Politics - 3 August 2007

Earlier this week Obama makes the statement that if Pakistan doesn't do something to control the taliban within its borders, if he were president, the U.S. would invade Pakistan (a country with nucleur weapons) and take care of the problem. Yesterday he announces that if he were president he would not use nucleur weapons under any circumstances.
What is this man thinking (or is he thinking)?

And don't think that she will abolish it. The woman is POWER HUNGRY! She and her husband were notorious for using the IRS to harass detractors. They created a massive civil spying system, including Project Carnivore, the Clipper Chip (stopped when a hacker cracked it), physical mail snooping, diverting the CIA to corporate espionage...

Didn't you ever consider if the shoe were on the other foot?

They lied to Congress about Iraq (and, for those who say "no, they didn't," please point me to where those WMD's are).

They've broken the fourth amendment with their warrantless wiretappings- "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

They've broken the eighth amendment with their endorsement of torture- "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."

Among other crimes. So, where's the outrage and the actions by Congress? If nothing is done, then this sets a dangersous precedent. One which, sooner or later, another President will use to do whatever they want to do also.
