Have you been paying attention, or are you satisfied ignoring the world?

Question

No, I am not Liberal or Conservative, but.... JESUS CHRIST...what the hell is the US gov. going thruogh?

Answer 1

Just the same old stuff.

Answer 2

Yes, I have been paying attention, for a very long time. But after the realization the other day, that the mass media's obviously paid government propaganda to spread the big lies regarding "The War on Terror," I can no longer allow myself to care as there is NO WAY to defeat the media. It is the MEDIA that is our real enemy. They keep the masses thinking there is an external threat when it's clear the threat is internal. BUT, the majority of otherwise good American's will never realize it because they are all plugged into the propaganda machine. And there is NO STOPPING it!

Do yourself a HUGE favor and try to enjoy what freedoms we have left for as long as they might last.

Answer 3

Exactly what the dems promised if they won in '06. Committee hearings after hearing, subpoenas probes, anything to stop the government from working.

Those that voted them in are getting just what they asked for, a do nothing congress.

Of course it has to work this way because the dems have no plan at all for this country.

Just like Pelosi's first 100 hours, didn't do a thing. A lot of hot air, total chaos!

Answer 4

US gov. is going through a hard time, with those lying back stabbing Democrats, that is what. Other than that , the only part of the world that matters to me is the United States of America.

Answer 5

You're asking the most deranged bunch of political junkies anywhere if we've been paying attention?

What our Government is going through is an attempt to place constitutional restraints on an administration that has ignored it unless it happens to suit its purposes.

Answer 6

Politics . anytime politics gets involved or politicians try to run things we are the ones who pay , politicians are lawyers , which means they are trained how to argue their side of things , and they are taught how to be "legal bullsh*tters" Any one who is a member of a Bar Association and elected as a politician is nothing more than a Legal Crook .

Answer 7

A struggle that we will not win easily, but can lose with no way out. I don't know about you, but i would rather keep trying then lose. Just keep your eyes on Europe, they are already losing.

Answer 8

What does Jesus have to do with it?

He just wants to spread the Love and Salvation.

Answer 9

Iran is in a heap of trouble.....

Iran is dealing with two issues. First, Iran has captured 15 British sailors. Second, Iran has refused to cooperate with the U.N. regarding cessation of uranium enrichment.

Military confrontation may be on the horizon.

In addition to the British naval vessels at the Diego Garcia atoll in the Indian ocean, there is a multi-national force in the Persian Gulf. The British HMS Cornwall aircraft carrier strike group, the American aircraft carrier strike group Bremerton-based aircraft carrier CVN-74 John C. Stennis, the American aircraft carrier strike group USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force are all in close appoximation in the Persian Gulf. The USS Nimitz may also be in the Persian Gulf as it was scheduled for its WESTPAC07 deployment to replace the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Iran has elicited "confessions" from the 15 British sailors they captured and may put them on trial for espionage. The penalty for espionage in Iran is death.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1563877.ece
“If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.” Espionage carries a death sentence.

Iran's detention of 15 Royal Navy personnel is "unjustified and wrong", Prime Minister Tony Blair has said. UK officials are waiting to be granted access to the HMS Cornwall staff, who were seized on Friday, and have not been told where the group are held.

"It simply is not true that they went into Iranian territorial waters and I hope the Iranian government understands how fundamental an issue this is for us," Mr Blair said.

"We have certainly sent the message back to them very clearly indeed. They should not be under any doubt at all about how seriously we regard this act, which is unjustified and wrong."

On March 23, 2007, U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.

The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.

Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Regarding enrichment of uranium, Iranian President Mahmaoud Ahmadinejad abruptly cancelled his appearance before the U.N. security council and in his stead, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Iran spoke. He indicated that Iran was willing to continue negotiations but without the precondition that uranium enrichment must be halted.

Mottaki said, "the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation. Choosing the path of confrontation ... will have its own consequences. "

The U.N. security council unanimously voted to expand sanctions on March 24, 2007.

The new resolution 1747 calls on Iran to comply fully with all previous UN resolutions and join negotiations to reach agreement so as to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program. Full transparency and cooperation with the IAEA are required. Suspension of Iran’s banned nuclear activities will elicit the parallel suspension of sanctions. The package of incentives offered Tehran last year for its cooperation remains on the table.
