NATO did invoke Article 6 (?) immediately after 9/11, the only time in its history. But the US didn't want their help, we'd do it alone and their participation would just slow us down. It was only upon recognition the job would be much more difficult that Afghanistan was handed…

Ummm

Until Charles finds his own Asian prince, Queen Charlemagne can be seen on TV and in YouTube clips finding them for the rest of us.

No offense, I'm sure Charles means well and I wish him luck but this is really one service that he's providing that I really…

But should the policy of these low prices be applied to wasteful home heating/cooling and industrial use as well? I suppose you will say 'Yes', because that's good for the economy. (Uhh, who said that before?). I can see where "we" are "not the same".

Superlib did a…

Sez,

Thank you. Nice post in response to my position.

To be honest with you, I think McCain is a decent person who has run a decent campaign and I give the man credit for that. I also think Obama is a decent person who has run a decent campaign…

SEz,

Wrong about this.

This ad by Obama could have focused entirely on his own plans, but as the article points out, it was a direct response to an ad in which McCain "wasted" a similar amount of time suggesting that Obama only intones "no" to energy solutions and does…

Sez,

First 14 seconds of the ad call McCain a Washington insider, has him and Bush holding hands together (subtle tie-in there). And tells us he voted with Bush 95 percent of the time. Pretty much wasted 14 seconds when he could have spent flushing out his own policy better.…

Sez,

Your point may be valid, but I haven't seen any negative attack ads that Obama has run.

Here it is the actual Ad the article refers to. It's a negative attack ad pure and simple. I wish he would have stayed with his pledge to take the high road…

Sez,

It's a spoof, but pretty darn funny no matter what your politics are. My point though about Obama making a pledge not to run any negative attack ad's and then runs one is valid though. For the record I think both McCain and Obama's energy plans stink. Nowhere near…
