It just happened to be found. Where? Al qaeda's local offices? That's ridiculous, but every flag waving crazy out there believes it, and the scary part is, flag waving crazies have nothing to do, so they always vote. And why would Al qaeda have forms for their recruits? Do they need your resume?

As usual, the U.S. lamestream media hasn't reported the good news from Tora Bora. 50 terrorists waxed:

Obviously even on a "good day" like today it's really a bad day, according to libs. We killed 50 and created, oh, let's say 75 new terrorists, so we end the day 25 in the hole, right?
Anyone care to explain how this works, exactly?

Or is this some magical property of terrorists only in Iraq? Is it only terrorists in Iraq who are possessed of this Hydra-like cut-one-head-off and-two-grow-back in it's place property?

China is an important economic player; and contrary to what you may have heard, China is not in the pro-American camp. It is a rival power that is currently using trade as a strategic steppingstone. Notion’s of China’s self interest being tied to China-U.S. trade are deceptive. China’s political leaders want their country to become the world’s leading power. They resent American military dominance and seek to undermine America’s global position, using economic, diplomatic as well as military means. China’s trade with America is a tool in a larger strategy that aims at America’s downfall. Failing to realize this, American policy toward China has never been realistic.

David S. Broder: Shaking up presidential race
Sacramento Bee, Opinion
David S. Broder
When Fred Thompson makes his long-delayed entrance into the Republican presidential race, he will not tiptoe quietly.
Instead, he will try to shake up the establishment candidates of both parties by depicting a nation in peril from fiscal and security threats -- and prescribing tough cures he says others shrink from offering.
In a two-hour conversation over coffee at a restaurant near his Virginia headquarters, the former senator from Tennessee said that when he joins the battle next month, he "will take some risks that others are not willing to take, in terms of forcing a dialogue on our entitlement situation, our military situation and what it's going to cost" to assure the nation's future.
After spending most of the last few years on TV's "Law and Order," and starting a new family with two children under 4, the 65-year-old lawyer says he finds himself motivated for the first time to seek the White House.
"There's no reason for me to run just to be president," he said.
"I don't desire the emoluments of the office. I don't want to live a lie and clever my way to the nomination or election. But if you can put your ideas out there -- different, more far-reaching ideas -- that is worth doing." Thompson, like many of the others running, has caught a strong whiff of the public disillusionment with both parties in Washington -- and the partisanship that has infected Congress, helping to speed his own departure from the Senate.
But he says he thinks that the public is looking for a different kind of leadership. "I think a president could go to the American people and say, 'Here's what we need to be doing. and I'm willing to go half-way.' Now you have to make them (the opposition) go half-way." The approach Thompson says he's contemplating is one that will step on many sensitive political toes. When he says "we're getting a free ride" fighting a necessary war in Iraq with an undersized military establishment, "wearing out our people and equipment," it sounds like a criticism of the president and the Pentagon.
When he says he would have opposed adding the prescription drug benefit to Medicare, "a $17 trillion add-on to a program that's going bankrupt," he is fighting the bipartisan judgment of the last Congress.
When he says the FBI is perhaps incapable of morphing itself into the smart domestic security agency the country needs, he is attacking another sacred cow.
Thompson repeatedly cites two texts as fueling his concern about the country's future. One is "Government at the Brink," a two-volume report he issued as chairman of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee at the start of the Bush administration in 2001 and handed to the new president's budget director as a checklist of urgent management problems in Washington.
The difficulties outlined in federal procurement, personnel, finances and information technology remain today, Thompson said, and increasingly "threaten national security." His second sourcebook contains the scary reports from Comptroller General David Walker, the head of the Governmental Accountability Office, on the long-term fiscal crisis spawned by the aging of the American population and the runaway costs of health care. Walker labels the current patterns of federal spending "unsustainable," and warns that unless action is taken soon to improve both sides of the government's fiscal ledger -- spending and revenues -- the next generation will suffer.
"Nobody in Congress or on either side in the presidential race wants to deal with it," Thompson said. "So we just rock along and try to maintain the status quo. Republicans say keep the tax cuts; Democrats say keep the entitlements. And we become a less unified country in the process, with a tax code that has become an unholy mess, and all we do is tinker around the edges." Thompson readily concedes that he does not know "where all those chips are going to fall" when he starts challenging members of various interest groups to look beyond their individual agendas and weigh the sacrifices that could assure a better future for their children.
But these issues -- national security and the fiscal crisis of an aging society with runaway heath care costs -- "are worth a portion of a man's life. If I can't get elected talking that way, I probably don't deserve to be elected."
Thompson says "I feel free to do it" his own way, and that freedom may just be enough to shake up the presidential race.

An hour or so ago, someone had asked a few questions about Fred Thompson and I was stunned to read a few responses stating that Fred had announced that he’s not running. I receive mail from “Friends of Fred” on a regular basis and thought I’d share the latest tidbit.

I think he’ll be a strong candidate who will give everyone a run for their money and would welcome your opinions. Do you think that he’ll beat Rudy in the primary and what are his chances for becoming our next President?

Here's the link to one of the most Liberal News Outlets in the country that states that Valerie Plame was "outed" by Armitage and her husband was a liar and a fraud (just not in so many words).

Will those who believe otherwise be swayed by a media outlet of their own mentallity or be to scared to admit the truth?"

The word is always used with such disdain - is it a spiteful way of saying Conservative? Or is it some branch of Conservativism that has been singled out and defined by Liberals.

Why don't the democrats just go to jails, slums, unemployment lines, and crack houses and just give them their money directly. Those of us who don't want to pay people to take drugs and not work won't have to. And those who do will be able to cut out a middle man. Isn't the US about choice?

Universal Healthcare is on the agenda for this next election. However for several years republican and democrats have been trying to come up with a way to pay for healthcare.

At one point it was proposed that all health insurance costs could be written off on your income tax. Thus making it a tax deduction. Hillary Clinton, Obama, and a majority of democrats are against this method?

However they are all for tax deductions for buying a hybrid car. Isn't this a better alternative than trying to implement a system that is not the best method for healthcare?

A Liberal asked this question, but I don't think he will like the truth, or the answer....(I am not mentioning names, lol.)

Will Republicans be apologizing for Jose Padilla for several decades to come?
The illegal imprisonment, torture, and forced mental breakdown of this US citizen - who is, of course, entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence - ranks up there with the mass internment of Japanese-Americans as an inexplicable violation of our most basic civil rights.

Historians will be shaking their heads. Future Presidents will apologize, and people will say "if only we could have stopped it". "If only we had known". We DO know and we CAN stop it.
But for some reason we choose not to.
chance_m_20, welcome to America. In this country, we don't find people innocent. You ARE innocent, until we find you guilty!

My answer...





No. There is no reason to.

3 days later..... PADILLA FOUND GUILTY OF FEDERAL TERRORISM SUPPORT CHARGES!

Will the Liberals appoligize to Republicans for being s.t.u.p.i.d?
