia but rather, "SECURITY" see below link

How come we have so many people in this country that sympathize with Islamofascism (liberals in Congress, media, across country etc.), but not with the Jewish people in Israel, or Jewish people in general?

Conservatives and liberals should all be united on defending Israel.

The same can be said for Christianity, as well as Judiasm too.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I hadn't even considered teenagers before. But now I think that by letting illegals get all the newbie jobs we might be keeping teens from landing their first jobs and building up resumes.
I had thought that by making it hard to get jobs which required little or no skills it would motivate Americans to better themselves and continue their education.

Why do people expect to be treated as equals but at the same time, when it comes to politics, expect to be pandered to as minorities?

"Project Checkmate, a successor to the group that planned the 1991 Gulf War’s air campaign, was quietly reestablished at the Pentagon in June.

It reports directly to General Michael Moseley, the US Air Force chief, and consists of 20-30 top air force officers and defence and cyberspace experts with ready access to the White House, the CIA and other intelligence agencies."

Wouldn't it be just if the blcakwater gang got the same fair trial as Saddam and the same consequences?

Seems like "just deserts" to me.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/09/23/blackwater.probe/index.html

I have no problem with the Iraqi government offering any of blackwater guys the same fate Saddam had.

that is democracy in action. Isn' that what Bush wants in Iraq? democracy? or just oil?

Does anyone have any idea where the plane that went down in Pennsylvania was headed to? I've heard many different answers...

AND

Was that plane, flight 93, shot down or crashed? I know the official report is that is crashed, but they found pieces of the plane miles away...that doesn't happen if a plane crashes.
