Politics & Government - 13 October 2007

Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez has condemned the Iraq War as a nightmare. He was especially critical of U.S. political leaders and decisions made early in the war. He is not the only military leader to speak out against the war. At what point do our political leaders do something responsible?

Now that the leading scientists of the world all agree about the dangers of global warming,the international community is working together to combat it(without the U.S. or China of course),and Gore has just been given the world's top award for
his work against it-well,I just have to wonder.

Could it be that global warming is actually a real problem?
Is it possible that once again Bush's loyal followers have been
misled?

If you think the Nobel Prize has become a sham,can you give a reason other than it being awarded to Gore? Can you give
facts to back up your arguments?

While reading a questions about retired General Sanchez whom used to run the war in Iraq. A number of people brought up some very nice points. One said that Sanchez authorized the torture at Abu Ghraid while another accused him of the failures in Iraq. Previously, Bush has said that he communicates with his generals regarding the situation on the ground. So, if the torture scandal goes up to the former top commander of American forces in Iraq and I take Bush at his word, is it reasonable that Bush knew about the torture and did nothing? Further, one also states that Sanchez is responsible for the failures in Iraq. Since Bush is Sanchez's boss, don't those failures also reflect on him (Bush)?

He won the prize for the Camp David Accords, which brough a real and lasting peace to Isreal and Eygpt. It was the first time Isreal created a formal peace with any of it's neighbors.

Thanks to Jimmy Carter, the peace helped provide some stability in a region rocked in constant turmoil. Carter should be honored for this standing achievement.

For Republicans to bash efforts of peace, especially a lasting peace created by Carter....it shows their immaturity, nonunderstanding of the world around them, and lack of historical knowledge.

I no fan of his but do not believe he is. He always seems to be one step ahead of congress. Even after numerous controversies and resignations of cabinet members plus congress still in the palm of his hand (funding the war) I do not believe this man is an idiot.

The Iraqis can run their own nation just fine. We removed Saddam, we did our job, it's time to bring our soldiers home to peace and safety.

The Republicans want to stay another 5-10 years, even though there is no victory plan.

9/11 even happened. How can the neocons say that their massive, unconstitutional surveillance of all domestic communication is "to protect America from the terrorists" when 9/11 didn't even happen yet? It's well documented that in the months leading up to 9/11, bush brushed off the issue of terrorism. He all but ignored the urgent warnings from foreign intelligence agencies of the impending attack. He never called even one high-level meeting on the subject of terrorism.

The Soviet KGB spied on its own citizens, not to protect the country from outside threats, but to protect the the corrupt ruling class from internal challenges that came from the country's own citizens. We all know about cheney's desire to maintain a "permanent republican majority." Did the neocons want to spy on patriotic Americans in order to protect their power base from the people of America? Why else would they want to gain such an illicit advantage over the citizens of America?

I'm not sure if I'm phrasing my question above correctly, so I am rephrasing it several ways:
Before someone presents their statement in front of any Senate Committee, are they sworn to tell the truth?
Can the person be held accountable for anything they say to a Senate Committee?
Is it legal for the person's testimony to include false information and/or include false statements of having implemented a solution to a problem (when in fact, the solution had never been implemented)?

What happens if a person is caught lying to the Senate? What are the repercussions?

[ {Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez}...the former top commander of American forces there called the Bush administration’s handling of the war “incompetent” and said the result was “a nightmare with no end in sight.”...“National leadership continues to believe that victory can be achieved by military power alone,” he said. “Continued manipulations and adjustments to our military strategy will not achieve victory. The best we can do with this flawed approach is stave off defeat.”...“The administration, Congress and the entire inter-agency, especially the State Department, must shoulder responsibility for the catastrophic failure, and the American people must hold them accountable,” he said....He said in an interview in June with Agence France-Presse that the best the United States could achieve in Iraq would be stalemate. ] - "Ex-Commander Says Iraq Effort Is ‘a Nightmare’", The New York Times, 10/13/2007

People should be saying "lower our taxes" and "we'll get better healthcare with the United States type HMO's" and "competition will improve healthcare", isn't that right?

So conservatives, WHY aren't people doing that in other countries? I bet HMO's would be eager to market their services with the chance to make billions of dollars, so I am sure they would be eager to expand business.
