Osama bin Laden himself was involved in the plot, which was to be carried out by Southeast Asian men on the assumption that they would not arouse as much suspicion as Middle Easterners, Mr. Bush told the National Guard Association here. "Their plot was derailed in early 2002, when a Southeast Asian nation arrested a key Al Qaeda
Mr. Bush said that just a month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, terrorists planned to hijack another airplane by using "shoe bombs" to breach the cockpit door. Their target, had the hijacking been carried out, would have been the U.S. Bank Tower, the president said. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/09/poli
The problem with these investigations is, we have the fox guarding the henhouse. Take the Senate inquiry into pre-war Iraq intelligence for example. What ever happened to Phase II of the investigation? It’s stalled by the republican congress because they know the outcome is going to make the Bush administration look bad. If we had a Democratic administration doing all the things the Bush administration is doing, there would have been impeachments and dozens of indictments by now.
King was a political leader and spent her life pushing a political agenda, so what better way to memorialize her than to promote some of her ideas and to point out some of the abuses of power in Washington today? I’d say it was perfectly fitting.
Every one of you that are so quick to jump on President Bush saying he did something illegal? WHY are you not jumping on the person who leaked this "highly" classified info in the first place? That IS illegal! What exactly is so classified about what the N.Y. Times printed? The fact that the Bush admin
It’s interesting how so many of the right-wingers here at JU are speaking out against the Muslim culture of violence and hatred when 97% of the Iraqis we “liberated” from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein are Muslims, many with the same tendency towards hatred and violence. With the current cost of the Iraq war approaching 240 BILLION dollars and costs when we’re finished with this mess estimated at 2 TRILLION dollars, not to mention all the casualties, what the hell are we doing over there?
Most people couldn't give a rat's ass what Julian Bond has to say.
Financial aid to students is an investment. College graduates generally earn far more than those without a degree and therefore pay more in taxes. Everybody wins.
If you have a reason for not liking him, please back it up. I guess I dislike him for the same reason some people here like him. He makes up his mind and forms opinions without becoming fully informed or listening to contrary points of view. Dissenting opinions aren't welcomed in his administration and there is no honest debate. He has no intellectua
No text should be needed given the current 'run' of bashing articles that all seem to -- yet again -- blame everything that ails anything, anyone, everything and everyone on Pres. Bush. The sun isn't shining. Must blame Bush. { no logical way to argue this either way, and yet the automaton troll would try if there wa
Most liberals are committed to the environment not only to protect the planet but to research alternatives for practical reasons, such as incentives for entrepreneurship and creating new jobs. I'd say most Democrats are committed to protecting the environment, not just liberals. Bush is going to talk about alternative fuels in his Stat
But one of the parties is starting to fracture, and fracture badly. So far it is merely cracks, but some of the leading politicians in that party are now taking up the mantra of the extreme part of their party, while others, the more pragmatic ones, try to remain close to the center and hold on to the extreme fringe. The fracture is coming from the r
I guess Bush is just too unsubtle and ham-handed about it maybe, because she says he lies "in a bubble". She does not find his lies endearing. Know how to tell when Bush is lying? He's moving his lips.
Maybe it is guided my Parties but one camp I see is Reveling in America's new use of power and strong arm tactics. I think it’s more a question of competence. Many Americans supported our going into Iraq originally when we heard the Bush administration’s rational, but then when no WMDs turned up, we started questioning their actions. It appeared that
I disagree with Hansen, but he should be allowed to speak his mind. Unless he has been instructed to represent the administration's view on such matters - then he would need to acquiesce or quit if he can't do so with a comfortable conscience. There are differences between one's personal views and one's official duties at times.<
pov·er·ty n. 1. The state of being poor; lack of the means of providing material needs or comforts. Nice try though. It's a common technique used by neocons to rename things in order to promote their agenda. Bush's "Clean Skies Act" was really an act to relax pollution restrictions. Bush's move to "SAVE Social Security" was really an move to destroy Social Security. Bush renamed the inheritance tax to "death" tax, so people would be against it.
It all appears to be a dog and pony show to appease the base. The base that for the last 5 years has had but one agenda. Hate Bush. What base? The majority of the democrats are against Alito but it's only the radical fringe that is calling for a filibuster. Kerry has no credibility. After all, he couldn't
Yes it is called the Road Map to peace. Israel has no right to occupy the West Bank and to do so will perpetuate the unrest. CNN is reporting violence has begun between Fatah and Hamas. The worst thing would be a civil war between these two factions as a result of the election. Hell, let them fight
So who gets hurt when you deny the market place? The lesson here, is your Constituents. This Wal-Mart is being built in the south side of Chicago (just outside city limits), which is the poor side of town, so it's understandable that they got so many applications. Building a Wal-Mart in places like this isn't going to hurt the communities and may inde
Yesterday 78 % of the Palestinian voters provided proof that the Bush Policy of "spreading democracy" is not the way to end the terrorism. Bush's policy of bullying nations promotes terrorism. Iranians saw what we did to Iraq and as a result, voted in a raving lunatic because they felt he would stand up to t
Rumsfeld came out today and said it was all a lie, even though it was a non-partisan report commissioned by the Pentagon.
It seems that I can always count on getting a different perspective on things when I come to JU. You've been victimized and lost jobs because you work too hard. Interesting. I've never worked for a company that didn't appreciate hard work except for maybe a factory job I had in my late teens. Here’s my job and education progression from age 16 to present:<BR
Republicans have control of the House, the Senate, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Branch. So why on earth are you whining about democrats? Oh, yeah... It's because you're fucking everything up.
This is pathetic. Bush and company were so out of touch, they weren't even aware of information being broadcast on CNN. The sheep here at JU are once again spinning the facts and shifting the blame. Bush is never to blame for anything in their eyes.
The 60,000 jobs at GM and Ford are just the latest example of what is taking place. This morning Chrysler announced they will cut 20,000 jobs. YES the economy is just GREAT! FOR WHOM? These layoffs really aren’t an indicator of the state of the economy. I heard a spokesman from Ford whining a few days ago a
