While it is true that we have to wait to see if the reduction in violence is sustained after we start withdrawing troops, does the fact that many liberals deny ANY improvements have been made lead to a loss of their credibility?

"The refusal of the antiwar movement--or some sections of it--to recognize these developments isn't helping its credibility."

I cannot wait to see how many non-answers I get (ie Bush lost credibility….no WMDs….etc)

My grandson has just been offered a package of three school trips - roman ruins - theatre - mosque. Now while I can understand the first two, I cant understand why on earth they would include the third! Would they take Moslems to a Church? I somehow don't think so. I feel incensed by this and wonder what else they are shoving down our kids throats while at school!.

when you have gotten your way, income above $250k is taxed at 70-80%, and the rich CONTINUE to distance themselves from the poor, simply because they continue to do the things that make them rich, while the poor continue to do things that make them poor?

Will you continue your class warfare quest, screeching from every forum that income inequality is out of control, and that the rich are not paying "their fair share" of taxes?

According to this report, he admitted that he deliberately led the world to believe he had WMD and was preparing to build a nuclear device. Are those of you who claim that Bush lied ready to admit he did not lie but was mislead?

First go to Afganistan to capture UBL, who isn't there.
Next go to Iraq to find WMD's which aren't there.
Next to Iran because of a nuclear weapons industry that doesn't exist.

Like all good magicians, keep the peoples attention misdirected so they don't pay attention to what you don't want them to see.

Instead bush honoured 4 waco texas soldiers, and gave rhetoric about honouring the soldiers.

Is this the final straw or will bush supporters still try to argue for him?

OR was it that bush -- seeing how he never erved honourably in vietnam and isnt a combat war veteran is actually alittle disgraced by attending such ceremonies, because it shows he couldnt stomach what he makes our soldiers do
AND
people will only be reminded how he failed to show patriotism during vietnam when it was his time to show his love for this country.

this may sound wierd, but wouldnt you like to see a "politician" running for president, who WASNT a politician (and I know that would technically blah blah blah, dont take it so seriously)
Cuz, who trusts politicians anymore?? I dont!
I dont want someone who stands up for one beleive and then folds just because that beleif may be less popular in the polls or the got paid off by some big company, running the most powerful country on Earth!
I want someone who sticks with there beleifs, even if they arent popular, who has an open mind and has compassion towards ALL the people of all countries (and religions) no matter what!
I want someone who is honest and trustworthy & and if they do something bad or make a bad decision or have something that they supported but went wrong, to admit it, fess up and stop trying to make redicules excuses!!! or just not wanting to be wrong so they keep standing by something that IS wrong and taking people lives!!

how did the BBC report the 3rd world trade center building fell.

no let me rephrase that:

how did the BBC report the 3rd world trade center fell....20 minutes before it actually did???

was it just the fac that the other 2 WTC buildings were struck by planes, and this one wasn't that just made a good guess?

is that what it was? did the BBC just make a "good guess" based on the fact that 2 buildings were stuck by planes, that any good guesser would figure a 3rd building to magically fall? and they guessed it 20 minutes before it actually did?

amazing.

i wish teh republican bush supporters would explain time travel by the BBC to us all. And for that matter how 3 buldings fell with the same charges imploding al 3 bulidings, yet only 2 were struck by planes.

hmm...they all had charges that were the same. 2 planes flew. and a report 20 minutes prior to the actuall felling of the building.

Magic?

I was wondering if anyone knew the policies regarding ageing population in a country that includes
-increasing fertility
-encouraging migration
-increasing retirement age etc
Basically policies trying to deal with issues associated with an ageing population too, such as paying for retirees and the like.
If you know of any countries or sites that will encompass all these three points they're targeting pls Link :)
Two would be awesome

(I keep looking, cept i cannot find one gov that tries to do all that - eg one might only try increase fertility, while others are addressing the economic stresses more)
