Yes. Not only did he go postal over a simple question, he flashed his white legs all over the screen. Hell, he almost jumped into Mike Wallace's lap. His handlers need to get him longer socks.
Bush could never handle an unscripted hostile interview like that.
The Republicans have been successfully painting the democrats as soft on terror and wanting to cut and run in Iraq. Left leaning Bob Woodward publishes yet another book critical of the Bush administration. The Washington Post, NYT, LA Times pile on. All of this a week after Clinton's rather embarrassing performance on Fox News. The parties sliming each other before a midterm election is to be expected. How is this partisan story news for nerds?
Only when the corporations began illegally hiring, and now going down to Mexico and illegally recruiting, did we have an illegal immigration "problem."
Indeed corporations are complicit in the illegal alien problem. It has hurt employment prospects and wage growth for the segment of our society most in need. One wonders where the loyalities of such companies lie. Nonetheless, immigration laws exist and they are being flaunted. It looks like congress might be taking the issue seriously with passage of the border fence law. Expect a considerable number of deportations of the 12 million illegals to follow.
This greatest generation crap is growing mighty tiresome as if there were truly anything greatest about them, why do we now end up with tyranny, beginning many decades ago --- I was too young to urge for real investigations of the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert F. Kennedy, but I'm certainly cognizant of the fact that each was assassinated after their views and actions changed with regard to the Vietnam War.
JFK was assassinated when he was in full zeal for the Vietnam War. There goes that theory. He started it! His successor Johnson screwed it up royally, heaping shame on all of us.There goes that theory.
Eisenhower, far too late (at the actual last day of his presidency) warned of the military-industrial-complex -- now military-industrial-corporate-congressional-prison -complex -- which has successfully assumed almost full-control of the USA.
The pentagon was asked to fight a war. They kicked ass, and took prisoners. The prisoners had to go somewhere. In WWII we kept 400,000 Germans and Japanese in prisons all over the US. I had an in law who had prisoners working on their cattle ranch (El Reno, OK). They were paid, housed, and fed well if they behaved. Many stayed and became loyal citizens! The fellows at Gitmo have made a lot of mischief. They need to be kept on ice until Al Qaida surrenders.
[I have striven to have a full and proper investigation, as a responsible adult now, of the 9/11/01 attacks, as I would never lend credence to a commission with an oil man, Thomas Kean (a director of Amerada Hess, involved with the Afghanistan pipeline project), aboard.
Another whacko conspiracy theorist reveals himself. Why do you find it implausable that a fully fueled airliner traveling at 500 miles per hour could bring down a building? We both watched it on TV. We have video of the perpetrators. Now that you are a responsable adult should should stop smoking dope!
No, I would say this greatest generation, one nimwit recently heard down at an American Legion speech given by Geo. W. Bush, saying that Bush had never lied about anything. Obviously, this Bushtard had but two neurons left to assimilate data with. And anyone who would accuse anyone else of excessive spending after this Bushtard has completely empitied the treasury, spent over $500 billion and still can't find his buddy and family friend, Osama, surely can't perform even the simplest arithmetic.
God bless President George Bush. May his armies crush the enemies of the United States.
Oh, yeah, and if we hadn't spent decades interfering in their internal politics, invading their countries for no goddamn reason, and supporting tin pot dictators who oppress their people (do you have any idea how many billions of dollars we happily gave to Saddam in the 80s? Some of it he used to fight Iran, which was why we gave him the money, and some he used to bomb his own people -- which we knew about, and did nothing about), then there wouldn't be any fucking terrorists in the first place.
America may have a large economy but do you really believe it is that negatively influential? The root problem of terror is the deep seated political and economic stagnation of the muslim world. What else does a young man have to do in societies devoid opportunity but to rot his brain memorising the koran and rail against injustice? And their prospects are many times greater that those of the women! GDub's valiant attempt to insert a democracy in this cesspool is laudable. But the chances of success are slim.
Looking at his post history, I think we've caught ourselves a troll.
Being relatively conservative compared to many on this forum I often express a minority opinion. But serious opinions are not trolls. Funny how liberals are confused by the two.
Destroying the enemies of the state must not be at the expense of the freedoms of its people!
The greatest generation of WWII (led by the democrat Roosevelt) would rightfully disagree.
I've voted Republican or Libertarian all my life. I'm almost 100% certain to vote Democratic the next time around. The pendulumn has swung too far to the right
In becoming the majority party in America the Republicans have entrained centrists like you who have contaminated the party platform. Excessive federal spending, weakness on illegal immigration, and other distructive trends are the result. The Republicans are better off without you.
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." ~ Benjamin Franklin
You forgot to added another cliche, karma whore favorite on this subject. You might have been modded up even more.
If you love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. -Samuel Adams, 1776
Adams and Franklin were refering to resisting an occupation force, the US is combating an externally commanded islamo-fascist terror insurgency. They are not the same. Indeed it is a love of liberty that inspires citizens to give the federal government the powerful tools they need to wipe it out completely.
My point is the 2006 and 2008 opportunities could have been used to launch 4-6 Spirit class rovers for the price of the Phoenix Lander and Mars Science Laboratory.
They are amazing. The rover architecture is obviously a great success. It makes me wonder why we are not sending many more identical or slightly upgraded craft. There is a single larger rover planned for 2009, but it seems to me that it is unlikely to out perform a larger number of cheaper craft and that a replan was in order. But for sheer exploration it is hard to beat these things.
Flying up to 60,000 ft then riding a rocket spewing nitrogen oxides and carbon/sulfur soot-laced exhaust is not going to pollute more than a ride in a Gulfstream IV? Branson is like most executives today who find it useful to pander to environmentalists. He is lying through his teeth. The early passengers will be in enormous danger if Spaceship I flights are any indication. I wish them well, but I would not be surprised if they lost a ship early on.
grounding all the Blackbirds and relying on Satallites was a really good one.
Be assured that the SR-71 was replaced with a more capable spacecraft. It is likely that the Chinese only shined lasers on the satellites they could see. Meanwhile the US has nasty laser weapons of its own.
And if anyone has ever stumbled upon the big online archive of the Mars Global Surveyor images, they would be amazed at the sheer amount of raw image data that is available.
Or here. I agree. The NASA missions are very open about releasing raw data. It is something to be proud of.
I wonder if they couldn't have been a combined effort for an even greater return. Then again, I'm just glad both of them are fulfilling their goals instead of both burning up on entry due to a conversion of units error.
Since Mars Express used an earlier launch opportunity shared by the Mars Rovers your suggestion is pointless. Also MRO is collaborating with the Italian Space Agency with the Subsurface Radar experiment. Otherwise NASA collaboration with ESA is on the wane for many reasons.
As far as Apples, I have the only one that I have seen here. In a stor with, literaly, hundreds of MP3 players, I saw one iPod. It was priced out of line with the local economy.
If the yuan value was set on the open world market instead of by the party hacks in Beijing, that iPod would be a lot cheaper and the Chinese consumer would be a lot richer.
while we fight the OMFGWTFT3RR1STZ!!! by dumping billions of dollars into an ill-conceived & poorly executed war that was planned before they took office
GDub's armies lead by Rummy kicked ass and took names in a lightning invasion that would have made Genghis Khan proud. Saddam was a creep who deserves what he got. He's not the last. Get over it.
I'm sure they'll give us our rights back after we overthrow Terroristastan.
Unless you are communicating with or passing money to your terrorist buddies overseas, or making threatening speeches in your local mosque, you don't have anything to worry about.
What benefit could the US expect from cooperation from China? Would it shrink the trade deficit, raise the value of the yuan, moderate the brutal Chinese regime? Will they provide money or advanced space technology? Most space technology is duel use, so why educate them? The US is rightly cautious.
Why people like you leap to offer every orifice to international criminals who mean you harm escapes me. Your parable only highlights the fecklessness of your views.
Your statement sounds like it came from a trained parrot.
Better a parrot than an ostrich. The majority of submoronic slashdot contributers would have us pretend that there is no threat and that the current administration is the real problem. Their arguments amount to sticking their fingings in their ears and saying "lalalalalalala".
Besides.... China has an amazing history of technological superiority over the last couple of thousand years or so, with only the last 100 or so years (a mere 5%) being a "glitch".
Boy, do those jokers get a lot of mileage out of inventing gun powder. What a crock.
And while your shuttle fleet was grounded, they launched two manned spacecraft in orbit.
We launched more astronauts on the last shuttle mission then China will launch this entire decade. They are also literally groveling to hitch a ride with us to the space station or the moon. We sure as hell don't need them or the Ruskies to get back. They are still 40 years behind.
And while your country is spending gazillions on invading Iraq and others, they improve their economy with 10 percent each year.
The US is not likely to grow at 10% again, that is true. But we do grow at 3-5% which is the best of the developed economies. There is no substitute for freedom, innovation and a flexible labor market. People from all over the world, including China, are standing on their heads to get in here! Someday soon China will have to grow by methods other than the party plan of manufacturing supported by cheap labor and currency manipulation. Slower going is inevitable. My guess is that there will be a significant unravelling in the not to distant future. As for the Iraq outlays, consider the cost of an emboldened Saddam Hussein on the US economy over the last 5 years. $200B per year in Iraq is peanuts.
The whole world knows that China is the real innovator and the next world superpower, when will Americans realize this ?
I think you mean imitator. I doubt they want to cross swords just yet. They, and the Russians, observed US warfare tactics in Gulf War II. I don't think they want some.

When you resort to grammar and spelling flames you know you are pwnd!

I applaud the Administration and Congress for giving law enforcement the tools it needs to expose islamo-fascist terrorists.
I try to preserve the cold war espirit de corps.
