TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president said on Sunday the Lebanese and the Palestinians had pressed a "countdown button" to bring an end to Israel.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who triggered outrage in the West two years ago when he said Israel should be "wiped off the map", has often referred to the destruction of the Jewish state but says Iran is not a threat.

"With God's help, the countdown button for the destruction of the Zionist regime has been pushed by the hands of the children of Lebanon and Palestine," Ahmadinejad said in a speech.

Is this guy really a puppet of the CIA and working for big oil that in turn gives money to republicans and president bush?

Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an ORDER by the House Appropriations Committee chairman (Obey-D, WI) to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them.

Has this guy been studying the PNAC agenda a little too closely?

Doesn't this type of "wishful thinking" qualify someone as mentally unstable?

I'll bet he watches "24" . . . RELIGIOUSLY.

This country is going straight down the tubes if people like this get any more of a foothold in the government.

Can't the oil companies do away with it and just refine the regular and premium. This could possibly boost supplies of the gasoline that people actually use, and cut down on their costs at the same time.

If they count both, then what will the impact of the immigration bill be if it passes?

(I suppose congressional apportionments do count people who can't vote - they count minors, for one.)

Yes, I'm a conservative, and this is tongue-in-cheek.

But think about it. The guy (Hockney) was a real jerk, but he DID try to make sure Rose got into a lifeboat, even before he did! All Jack got her was a lousy door to float on. And he even went after her into the sinking ship - firing a gun, yes, but also to get her and bring her to safety. He probably wasn't even aiming at her! And he didn't even realize she had the diamond until after she got away.

And why is Rose so admirable? She may not have had any part in insurance fraud (claiming the necklace was lost) but she didn't give it back to her fiance either! And she was an ILLEGAL ALIEN! She gave a false name to get in the country. And to top it all off, she must have pawned the diamond at some point, to get her start in life. You don't see her dropping it into the water in 1912 now, do you? No, THAT part of her old life she kept!

So she owes all her happiness to her RICH fiance, at least as much as to Jack! :)

I'm watching the Today show this morning showing footage of Fidel Castro doing better and then showing Condoleeza stating that the Cuban people have the right to freedom and to a country of democracy (paraphrased). While I may personally agree with her statements, what role should the US play in this. It seems that the US always wants to ensure other countries govern as the US deems fit.

In all honesty, while the US claims to be a democracy, it really isn't, but yet and still we want to press our government on every country and state what is "best for the people". While I know there is a certain necessity to do this to ensure the safety of our country, we go overboard in my opinion.

Like my mama used to say, don't try to clean anyone else's kitchen until you know yours is clean.

I argue absolutely not.

Machinery easily replaces low-skill labour- seen many times in Japan with rice & tea harvesting. Japan has negligible immigration for low-skill employees- the world's no. 2 economy.

Machinery not only works out to be more efficient and cost-effective in the long-term- the obstacle is the initial capital investment which many employers choose not to make as cheap, disposable labour is more easily attainable at hand.

If employers were to invest in machinery- it would create long-term, sustainable employment and build the manufacturing sector- not to mention the financial sector.

Native populations are not lazy- it is a myth. Simple truth is natives won't work for a crap wage and no rights.
Immigrants are attractive as they are cheap, expendable & are hidden from laws and taxation.

Higher wages= people spending= more robust & sustainable consumer sector= more demand= more manufacturing= more revenue for government= more jobs for all.

Immigrants= unnecessary

"After promising unprecedented openness regarding Congress' pork barrel practices, House Democrats are moving in the opposite direction as they draw up spending bills for the upcoming budget year.
Democrats are sidestepping rules approved their first day in power in January to clearly identify "earmarks"—lawmakers' requests for specific projects and contracts for their states—in documents that accompany spending bills.
Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them."
