It''''s like when old Bill asks a guest a question and then shouts them down, because he doesn''''t want to hear the answer.

And still there are a sufficient number of morons watching that drivel that he stays on the air. Scary, isn''t it?

Of course, that''''s their intent. What amazes me is that they think it works on those who don''''t watch FNC.

Too much O''Reilly in that boys diet. It''s like when old Bill asks a guest a question and then shouts them down, because he doesn''t want to hear the answer. That''s all that okie is doing - it''s the same as a little kid that puts his fingers in his ears and says, "NAH, NAH, NAH - I CAN''T HEAR YOU!!"

Nothing but childish.

Just amazing how some folks spam the same message over and over again, just begging to be kicked off the forum.

Not much to worry about in that vein, Ice.

Radio and I have both reported theferrier for his non-stop Ron Paul spam to no avail.....

Don''t fret okie, Halliburton will get the no-bid contract to rebuild the dam. And that $27 million figure will become $200 million in un-audited overruns before it''s all said and done.

Just amazing comments from some folks. I would just bet they would blame the US for the dam breaking and probably blame the US for allowing it to be built in 1984. If you want a job done right, you go with the best company you can find - Halliburton is that company, Cheney or not. As far a spending money to rebuild one of this country''s nastiest cities that has one of the most dishonest city governments and is 15 feet below sea level to boot - sure does not make much sense to this tax payer.

Wouldn"t it be awful if the dam broke and ruined that magnificent pink elephant, the lavish new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, symbol of the Western Occupation ?

Some over there would see it as Allah"s judgment, I''m sure.


"...In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea..."

do you really find your comment to be so profound that it merits 8 or 10 repostings?

I certainly do not.

If you want the job done effectively, you open the job for competitive bidding, while checking the applying companies references and prior jobs. Throwing billions of dollars at one company, with no oversight, and hundreds of millions of dollars in cost over runs is not only incompetent and ignorant, but it should be illegal too.

And I would rather throw my tax money into the Grand Canyon rather than spend one dollar on a foreign, oil rich country.

Funny typo in the CBS story. (I need to rescue it with an asterisk to evade the software censors)

"In spite of the Iraqi government"s professed confidence, Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus sent a letter to the Iraqi prime minister in May stating that the d*amn presented "unacceptable risks."

I"m sure the letter said "dam," not "d*amn"

Blaming America and blaming an administration are tow very different things.

Neocons love to try to convert criticism of the administration into criticism of Amerca, trying to falsely claim patriotic high ground.

It doesn''t work except on FNC viewers.

"f a dam north of Mosul, Iraq, collapses it could send a trillion-gallon wave of water roaring through Iraq''s two largest cities"

Oh EXCELLENT! provide the information so that the terrorists can plan an attack on this next!
Maybe it would be a good thing this dam does collapse, Imagine the trouble it would cause BUSH and his regime in the occupation when all hel1 breaks loose.
