Um? I think I already asked that about unleashing Israel on Koreas A** and that would be interesting? No responses to it- So I believe you phrased it more eleqoquently than I.
Please Quit trying to be a bully and dare people to meet you at the dairy queen, if ed shows up , he proable will have his confederate flag, his bacca juice, and walking stick- ( parapharasing the ridiculous insults from earlier posts).
Hell, the dairy queen is ran by foreigners...that is a bad situation.
If you want to debate, go to the jailhouse, at least you can be patted down before you two go at it.....
No I am not white trash either, before you go off on me. However, I like my confederate flag,and don't eat bacca, and in fact drive a 4x4 pickup truck when i am not tooling around in my sports car. Its in our blood, we are southern- its a shame that the rest of the world does not really get to experience the true meaning of southern morals and hospitatlity-you have to be born into it.
On another note, I thank you for your service to our country if you served and wish you a happy 4th.

chooch - israel = united states. the u.s. has total influence over israel because we arm them. we advised them on their nuclear weapons capabilities. we provide them the same weapons we use at magnificently discounted prices, and sometimes for free. we can get israel to do whatever we want them to do simply by regulating how many guns we decide to give them. israel would not exist without the u.s.
and hey maybe some of you guys aren't so bad after all...rob I see you like beer, and thats one of my favorite past times. and ed actually wants someone to be safe and happy for the holiday, even if its just for one day and even if he doesn't understand why we celebrate the fourth of july.

The coup has been condemned almost universally outside Honduras, including by unanimous vote Tuesday by the U.N. General Assembly. Mexico and Colombia’s conservative governments joined the region’s leftist leaders in condemning Zelaya’s removal. Sweden announced Thursday that all European Union ambassadors have abandoned the Honduran capital. The U.S. joined 33 other countries in an emergency session of the Organization of American States to demand Zelaya’s reinstatement. Roberto Micheletti has been president of Honduras just shy of four days. His presidency has been recognized by just two countries in the whole world. France, Spain and Italy have recalled their ambassadors.
But Obamma is siding with Chavez, Ortega, and Castro. Interesting perspective there Al.

I just read the story about the need for an animal shelter and how the animal control is going to work. I agree that we need a permanent shelter. The next question is who will work there? Why not let the inmates at the county jail take care of the animals? Or those ordered to do community service? I mean you don't need a degree to clean up dog poop and put food and water in a few bowls, twice a day. Heck I am sure there are even guys in the jail who would know how to build the shelter! Go to the local home stores and see if any will donate supplies. This is a community after all, and as a community we should pull together to make sure this cost the tax payers as little as possible. I believe we need animal control. I have had at least a dozen dogs ditched on my property and out of that dozen PAR would only take one, and he was dying. Just yesterday a stray cat that PAR wouldn't help died in my basement from having a litter of kittens when she was too small to do so. PAR wouldn't help with her either, nor would they help with a wonderful stray dog that was left on my father’s property. A dog that would be adopted in a heartbeat if people could see it. My point being is PAR doesn't do anything for this community. I adopted a dog from PAR, when I paid for the dog I was told all shots would be paid for and the dog would be made healthy when I picked him up from the Vet after getting fixed. I got a call from the vet saying he had worms and needed his rabies shot. I told them to tell PAR, that they were supposed to make sure all his shots were up to date when I picked the dog up. Well guess who backed out of paying for the shots and de worming?? I ended up paying for it but I will NEVER again donate to PAR or adopt from PAR again. I paid 100.00 for my dog at PAR and another 60.00 to the vet. The county animal shelter could charge half of that adoption fee and still do more for the animals around here. Also you know there are many people who would volunteer to work at the shelter a few hours a week, myself included. People are putting to high a cost on animal control, but there are many ways around those costs. Also you can hold a food drive at the local stores for the animal food. People want to help, but they like to know where their money is going. By having them purchase the food they know it is going to the animals, not into someone’s pocket.

Here you go again Old Guard.
Two investigations were done by the Navy on the sinking of the Maine. The 1st investigation was completed a month after the sinking, the second in 1911 after the Maine had been raised. BOTH investigations concluded that a mine exploded beneath the Maine’s hull. The coal bunker theory was postulated in the late 1970’s by a couple of so called experts that never saw the Main! What you are talking about is not “history” but an attempt to re-write history! Did they teach you at Yale that we went to war with Cuba? Wow, I wonder why Teddy Roosevelt charged his Rough Riders up San Juan Hill in Puerto Rico and why they call it the Spanish American war? I guess there is just another great American conspiracy there somewhere.
You miss the whole argument on the Gulf of Tonkin. The 1st incident was not provoked and not denied. The ship was in international waters and had been tracked by radar. It was the 2nd incident on August 4th that is questioned and at the time the Captain of the Navy ship reported that they had been ambushed.
The Germans were developing weapons, not unmanned trips to space. It is foutunate that we got some of the better German scientiests after the war!
More and more, I am convinced you have no degree in history from Yale or anywhere else. You simply have a blame America 1st bias and you never met a conspiracy theory you didn’t like
Keep this up and you will be considered a "pinto" and treated accordingly.

I have some thoughts about the middle east and would like to see what other people think... Nothing to do with WMD's or past administration's etc.
1.) I think the U.S. exerts some influence over the actions or inactions that Israel takes at times. It's only logical. Am I correct?
2.) What do any of you think would happen if we did not have that control over Israel if my thought about influence is correct?
3.) Would Israel retaliate with overly aggressive methods such as chemical or even nuclear weapons to those who's agenda is to wipe them off the face of the earth or provoke them by launching more missile attacks at them, or would they simply show restraint and institute more sanctions?
4.) I think that Israel has sufficient military power to handle any situation that might arise if attacked on every border they have. Simply put, I think Israel has enough military might to turn the whole area into little more than a giant sandbox. I also believe they would do it without even blinking an eye.
See nothing accusatory. Just curious about what perspectives are out there.

Marine,
From what I've read on here, Ed is always right or at least he thinks he is.
Truth be known, history books have a lot of errors in them. Many of them led to a war. For example, the USS Maine was destroyed by an explosion in her own coal bunker (Cuba not at fault but we fought them) and the Gulf of Tonkin attack was a provoked incident (The US harrassed them until they shot at us). Our own rocket program, that took us to the moon, is in the history books as an US achievement but the German's were far advanced of our little bottle rockets of the 40's and had the design for the Saturn V in 1942 (called the V-10)
If we were in the time of Galileo, Ed would be telling everyone the earth was flat and not round (and he would have proof!!)

I agree with ignoring an invitation to meet "after school". You never know what these nuts have on their minds. One of my former employees in Florida met a guy from a blog in front of Walmart in Apopka last year. The guy brought a knife and attacked my guy. My man, a former Marine with a CCW permit was armed so he defended himself, and lost his job as part of the outcome. Why? He admitted to having the pistol in his car at work--violation of company policy. Of course the whole thing should have been avoided.

For a little while there I thought you were just making up stuff like Pinto does or I thought maybe you were Pinto! However, I did a little more research. In the future you should be a little more careful when you decide to “cut and paste”. John Dean who actually wrote the article that you posted a portion of simply has his facts wrong! http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20030606.html
Maybe the rest of the article is true but I am not going to waste any more of my time. Besides, this is also old stuff that we know came from faulty intelligence. That is why I wanted you to give us your definition of the term “lie”. Do you believe that statements made based on faulty intelligence are lies?

I'm not aligning myself with anyone. I'm too much of radical in my convictions.
I also do not recall implying nor stating the military action our country is involved in was not going to happen eventually, or that removing Hussien was not required, or that removing Hussien was not justified. My position has been , and will remain the same.
1.) We are involved in the middle east because of oil. If we did not need it, the United States would not be involved in Middle Eastern Affairs any more than we are involved in Darfur or Etiopia. The intent of U.S. involvement in Middle Eastern Affairs is to insure the flow of oil continues uninterrupted, because it is in the best interest of America. Hmmmm........... my perspective is different.. Lets find another way so we don't need oil.
2.) My government and its members have a habit of telling half truths, outright lies, and use deception to sway people to support the sometimes disastrous policies they think America needs. Some of our elected representitives have in the past deliberately deceived the American people. To not question what it is they are doing at any given time would be a momentous error in judgement. Unchecked, without oversight, without questioning, my government has shown there is not much it will not do. What the people think or want does not matter.
3:) The last administration deceived the American people about WMD's and ties to Al Qaudi. These were the primary reasons the Administration touted we had to go back. The removal of Saddam Hussein from his dictatorship was also a goal. If we did not need to insure the flow of oil is not interrupted was never used to sell the American public on war., but that is what it is about.
4.) The resources and funds utilized and spent to kill each other could have just as well been spent on research and development of alternatives as opposed to the U.S. remaining dependent on foreign oil sources.
That is my position. Those are my thoughts. Some don't like it. That's not my problem, that's your problem.
I try to debate in a civil and respectful manner, and readily admit tact is not my forte'. Nor is restraint when disrespected because I have an opinion.

I wonder how long this discussion about Iraq's weapons will go on, but there is a bottom line, as Marine pointed out. No matter what conspiracy theory you become attached to it is a damn good thing we became involved and rid the world of an out of control, evil dictator who happens to sit on huge oil fields. The mere implication that we attacked a meek, defenseless nation is absolute garbage. There were so many factors that went into the WMD intel, or lack thereof that corrupted the information we used to make decisions (which has been tiresomely discussed here) that it is easy for the layperson to deduce from it what he wants to believe or what will help his cause. If you don't think intel is used to gain power, you are kidding yourself, but what would be our situation, globally speaking, if we had done nothing regarding Iraq? If you don't believe Iraq was and is an al Quada safe-house, enjoy the view from your sand helmet. Most politicians have no concept of what this nation is supposed to be anymore. Too many are doing what Washington and Franklin warned us about. What we all should be screaming about is Obama's war on Americans and capitalism. The "climate change" bill (remember it started as global cooling in the 70's and 80's, then global warming, and now since the EPA's own data indicates temps have been falling since 2001... we have "climate change" which will destroy the planet! -Thanks to us evil Americans and our carbon emissions)
People like Robert Byrd who have been in congress longer than Castro has been president of Cuba who think you are all to stupid to take care of yourselves now want to tax you to the poorhouse to fix a made-up problem. At the same time, they will give you another proven failure-socialized health care. And just in-- a NEW consumer protection agency! More government. All during the worst economic times we have ever seen. AND all while we continue to receive credible threats from enemy countries around the world.
It does so much good for everybody to continue to blame Bush for everything they see wrong with this country. This way, you won't have to be bothered with what is and will come out of Washington in the PRESENT and FUTURE. People were SO ready to elect Obama, not knowing a damn thing about his intentions, to "do what he sees fit". Well, that is what makes a socialist or a dictator. Not a president of the United States. We really need to pay attention to this.
Disagree with why we took back Iraq for them? Deal with it and best of luck to you. I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment... we ALL do.
