Republicans issued 144 subpoenas just for Clinton's Christmas Card list & over 1,000 over all during his administration -- Why not issue them for the White House adviaors on political corruption ????

Hawk Springs - I have to admit, those of you on the Extremist Right are extremely proficient at utilizing established Right wing talking points.

[j-whitman]

Hawk,,, As it stands,, Bush wanted to sell our ports, shipyards & air space to Sunni's (Dubai World) Now the air port deal is going to AIG, still partly controled by Sunni (Dubai World) --

Now Bush wants Haliburton to move to Dubai (Sunni), along with Haliburton goes our military's operational secrets.... Sunni's gave us 9/11 & the attack on the Cole -- Here is a Fox News article you can draw your own conclusions from.

Hawk,,, I can see your confusion,,, Think about it this way,, They are either incredibly dumb our incredibly corrupt --- Let's get some answers, truthful ones, under oath.

"That entire corrupt bunch in the White House are established & expert propagandists."
Posted by book54552134

...I'm confused, I keep reading posts here that say the bunch in the White House are dumb as vegetables.

You libs need to get your stories straight.

[book54552134]

It is foolish to believe anything the DOD via the Bush Administration says about Iraq.
That entire corrupt bunch in the White House are established & expert propagandists.

vbnvbn,,, If you don't listen to Fox or MSNBC, where do you get your info from ???,,, CBS & ABC pretty much echo MSNBC & CNN

[sharncedar]

good to know we finally won the war in Iraq. Whew. What a relief. The surge is working, the "bad man" Saddam Hussein is gone, everything's peachy, great.

When are we bringing the troops home?

[j-whitman]

Notblue,,,,
, This was your question,, " Please explain what your position is in regards to being privy to political conversations and negotiations in the Iraqi and U.S. governments"
, My answer is,,, I'm no more privy to information than any citizen,,, I simply follow more news sources than Fox or Rush.

This seems to fit a new line of propaganda where we are switching from Appeal to fear which seeks to build support by instilling anxieties and panic in the general population, to claim that Iraq sought our extermination via WMD. The new technique is a jump on the bandwagon and "inevitable-victory" which appeals and attempt to persuade the target audience to join in and take the course of action that everyone else is taking. It invites those not already on the bandwagon to join those already on the road to certain victory. Those already or at least partially on the bandwagon are reassured that staying aboard is their best course of action.
Also, this technique reinforces people's natural desire to be on the winning side. This technique is used to convince the audience that a program is an expression of an irresistible mass movement and that it is in their best interest to join.

This is not the Third Reich! It costs $30 to make a roadside bomb. This device is home made. It is simple and requires simple parts. It won%u2019t go away. And just because the media doesn't hear about the casualties and thus the American people don't hear about it, it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

The shift is on. Iran and the Soviet Union has begun arming Latin American countries for years now in anticipation of a war on our soil using WMD. Our Latin neighbors are not our friends, And while the battle rages in Iraq, the U.S. is not defended us!

USAadvisor,,, My bad,, That was Boxer that went off on Inhof

[notblue]

j-whitman, I read your post nothing was said about a combination and you negeleted to answer the question, on purpose I'm sure.

[j-whitman]

Jebby,,, You're too much, my ribs are hurting from laughing so hard --- These republicans have been attacking our Constitution for 6 years,,, Bush alone has violated it over 500 times just with his signing statements

For Your Info -- The Bill of Rights is the 1st 10 amendments of our Constitution.

[jebby_one]

Democrats have to get with it and advance their timeline if they want to surrender in Iraq.

Of course it's never-never too late for Democrats to throw in the towel. Hell, there Democrats still trying to surrenter to England and declare our Bill of Rights null and void.

[j-whitman]

USAadvisor,,, Senator Inhof, he's one of the last remaining dinosaures of the old order...

[j-whitman]

jhouse9,,,, Think about it a moment please --- It's not walking away from Iraq --- It's redeployment to actually take the fight to al Queda & win -- It forces Iraq's government to finally stand up.

[j-whitman]

jhouse9,,,, U-Tube is not a reliable source,, anyone can post without any verification of thier postings... You can say anything you want on U-Tube & My-Space, truth or lies, fairy tales or hate.

KyleCope has a good point about historical perspective. In this war, the media nad politicians have none. Every life is precious,but we're at war. When you put our troops next to our enemy, we will have casualties.
Compared to other major conflicts in the last century, friendly casualties have been much lower.
Of course, no politician can gain from making statements to the effect, nor do most media outlets want to report it.(wonder why?)
It is odd few people can admit, regardless how they feel about how we got in this war, we are fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq. These afffiliated jihadists groups are behind the nastiest killings of civilians and on Iraqi and coalition forces)in Iraq now.That is a fact, not an opinion.
Intentionally sending dozens of children to their deaths is evil.Go to CSPAN or Utube and listen to UP's Pam Hess.She reports the truth about what is going on there, as few other reporters have dared to do.
Walking away from Iraq is not an option.
