US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer
chundo writes "CNN reports that the United States government has been secretly encouraging the defection of senior Iraqi officials via email. Iraq is responding by shutting down some of their internet gateways to prevent these emails from getting through, forcing the US to find alternate means to deliver the message. Maybe they should have enlisted this guy - emails from him keep showing up in my inbox no matter what I do." This story about the growing military network bandwidth crunch shows the U.S. military trying hard to get every soldier online, all the time.
Is this the medium american thought? In the rest of world all people think the same about George Hitler Bush... He is a bit crazy, no? He want's drop tons of bombs in any country that it call anti-american... In the rest of planet we think that he want to reactivate american economics and weappon industry and in same time to reelect.... Please, where is the good sense?
...I'm gonna burn Karma for this one for SURE.
No you won't. Not with the infamous American arrogance dominating slashdot.
The muslims are already having hard time in the States, you think this idiotic and wrong stereotype will help that situtation? Oh sorry, you don't care. My general impression is an American would not care for the well being of another human as long as that person is not American and looks/thinks like him.

It's just a provocation strategy. They're trying
desperately to get the Baath government to do
*something* that can be used as a pretext for a
massive bombing campaign and ground invasion.
If UNMOVIC were to take interviewees to Cyprus
and then not return them to Iraq, it would be
seen for what it is, a U.S. spy agency, and
Hussein might conceivably (yeah, right -- he's
not *that* stupid) slow down his cooperation,
which to this point has been obsequiously
total, and thereby provide the required pretext.
All of this is driven by the Zionist/Oil faction
now in control of U.S. foreign policy: Cheney,
Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle. I think that they
are likely to fail in their efforts this time,
though. If I didn't believe that, I'd be morally
obligated to send them to their judgement, so I'll
stick to that view as long as I can.

Man you're the perfect representation of the monkeyman constituency. You just don't have a clue other than what they pump in you on Fox News, do you?
Economies "go sour" because there's a general lack of faith in the system, if you'd read the post you're responding to, you might even understand the argument. Economies don't "go sour" because idiots overinflate stock prices. The price of stock, and the failure of a relative miniscule number of companies who didn't have sound business plans didn't drive the economy into recession.
If you knew what you were talking about, you'd say that the economy started faltering before 2001. Clue: that's when monkeyman took office--since you're trying to blame someone else for his problems, you only need to go back before 2001. You attempt to shift blame onto someone who was leaving office three months after the stock market stopped climbing (which is about the same time people realized that monkeyman could, in fact, become president).Monkeyman's attempt to shift blame onto the administration before him doesn't work because the stock market only inched downward, & probably would have recovered relatively quickly, under the watch of an administration that had the intelligence to deal with complex issues.
Since the monkeyman is more interested in chest beating, and giving tax-breaks to himself, there's really no hope until someone with at least a hint of intelligence takes his place.
Under Clinton, the stock market never came crashing down (as it did around the monkeyman), it simply stopped spiraling upward. Two years later, a second recession looming on the horizon and you idiots still try to blame someone who at least had the intelligence to create the environment in which business flourished, we all had jobs, and the world was at peace.
To bad that monkeyman's big campaign contributors and friends--like those over at Enron--decided that it was better to fill their own pockets.
