Politics & Government - 2 October 2007

On that date April 12th 2003, al-Ghazali and his family sheltered in their house as a fierce street battle erupted in his neighborhood. In the midst of the fighting, he noticed that the Americans had called up an oddly configured tank. Then to his amazement the tank suddenly let loose a blinding stream of what seemed like fire and lightning, engulfing a large passenger bus and three automobiles. Within seconds the bus had become semi-molten, sagging "like a wet rag" as he put it. He said the bus rapidly melted under this withering blast,shrinking until it was a twisted blob about the dimensions of a VW bug. As if that were not bizarre enough,he explicitly describes seeing numerous human bodies shriveled to the size of newborn babies.Cox report that former USSR once was deeply involved in exploring high-powered electromagnetic weapons, but now Russia is no longer pursuing them. Other nations believed to be conducting research and arming these arsenals are China,Great Britain and France.

Good Morning!
After listening to Senators Reid and Harkin condemning Rush Limbaugh, it gave me pause to wonder..........
Is it the governments job to take a persons opinion, pick it apart and condemn it?
Is free speech in this another freedom in Jeopardy?

...or is practicality the name of the game? Nowadays, countless events and situations are presented in the news / media showing the prevalence of corruption, crime, bribery among others. Are people still willing to fight for what they believe in or money / power much more important?

I do NOT recognise the authority of the EU and I do NOT consider myself to be 'European'. My personal protest is to refuse to purchase anything produced in any EU member state outside the UK and to ignore and boycott anything and everything connected with the EU. I am a UKIP member and will vote only for UKIP candidates - or not vote at all. What will YOU do to recover our democracy and independence?

Now that the surge has been proven a success, was Blackwater the only logical thing to attack next?

Let me throw you a bone...Gitmo is still operating. Just thought I'd help you find another senseless issue to attack.

Is he just trying to snow everyone? I think he's just another Fidel Castro. Stubborn and refuses to be part of the world out of a grudge. Besides, all he has to do is build weapons then hold out his hand for us to pay him not to do so.

2007-10-02 22:04:00 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Politics

are there others that he doesn't mention?

it's in the transcript... clearly plural... but then he defends it by saying it's only talking about one?

this if from the transcript:

"CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

CALLER: The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they're proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they're willing to sacrifice for the country.

RUSH: They joined to be in Iraq.

RUSH: It's frustrating and maddening, and why they must be kept in the minority. I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much."

how does that not mean that if you don't support the war... you're a phoney soldier? it goes on to talk about the "fake soldier"...but this section isn't about that?

I CLEARLY see later on he's only talking about one...

I live in an apartment complex and for over five years I have been working on my car on church property across the street
and everybody in the apartment complex knows it even the preacher knows it and the other day somebody called the cops
and told them that I was working on my car behind the church
I think it was a crazy ***** that I stopped talking to and she did it for spite . can anything be done to her if she makes a call like that knowing that I have permission to work on my car in that place . Is that a false police report or something ?

Hi,

I have a radio show that gets broadcast via Internet and San Diego area digital cable. I want to start creating a podcast out of my talk show, but I was wondering if PSAs are copyrighted like regular music/images.

Would I be breaking the law replaying a PSA from my show on my podcast? Are they exempted because of their status as a "public service announcement?" Or should I omit them from the podcast like I am required to omit music?

If there was every a necessary Rebellion against The U.S. Government would The U.S. Army involve iself in the rape,torture, and murder of each type of U.S. citizen as they fought The Rebellion. If not would mercenaries do so or if both was possible would both behave in simillar ways to mercenaries during The Thirty Year's War in Europe except the war would be non religious . Would they behave so if it lasted Thirty years unlikey as it may seem

BURMESE MILITARY IS WORTH US$ 200,000,000,000 OR 60,000,000,000,000 KYAT AT MARKET PRICE.

FOR 60 YEARS THE BURMESE GENERALS SPEND ABOUT 50% OF THEIR BUDGET TO BUY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.

AMERICA COULD BOMB BURMA FOR ONE WEEK AND THERE WILL BE NO WEAPON LEFT FOR THE BURMESE COLONELS.

BURMESE COLONEL WILL HAVE TO USE STICK TO FIGHT WITH THAILAND AND BANGLADESH.

IF AMERICA BOMB BURMA THEN IT IS EASY FOR THAILAND AND BANGLADESH TO GRAP 32 PERCENT OF BURMESE LAND BECAUSE MINORITIES BELONG TO 32% OF BURMESE LAND.

THESE MINORITIES CONTROL VALUABLE DRUG TRADE.

BURMA, THAILAND AND LAOS FORM THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE FOR DRUG TRADE.

THE MONEY IS GOOD AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE GENERALS TO GIVE UP THESE POCKET MONEY.

AMERICA MUST REMEMBER THAT THOSE DRUG FROM BURMA ARE DESTROYING AMERICAN YOUTHS.

I THINK THOSE GENERALS HAD 20 YEARS OF FUN SINCE 1988 AND IT ABOUT TIME THEY RETIRE IN CHINA WITH THEIR DRUG MONEY.

THOSE BURMESE COLONELS OR YOUNG TURKS COULD START A NEW BURMA.

If Goncalo Amaral made his accusations against the McCanns after lunch alcohol may have played a part in the confused and unproven string of accusations he made against the McCanns. Just look at this guy , he is an "arguido" himself for assaulting another suspect. He is also one of those who grilled the McCanns after lying that he had "proof" that their daughter was "killed by accident" and another string of lies.

This is what I have gathered from some answers from this Yahoo Answers and from sources elsewhere.

It seems to me that many people are extremely proud of their country's army. This is understandable because the army of a country symbolise its strength and its might.

However, is there anyone who don't really like the army or do not like it very much? I can't possibly believe everyone in this world likes the army and its way of life?

Why would you not like the army or be in the army? Is there any particular reason? Is it because it is too tough and the people there too rough? Is it because you prefer other things?

Mind sharing your thoughts?

My mother was an illeagal for years before becomming a US citizen. I am well aware of who I am and what brought me here. I am just sick and tired of being put into some category that I am not Mexican enough for some of you. I have studied my heritage intensly, and my roots to Mexico are very close to my heart. By this I mean my Family. My father and his father served USA in times of war, this is my right and honor to fly the only flag that has brought prosperity to my family's name. I have never been ashamed of being of Mexican decent. Trust me, I am doing what I can to make it here in the USA. I dont say that it has always been fair for Mexicans here in USA, but we fought for generations and we are here. My father and grand parents comes from the ZOOT SUIT Generation. They stood up to the local governments in Los Angeles. I claim the flag as my own because my family fought for it and it is just as much ours as any other American.
