Obama met Gaddafi at a G8 summit, he didnt go to Libya to sell US arms as your neocon heros did. If they did achieve their goal then US arms would be targeting US pilots potentially. That is the neocon policy strategy for you. Suck up to dictators that you like by giving them WMDs until you do not like them. Like Rumsfeld kissing up to Saddam years ago and providing weapons he used on his own people. Ouch right back at you.
Hope the neocons learn their lessons on the right way, the Obama way, to wage a war to remove a dictator, not the way it was done in Iraq which destroyed the country, cost trillions and killed thousands of American lives. Ouch, that one really must hurt. Truth does that.

2 years ago three neo-con senators were in Libya kissing up. LIberman was one of them.
This is from a wikileaks memo which is online. Maybe McCain, Lieberman and Graham should contribute to the bounty, each chip in another million or so. They were clearing the path for Libya to get US weapons.

Was it brave of this man to kidnap his own son and take his boy away from his mother?
People are delusional on this matter. The father should be in jail and would be if the boy was from another family.

Lets bring back Mori, he was a real corker.
Yes, its September and Japan has a new temporary PM. Just like clockwork.
Kan was probably the best PM in the last 15 years. At least he was not corrupt like most of the pols are.

Kan could not get Ozawa out of the DPJ, it was impossible. And now of course Ozawa gets to pick the next PM. Hatapopo is a joke, no one takes him seriously at all. Ozawa controls Japan now, as was his dream for many decades.
The only good thing one can say is that the LDP is much, much worse. That party is why Japan is fading so badly. Example, letting Tepco do whatever it wanted for decades without concern for safety.

This is a good transfer mechanism for the richer older generations to give to those that are following that cannot find a decent job. Its like an estate tax except only one thief profits.

Thanks TEPCO for not preparing for what scientists knew was inevitable and thanks LDP for letting TEPCO do whatever they wanted to do for decades. Thousands of people will suffer radiation poisoning further reducing the population of Japan, why, greed for profits and zero concern for people. That is the LDP formula.

Thanks again to the US tea party financial terrorists who started this whole market slide by taking the US debt to near default. The news today is the same as before but the tea party terrorists dented confidence in the US economy and now investors are punishing the tea party actions.
Honestly, republicans screw up everything they touch. Its a tradition now.

He reads, which is more than the previous PM who only looked at Manga.
Those posters who think any of the last five PMs would have handled this TEPCO disaster better are not in touch with reality. Kan, as an outsider, did the best anyone could given the long term corruption between the LDP and the nuclear industry that lead to the meltdowns. Its like blaming Obama for the bush depression.

These dogs are a threat to society and should be banned, as in the UK. People who want to own these types of dangerous dogs should be arrested and forced to live with each other as punishment.
No right to own a violent dog takes precedence over the life of a child. Clearly, you cannot have both as weekly reports from around the world indicate.

Much ado about nothing. Romney won this poll last time and he lost. Iowan republicans are loons who vote voted for the Huckster last time in large numbers.
Bachman was stunned by the submit to your husband question if she were President. Either she believes in the bible or she does not, no matter if she is elected. She does so therefore her husband, unelected, would run the country if he so chooses. She would merely be a puppet. Like bush was for the oil companies.
As the economy gets worse after the tea bagger financial terrorism, even mainstream republicans are rejecting the tea bagger strategy, Americans will realize that as bush did before the republicans will only screw things up again and force the democrats to again clean up the huge messes they make. Like unfunded wars without end or purpose, huge tax cuts for the rich while letting the middle class die and descend into poverty and mixing church with state to corrupt both. The republicans have no one, maybe other than Huntsman, who is credible at all. They are all losers and will destroy the country even more with one of their own again in the Whitehouse. Americans and the world does want another republican depression, only the tea party types want that.

Perry's prayers not being answered.
The whole god thing in the republican is ridiculous, each of the candidates claims to be be chosen by god to be president. Either they are deluded or god is playing a cruel joke on them all. Like with Perry, he thinks prayer is the answer to the problems in texas. He prays for rain and the state gets dryer. July was the hottest month every in Texas (of course there is no climate change going on). Then Perry prays for the economic welfare of the US with 30,000 fellow rubes and the next business day the stock market goes down by over 600 points. God indeed does seem to have a sense of humor, the joke of course is on the republicans.

Best question of the event, would Crazy Legs Bachman submit to her husband if she were President. Answer, total dodge about submittal being respect. Face it, if she did win her husband who looks to be an in the closet poofer would be running the country. LIke when Nancy ran the country while Reagan was senile, about 70 percent of his time in office.

The clear winner tonight, Obama. Maybe Perry since he was not there did not come off like an idiot as most did tonight. This is the best the republicans can do? Only Huntsman is normal. The rest are either batty or in the case of bachman scary. She looks like she is about to bite you in the neck most of the time. Santorum, thank god no one takes him seriously. He was an awful senator and would be worse than bush as president, if that is even possible. His idiotic statements about polygamy for example, he said some states were proposing that. Maybe he meant Utah where Mitt and Huntsman are from?

there are too many dogs now in Japan, especially these yappy genetically misfit ones. Most owners are responsible but many are not, dog crap everywhere, dogs off leach terrorizing kids or others. Dogs off their leach in crowded parks should be shot.

This should be done in US, where the Breivik kid killer picked up most of his text for his web posting. Start with Beck and LImbaugh as they are hate mongers of the worse sort.

Typical of republicans to create the problem and then blame others for the consequences. They act like children really. The bush wars, the bush depression, the tea party insanity, the spineless republican leadership to cannot put country first is what has caused the market crash. Basically its financial terrorism by the republicans. The markets are dropping now more than after OBL attached the USA. Republicans must feel proud that they are damaging their country financially more that OBL did ten years ago.
