Gee I guess you missed the statements to the fact that the Muslim extremists...you know the ones that flew the planes into the Trade Towers say that they want to destroy America and all that it stand for.
You really need to wake up and see the world for what it is. Even though that we are the only benign super-power that this world had ever seen, we should just put our heads between our legs and hope for the best because that has always worked throughout history....oh wait. The question boils down to this, who should come out on top, the US or the Muslims who believe that it is OK for them to come into our country and kill us if we don't want to convert. You don't believe me, you need to really bone yourself up on just what that religion is all about.
Does anybody actually take the advice of the Gartner Group? I have not heard of one suggestion that makes from them. This is just one more suggestion on that list!
You are only about 1/4 right. Black does not radiate better than white. Black only aborbs heat from light better than white. The key word there is 'light'.
If Iraq is a classic example of 'how not to do regime change' then Lybia is a classic example of 'how to do it right'.
And now you need to ask yourself why? The reason why his views have changed is because we _DID_ go into Iraq. He is now aware that we (Americans and not UN) are quite serious and should be taken seriously.
Well, for a start he could have NOT tied up a large chunk of our military in a country with NO NUCLEAR THREAT AT ALL
What does that have to do with anything? Are you that gullible that you believe that the leader of NK would have done nothing? If nothing else, us going into Iraq proves that we are serious about fixing problems and not just talking about how the leaders of rogue nations should act.
And gee what should he have done? He told the international community that they will be a problem, and what has the international community done about it? Did you say squat?
Now I might be laying down an overreaching generalization here, but I would bet that you are in the same group of people that believe that it is wrong for us to be Iraq.
So what should we have done about North Korea? We could have talked and attempted to negotiate a..... oh wait, tried that one. Kinda hard to negotiate with a crazy person isn't it?
Easy to sit back and bitch, but unless you have a solution just pipe down.
P.S. I am all for lighting up our big "crowd pleasers" on North Korea to make a statement for the other rogue crazy leaders (hint: Middle East) so they realize that we really aren't the Great Satan they say we are.
You are missing the point, we want immigrants. The stipulation is that the immigrants become Americans in that they speak English and meld into our society. It is the immigrants that want the US to become their old country that we Americans take issue.
Sorry but most of us view people that want to destroy our way of life as an enemy especially ones that are barbaric enough to consider lopping heads off as civil.
All well and good when it comes to more cores except that most OS's don't let threads from a process wander around and run on other cores. Way to much overhead to get all the necesary process data out of cache layers to to be accessed by other cores.
Gee I guess threating a broadcasting company that there could be issues with renewing their broadcasting license is just a joke. What does ABC really need with a broadcast license anyway? I always thought that the Fascists in Europe before and during WWII tried to control what was broadcasted to the general population.
Gee, yes because Sandy Berger is a good person to belive. Oh wait, he was the person convicted of stealing documents in his pants from the National Archives. Personally I have the same habit of stashing documents in my pants and socks while walking out of my local library.
When talking about the credibility of Madeline Albright, there is not enough space here to even begin to describe.
Oh, I didn't realize that torture did not exist in this world until the CIA came into existence. Silly me, I guess all of those history books discussing the Middle Ages were actually in the fiction section of the library.
For as much as I hate the surveillance program, you really need to be aware of the details. A few of them being tha the program needs to renewed every year which means that it can be dropped when the war is over and that it is a foreign-based surveillance program.
Okay, you want to bring up Katrian, then it is now on the table.
For the last 30+ years, Democrats have been in charge and running the city.
Where did all the money go to add to the levy system? Oh thats right, the money was spent on other items to beatify the city. Don't believe me, go research it.
Where was the plan to evacuate the city? Oh thats right, there wasn't one. I guess hurricanes are a new occurance since the Bush administration.
Where was the state government which controls the National Guard? Oh thats right, the governer (a Democrat) was sitting on her hands hoping for the best and telling FEMA initially that all is well before recanting and saying that the city is in complete crisis.
Where was the truthful reporting of the left-leaning press? Like the tens-of-thousands that dies...oh wait not. The hundreds that died at the Superdome....oh wait.
How do you justify the term neocons? In the cases of both Afganistan and Iraq, they now have democratically based government. How is that bad? I just don't get it. There governments might not be perfect, but they sure as heck are better than before.
I just love it when people here in the US rip on our chief export: freedom.
What you really need to to is actually read the Constitution and try to understand just what powers the founding fathers granted the President. He has the power to collection information on the enemy during the time of war. Actually if he wasing trying, he could be found guilty of dereliction of duty.
Fascist behavior like a members of Congress basically threating ABC to have their FCC license revoked, and an ex-President also calling the ABC president asking for a movie to pulled because it makes him look bad. You mean that kind of Fascist?
The problem with your statement is that the President has the powers that you question, and they are granted to him by the Constitution. You know that nastly little document that is the frameworks for our government. The President is tasked in a time of war to protect the country as he/she sees fit, and guess what we are at war. Our enemy has said that they are at war with us.
The FISA court was created in 1978 or so because Congress felt the need to stick their noses in places it doesn't belong.
As a note as well, please be aware that the wiretapping was of communications with endpoints in locations that were select like Iraq, Iran and Syria. They were not tapping conversations between two endpoints in the US.
Do you even have an understanding of the contracts that went to Halliburton?
Let me give you a little glimmer. Most of the contracts were of the size that only a small handful of companies in the whole world can fulfill. Halliburton can, in effect, deliver a rolling economy for a country. Being that I am pretty sure you are refering to Iraq, there economy was in shambles and not just because of the war. They needed a solution and quick so what were the options? Elicite firms from countries like France and Germany for which were countries that worked around the UN sanctions?
Their biggest gripe is that Bush can't cut taxes fast enough and that is why the country doesn't have enough money to afford the security we need. Seriously. They think cutting taxes would give the gov't MORE money to make the country secure.
Well, it you actually understood economics you would know that this is in fact true. Not sure if you realize this, but it people like you and me who spend money on real items that drive the economy, and not the government. We are the ones that spend the money around in many areas like durable goods and investment plans that push the economy forward regardless of what the news reports.
It is not that I feel they will, but the fact that they state that will. Period. Listen to what they say, not what you think they should say.
Kinda hard to misconstrue states like "death to all Americans". I don't really see much wiggle room there. I give credence to there statements when they strap explosives on there CHILDREN and send them off to non-combatants. I won't even to into the fact that in the year 2006, they still feel it is OK to CUT THE HEADS OFF innocent people little alone feel that there "GOD" is OK with it.
You are the one with blinders one. You cannot negotiate with evil people. It has never worked.
You sir could quite possibly be the biggest ass here. Because _YOU_ have let your life go to crap does not mean that all should be as bitter as you. Try getting out of your celler, off the liberal blogs, get a job and take control of your life and for God's sake, please stop being a victim to your laziness.

All that I am going to say is "Soylent Green".
Actually you aren't off-topic regarding the parent comment. Your approach is actually quite well thought-out.
