Politics & Government - 7 November 2007

I have seen both sides of the argument. People claim that 9/11
Truthers are "conspiracy theorist nutcases" and kooks and
anarchists who are being disrespectful to those who died on 9/11
and to the soldiers who are risking their lives for the safety and
security of the USA. These are their "core beliefs":

1. They believe there is strong proof of an "inside job" on 9/11
(a) Controlled demolitions were used to destroy all 3 WTC
buildings; (b) No large debris or wreckage proving that large
passenger jet planes really did crash at the Pentagon (Flight
77) and for Flight 93; (c) Molten metal cannot be created by
open air fires

2. They believe the 9/11 Commission report was a whitewash
and a cover-up attempt that did not properly investigate what
caused steel-framed buildings to collapse due to the heat
from the jet fuel fires (the first time that any steel framed high
rise building has ever collapsed spontaneously due to fire, in
the entire history of construction).

On Capitol Hill, Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte called Musharraf an "indispensable" ally in the U.S.-led fight against terrorism and said that "partnership with Pakistan and its people is the only option."

"No country has done more in terms of inflicting damage and punishment on the Taliban and the al-Qaida since 9-11," Negroponte said. "Their record is quite impressive."

Ossama runs free in pakistan. taliban strong as ever. alquada is now mainstream movment in pakistan... and beyond..
And now Bush and the phony media aree trying to change the subject .. the pakistan court ruled or was about to rule that the election was not valid. and Bush wants to ignore and say hold elections... just like saudi arabias fake elections, for the news media and the christians consuption... freedom is not fake elections held by dictators at the point of a gun... and the judges have to rule , people of the world should unite against dictators and there supporters like Bush n co..

=======================
First of all, Republicans in congress are on record saying it would tank.

NOW SOME FACTS

1) Here are the percent increase in inflation adjusted GDP for various presidents:

FDR 177.51% (from 32' to 45')
FDR 88.14% (from 32' to 41', without WWII)
JFK/LBJ 46.00%
CLINTON 33.81%
REAGAN 30.63%
BUSH JR 16.55% (from 00' to 06')

DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE:
Jan 4, 1993 = 3,309
Jan 4, 2001 = 10,912
Right Now = 13,300

Bush has set up laws (passed by Congress) that gives him full
control over all parts of government, essentially making him a
king or a dictator, in the event of a major emergency crisis, or
a major terrorist attack deemed to be a threat to the entire
nation (even if such a crisis is fabricated or staged!)

The recently approved "Military Commissions Act" allows him
to throw anybody he likes in jail indefinitely, without any rights
to appeal or receive a hearing or a court trial to prove their
innocence. (No evidence is necessary, just strong suspicion)
The victim could be falsely framed or labeled as an "enemy
combatant" and could be detained as long as Bush likes...

Look at the "Patriot Acts" 1 and 2 in detail. Look at the
"Military Commissions Act". Read all the laws that Bush &
Cheney have put in place, waiting to be used on Americans.

Do you approve of this?

The Nazis burned down the German Parliament house
(Reichstag fire) to scare people into making Hitler a dictator.

is this the reason she has been endoresed by rove and bush? the fact that she is on the "in" crowd with bush...like "holy joe" liebermann.

Is hillary the only candiate that would not re-open 911 and investigate bush? hence the only "get out of jail free card" that bush has.

having to deal with each inevitable major mess(es) that come up every month?

terrorists, oil, dictators, civil wars, ethnic wars, tribal wars, religious wars, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Iran's nukes, & the list goes on & on.

The only time the Mideast ever had any relative peace was when the Otttoman Empire conquered & ruled the entire Mideast. Maybe the Mideast can't handle Democracy but they sure do no how to be ruled with an iron fist (e.g. Ottomans & Saddam)

So rather than trying to put out every little fire that springs up all over the "forest" (Mideast) why not have the US/Israel cut down (conquer) the entire "forest" so that no fires can get started in the first place? Or does that just make to much sense to be tried?

child support cash should be held in a bank where the women can get available funds for that month at whichever time. a documented amount should be written for the withdraw, then when the shopping is over for the child, a receipt should be brought back to the bank and the total should equal the withdraw earlier. this receipt should show purchases of kid items, toys, clothes, school supplys, and toddler feeding merchandise. this way 100% of the money will be spent on the child and the child ALONE!, i'm sick of these chicks beating the system getting all these checks + their normal job (if applicable) buying new cars, nails, clothes, high heels, and god knows what other obsolete items. if you think i'm wrong , fine and vice versa. this is an adult question and i dont want to see ppl saying grow up like always because they cant handle the truth

I've heard everything from "we'll be reading the Koran by christmas" to "she'll convert America to communism".

The con record of correctly predicting outcomes is quite pathetic.

- The economy did not tank after the 1993 Clinton/Dem bill. It grew every single month Clinton was president.
- The iraqis didn't welcome as liberators.
- The war did not pay for itself.
- The Mission was not Accomplished.
- Iraq did not have a new WMD program
- The insurgency was not in it's death troes.
- The insurgency did not die down after the elections.
- The insurgency did not die down after Saddam was captured.
and
- The insurgency did not die down after Saddam was executed.

So now you all see what is REALLY important to Pat Robertson. He'll put up with gays and abortions and pornography so long as his boy drops the BIG ONE on the Middle East, bringing about the last war at which time all gays and abortionists and pornographers and Jews (and Rudy Giuliani) will burn forever and ever and ever in Satan's lake of fire. Very clever. Didn't know that the man was so smart...

We faced this forboding issue back in the '80s...Back to the Future (part II - 1989) where Michael J. Fox comes home from work on a typical 2015 work day, and then after pulling up his 9 favorite channels on multi-channel home TV system, has to answer to his Japanese boss -- "FIRED! McFly-san!" for some blunder of the day (i.e. no job security when owned by foreign interests).

Are we so far from that future?

As the Iraqi war continues to be financed from overseas loans from Japan and others, are we not selling out our children to other countries who are more than content to let the big, invincible ol' "US of A" slug it out with the bullies of the world while they lay low and let others play protector of the planet?

Will you have to teach your children Japanese because George Bush spent their future in two administrations?

I speak Japanese because I'm an international banker. It's not about which language you speak, its about protecting your homeland sovereignty.
