if it is true that Bush removed Osama off the most-wanted list and he is now living in asylum in Pakistan? If Bush is OK with this, does this make you feel somewhat cheated by thinking Bush was so strong on prosecuting terrorists?

Bush is bringing real terrorists from secret CIA prisons in foreign countries to Guantanamo. All this movement plus talk of Osama. Do you think US has a bead on him finally?

With all the screw-ups lately - do you think we will be hunting down republicans like dogs before the end of this decade? Will a single idiot from that party get elected this fall? Are you angry and ready to vote? Do you know someone who died in Iraq?

In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely (oops), allowing the Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led to the round up of an Israeli spy ring.
Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax perpetrated by "anti-Semites". But as the public trial progressed, it was evident that Israel had indeed been behind the bombing. Eventually, Israeli's Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, although it appears that he was himself the victim of a frame-up by the real authors of the bombing project, code named "Operation Susannah."

Is it antisemitic of me to ask this?

I hear this over and over again, folks saying that we need to drop everything we're doing and catch the man: get out of Iraq to catch him. Get out of the Philippines to catch him. Get out of Malaysia and Indoniesia to catch him. Cease our operations worldwide to commit every ounce of our resources to catch the man.

Does it occur to anyone that al-Qaeda is much larger than some guy in a cave? Does anyone know how autonomous the whole operations is? Wouldn't it be a better use of resources to actually focus on the people carrying out operations, and the people financing the operations?

Yeah, it would be a nice morale boost to catch him, like landing on an aircraft carrier, but that won't do anything but incite the membership further, especially if he is killed and made a martyr. (He had a dozen bodyguards, all instructed to kill him if he is under threat of capture)

Due to pressure to keep extra funds from federal monies, police need to show a positive step in the drug enforcement.
There are instances of bad cops, and a cop can profile you,and search, just because he believes you have something.
If you have nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to get you in trouble, would it be ok to request a search of the officer before they go in your privacy?
If they found something, after they refused to let a search of their person, could you push entrapment?
Can you press for violation of civil rights?

Cyrus Cylinder
Cyrus the Great of Persia completed his conquest of the Chaldaean empire of Babylonia in 538 BC. He treated his new subjects with enlightened tolerance and respect. This is recorded in cuneiform script on a clay cylinder from that time that is known as the Cyrus Cylinder. The original Cylinder is housed at the British Museum. A replica has a place of honor at the United Nations Building in New York City.
" I am Cyrus, king of the world, great king, mighty king, king of Babylon, king of the land of Sumer and Akkad, king of the four quarters ..."
Sovereignty resided in the person of the king. Cyrus's subjects were very fortunate that he was such an enlightened and benevolent king. In many other times and places people were not so lucky.
"... whose rule Bel and Nabu cherish, whose kingship they desire for their hearts' pleasures."
Cyrus claimed to have the approval of the Babylonian gods Bel (also known as Marduk) and his son Nabu. He did not try and impose his Persian god(s) on the Babylonians.
"Marduk, the great God, caused the big-hearted inhabitants of Babylon to...me. I sought daily to worship him."
Cyrus, the recent conqueror of Babylonia, honored and worshipped Marduk who as city god of Babylon was king of the gods of Babylonia.
"I did not allow any to terrorize the land of Sumer and Akkad. I kept in view the needs of Babylon and all its sanctuaries to promote their well being. The citizens of Babylon... I lifted their unbecoming yoke. Their dilapidated dwellings I restored. I put an end to their misfortunes."
Cyrus did not allow his army to plunder and loot the newly conquered country. He promoted the welfare of his new Babylonian subjects and supported their religious temples (sanctuaries).
"From ... to the cities of Ashur and Susa, Agade, Eshnuna, the cities of Zamban, Meurnu, Der, as far as the region of the land of Gutium, the holy cities beyond the Tigris whose sanctuaries had been in ruins over a long period, the Gods whose abode is in the midst of them. I returned to the places and housed them in lasting abodes ... The Gods of Sumer and Akkad whom Nabonidus had, to the anger of the Lord of the Gods, brought into Babylon, I at the bidding of Marduk, the great Lord, made to dwell in peace in their habitations, delightful abodes."
During their conquests the Babylonians had destroyed the temples of people whom they defeated and had brought the idols (gods) to Babylon. Cyrus restored these ruined temples and returned the idols to them.
"I gathered together all their inhabitants and restored to them their dwellings."
The Babylonians had enslaved many conquered peoples. Cyrus freed them, sent them home and helped them to rebuild. In 537 BC he allowed more than 40,000 Jews to leave Babylon and return to Palestine.

The question might seem vague. I mean, if everyone who ever lived was still alive (if the earth could accomodate such a thing), and they were present at the age which they felt they were at their most potent, and everyone in the world had to choose someone from the annals of history (and present) to lead this fledgling new world, who do you thing would win, or rather, who do you think should win????

They will cite an example that is in the clear minority but act as if it is the norm. For instance. When you mention rape as a reason for legalized abortion as if all of the women at the clinic have been raped. Or, as one respondent to a question of mine said, the fact that Kerry is rich refutes my argument that Republicans tend to be more successful in business. So John Kerry being rich, one example, refutes an entire argument of which party tends to be more successful? Or one extreme excuse for an abortion, rape, is used by liberals to justify the majority, irresponsible sexual behavior. I will continue to generalize so long as you do the opposite of generalize, whatever the word for it is.

Do people forget, or do we just need something like that to happen to remind us who we really are and what this nation is suppose to stand for?

Hey Libtards, Enjoying your Kool-Aid?

You can't seem to see beyond your Communist ways. We cannot just leave Iraq, you gusy want to pull out like cowards but it is not possible. You Libtards accuse Bush of murder because of the Iraq war. Hey idiots, if you pull out, the Iraqis will surely massacre each other and then what, you'll blame Bush for that too. Why don't you find a solution to the problem that does not consist of killing Iraqis by deserting them, and stop blaming Bush for something that even Democrats agreed on doing which was the War in Iraq.

And more jibberish like THIS:
