Hold everything.....sien is inserting logic into this equation....doesn't sien understand that/. has lately become a neocon script kiddie paradise???? Imagine, a country which actually plans for its future!!! I recall once living in a country like that....that would be when Kennedy was still president.....
Holy Crap! That sounds so geopolitically sophisticated...
That is, if someone has the brain and knowledge base the size of a worm --- or a Dan Quayle, Richard Perle, Bill Krystol, Paul Wolfowitz (Oh no, he's running the World Banko..)!
Of course, should one choose to apply a little knowledge to the situation to elucidate it: the Israelis have sold nuclear technology to the Chinese (plus other weapon systems), which the Chinese have sold to the Iranians, while the Soviets have sold the Iranians their SS missile tech, and the Paks have given the Iranians any nuke help they might require, while Halliburton (including when Cheney was still CEO) has sold them anything they possibly could.....Now why should we, or anyone else be worried?????
Can anyone spell "Trading with the Enemy Act"?? (Obviously, Patrick Fitzgerald can't....) and where do you get this "pariah" crap from? That whole area is about to become a Shi'a super state -- probably with Iran at the helm....
What's the big deal??? Everybody knows (OK, except for maybe George W. Bush, Bill Krystol, Dan Quayle, Richard Pearle and the rest of the Neocon/PNAC crowd --- but they'll be sent to fight the next war in Iran, anyway...) the universe is round. Round.
Such thinking is why this country's population "enjoys" an average reading level of a (rather poor) seventh-grade student. It is also why we lag behind so many other societies in the sciences.....
No, what should be drilled into people's heads is that science and religion are not mutually exclusive.
That is a political statement, not an educated one. Indeed yes, science and religion (as least as it now exists on this planet) are indeed mutually exclusive. One is taken on faith by people who normally exist in a state of abysmal ignorance as to the history and historicity of those texts they hold sacred.
Few Christians realize that most of the New Testament was written somewhere between 300 to 500 years after the event they were supposed to be recording. There are many ignoble and suspect passages in the Koran, the Bible and the Talmud. For every ignorant American here who cites those violent-inciting passages from the Koran, one need only point out like passages in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. The aware in each society may look upon it as literature mixed with parts of early social history, but please never liken it to any form of logical or concise thinking. Never assume!
Historically speaking, yes, but by itself your comment is most insipid and speaks volumes about your limited knowledge and perspective.
In previous times, information was severely limited to the public, whereas today, there is very little excuse not to have some idea of what is actually transpiring. All wars principally benefit the rich elites, the successful wannabes, and their political lackeys.
Let me guess! You were modded up by your posting buddy, right?
Naah, going in circles is standard operating procedure for the Bush Gang.
Didn't Cheney just make a speech last week claiming that the American electorate sent the WRONG message to the "terrorists" by NOT electing Lieberman??
So now we're supposed to ONLY elect Jewish guys to office? I'm sure that will go over peachy with all those Islamic fundamentalists....(Are we missing something here, or are all these clowns criminal AND nuts????)
Using logic.....what a peculiar idea when one has a psychopath for president.
[When an individual kills a person, he is called a murderer. When an individual kills, maims or tortures over one hundred thousand people, he is called George W. Bush.]
FINALLY!!!! A M$ exec or spokesperson has actually stated (the obvious) something I can actually agree with.....HOLY CRAP! Of course, they still suck.....
Let's assume Bush manages to survive the next several years and is once again a private citizen. Now let's assume he is traveling overseas. Which microchip would the scanner pick up? The one in his head that's always misfiring, or the one in his microchipped passport???
Ooops! I forgot, Bush never travels overseas as a private citizen...in fact,never traveled at all (excepting that Tijuana prostitute town) until he was "elected" president.....
Hey! Are you sure you're an Amurican????? You ain't from Texas, I knows that. Georgey Bush would never agree with your commie pinko views. You ain't no hunter either....Cheney would never invite you to shoot caged birds with him.....Bushy would never invite you to stick firecrackers up the anuses of frogs and laugh while they'd blow up....and nobody would allow you to shoot their bison....no sireee.....you probably ain't no draft-dodger neither....no you ain't no Amurican....
Listen! There is just no way in Hell that Jessica Alba would be caught dead making a TV series with gold fish - only Flipper and no one else - she's very particular.....
In the past I have worked on successful government contracted mega-programming projects. But the difference was they were serious about it - this particular government (now properly designated as a neocon fascist regime) is only concerned with the transfer of wealth - in this case, taxpayers' monies to S.A.I.C. 'Nuff said.....
Actually, last I heard, they had compiled quite a file (with audio clips, BTW) on those Quaker peace groups. Now I for one am scared sh*tless whenever I even hear the name Quaker (or maybe I'm thinking of Quake...or was that Doom????) Man oh man, I'm confused....what Reich are living in????
Here's an even more original story an actual investigative journalist might try a run at (assuming there are truly anymore employed at America's newspapers today???):
Find the personnel roster of the various organizations (including NYC Emergency Operations Center) from the former World Trade Center Building #7, and compare it to the personnel roster from S.A.I.C.
Notice any duplicate names popping up???? "Coincidence" -- it's called a money transfer - seemingly yet another crappy government job, but easy money.....
Because of an open-ended contract with few safeguards, SAIC reaped more than $100 million as the project became bigger and more complicated, even though its software never worked properly.
I'm afraid there aren't enough people getting it...don't we have any decent programming technoids here????
It is called a money transfer. Here's an exercise in either Logic 101, Journalism 101 or Research 101: obtain the personnel rosters of the people in the former World Trade Center Building 7 (their Emergency Ops Center, the other government agencies -- CIA, IRS, SEC, etc.) then compare them to the personnel roster of S.A.I.C. Notice any similarities????
Oh...I know....it's just a "coincidence"....of course.....
FBI leadership, greedy contractors and bad software management.
Really, it goes far beyond this (not that I don't fundamentally agree with your point). SAIC is simply another war profiteer and 9/11/01 "security" profiteer aligned with this administration. Their profits have soared with the attacks of 9/11/01 and the invasion and bloody occupation of Iraq. One need only look at their personnel roster to get a solid impression of what's wrong with the present fascist regime and globalist congress.
The point is a transfer of wealth (taxpayers' monies) along with money laundering, it has absolutely nothing to do with achieving any goals. Certainly nothing to do with national security - as if anyone in this administration could pull their noses out of their assets portfolios long enough to notice....
Also, and even more pertinent, the government -- with complete information access which it now enjoys -- can expertly weave a fictional story/bio around anyone, destroying someone's reputation (or illegally sending someone to jail, as both the FBI and various local police have done more than a few times in the past).
While I've never done anything wrong, I am aware of many wrongs practised against the citizenry by the government, e.g., the Commerce Department - using taxpayers' funds - to travel around America giving seminars to Fortune 1000 corporations on how to smoothly and conveniently lay off American workers and offshore their jobs (with the ones doing the best rewarded by the Import-Export Bank). This is also done at the local level by various Chamber of Commerces. Anyone not aware of this by this time (it has been going on for 6 years now) please don't bother to post.....
Oh no, that never happens with the US government. After all, look at all those guys surrounding former CIA director Porter Goss? Whoops, wrong example. One assistant committed suicide, another one's under indictment...too soon to know about the disposition of the other several.....
No, M$ does actually hire, but not their publicly stated numbers - the only hire a small fraction in the Puget Sound area compared to what they claim they are going to hire locally. And yes, I am serious.....(also, once you are hired, please keep your hears attuned to see how many people knew each other prior to being hired there, in other words, what level of nepotism they practise....)
The Korean society is far more ant-like, although I'm sure the religious fundamentalists and the neocons would very much like to promote such behavior in America. But we step on ants.....
[This was metaphorical as I am a big promoter of Insect Rights!]
You are exactly on target, of course! Every several years Microsoft claims they'll be hiring in the Puget Sound area, but then it turns out they've just hired in India, or China or Russia, etc. If a fairly conservative group such as Gartner projected IT outsourcing to increase by 20 percent over the next few years - you know it will probably be more like 40 to 60 percent - given the exponential increase of offshoring in most job areas.....
