Enron anyone?????
Another example of how money is thrown around by people who are saying at the same time, we are in trouble... Sounds like our candidates and their Millions wasted on this campaign..
We need change blah blah blah... People are going hungry Blah Blah Blah.... why dont you send 300million to them then Senator!!!!
Seems those with money cry about how others are not helping the poor man all the while not sharing their large bank rolls......

Stable is not a country fighting inside its own border...
Selective reading isnt reading....
The operation was carefully planned and included identifying villages in rebel held areas, declaring these villages and surrounding areas "prohibited" and authorizing the killing of any person or animal found in these areas
To hold an area would mean to control it....
Say what you want and show some facts that show Iraq had 100% control of the country at any time and Ill believe you, but every article states the fact Iraq has always been in war with others and with its self.
As for the wandering comment I misspoke, I should of said after Turkey was given its borders, the PKK decided it wanted to take over the lower part of Turkey, but because they have no real military force they just wander across the border and do ambush attacks... Sorry Proffesor
Thanks Proffesor for the lecture on what I should know or not, but I think I will believe the articles (news reports, histories,etc) from the rest of the world over a guy typing on a Japanese rag mag.... Sorry if that offends you but I try never to just take someones word for it..

I knew you stood off of center on politics, but I didnt know you had such a "ghetto" view of police officers, bombing buildings, and causing terror on innocent people who worked in those buildings. Based on what you say then because OBL didnt actually do the attacks on all those innocents, or he was targeting what he considered to be combantants that he isnt a terrorist and he shouldnt be brought to justice... You cant have it two differnet ways..
Once a terorist always a terrorist, once you kill you are a killer, it doesnt matter if you did it when young or old... In 2004 he and his present wife said they wish they would of bombed more buildings, so he and she still feels that it was all right to do....
Please dont think I care if Obama sleeps with this guy or not, but to call this guy anything other then the thug terrorist he was is just foolish.. dont defend the idiot he did what he did and has to live with that label his whole life.
Maybe you should ask the wife and kids of the police officer that was killed if they feel he is a terrorist....?

Yawn USAkuma Yawn...
He has single-handedly destroyed the economy(Reps want to blame Dems during Clinton's time, but Bush had 8 years to notice and didn't) Cant call something single handed when 536 other people are involved in running the country.. it just is a stupid statement.
Im no Bush fan and I didnt vote for him, but you cant blame everything on one guy, sorry but all those other guys have more voting power then him..
Funny I reread my post and in my post I was countering those who say Bill Ayers isnt a terrorist. I never said Bush was anything and I also defended Obama that Obama wasnt a terrorist, but your post reflects what I said before,,,, if Obama didnt have Bush to talk about he wouldnt even be a candidate, his whole platform is bashing Bushes just like yours...
Bush sucks get over it.. Instead of watching your rear view mirror you all should be looking at the windshield, maybe you would see the the Candidates we have running right now are no better then what we are leaving....... Everyone says the one group is trying to distract the voter but hell its both groups doing it so no one will actually pay attention to what is the real problems.......
Flame your self silly, but if you actually took ten minutes of non partisan view you would see both of these two are so full of it they smell.... Basing your vote on either of them is voting for a group of people who have to twist the truth to win...

Enjoy your vote, but it isnt a vote for change its a vote for change of face not policy... one man doesnt change anything in Washington...... other then a new tenant in the white house....

to be a stable would mean he controlled the whole country and he didnt..
also stable is the term I use when I decribe countries that dont do genocide on its people and are not always in a war on their borders, what happens inside the country at that time might be great but it wasnt a stable country nor a stable goverment.
here is some history for you since you seems out of sorts on it http://meria.idc.ac.il/journal/2002/issue4/jv6n4a5.html

Kurds have been attacking Turkey since they wondered into it way before the iraq war... So what does the war in Iraq have to do with it?
Becarful when you say shame on Turkey for defending its borders... Its no differnet then any other country defending its borders..
To stabalize a country that has never been stable (even when Sadumb was in charge the Kurds still ruled the north) is not possible.

Sezwho2 Your grasping at straws... The man attacked with bombs buildings, the fact people didnt die in all the attacks does not make it non terrorist attack. Terrorist if you read the wiki also says to cause terror.. If you had your work blow up one night you would have terror..
The you was all those who say well he didnt kill people blah blah blah... The fact is he did terror activities and therfore is a terrorist.. If you rape a woman you are a rapist, it doesnt matter if you did it 20 years ago or not......
There is nothing misleading about calling ayers a terrorist...
Only thing misleading is trying to say he didnt hurt anyone, or it was long ago, blah blah blah... He did it, he was brought to court for it, he admitted it, and he was a terroist....

This would not be a "nail in the coffin" for a white man. If you would bother reading the truth as printed by the Associated Press, you would know that Palin is just trying to smear Obama. If you look at the poles, you can understand the GOP's desperation. **(I have read the truth and it is as it is he has been working with and was helped by Ayers, Ayers is a terrorist and that is fact)****
This is unrelated to Obama's race. Obama is not popular because of his race. He's popular because his message reverberates in our hearts. (it isnt part of the race thats true, Obama isnt popular because of his message as he doesnt have one he has a democrated based message (96% vote record), he is doing well because of people not liking Bush period..)
If GWB was a Democrat? Do you mean, "What if there is Democratic President with an under 30% approval rating whose policy has resulted in thousands and thousands of death and hurt the image of the US?"
Then yes, Obama would be popular now.(Obama wouldnt have a following if a Democrate had done what Bush did to say other wise is just foolish, his whole campain is based on we are in this because of Bush)
What if GWB was a great President?
What if, what if.. gee, it would have no relation to Obama, wouldn't it?(actually it would, if the party in control does well and you have a good candidate(McCain is actually a good candidate) then usually they win the following election unless your name is Gore)
I hope this wasn't too difficult to grasp. (actually it was since Im looking at it from a nontainted view, unlike those who see things from the political edge maybe I will buy a set of rose colored glasses and see this candidate as something more then just another Political game player)
Dont get me wrong I want to have change, I think Bush is an Idiot, I think Obama has many good points, I also see McCain has good points, But that has nothing to do with why we have to change the history of a terrorist in order to make a candidate seem cleaner... I dont think Obama is a terrorist, I think he just likes those with an extreme view, same as McCain just the other extreme.

Also based on the comments of the above people, if you meet someone like Ayers 20 years after he did terrorist acts you wont hear him talk about how he thinks violence is the way to get a political point across? Did Bill forget his principle ideas? I still remember what I was taught 20 years ago and still todoy believe in my core values. Why is it because he didnt go to jail it would mean he changed his views? Allot of you call this war the second vietnam, seems if Avery felt that way back then he might feel that way now...

talk about wrapping a turd in pretty paper.... Bill Ayers is a terrorist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism
from a left sided rag http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2169
If we follow some of your ideas what is terror, you have to kill many and get charged (which means you have to go to court and be found guilty) and cant be a free man because of an error. So OJ isnt a murderer, OBL isnt a terrorist, and all those who kill people for a political cause isnt a terrorist...
Obama isnt a terroist hes the next worse thing-------- a Politician.....they kill millions and rob everyone blind and yet you still pay them and call them the next savior....

Now if Obama was a white man and running for president,would this be a nail in his political coffin.... What about this.... if GWB was a democrate instead of a Republican (same record and all) would Obama even be considered for the office? What if GWB was a great president and didnt mess up so much, then would Obama even be know at all in the political world...
Truthfully I have to say the situation has made him a candidate to most not his ability or his history.... Think about it, most of the Obama lovers where saying he is worthless and Hillary was the star not too long ago......

Readers can refer to the following link for the facts on the continuous stream of Republican lies and distortions regarding Senator Obama's tax proposals.
To make it fair why dont you point out the Obama lies on heathcare??

budda4brains Nippon5 The irony of calling others who differ from you "sheep" is that you sound like one yourself.
Only those who know they are sheep would assume that Im talking to them... I never said those who differ from me, I said those who follow others without looking into the facts. Those who post statements based on proven lies from a political source are sheep. Sorry truth bothers some and irony would be if I followed a group and I dont...

If you actually read the writtings on the wall neither of them are for Universal health care. Obama wants to increase the federal low income health care system while retaining the employeer insurance system that is in place now, problem with this system is it still wont cover any more then is covered now since almost every state already has thiese programs in place and people just are to proud or stupid to use them. McCain doesnt want to privitize health care so everyone has to get their own heathcare. He wants to give the tax break so that people can buy their own plans if they cant get it through the employeer. His plan will not cover everyone either for the same problem. McCains adds money to spend money and Obamas just spends money and has no way of recouping the money. Neither plan is that good and both are lying about what the others plan will or will not do...
Politics as usual... to many sheep on here........

Since neither of them told the truth on the facts and figures they posted, and they both answered the questions with their preplanned over used statements aimed at defacing the other and not really answering the question. I cant judge the debate on the ability to answer questions.
I have to say that she (Palin) (just for Cleo Biden is an avid hunter and has been on hunts for big game, and instead of raising his children after his wife died he stayed in congress, so you dont like him now either_? veg heads are so foolish some times, go eat a steak and calm down) did very well considering her past performances, but over all Biden was more refined and comfortable giving out his not actual facts then palin was, so I say as a whole Biden was better.. If you base it on what was expected by people then Palin won.
Just so you know people who live in the area around Canada have that way of talking, havent you ever seen Fargo? Its not hick talk its just the dialect in that area...As far as hockey being expensive it is but I know allot of single mothers who have low income and have children playing on teams....
Summary over all Biden was the better debater, neither had any information to give (same old lies and mis information), and palin did 1000% times better then the people thought she would..

Problem 1: Your boss, absolute ruler of the nation, is ex-KGB.
Problem 2: Roughly 52 billion US dollars in private capital has fled your country since you invaded a fledgling democracy rekindled fears of a new cold war.
Course of action: Blame the United States.

there should be a campaign to educate old people that the crime-free Japan they thought they had is gone forever
Scamming old folks isnt a Japanese thing, its a world thing.. As people get older they try hard not to seem they are getting older, so if they dont remember a face or a name they try to act like they do so no one will think they are forgetting, or they just dont remember well. Blaming it on the old folks is like blaming a newborn for what its mother does, it just isnt right. I have seen both of my grandmothers get scammed by someone (one was a stranger the other was a family member) and they just didnt understand that the person was taking advantage of them, not before not during and not after...... Its truely sad that people prey on the weak, but it is the way of most predators......
