Thank the Liberals for the loosely defined and ever changing definition of "Victory".

You should wait until you sober up before you post.

So they got arrested right on time and will maybe be jailed until Wednesday. Therefore they will not be able to do anything more.

Reread the article.

''The nine were arrested for trespassing, said Doug Holtz, a St. Paul police commander. All but one, who did not have identification, were released by police shortly after their arrest. ''

Nuns? More Catholic nut jobs. Too bad, the nuns aren''t protesting their Catholic church that harbors priests and nuns who are pedophiles, *** offenders.

" ''It''s pretty clear that the point is to get organizers out of the picture,'' said Andy Fahlstrom, spokesman for the RNC Welcoming Committee. He said those arrested were in charge of various things, including finding housing for protesters and arranging food, and the arrests had adversely affected their organization."

Free Speech? LMFAO

"Constitution", "Liberty", "Free Speech", "Bill of Rights" are concepts that have been demonized by the far right and other authoritarians in the USA. The media is cowed, just like in China, from exposing government excesses. They fear being labeled "un-American" by the Right wing propaganda machine. The American people are simply disinterested.

The police state is coming. Some Americans applaud it as they cower in fear of "terrorism" and are willing to sacrifice their liberty for false promises of safety. All the police have to do is make false accusations of "terrorism", and the cowards among us cry "protect us", allowing any excess the government practices. Later, when these charges are proven false, the media is silent to the injustices. However, the damage as been done.

Most Americans just do not care any more. They think that they will never lose their liberty and are blind to the police state being established by American authoritarian politicians and the rapidly growing "security" apparatus. By the time they realize we are no longer free it will be too late. Perhaps our downfall is inevitable.

Don''t you just love the current occupant and the cheerleaders of the free world...? How ironic that just today China decided to commute the work camp sentences handed down during the Olympics to two 70+ year-old women who protested the property destruction for the event. Nice to know we''re so much more evolved.

The mission (which was to remove Saddam from power) WAS accomplished.

The goalpost for victory has been moved back every time by the Liberals and their biased media lapdogs. We defeated Saddam militarily, then the Libs said we needed to improve the industrial infrastructure. We accomplished that then they said it still wasn''t a victory because we needed to stabilize the political system. We accomplished that, then they said that there were too many IEDs killing people. We''ve cut that number down.

Thank the Liberals for the loosely defined and ever changing definition of "Victory".

If there was justice Bush and Cheney would hang.

Clearly, a 78-year-old nun is a tremendous threat to whatever flimsy rationale McBush has left to offer for his Iraq policy and other, assorted incompetencies.

Meanwhile, Bush and Cheney are nowhere to be seen. Pretending they are too busy in Washington, monitoring the Gustav crisis, they actually hope this storm won''t leave them with mud all over their faces. Their movie is titled, "Son of Katrina-- The Rematch".

Meanwhile, McBush promises to continue Bush and Cheney policies for another hundred years, or so. Katrina survivors grimly reflect on the prospect.

Arrest Bush and Chaney for war crimes instead of the 78 year old nun and other war protesters!

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

AMEN!!!!!!!!!! The sooner the better. This is the greatest failure of the Democratic Congress of 2006 that they failed to impeach both Bush and Cheney!

iT WOULD DEPEND ON CLIMATE AND FINANCES THAT YOU ARE INTERESATED IN. I have been living in Thailand and love it. Cost of living is very reasonablem, people very friendly. Can rent a two or three bedroom apartment in Bangkok for 300 to 500dollars a month. Canada could also be a nice choice and wouldn''t be so far to move.Australia could also be a nice choice.
