Where can I find a website that will have easy to understand information on factors that influence presidential approval ratings and why they do so? I'm not looking for something elaborate, more straightforward, but anything is better than nothing.
I''m not just looking for a what [influences presidential approval], but also a why.

Any Middle Eastern country even thinking about engaging in war against the United States is fooling themselves!!!
If they think our military is insufficient we always have our very own stockpile of WMD's and OBVIOUSLY a president who won't be intimidated!!!
For Iran or ANY country to think they can threaten us ....You have been warned!!
North Korea......Please!! They are what....about the same land mass as......Alabama?

So, much money would it take to buy your support if you were in a position of power/in the government/congress/senate/President/The Administration?

What is your price to send young men and women to their deaths, or to kill people for nothing more than lies stacked on top of lies?

What is your price? Every man has his price, right?

There is a difference between a truly needy homeless person who is down on his/her luck. But I am sure you have seen MEN who are able bodied BUMS out there shaking a Burger King cup in your face.

You don't have to tell me that they might not be all there in the mental department. There are people out there who look normal who are nuts too..

U.S. Criticizes China Over Missile Test
By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer
2 hours ago

WASHINGTON - The United States criticized China on Thursday for conducting an anti-satellite weapons test in which an old Chinese weather satellite was destroyed by a missile.

The Bush administration has kept a lid on the test for more than a week as it weighs its significance. Analysts said China's weather satellites would travel at about the same altitude as U.S. spy satellites, so the test represented an indirect threat to U.S. defense systems.

"The United States believes China's development and testing of such weapons is inconsistent with the spirit of cooperation that both countries aspire to in the civil space area," National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said. "We and other countries have expressed our concern to the Chinese."

In his annual threat address to Congress, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, said last week that China and Russia are the "primary states of concern" regarding military space programs.

"Several countries continue to develop capabilities that have the potential to threaten U.S. space assets, and some have already deployed systems with inherent anti-satellite capabilities, such as satellite-tracking laser range-finding devices and nuclear-armed ballistic missiles," he said in his written testimony on Jan. 11, the same day China's test was conducted.

The test, first reported by Aviation Week, destroyed the satellite by hitting it with a kinetic kill vehicle launched aboard a ballistic missile.

In October, President Bush signed an order asserting the United States' right to deny adversaries access to space for hostile purposes. As part of the first revision of U.S. space policy in nearly 10 years, the policy also said the United States would oppose the development of treaties or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space.

"Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power," the policy said. "In order to increase knowledge, discovery, economic prosperity and to enhance the national security, the United States must have robust, effective and efficient space capabilities."

Precisely what drove China to act now remains a mystery. But the United States has to figure out how to respond, said John Pike, a satellite expert at globalsecurity.org.

Since the mid-1980s, the United States has had the ability to take down satellites, but the Chinese don't have satellites worth attacking, Pike said. The United States may have to develop alternatives to its current spy satellites _ perhaps stealthy satellites or unmanned aerial vehicles, which are harder to detect than the current well-established U.S. satellite network.

Reconnaissance satellites in low-Earth orbit _ "eyes in the sky" _ are essential to how the United States fights wars.

"Our space assets are the first asset on the scene," Pike said. "They are absolutely central to why we are a superpower _ a signature component to America's style of warfare."

The Defense Department declined to comment on the test.

Adm. William Fallon, the chief of U.S. Pacific Command, has spearheaded a major push to revive exchanges with the Chinese military. Ties soured after a U.S. spy plane collided with a Chinese fighter plane in 2001.

Fallon has pushed ahead with the program, despite criticism inside the Pentagon. He believes that Chinese and U.S. officers need to understand each another better to avoid disastrous miscalculations.

Bush nominated Fallon this month to take over command of troops in the Middle East.
