State of emergency does not necessarily imply martial law. State of emergency has more to do with , and is typically associated with, federal assistance/involvement.
Martial law, AFAIK, was never declared in NO, though it was talked up in the media. I believe, it's pretty clear that 2nd Amendment rights were violated.
So, from this statement, we make the inference that Bush knew there weren't any WMDs and led Americans into war anyway (ignoring intelligence to the contrary, etc)?
I mean, the British clearly believed there were WMD's and were planning accordingly with us. How could we have 'fixed' (positioned, manipulated, whatever) intelligence gained from them? Intelligence gained under the Clinton administration? French intelligence? German? Italian? Russian? UN?
The UN wasn't enforcing it's own rules against Saddam (in fact, as we're finding out, they were in bed with him), Saddam was in clear violation, and he was also unashamedly funding terrorists (giving haven to al-Ansar Islam in Northern Iraq, as well).
The notion that it was somehow 'cooked' to fit a predetermined plan seems silly.
I also recall a congressional investigation and the 9/11 commission found to the contrary, as well.
Man, talk about a diversion from the main topic. This really needs addressing:
Hell our closest allies even flat out admit Bush was bent on military action before anything else. (Downing Street Memos...heard of them perhaps?)
Read them, perhaps? Or just the take other people's words for it? Do you have any idea what 'fixed' means in proper english used in common British parlance? It's not the primary American definition 'to manipulate'... it's 'to determine with accuracy; ascertain.'
This is similar to their use of the word 'scheme' -- which we often take to primarily mean 'a secret or devious plan' (common British use is simply in regards to 'a plan' or an 'orderly combination of' things).
You never had the right to hang the 10 commandments in the courthouse, and just because some places in Buttfuck, Texas did so doesn't mean they were right.
Hey, that 1100 is pretty darn spiffy. I admit I'm hooked on my color display now, but that one looks like it could really take some punishment. Eeeexcelent.
Yes, we yanks enjoy our freedom to defend ourselves, our families, communities, and country from goblins within and without with virtually whatever firearm we wish. We'd rather not be defenseless 'loyal subjects' like those of you in London.
I'm sure the increase in violent crime across the UK was worth it.
Even though the sale says "Complete with extras including bomb racks, drop tanks and pylons," I heard a report that says the hardpoints required for actually mounting armaments (Sidewinders, Sparrows, AIMs, SLAMs, Mavericks, JDAMs) were removed. Clearly, I could be wrong. I wonder though, what about the spiffy 20mm Vulcan cannon?:)
And it's a particular hang-up that people like yourself insist on carrying around to this day. Good Lord, I think most people realize that he was referencing his "legislative" lead taken in creating a publicly-available world-wide network.
Sheesh... grow a sense of humor and register already.

Chances that they were even alive at the time to experience the crisis of confidence?
Thanks for that positive note, Ben. I've been mulling around the same idea!
I am glad to hear there are more jobs... but then, why am I making 25% less than what I was making 5 months ago?
You got me. I'm making nearly 40% more than I was 5 years ago. My big boost was ditching STE for CM. My total industry experience is nearly 10 years.
Adopt, adapt, and improve... motto of the round table (& the world of technology methinks).
You sure?
What is different, and perhaps not in a good way, is that this is an optical mouse and not a laser mouse, so the max DPI is only 1600

my wife doesn't understand me in that way either ... claims I've already corrupted her too much ;)
Yeah, well, get in line. I've got the patent. ;)

Let it go, man -- 2000 is rapidly approaching a whole term ago. Al could have, however, framed his response a little differently.
