He didn't see any of Frenchman in France fighting for their freedom.

And, the French were betraying the Americans by telling the Germans where Americans were during the next month after Americans landed in Normandy.

Anyone surprised? What does this say about the French?

I have asked a couple of questions about the Liberal Labor debate, obviously there are some very strong opinions and many in favour of Labor but so far not one answer has any substance. I have had lots of comments like, Howard is a liar, Howard caused interest rate rises, Howard doesn't care about workers Rudd will look after the workers, blah blah blah, Just exactly what policy says that? I am very open minded so can someone tell me exactly how they would benefit with Labor compared to Liberal and what particular Labor policy they are referring to. Please no answers like, "Labor look after workers" and that sort of crap. If you really know you will be better off with Labor then tell me what policy, I would like to read it I am genuinely interested but please dont just quote "Changing the IR laws" that will not automatically make you better off

Many Bush haters make this claim, but fail to provide any credible evidence to support it.

Shouldn't our "generational mission" be something along the lines of stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS or hunger throughout the world? Instead, Algore is raking in HUGE profits from carbon credits..Wal Mart the latest idiots to buy into this.

Algore writes that we have a generational mission to save our planet. Yet in Bjorn Lomborg's new book "Cool it" the skeptical enviromentalist's guide to global warming,Lomborg systematically dismantles Gore’s argument that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the biggest threat facing mankind, and that humanity must focus all our attention on fighting it.
Let’s begin with Gore’s “generational mission.” Why is it that virtually none of the thousands of generations of humans that have come and gone have had a “mission?” Well, it’s because we’re one of the first generations that hasn’t had to worry about our day-to-day survival. From the dawn of time right up into the 20th century, many if not most people lived in fear of starvation.

Do you think we should be willing to give up some of our privacy in order for the government to better protect us from things like Sept 11 happening again?

i think roosevelt gave us the limit on a presidency. but than wars didn't last that long then and i see no one more capable of the job at hand than our current commander in chief being that he has laid down the political gain game and has picked up the gun that must be fired and continues to keep on firing it until the job is done. somebody throw him a magazine and let the bullets continue to rain down on evil like snow on the ground on a beautiful christmas mornin!

I have my own thoughts, but I am more interested in what others think.

Some things to consider:
1. many leaders come from political families
2. do the poor and wealth have the same opportunity to
earn a doctorate degree?
3. is a system in place to assist those who can not finance their own post graduate ambitions?

unpopular with the american people I mean.
Like his war in Iraq, his wanting to give amnesty and guest worker status and not securing the border, his wanting to kill social security..etc....it seems on all these big Bush positions he went out and tried to convince the american people that they were wrong and that he was right...and the american people said to him "NO SALE".

I've just finished a book written my macroeconomist Jeffery Sachs, entitled: The End of Poverty. He describes in detail a plan to end poverty by 2025. Although his reasoning is possible, it fails to acount for human greed, corruption, scocial class barriers, etc. Its kinda scary that Sachs is an internationally renowed economist that is leading this country's policy concerning foreign economic development. Anyways, it would be nice to belief that someday we could achieve the end of poverty. Can we? Definetly not 2025, but what about 3025?

Political corruption is the root cause for corruptions in all categories,whether in Government or ptrivate. No honest person can enter politics. See the horse trading in politics. Kidnapping all MLAs and keep them in unknown places and produce them before the Governor.Oh God, what is the use of praying you, if you don't punish corrupt fellows, instantly. There is no use telling or begging you, so far. You are continuosly proving your NON EXISTANCE. Pity you are still worshipped

The NIE coordinates the judgments of 16 intelligence agencies on a specific country or issue.

There is a split in the intelligence community on how much of a threat the Iranian nuclear programme poses, according to the intelligence official’s account. Some analysts who are less independent are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the alarmist view coming from Cheney’s office, but others have rejected that view.

The draft NIE first completed a year ago, which had included the dissenting views, was not acceptable to the White House, according to the former intelligence officer. “They refused to come out with a version that had dissenting views in it,” he says.

As recently as early October, the official involved in the process was said to be unclear about whether an NIE would be circulated and, if so, what it would say.

I liked Duncan Hunter after the first time I read his views on issues, and throughout the debates. After watching him on Glenn Beck tonight, for an hour long Q&A chat; I'm liking him even more. He has a lot of common sense solutions to our problems. Too bad he doesn't have much of a shot at the nomination.

In the polls there is slightly more blacks voting for hillary than him some blacks feel that obama is neither black enough or dont do enough for blacks however by being vice or president he is setting history. Also had it been a hispanic running for president his own people would have been giving him more votes and same with asian. Do blacks need to be more supportive of their own?

I was thinking that in light of the current atmosphere in this country and the stench of fear which permeates, that this means there may be help for those hiding under their beds and saying .."please please Mr. x just protect my cowardly hide..I don't care how you do it..or what rules you break".

Do you agree or disagree with this suspicion?

It is believed by some that in an effort to incarcerate and/or kill people in the black communities, the CIA helped to make the drug "crack", a cheap base form of cocaine, readily available in such communities.

Ironicaly this plot is said to have been put into action right around the Regan War on Drugs years. Possibly to make it seem as though the then president was against drugs.

Crack has been blamed for the destruction of many poor black communities by causing hostility within the communities (turf wars), babies being born addicted to crack (crack babies), homelessness, and death.

What do you think... and why?

I'm an independent and always have been. I'm for less government all the way. My question is to you "republicans". The republican philosophy is less government but the republicans I know of seem to put the nation in debt? What gives? Ronald Reagan? Reagonomics? George W? We're in debt again? The biggest spenders in history? Can you please explain why these republicans are for less government yet ruin the economy? Let me remind you, we are very close to a recession again.
