...Via radioactive fallout or some other vector in harmful doses??

How small of a radioactive dose is harmful... it has been proven in the studies done by government radiation releases over the town of Hanford that small exposures to radiation can have highly adverse effects on the human thyroid gland... frequently resulting in thyroid cancer.

Small doses of radiation also cause a high rate of birth defects...

Please try to support your responses with factual information... this is something we should all discuss before advocating use of nuclear force on the middle east with our loved ones deployed in the region.

if nukes are used (and it doesn't sound like they are talking tactical nukes either)... there will be few left to vote... it would be genocide on a level many times that of what Saddam did?

it sounds like you're trying to cloak your genocidal intentions in a "spreading democracy" lambskin at times...

granted this is not all conservaives... but I've heard the same many times...

The remains of about 40 percent of the victims were never recovered, and hundreds of bone fragments have been discovered in and around Ground Zero in the last six months, the lawsuit says.
Eric Beck, a construction worker employed at the Fresh Kills landfill in the borough of Staten Island, where the rubble was taken after the Twin Towers fell, said in his affidavit that the process of sifting through the debris was rushed.
Beck said he saw sanitation workers removing small pieces of debris containing possible bone fragments and loading them "onto tractors, and using it to pave roads and fill in potholes, dips and ruts."

He doesn't just want to suddenly withdraw us from Iraq. He wants to makesure Iraq can be a stable country, create a political settlement between people there (this would stop sunnies and shiites from fighting), and stop a civil war. This is basically much of the reason I support Barack Obama. He actually has a real plan.

Reason why I'm asking this is I had someone tell me that they were concerned by some of my comments about Iraq, the NRA, and the US education policies. My comments about Iraq, were that we created most of the problems there today. Comments concerning the NRA, well I'm a member. In regards to education, I said that we should spend more to help those that cannot afford to go for higher learning.

But, I was called a 'flaming' Liberal, because of these viewpoints. I view myself as more 'middle of the road' than anything else.

So, please explain things to me!

The trash begins at the border and extends 30 miles inland, and the wildlife has seen a reduction in Mountain Lions and Elk. A good Border policy would improve the much vaunted Carbon Footprint of the Border Areas.

The Iranians not only illegally kidnapped the British sailors and Marines but then proceeded to parade the men ( blindfolded ) on state television. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!


Will the British bend over and take it in the rear by the Iranians while shuttering in fear? Or will they fight for their service men?

What if the Iranians cut the heads off the men and video tape it and post it all over the Internet and the television ( God forbid)? Will the British fight then?

What should we all do?

The Oklahoma City Bombing


On April 19th 1995 , a bomb ripped threw the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City , killing 168 men , women and children .

The bomb was blamed on the " people's militias " , Timothy McViegh and Terry Nichols , but the question is did they have a hand in it ? Or was it problem , reaction , solution ? I guess you will have to decide .

First let me explain what exactly is problem , reaction , solution . Problem , reaction , solution is manipulation to the highest degree , for example , say a politician wants to have more cameras in the neighborhood and a more authoritarian police force , well he can't just go out and say there will be more cameras in the neighborhood and a tougher police force , because people would rebel and his plan would have no chance at succeeding . He wants people to demand these things . So you have more high profile crime , you have more news reports all over the area keeping people in fear for their lives . Achieve that and people will demand those cameras and the authoritarian police force . It's as simple as that , you just have to see it before it happens .

Let's move on to the Oklahoma City bombing . In the weeks and months leading up to the Oklahoma City bombing , the American media was constantly talking about how the government was going after these so called militias . The bomb hit and it was blamed on not just a few people but { you guessed it } the whole of the militia movement . What was the governments response ? To use the bomb as an excuse to increase the powers of the F.B.I. to infiltrate and attack these groups and as Bill Clinton put it " to ease restrictions on the involvement of the military in domestic law enforcement " . The goal is to eventually use the military in the streets of America , in place of the police .

The F.B.I. , Bill Clinton and Janet Reno , claim that one explosion destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building , and that the bomb was made by former U.S. soldier Timothy McViegh and Terry Nichols from fertilizer and fuel oil . Ted Gunderson a man with 28 years experience with the F.B.I. believes the official explanation to be both " ridiculous and impossible " . Gunderson and others within the F.B.I. believe that the blast was actually caused by a electro hydrodynamic gaseous fuel device , known as a barometric bomb . To know how to make this bomb you would need clearance at the highest levels of the United States Government and Military combined . The barometric bomb has Q clearance which puts it on a level with security and secrecy with nuclear weapons components . If Gunderson is correct someone like McViegh { who was just a regular foot solider } and the others charged with him , could not possibly have such knowledge or resources , the idea would be ludicrous .

According to Gunderson the bomb was exactly in line with what the barometric bomb would do . It works like this - there is first a explosion and this releases a lethal cloud of chemicals , ammonium nitrate and aluminum silicate . The cloud is energized and there is a second blast seconds later using another explosive called PDTN , which creates an explosion of greater magnitude then TNT . To confirm that this bomb was used and not the fuel oil bomb , there would have to be traces all over the debris and on someone's clothes ........

At a court hearing in El Reno , Oklahoma on April 28th 1995 , the F.B.I. Special Agent , John Hersley , said a shirt McViegh was wearing , when arrested , contained traces of the explosive { wait for it } - PDTN . The Oklahoma Geological Survey at the University of Oklahoma , revealed that there had been two explosions , ten seconds apart . The first explosion went off at 9:02 am and 13 seconds and the second at 9:02 am and 23 seconds . This could not happen in anyway with a fertilizer bomb, for which there is no evidence anyway . Other bomb experts say the official explanation is ridiculous as well . Debris from the Murrah building , was pilled up against the general records office across the street on the other side of the truck , which supposedly exploded with the fuel fertilizer bomb . The only way this could have happened is if there was a bomb inside the building not outside , as the government claimed . The government has consistently increased the size of the fertilizer bomb it claims was built by McViegh , because the size of the bomb and the devastation don't match up . It was first announced that the bomb weighed 1,000pounds ,but this has increased to reach 4,800 pounds and so the vehicle used to carry it , changed quite a bit . The fertilizer bomb would have scattered fertilizer all over the sight , but reports from the day the bomb went off , report " not one ounce of fertilizer was found " . Also Michael J. Riconosciuto revealed to Spotlight , that records and components were stolen in two raids on a well guarded warehouse in Aberdeen , Washington State in 1988 . " On the first occasion the people involved were arrested and let go and on the second occasion the police watched the robbers carry out the raid and yet did nothing " .

So many question's , so little answers . I wonder when this will all be settled and the truth finally comes out . Wait , I forgot , Timothy McViegh is dead and the American people don't care .

I would really like to know if people think this is an appropriate way for a President of the United States of America to behave?

How did it make you feel to witness this kind of behavior from a man who makes the calls that affect the lives of millions and millions of Americans and our troops abroad?
