You sad, TV-fed fatty -- you should take a look at all the UN resolutions about Israel that the US refuses to implement.
Turn off that TV man, turn it off. You don't even realize how bamboozled you are.
Bamboozled you say? Because I know the difference between a Chapter Six and Chapter Seven resolution? Maybe instead of telling others to turn off the TV, you should pick up a book and learn the difference in resolutions passed by the UN.
Chapter Six deals with the peaceful resolution of disputes and entitles the council to make non-binding recommendations.
Chapter Seven gives the council broad powers to take action, including warlike action, to deal with "threats to the peace, breaches of the peace, or acts of aggression". Such resolutions are binding on all UN members.
All resolutions pertaining to Israel are Chapter Six. All those dealing with Iraq are Chapter Seven. However, with most anti-Semites, er I am sorry, "anti-Zionists" the difference in these resolutions means nothing. It is just another way of bashing Israel on an unrelated matter. This fits in exactly why you hiding behind "Anonymous Coward" to spill out your "anti-Zionist" filth.
Ok, but what about the other several hundred shells we were told Iraq was hiding, and tons other chemical weapons? What about those mobile chemical weapons factories? And the jets that were modified to spray antrax?
Oh so the goal posts are moving again? One shell means there are more out there, surely buried under the sand like so many of Saddam's citizens and a few of his Russian fighter planes. No one makes just one artillery shell. The WMD that Clinton spoke out against during the late 90s didn't just disappear just because you hate Bush. There are no records of their destruction as required by the UN. They have to be somewhere and it would have been insane for Hussein to destroy them without telling the world -- there was billions of dollars at stake. Iraq is a country the size of California and we haven't dug everywhere yet. Plus Syria is looking pretty likely as a hiding place as well since the recent attempted chemical attack on Jordan.
Also, just think why the Iraqi military kept pesticides at an ammo dump. They weren't growng dates there.
And in the end, that's the issue here. All your talk about not paying to watch Moore is irrelevant-- you won't even get the opportunity to protest his film, because the decision has already been made. For you, for me, for all of us. And it's entirely and unabashedly political.
One problem that renders all you have said moot. The film is going to be released. People have already seen it. It has even won an award. Plus, Disney told Moore last year that they didn't want to distribute the film and Moore lied recently about this to drum up publicity (he admitted it).
There is no crushing of dissent in this country. If fact, it gets to be annoying to hear the whaling of the anti-Bush crowd complain about the Liberation of Iraq. I never heard the same voices of dissent when Clinton bombed the crap out of Yugoslavia for "human rights violations" (no where close to Saddam's) without even giving the UN lip service.
Don't worry no one is stopping you from calling the President a "poo-poo head". If Bush and the Republicans were as bad as the left envisions, there would be no one left alive on the left. It's time for the left to get a little testicular fortitude and understand that someone telling you that you are wrong is not censorship or the crushing of dissent. It's called debate and America is rich with it.
Do you honestly believe that that one shell with traces of sarin (unconfirmed, last i saw) justifies invading a sovereign nation?
1. A gallon of Sarin is not "traces". It is enough to kill more people than died on 9/11.
2. It has been confirmed.
3. Iraq violated 18 UN resolutions regarding WMD. The last one promised extreme measures if they were not complied with immediately. We had more UN oversight in the liberation of Iraq than we did for the bombing of the sovereign nation of Yugoslavia. We now are learning through the rampant bribery in the UN Oil-for-Food program why we had some of our "allies" threaten vetos on our use of force. A liberated Iraq would stop their Saddam funded gravy train.
Nice to see that "innocent until proven guilty" still holds sway in these troubled times.
So you are saying these people are American citizens on American soil committing minor crimes? These are terrorists that attacked American soldiers not your garden variety criminal. Maybe its just me, I am a tad bit more concerned about the lives of our soldiers than the scum that rig roadside bombs. Guess my priorities are different than yours.
God you're an idiot. You can't prove a negative. Can't be done. Can't prove there is no Bigfoot, can't prove there aren't aliens among us, can't prove there is no God. Can't be done. Similarly, no one can prove there are no WMD in Iraq. But that's irrelevant because the burden of proof is on the administration; they're the ones who claimed Saddam was a threat because of his vast quantities of WMD, a threat large enough to justify going to war over. Not me.
Obviously, you can't prove anything. Saddam was required to document the destruction of all his WMDs by the UN. If he had 155mm sarin shells, he would have to declare them in order to not violate the UN Resolutions. If he declared these, there would be paperwork. Produce the paperwork. If you cannot, then the sarin shells are undeclared WMD.
The insults are doing you any good. You look unhinged, nervous and desperate. Its OK to be wrong. We won't laugh at you -- that much.
But even more than Moore's documentary, I hope more and more images and video keeps coming out of Iraq in regards to the abuse, torture, rape and slaughter of Iraqi citizens, most of whom are guilty of no crime. That more than anything is Bush's legacy, his mark upon the world and truly the images that best define our Fascist Leader and his doctrines.
Maybe you haven't been paying attention to the wall-to-wall coverage of the Abu Gharib "scandal" but the prisoners mentioned were not just Iraqi citizens, they were Iraqi citizens that were in the 1-A and 1-B sections of the prison. This area was reserved for the baddest of the bad. People that killed US Troops and planted IEDs. All without being in uniform and without a structured chain of command, i.e., terrorists. We can all appreciate the long lasting affects on my being forced to walk around naked with a pair of women's panties but it is not representative of Fascism. That would have been the decades of Saddam's brutal regime. He was a bit more brutal than West Virginia knickers on the head.
Want more information on the republican campaign to quiet the liberal voice check out howardstern.com [howardstern.com]. (warning, site may be offensive to compassionate conservatives).
First, as much as I like Stern, he only is qualified to discuss the proper techniques for tossing bologna at a stripper's butt. His political views are based on whatever pads his pocketbook.
Second, there is not an active "campaign" to censor or quiet Michael Moore -- or at least I didn't get the e-mail or fax. He could only wish that the US Government would try to censor him. It would be even more $$$ in his pocket. Moore and his slavish followers claim that disagreeing with him is the same as trying to silence him.As a part of my civil liberties, I have the freedom to not pay to watch his "documentaries", buy his books, view his TV shows or wear his t-shirts. Or do I have to spend my money supporting the companies that support him. That's not an effort to quiet him, its an effort to make sure my money doesn't make it into his pocket. He is already a rich, union busting fat cat.
The liberals in this country want open and free discussion.
As long as you ignore all the campaigns against Fox News and talk radio hosts plus speech codes on college campuses, I would agree.
The Republican spin machine is going to get us all killed
Hyperbole. Learn to speak English yourself, sonny. But I am most satisfied you have learned to use Dictionary.com.
So far all you have is conjecture. No facts, no proof that WMD were destroyed by Saddam. Where is the paper work required by the UN that shows that 155mm Sarin Artillery Shells were destroyed? If Saddam was stripped of them, you shouldn't have any problems producing the paperwork.
Please write back when you have the URLs to the paperwork,
Once again, I ask. If we have found a gallon of sarin in an artillery shell that uses a binary system for the chemical reaction, how can you say that Saddam was stripped of WMD before the war?
And I'd be interested in the metric you use. Tell me, how often did we have terrorist attacks on US soil before 9/11? Well let's see, there was Oklahoma city, but that was an American so it doesn't really apply does it. So that leaves The first WTC bombing as the most recent attack preceding 9/11. 8 years lie between those two attacks.
You are forgetting two embassies in Africa and an American Warship. All of those are American soil. So it is not an attack every eight years.
Nice avoidance of the statement with insults and innuendo. Stellar job. However, it still stands. If Saddam Hussein was stripped of his WMDs, how did an artillery shell filled with a gallon of sarin using an advanced binary system end up as IED in Iraq? Remember, one drop of which can kill the average man. If we say there are 25 drops in an ounce, that is roughly the same death toll from 9/11 from this one shell.
Now lets try again. Without resorting the usual base partisan hysteria, please explain how there are no WMDs in Iraq. Its Ok to be wrong. No one is going to call you names.
Beware, we also have found mustard gas in Iraq as well.
Saddam was stripped of his WMD before the war, and he provided no support to al Qaeda.
What?. I think you need to change your signature. If there are no WMD, then there could not have been a binary chemical artillery shell filled with nearly a gallon of Sarin in Iraq. This was not an old shell either. Iraq didn't have binary chemical capabilities before the first Gulf War.
Granted I would never put crap like Gator on my PC but what if I were one of the many psychos that love ads? Heck there is even a popular web site where you can view ads -- for entertainment! If I want to install a "web tool" that pops up competing Ads when I view sites, what is it the right of a company to stop me? Do they own my PC? Is LL Bean going to rule what I can have pop up on my computer when I view their site? What, are they going to prevent me from having a Word document open that praises the virtues of polyester at the same time I view their site?
Hey I hate adware tremendously but users have a right to have their browser to behave the way they want. I use a product called Pith Helmet that alters the way content is presented in Safari. Am I going to get sued for that, or the author? LL Bean is stepping over the line. They have no right to tell me what products I can have installed on my PC when I browse their site. If their products are better than their competitors, they shouldn't be afraid of the pop ups. It should provide a level of contrast that makes their products shine.
Scientists didn't find a way to blame President Bush and Republicans for this. At least they could have come up with Dick Cheney and a time machine or something. The last thing we can have is "nature" causing extinctions, it has to be Republicans and SUV drivers! Get with the program!!!
What else would you use on a stealth ship? The color of water in the ocean is "blue" and the most typical color of a Windows NT server monitor is blue from the BSOD. If the Swedes ever get in combat say against Iceland, Santa Claus or Greenpeace and they find that they need to hide from their enemy, they can just launch Internet Explorer, cause a BSOD by clicking on the address bar and blend in to the deep blue sea.
I thought the Webby's were made irrelevant back at the end of the 90s. With so many web sites and services, this award has no meaning what-so-ever. Oh well, I guess some things don't know when they're dead.
Isn't Mail.app's Exhange support closer to glorified IMAP? Ability to schedule? I don't think that part's there... And, there are issues with iSync for AddressBook and Exchange
Exactly. Exchange support in Mail sux. I have yet to replace my Windows XP box at work because of Exchange support. I have to run two systems to do everything I do. However, I have been using rdesktop under X11 more and more. It beats the pants off RDC except for cut and paste.
Stevie-baby, here is your chance to get Mac OS X into the Enterprise! One of the major problems with integrating Macs in most large scale companies is the Exchange Mail Systems in use. In the past, most Mac OS X users had to load up classic to use the G-d awful Outlook client. The new Office 2004 Entourage client is still not as cool as Stickies, Mail, iCal and Address Book working as a team and the best part, those are built into the OS -- as the connector should be.
You mean the Discovery channel distributes on IRC? How many times have I seen two Rhinos doing the nasty with some British snooty guy narrating on PBS? Please, NY Times. This is nothing new. Heck, I even got a shot of flies getting busy on my balcony. You would think these New York City folk wouldn't be such prudes.

Anyone have a clue why?
the police telling a newspaper they cannot publish the street corner where drugs are being sold in the city they serve.
