Response to: Common Anti-American opinions Posted March 24th, 2004 in Politics

Just a shot across your bow because I'm tired from working all day:

BUSH KNEW WHERE BINLADEN WAS ON 9/12

The rest of what I 'd have posted here has been addressed in another post.

Have a good night!

Anyone see 60 Minutes last night? Posted March 22nd, 2004 in Politics

Former Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke PUMMELLED Bush on his mishandling of terrorism and 9/11. Clarke said Bush had ignored warnings about 9/11 and actually TOLD him to "get something on Iraq" even though Clarke and CIA Director Tenet said there was no connection in any way to Iraq over 9/11. The evidence against the Bush Administration is damning.

Response to: Why am I an "Anti-American?" Posted March 22nd, 2004 in Politics

I've been called "anti-American" and even had my family threatened because I opposed George Bush's oil war. Never mind the fact I'm an Honorably Discharged Vet. Anyone who disagrees with Bush's Fascist tactics is "anti-American". Wear it as a badge of honour. I do.

Response to: what the fuck is wrong with people Posted March 22nd, 2004 in Politics

I have to agree with Rver_Warden on this one.

I hate to see that you got hurt just for the way you looked. I know the feeling. I saw a young woman attacked at a prayer vigil. It took myself and 2 other guys to pull the attacker off her and subdue him till the police arrived. I've had my life threatened a few times since Bush's oil war.

If you can, take a personal safety course. Walk in a group, not alone. Get a cell phone and don't hesitate to use it. If nothing else, stay within view of people. And by all means, have an escape route. IF someone is attacking you, yell "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE" That will get more attention than a simple "HELP".

Take care of the wounds. Hope you feel better.

Response to: OH NO!!! Britain is collapsing!!! Posted March 22nd, 2004 in Politics

I know a lot about EOD (explosives) courtesy of the US Military. It doesn't take a large amount of high order explosives to do real damage. In fact, high order explosives don't even necessarily have a loud BANG when they explode.

Have you ever witnessed a building implosion? All you hear is pop, pop, pop and down comes the building. They use strategically placed high order explosives (around the support columns) to implode a building.

I could go into details, but with the state of fear in the US right now, I'd probably be investigated for "giving information to terrorists" if I post it. I really don't need a visit from the FBI, now, do I? LOL

Response to: what happend to sadam? Posted March 21st, 2004 in Politics

They're keeping him under wraps because they don't want him to say anything about how Bush's DADDY and Donald Rumsfeld provided the chemical weapons AND intel to gas the Kurds with. Link here.

Here we have Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam just one MONTH after Saddam had first gassed the Kurds in Panjwin. Link here

It's clear the reason Saddam is being hushed is because he'll tell the world about how Bush's daddy GAVE him the very weapons JR used to villify him.

Response to: Why are Bush rallies so scary Posted March 21st, 2004 in Politics

Bush really doesn't have anything to run on. On 9/11 he sat and listened to kids read at an elementary school as we were attacked, then went and hid like a coward in Nebraska. He launched a war that wasn't necessary and lied to do so. The economy is going down the proverbial toilet. Basically, Bush has been a miserable failure his whole term.

All he has are smears against the opposition and lies (big surprize there). I saw his latest commercial and the entire thing was a 30 second lie.

Watch for an "October Surprize" like Reagan pulled. Perhaps the "capture" of bin Laden. BTW, Bush and the bin Ladens are business partners and DADDY was meeting with the bin Ladens while the WTC was being attacked.

Response to: terrorism or crime Posted March 20th, 2004 in Politics

Terrorism IS a crime. It should always be prosecuted as a crime. No country sanctions it.

Bombing Afghanistan and Iraq was as stupid a notion as bombing California because of the Bloods & Crips or cutting off your nose to spite your face.

What was accomplished by bombing Iraq? Nothing.

Response to: what could w do? Posted March 20th, 2004 in Politics

1: Produce the 58,518,000 pounds of chemical weapons he said Iraq had. EVERY SINGLE GRAM!

2: Show me the delivery systems to use said weapons against the US Mainland.

3: Pull ALL troops out of Iraq IMMEDIATELY.

4: Repeal the ENTIRE PATRIOT Act and restore the 1st Amendment for protesters.

5: FIRE his entire cabinet and replace them with NON-Neocons.

6: Change 100%

In other words, I don't have to worry about voting for THAT monster. In all my 43 years, I have NEVER seen such a lying bastard in office, and I lived through the Nixon years.

Response to: when did you notice bush was.. off? Posted March 20th, 2004 in Politics

Or recall Bush making a joke about the condemned murderer Carla Faye Tucker pleading for her life to the Texas governor. “Please don’t kill me,” Bush whimpered through pursed lips in an imitation of the woman whom Bush had refused clemency.

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2003/012203a.html

It was DISGUSTING. Here, this woman was pleading for her life, and BUSH mocked her. What a guy!

Response to: NO Smoking Please Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

Simple solution. Have smoking restaurants and bars and NON smoking ones. Let the place of business decide which they'll be. If you don't want to be exposed, don't go. Your choice. I thought this was a free country.

Response to: Bush is a Wonderful President Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

Lie about sex=bad

Lie and get THOUSANDS of people killed=GREAT?

Bush should be brought up on WAR CRIMES charges, impeached, and jailed.

Wartime president? Pffft! HE STARTED IT! Bush is an embarrassment to the US. He is an utter FRAUD. BTW I'm a REAL conservative and can't STAND Bush. I'd rather vote for a DOG.

Look what REAL Conservatives say about the weasel

Response to: Designated free speech zones. Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

I can confirm this. I was at a protest in Daytona, FL (Daytona 500)where this happened. The Secret Service cordon off an area far away from the Bush Motorcade and herd protesters into it. This is common practice. We were herded into a fenced area 1/2 of a mile from where Bush would be.

I thought the WHOLE US was a "free speech zone" I guess I was wrong. The 1st Amendment is dead.

From a CONSERVATIVE Magazine, not a liberal one

Response to: The Lies of the Bush Administration Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

Don't forget what he did on 9/11.

Bush sat and listened to kids read about a pet goat for twenty minutes AFTER he learned we were under attack.

Have a look at the vidoe and notice there was no urgency, no concern, he just went on as if nothing had happened. I know the REST of us were glued to the TV and concerned. Why wasn't Bush?

Look at the lack of reaction by Bush, nothing.

Response to: #2 Man Cornered? Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

Believe it when you see it. They're speculating again. I also expect another "October Surprize" of some sort. They're waiting to do something when it will have the greatest political impact. Watch.

Government officials have said the prominent figure might be Zawahri.

But Major-General Sultan said authorities had been unable to determine if Zawahri was actually there.

In RE to Jlop985:

Actually, N Korea DOES have oil reserves. Quite a large amount. They're located around the East Sea (Sea of Japan) Reserves and West Sea (Yellow Sea) Reserves .

See the estimate here

Response to: when did you notice bush was.. off? Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

The day he mocked Carla Faye Tucker as she pleaded for her life. That was when he was still Governor of TX and wasn't running for president yet.

Response to: US tried to plant WMDs, failed Posted March 19th, 2004 in Politics

Ok, one more time.

First, I went to the Google link and saw nothing to convince me of anything.

Second, we are talking about 58,517,800 POUNDS of chemical weapons. That's a LOT to hide. Nothing has been found and the US has occupied Iraq since March? You'd think some would have been found by now. Anything. Yet, nothing, not one gram. I want to see the 58,517,800 POUNDS of chemical weapons. Until I see the 58,517,800 POUNDS of chemical weapons, Bush is lying.

No quarter. I don't want to see a couple grams. I don't want to see a few pounds. I want to see what "real and imminent threat" Iraq was to the USA. IF anyone can show the delivery systems (ICBMs) and chemicals that are/were a threat to the US, I will change my mind. Otherwise, it was a con job.

Response to: US tried to plant WMDs, failed Posted March 18th, 2004 in Politics

Oh JIM? It would be very easy for a Navy Lt Cmdr to have that information, especially if said weapons were being transported on HER ship.

That said, there were 140,000 people scouring Iraq for weapons and facilities. Remember Kay and his team? How about Blix and HIS team? They found nothing, not one gram.

You cannot hide the facilities it would take to produce and store 58,517,800 POUNDS of chemical weapons OR the weapons themselves in a country the size of California so well that not one GRAM has been found, AND the inspectors quit looking out of futility. Why? Because they found NOTHING.

Another thing. WHY didn't Saddam use these weapons as he was being attacked? Wasn't that the reason he would have had them? Isn't the fact he was being ousted enough reason to use these weapons IF he had them?

BTW, my background is in weapons (EOD). I was at the largest WMD facility in North America for 5 years. United States Navy, Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific, then I was transferred to the second largest facility and Trident Sub Base NSB Kings Bay where I worked in the missile warehouses. I know what WMD look like and I know what kind of facilities are required to store them. I looked at and worked with these weapons every day.

Care to argue some more?

Rumsfeld caught lying VIDEO Posted March 18th, 2004 in Politics

Response to: Everyone should fear death Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

I don't fear death. I used to, but not anymore.

I was in a bad accident and had to be revived twice on the way to the hospital, I was clinically dead. I saw what death was like. And yes, the light does appear. It was very peaceful. No fear here.

It also made me realize we should live our lives to the fullest every day and enjoy being. If you're miserable, change things. Life is too short to go through life miserable. Do what makes you happy.

Response to: why is the US anywhere but the US? Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

They don't want to fix the problems. Look at the crime problem. Without crime, lots of people would be out of jobs. Attorneys, cops, jail guards, prison construction, rehab centers, judges......and the list goes on. The reason the war on drugs is still going on is because of this. It's big business.

Now, as for Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. It's a plan that was drawn up by the PNAC in an effort to make the US the world rulers. These people are for American Imperialism and want to control all the oil and other assets of the world. It's a world domination thing.

This is the reason we need to kick Bush out in November. When Bush leaves, so will his PNAC advisors. Look at the Statement of Principles and compare the signatures to Bush's cabinet. You may be surprized.

Response to: US tried to plant WMDs, failed Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

The claims are as follows:

Mustard Gas: 2850 tons
Sarin: 795 tons
VX: 3.9 tons
Tabun: 210 tons
Anthrax: 25,000 tons
Uranium: 400 tons
Plutonium: 6 grams

This estimate was sent to me directly from my Congressman (a neocon) in the run-up to the war because I questioned whether we should go to war with Iraq. A ton = 2,000 lbs. You can't hide that much.

Response to: How Many Bombs Does it take? Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

Very true.

I was responding to him in his own language. People like him only care about the troops (and that's even questionable).

I didn't mean to imply the innocent civilians weren't important. Sorry about that. There's so much wrong with that war, it's hard to discuss on a BBS.

Response to: US tried to plant WMDs, failed Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

Considering how inept they are, it doesn't surprize me in the least. This is the same bunch who failed to heed warnings on 9/11.

Response to: How Many Bombs Does it take? Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

What "job" would that be? Ridding saddam of WMD? It looks like he did that fine all by himself.

Saddam was no threat to anyone. It's obvious now. We could have stayed the course, let the UN continue the inspections, and over 500 of our soldiers would still be alive today.

Iraq was no threat to the US. Saddam had NO connection to 9/11. How can you eben justify going to war when we did? I can't.

Response to: My Solution to The Marriage issue Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

That sounds great to me. Get the Government out of our private lives.

I think the real problem the government has with this is not the union itself, but the benefits that would arise out of the union. Everything's about money. This would affect insurance companies and others who contributed heavily to the politicians.

If there's ever a doubt, follow the money.

Response to: Why are we in haiti? Posted March 16th, 2004 in Politics

It's been argued that the US was involved in a coup de tat on Aristide. That Aristide didn't go willingly, he was kidnapped. Aristide has said this himself.

There is a good article here
