IT CAN CONTROLL YOU TO KILL WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE UNTIL AFTER THE FACT. THIS TECHNOLOGY LINKS THE BRAINS OF PEOPLE VIA IMPLANT MICROCHIPPED TO SATELLITES CONTROLLED BY GROUND BASED SUPERCOMPUTERS.

I do not and never did support this bogus "war" in Iraq, but to display such disrespect to a man in uniform is absolutely reprehensible, to me.

And, for what it's worth, I felt similarly turned off when Fred Thompson's handlers threw out a lady who was asking about Thompson's connections to NAU.

What do you think? Do you think it's acceptable to demonstrate the strength of a democracy by censoring fellow Americans?

So you mislead everyone by changing the definitions. Change the key definitions around in time for the big september report. Now they will look like all the lights are on. Change how you count the bodies and voila lower body counts.

No dumb answers! I understand why a Jewish state was created, but am curious as to details and how the palestinean population was handled.

Pamela Lomis and her two children feel abandoned. Lomis lives in a FEMA trailer in the Sugar Hill trailer park in the midst of cane fields near Convent, La., about midway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.

It's 20 miles from the nearest grocery store. A single bus leaves each morning at 9 a.m. and returns at 4 p.m., Lomis' life line to a world that seems distant.

"We just sit around here with life slipping by," Lomis said. "We're just on hold. Just waiting for something that never comes," she said.

Or is it for real?

Unlike many, I pay little attention to Fox News, to talk radio, and don't hang around on right wing web sites. I think for myself.

I keep reading that when we conservatives use the word socialism, it's 'fear mongering. Am I missing something? I spend a lot of time on this forum and continually read about the need for larger government, more government control, spreading the wealth, more 'social' programs, etc. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that we eat the wrong foods and need government control over that. Others have suggested banning cigarette smoking, many have suggested banning weapons. This all comes from the left wingers.

How is this NOT socialism? How is calling it what is truly is being construed as 'fear mongering'?

I'd appreciate some honest responses and no repetitious Bush bashing. I'm not a Bush person in many ways because he's far from being conservative. So kindly don't waste my time. Thanks.

Amid a growing barrage of front-page headlines, U.S. embassy officials "strongly suggested" President Bush's twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara Bush, cut short their trip to Buenos Aires because of security issues, U.S. diplomatic and security sources tell ABC News.

Stories of the twins' visit took on wild proportions in the Argentinean press. One tabloid headline had the young women running nude in the hallway of their hotel, a report the hotel staff denied to ABC News.

According to sources, the U.S. embassy encouraged the two girls to cut their stay short because the added attention was making their security very difficult. But to the dismay and anger of some U.S. embassy and security staff, the girls stayed on.

Thursday night, an ABC News producer was able to walk into their hotel unchecked and engage Barbara Bush in conversation while she checked her e-mail on a computer in the lobby. Jenna sat talking with friends on a sofa nearby. No Secret Service agents were anywhere to be seen in the lobby, according to ABC News' Joe Goldman.

.
everywhere I look I keep seeing more and more articles about Iran wanting to 'push Israel into the sea,' or before that other articles that basically told us that Iran wanted Israel to disappear from the face of the earth!
Well first, Jewish people are situate all over the world! Most of us here in the United States don't even know who is Jewish and who is not. Nobody is going to rid Israel of its people and no one is going to rid the world of Jewish people.
And that includes Iran.
And I am beginning to doubt that Iran made such threats in the first place.
I don't know who is stoking the fires, but the flame is about to dissipate.

Let's say that President Bush simply but honestly for once said that it is necessary for the U.S. to have control of the oil of the Iraq or any other country for that matter.

Would that be OK with you?

McCain's campaign seems almost hopeless at this point. He doesn't have a clear position on anything. Staffers have left him. And he's short on cash.

Does he still have a chance? What should he do?

One of the main problems that Bush/US military are having in Iraq is they don't have nearly enough US troops to win. They've got enough for a good stalemate but they need about 300,000 extra troops to actually win.

Since most of the US military is made up of poor Americans, they don't need to be drafted, but I know their are plenty of wealthier patriotic American dying to get the chance to serve their country. Or might wealthier Americans think that winning the war on terror isn't worth risking their lives?

I keep seeing lots of posts from people (granted, many of whom are trolls) that keep asking questions I'd like to answer. Such as questions about why people are presenting a particular argument, or how people can justify a particular position.

But I'm blocked from doing so -- and probably so are lots of other people. Which means the questions are being asked, but nobody is allowed to answer who might disagree with the poster.

Doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of Yahoo! Answers, which is to get and share information? Isn't it counter-productive to allow people to post questions, but only allow the people who agree with them to answer?

FISA is based upon a Supreme Court ruling in 1972.

In March 2006 a hearing was held that was called "Wartime Executive Powers and the FISA Court"

The most famous FISA Judge Allan Kornblum (also a constitutional expert) said: " The Supreme Court said that the Fourth Amendment was highly flexible, and that the standard for criminal, what they call ordinary crimes, what I would call traditional law enforcement, need not be the same as that for foreign intelligence collection, and that different standards for different Government purposes are compatible with the Fourth Amendment."

"As you know, in Article I, section 8, Congress has enumerated powers as well as the power to legislate all enactments necessary and proper to their specific authorities, and I believe that is what the President has, similar authority to take executive action necessary and proper to carry out his enumerated responsibilities of which today we are only talking about surveillance of Americans."
