The generals told Bush what was required to secure Iraq and he did not listen. That's a General, not Generals. If you have more info on this, again I ask provide a link.

apparently the press has finally decided to start doing its job again. What, release secret information to the general public and our enemies with no repercussions? If that's their job, we need to start throwing them into those prisons. They should start doing their job by reporting fa

Gen Franks prepared Op Plan 1003 which was the invasion of Iraq. That plan is described in, "Plan of Attack" and on page 96 " Phase Four - stabilizing an occupied Iraq.

The US must learn from France in Politics JoeUser Forums

For the last 13 days French cities and now other European cities are suffering from riots. The rioters are mostly from first, second or even third generation emigrants. A large portion of those first generation emigrants and parents of the naturalized second/third generations were illegal emigrants from North African and other Middle Eastern countries. They came for jobs and other economic opportunities, but they where not allowed to assim

Asked on TF1 television whether the army should be brought in, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said, “We are not at that point.” Here in the US our President was tarred and feathered by the international media and the US Media for not calling out the Army. But I guess the standards are different for France.

It maynot be "hidden" in the technical sense.

In 1776 we went to war with the most powerful nation at that time to end policies that most Americans did not accept - those of George III (another George) and the English Parliment.

I would not bet the farm on a conviction. I'm not going to bet on this one. But it is the jury who will untimely decide.

No, it's NOT a joke. Lying before a federal grand jury wasn't a joke when Clinton did it, and it's NOT a joke now...especially when the liar happens to be experienced in law (as were BOTH Clinton and Libby). The "outing" of Valerie Plame may well go down as one of the biggest NON stories of this administration, but IF Libb

Reply to Where's the harm? U.S. Investigates Sale of MREs on eBay in Current Events JoeUser Forums

There are two major reasons for preventing or investigating the sale of MREs. 1. Health and legal reasons. The MRE has a shelf life that appears on the boxed case, but not on the individual package. Without the box, people can and do get sick from eating old MREs that they have bought from an Army Surplus store. These same people then sues the US Government. It has happened, and the Government paid six million dollars. Every time I see a MRE being sold in a Surplus store that is a

Saddam was not linked to attacking the US. That is pure BS. Cover your eyes all you want. But I would believe attempting to assassinate a President of the United States, giving free medical aid to people attacking US soldiers/civilians (while his own people are denied medical help) and shooting at international forces preventing him from causing

What do you think America would do is another country sent fighter aircraft over the US? The big difference here Gene is that the US did not lose in a war, then promised in a armistice not to fire on the international forces sent to prevent ethnic cleansing. Which Saddam did attempted on the Southern

Also, if they're being encouraged to build new refining capacity somewhere (which they are, although good luck finding an actual place to do it), that'll probably cost them at least $1 billion by the time all's said and done (licenses, fees, approvals, rezonings, battles with the NIMBY crowd, etc).

Count 1: The Iraq war was a crime of aggression. It is only a war of aggression if the UN does not approve it. The UN approved this war twice.
