They don't need to sneak in oil. They just need their chalabi. Just sneak soembody into the wolfowitz, rumsfeld, cheney, perle, rove inner circle and tell them what they want to hear. They will make sure Bush invades NK not long after.
I would think land near china would be of some value to this administration. Why not take over North Korea and use the people there for outsourcing. They are hungry and will work for next to nothing.
Wha? How can you say GW is weird and psychotic? God told him to run for the presidency, God elected him and God speaks through him. How can the warrior of god be weird and psychotic?
" If you and yours lived only 50 miles from the DMZ, I don't think you'd be spouting such nonsense."
But he doesn't and that's the whole point. He doesn't care if other people die. He is a sociopath and like all sociopaths he has no ability to empethize with other people. To him dead koreans (north or south) don't matter. The only thing that matters is the supremecy of US military power and unquestioning obediance to his will.
I don't think you need anything like that. What you need are easy to make, easy to transport, easy to set off smaller bombs. Look at how much America is terrorized with just three airplanes. Imagine if some chemical was released in a NY subway or a small tactical nuke was exploded in Washington DC. Imagine the kind of economic damage a well placed EMP weapon would cause if it got let go in redmond.
You can cresh countries with fear and cause massive economic damage using very little materials and money as long as you are creative and have insight into the psyche of your enemy.
Saddam used WMDs in the 80s when we gave him the weapons and showed him how to use them.
Before this invasion Saddam never threatened the US or any of it's neighbors. Not that I care a whole lot about it's neighbors but that's another story.
How come you care so much about the neighbors of other people anyway?
Well that's certainly this administration's idea of diplomacy anyway. So far it's worked out great too. North koreans have nukes, iranians are not too far behind, and we have spent 200 billion in iraq trying to give control of more then one city to our handpicked ex-cia operative. On top of all that the rest of the world hates our guts.
If this is success I hate to see what failure looks like.
The chances of any arab army eliminating israel is slim to none.
If israel is going to die it's going to die from internal rot. There is corruption from the bottom to the top in the israeli government. Sharon just ducked one indictment but another one is not too far away. Oddly enough it involves a casino that is also partly owned by the palestenian authority. Imagine that Sharon and the PA in bed fleecing people through a casino.
The UN are pussies. The UN is an innefectual organization. For example it could not prevent a stonger nation from attacking, invading, occupying, and taking control over the natural resources of a weaker country.
The UN was created to prevent war. The fact that there have been non stop wars since the creation of the UN ought to tell you what an absolute waste of time and money it has been.
Gee only if we had an administration that was skilled in diplomacy or even believed in it. This administartion idea of diplomacy is to insult people and tell them we are going to kill them and of course sometimes to kill them.
"stepping things up is probably the way to go if you don't want to be the next Iraq."
Yes. GW definately laid down the gauntlet. Unless you have enough power to cause serious damage the US reserves the right to invade you anytime it wants for any reason it wants.
It would be very wise for all nations to develop nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. The UN is unable to stop strong countries from attacking and invading smaller countries.
It's a tough one especially for this administration. They only know how to wage war or sit on their asses and do nothing. Genocide in Sudan, massacres in liberia who cares sit on your ass. Saddam is a bad man? INVADE!
Right because no business person has ever played a video game and never met anybody who has played a video game and is too sutpid to know that there are video games and that video games have monster in them.
The main reason that won't happen is the cost. It costs a few thousand dollars to get each patent. Unless you are a business and are planning on suing somebody later it makes no sense to spend that kind of money.

That's not the point. If MS stock takes a nosedive it takes the entire economy along with it.
Let's break that down.
1) No a plot to assissinate is not a threat.
2) I don't care if they threaten their neighbors. Why do you?
They don't need to sneak in oil. They just need their chalabi. Just sneak soembody into the wolfowitz, rumsfeld, cheney, perle, rove inner circle and tell them what they want to hear. They will make sure Bush invades NK not long after.

Hey don't be so hard on them. They have done an excellent job or reporting and analyzing the laci peterson case.

You know I just don't buy the whole "he is insane" bullshit. Why is it that every leader who does something we don't like is lables "insane"?
I suspect he is very wily but certainly not insane.

How about israel which in all likelyhood has around 300 nukes.
All it shows is that our delusion of a free press is just that.
Gee only if we had an administration that was skilled in diplomacy or even believed in it. This administartion idea of diplomacy is to insult people and tell them we are going to kill them and of course sometimes to kill them.
What makes you think that we or one of our surragates (israel?) didn't drop the bomb to teach them a lesson.
Yes. I for one am glad our eight year nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.

In no way shape or form is DDT the most effective or the only way to kill mosquitos. Anybody who tells you otherwise is a flat our liar.
Right because no business person has ever played a video game and never met anybody who has played a video game and is too sutpid to know that there are video games and that video games have monster in them.
Mmm. Interesting. DDT kill mosquitos. Deny people DDT and people will all be bitten by mosquitos and get malaria.
Why?
Because there is no other method of killing mosquitos right? DDT is the only thing in the world that can prevent widespread malaria.
"
That wouldn't work, because you can be forced to license your patents out at a reasonable price in court"
The best the court would do is to invalidate your patent. They can't force you to license it let alone for a reasonable price.
The main reason that won't happen is the cost. It costs a few thousand dollars to get each patent. Unless you are a business and are planning on suing somebody later it makes no sense to spend that kind of money.
