Israel, offering Golan, awaits Syria proposals Fri Jun 8,07
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel has told Syria it is willing to trade land for peace and is waiting to hear whether President Bashar al-Assad would cut ties with Iran and hostile guerrilla groups in return, Israeli officials said on Friday.
One said Syrian officials had so far indicated a willingness to conduct discreet contacts that might lead to a resumption of formal peace talks after a seven-year hiatus..Two days after Olmert confirmed Israel had sent conciliatory messages to Damascus, Israeli media widely reported a leak to a newspaper that quoted a senior diplomat saying Syria had been reminded that Israel was ready to discuss returning the Golan Heights, captured 40 years ago this week, if peace talks resume.

Did not the supposed conservative republicans once lambast the sociolist democrats for a "nation building" mentality, you know, the "lets help($$$$$$) out the poor countries so we can just all get along" mentality? Well, IF Iraq is'nt coming at us at a pretty penny it seems GWB & THE administration wanna up the antie! Appearently, after the "pope" put George on the skillet to soften him up recently while "visiting" in Rome, president Bush promised the pope an "easy" 30 billion to Africa for combating HIV/AIDS. Problem is WE THE TAXPAYERS WILL BE FOOTING THE BILL!!! Who's playing nation builder now??? I mean the UN has enough SCANDALS going on now. Outta that 30 billion the HIV/AIDs project would be lucky to get a song ana dance out of it, as the rest would go into the international elitist pockets!!! Vote for Ron Paul & support your Libertarian party to stop the bilking! Global warming tax fron the demo UN magicians, nation building tax from the repubie UN magicians. Wake up America!

1. She has the money
2. She has the backing of many DNC party faithful
3. She has significant grassroots support.

I mean, a lot of people said Bush wouldn't win in 2000, but he somehow did. People said Hillary wouldn't win in the Senate in 2000, but she did.

You have in every poll saying at least 45% would vote for her now.

Okay, some argue..well, the GOP will bring up alot of baggage on Hillary that people won't want to vote for her.

Do you think she's not capable of bringing up baggage on Guliani (cross dressing pics), or McCain?

The point is, those who think she won't win are severely underestimating her.

She will win, whether you or I think she should or not.

Really..all she has to do is ask during the Presidential debates "Are you better off than you were 8 years ago?"

All the little weasel had to do was sit down with her and B.S. her a little about the loss of her son. But the coward chose to take the same path he took during the Viet Nam war and the same path he took when the Air Gaurd started drug testing....... run and hide.

you go to a store to buy something cheaper than another store.

I saw a question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070609083709AAtlpfg&r=w#RJIsCDe4AjZb6f.4A3N51E70hqwWB0TXgNl2CN7jz.XjbzyBKNdz

A few people blamed greedy companies for trying to save money. After all, if they are greedy than so are people who go to Wal Mart to save money on items they need.

Really, what is the difference? The money that businesses want to save belongs to them. Why is it any different than us?

Are we ready to cede control of wealth to the government in the USA?
People complain of powerful business cartels controlling the government. Some people feel limits should be put on how rich businesses and other people are allowed to become. These people feel the government, not the people, should control the wealth of the country for the common good.
How difficult is it, tho, to stop the practices of a corrupt business cartel as opposed to a corrupt, all powerful government?
The American Revolution was fought to take control of the wealth away from an all powerful government and place it in the hands of the people. Do we want to cede this power back to the government under the guise of the common good? Do we want to limit the economic grow of the country by limited rewards to achievers?

Lets face it...both Bush and Johnson increased the size of government massively (both expanded Medicare for example),

Both got the US stuck in foriegn wars.

Both didn't listen to what the majority of the American people wanted.

Then again, Johnson never had an approval rating near 30%, and Johnson redeemed himself on civil rights issues.

Maybe history is repeating itself after 40 years?

(BTW, my belief is Hillary Clinton will win in 2008, and will be similiar to Nixon in a number of ways.)

At approximately 12:20 am on Wednesday, 6 June 2007, a large Israeli military force, comprising at least 50 soldiers, came to the house of Yehia al-Jabari. Yehia, who was 72-years-old, lived with his family in a two-storey house in the B’er Haram area of Hebron city. Upon opening the front door of the house to the soldiers, Rajih al-Jabari, the 26-year-old son of Yehia, was dragged outside. Without any warning or justification, the Israeli soldiers began to beat Rajih, violently hitting his head against the wall of the house. At this point, Yehia, who had only moments earlier returned home from visiting a relative, came outside with his wife Fatima to see what was happening. Seeing the soldiers attacking his son, Yehia, who was unarmed, attempted to intervene and protect his son. While doing so, he was shot once in the forehead by an Israeli soldier; the bullet exiting the rear of his head. He then fell to the ground, where he lay motionless, presumably having been killed instantly. Immediately afterward, his wife, who was also unarmed, began screaming and attempted to reach Yehia’s body. An Israeli soldier, however, opened fire on her, hitting her six times. Fatima, who was hit in numerous parts of her body, including the head and chest, fell to the ground.

At this time, two of Yehia’s sons, 24-year-old Kamil and 36-year-old Radi, exited the front door of the house. There, they found their parents lying in pools of blood on the ground, surrounded by a large number of Israeli soldiers. In attempting to move their father’s corpse from the front steps, where it was lying, the two brothers were screamed at by an Israeli soldier who ordered them to stop. Radi ignored the soldier, pushing him away. In response, however, the soldier opened fire on the brothers, hitting Kamil in the foot. After Kamil had fallen to the ground, Radi knelt beside his father’s body and began to cry. The soldiers, however, began to beat him in an attempt to move him away.

From being the force behind Scooter Libby's involvement in the PLAME outing to criminal involvement in the politicizing of the Justice department, I think little by little the evidence is accumulating that would justify his removal from office.
Once that happens Bush would be truely irrelevant. The GOP should never have lost the gavel during the Mid Term elections of '06. It is costing them dearly. Cheney has to be the one directing the course of the Bush Administration. We know the " decider " can't manage this on his own. He lacks the mental and intellectual capacity.

And I know you may think that Im bashing him but we have been studying all the canidate in 2000,2004,and for 2008 ( since we could vote) and Im black and my girl is white and I have never seen her get so emotional over a canidate until Obama.. It was just the other night when he was adressing the ministers about the " silent riots" . She was a little wet eyed and I asked her what was it that was making her cry and she said, not since Martin Luther King Jr and JFK has I seen anyone care about the WHOLE nation (poverty, rich,majority, minority, old and young) and it would be a shame if he was not elected. Say what you want to say about experience or race --- all that aside --- Do you think Obama can help unite a nation as one after years and years of seperation?Or do you still think he's just some regular politician? Cause Im watching all these canidates bekering left and right about 9/11 and Iraq and whose fault it is that I really didnt think about the wars we face at home.

Instead of complaining about it, let's discuss why it happened and what we can do about it, if anything. I really began noticing it when Chrysler went under back in the 70's because of poor engineering, poor planning and of course unions that were breaking them. The K-Car came into being when our government helped them out financially. Remember that? Being a true American, I purchased one of those vehicles only to discover that my engine wasn't even made here in the U.S. Why is that? What are the opinions of others?
