Government - February 2007

I just read a quote of John Howard's in the 2.26.07 issue of Time magazine where he says "If I was running Al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats".

This was in response to a statement by Barack Obama that if he's elected he would pull out all the troops by March 2008.

A flammable hydrocarbon such as jet-A burns under optimal conditions (with air forced into the combustion chamber) at 1,800F. In an open air fire it will burn at about 1,200F. Structural steel doesn't melt until 3,332F. Video footage shows molten steel pouring out of the gaping wound in one of the towers. Statements, recorded on video by the Naudet brothers' documentary, of firefighters on the scene that day talked about "molten steel running down the channel rails" and how it was "like being in a foundry". Sturctural steel CAN NOT be melted by a hydrocarbon. Period. How did jet-A melt sturctural steel? If a building suffers a pancake collapse, the fastest rate of destruction possible is 6 floors per second. That would mean that the 110 story buildings should have taken at least 18.3 seconds. Newton's 2nd Law applied to an object dropped from a 110 story building would take 9.4 seconds to hit the pavement. WTC 1 fell in 8.6 seconds. WTC 2 fell in 10.4 seconds. How?

Bush is a traitor to the Spirit of the United States.

Our economic system is based on mercantilism. Our system of laws are based of the Bible and democracy. If we are a people of God then why do we base are every move worldwide on our economic power and very little on our system of laws. Basically when people threaten our economic stabiilty and say bad stuff in Iraq about us we attack with full power top protect our economic interest but when people are being slaughtered in Bosnia or dying in the Sudan of hunger then those same people who were so ready to go to war to protect our economic interest are silent when there is talk of protecting the weak and enblazening the Spirit of the United States.

Am I a traitor as Ann Coulter put it???

Eenadu, Andhra Pradesh's most reputed media brand, writes about corruption of the AP government, worse still, exposing corruption within the CM's family. I have every reason to trust Eenadu's authenticity in whatever it has to say. In reply, the Govt plans to pin down one of the Usodaya (The mother-company of Eenadu)'s firms, Margadarsi Financiers (Not to be confused with Margadarsi Chit Funds), and 'proclaim' it illegal, against RBI norms.
RBI has already given the firm their clean chit, the depositors have no objections whatsoever against the company, furthermore they stage a demonstration in support of the company.

The bigger issue I'm asking is: Is the government and Indian Legislative as a whole, developing a fascist kind of mentality, where the ruler takes it all, and the onlooker cannot even speak against it?

Just a few days ago Blair and his Government, announced that some of our troops will soon be coming home from Iraq,- well about 1,600 of them. We know they are not being brought home because the job has been completed - it is just another attempted PR excercise by Blair to cover himself and because of the further ongoing problems in Afghanistan! We would be stupid to believe our remaining troops have not been put in further danger by this bad judgment by Blair and his colleagues.
Now guess what? Tony Blair has today announced that an extra 1000 troops are being sent to Afganastan. When will this bent Government realise they cannot keep fooling us ?

YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT ALL OF US HAVE A GREAT REGARD FOR OUR PRESIDENT DR.A.P.J.ABDUL KALAM. PREPARING AN ELECTION MANIFESTO,GOING TO THE PEOPLE ,FACING ELECTIONS ,FORMING THE GOVERNMENT ETC ARE THE PREROGATIVES OF THE PRIME MINISTER BACKED BY HIS PARTY AND THE PM IS TO BE LAUDED FOR THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE LAPSES IF ANY.
BUT,THE PRESIDENT IS A CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, ONLY TO STEP IN TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE GOVERNMENT IN CASE OF ANY UNFORSEEN CRISES AND THEREFORE PRESIDENT CALLING HIS GOVERNMENT MAY NOT BE RIGHT.
KINDLY CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.
