		<description>&lt;strong&gt;no..i do not believe that tapping into the phonelines would have prevented the 9/11 attacks it might have helped us but there are other big factors that pretty much did it..however it is indeed clintons fault all the way. now, heres the reason: if he wasnt so stupid trying to defend his so called touchless reputation with the monica lewinsky contraversy when he actually did do it. we had bin laden right where we wanted him and all we needed was clintons permission. but no he was too busy defending his stupid reputation with monica lewinsky. and plus, there is one more reason, in october of 2000, terrorists had bombed the USS Cole. oh and president bush has to share some of the shameful credit as well because bush didn&#039;t bother to pick up on the problem after clinton had left office. so there for it is pretty much clintons fault.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

__________________

Good for you! This is exactly what your spineless governement wants you and ever other activist to do so the NSA can start recording your conversations and reserve a jail cell for you in the future !

Do you realize that everytime you support Corporate America by spending your paycheck on the new and latest thing, you are actually supporting the war effort. Is this not what the Oil Companies want? and all the Rich Elite - who own all the Fortune 500 companies - Want? War?

If you really want to put pressure on the Government as an individual, I sugget you get CORPORATE AMERICA where it hurts, â€œin the pocket bookâ€. 

Here is what I did starting back in May of 2003 just 2 months after the War was started to help force change in my own way. I hope 85 Million Americans will do what I have done or some of it to help force change!

A month after the IRAQ I decided to close down my business.

I filed bankruptcy a year later and without a lawyer! (very difficult to do) and I was able to Keep Everything to sell in the future and live on for a few years without having to work!

I have since quit working at all.

I have not paid any federal taxes in 3 years. â€œIf you donâ€™t make 10K a year, you donâ€™t pay taxes, its that simple !

I donâ€™t have a credit card ! So I have a â€œBalanced Budgetâ€ !

My cellphone is $10 a month ! (Trac-Phoneâ€¦. Best deal on the Market - No Cotract)

I buy things at yard sales (No taxes)!

I go to outreach programs for food and clothing!

I donâ€™t buy products from certain manufactures who give money to Republicans !

I went to 8 different insurance agent offices until I found the cheapest rate possible, in writing!

I will continue driving the same vehicle until the IRAQ War is over.

I have based my current actions in life and liberty on how to do my part to help stop this WAR, Each action I take is carefully evaluated to see if I can do it in a way to save money. This miser minded approach will allow me to not work for Corporate AMerica, Not spend my money in Corporate America Stores; and I will never have to pay back the money that this â€œBorrow and Spend Presidentâ€ has used in this immoral WAR !
____________

Now, not everyone can do what I have done and use a crazy â€œGive Up Your Lifeâ€ way to revolt but, I will only do this until the WAR in IRAQ is over. I will then try and get back to normal, or what ever that is.

Consider these options in revolting against this Corrupt Corporate America (Government):

Shop until it hurts to find the best price and only buy what is absolultely necessary to survive on a new balanced budget! Yes, that means all the credit cards have to GO! and get a ATM Debit Card that takes money out of your 1 and only checking account.

Tell the family that do to the â€œHIGH COST OF GASOLINEâ€ and possible economic problems in the near future as a result of G.W. Bush bankrupting America (Insert what you want to say) some things need to be changed for just a little while!

New Rules: 1-10.

You can come up with all kinds of things that can piss off your spouse, children, etc. but, that is not what you wan to do to help stop the WAR in IRAQ. 

Choosing to limit excess pleasures and put money towards bills and get out of DEBT!

Who needs 5 cell phones?

Who needs to eat out every night of the week?

Who needs to rent new videos/movides every night?

Who needs to have premium channels? 

Who needs to have 1, 2 or 3 new cars that suck on gas (SUVâ€™s)?

Who needs to have multiple homes (Housing Market bubble is here - Sell Now)?

Who needs to working a full-time slave job just pay the bills and other peoples taxes?

Who needs to join a gym when you can walk and run at a park, etc.

_____________________

It wontâ€™ be easy save money and help stop the war if you donâ€™t evaluate and plan properly!

Take a seat and spend 3 hours a night for a full week to draw a â€œreduction of expenses until the war is over planâ€. Get feedback from each family member on â€œIf we had to cut back on some things, what could go?â€

Most likely your going to get some strong, â€œWhatâ€™s the Problem; I canâ€™t do that; We have money in the bank, donâ€™t we?; We can sell the house in the future, pay off the bills and retire in the future with all kinds of money, right?â€

I live on a day by day basis with not a worry. Donâ€™t get me wrong, it is not where I want to be at this pion in my life but, that is the beauty of it all -

â€œI can move or even leave this country if I want to as I donâ€™t owe a dime to anyone!â€ No bills, no restraints, no problems.

Think about what you can do to limit expense until the WAR IS OVER!

Think about what things you can to do to limit tax payments unitl the WAR IS OVER!

After you get your plan going, convence other family members to do the same thing until the WAR IS OVER!

Since today, March 21, 2006 at his 10 am. (EST) news confernece, Bush made it perfectly clear he has no intentions of pulling our troops out of IRAQ, it is vitally important that you plan to stay the course on a â€œReduction of Expeses to Fight the War Planâ€ for 2 years.

If only 85 million people would do this! What a differece it would make to force policy changes.

We could all say â€œYou are either for the war or against the warâ€ and watch as Elite would call their spin doctors for help!

Well it works for me, and it could work for you.

Do it today.

I call it, â€œRevolt, Stop Supporting Warâ€

		<description>WWallace,

...Are you also aware that 100s of thousands of hours of tapes of intercepted telephone calls, etc. remain untranslated because the various American intelligence agencies do not have enough translators competent in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and other languages of the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan?

wwallace only knows what the right wing talking points of the day are.  He/she certainly doesn&#039;t know that Sybil Edmonds (one of the most qualififed translators in the FBI anti-terrorism force) was FIRED because she exposed a spy (who had actively recruited her), blew the whisle on incompetence and and dereliction of duty on her superiors much like Koleen Rawley (also of the FBI regarding Moussaui) and Bunnatine Greenhouse (in procurement regarding no bid contracts to Halliburton).

Hey gang,
Let&#039;s all give it a rest.  We&#039;ve got so many smoking guns against the incompetence, corruption, malfeasance, and treason of the Bushites my asthma is flaring.  The question is how do we purge our country of these bastards and witches (I&#039;m such a gentleman).

Daily Kos has a poster who has a GREAT idea, just put up fliers, posters, wear t-shirts any visual aids we can utilize with (in big bold letters ) the word &quot;IMPEACH!&quot;, nothing else.

I think that&#039;s a good starter before &#039;06.</description>

		<description>Kristol is a vile and putrid man -- another of those foppy GOP boys with their carefully manicured hands that are never sullied by the filthy deeds they support and defend.

There is no doubt that they are not who they claim to be -- they court the people who believe in hell, even while knowing that if it existed, there would be a very special place there for them.</description>

		<description>In regards to 9/11, let&#039;s all point out that the FBI and the CIA had plenty of legally obtained intel which they FAILED TO USE!!!!

According to preliminary reports, BushCo is wasting its time tapping progressive Christians, vegans, and animal rights people. I suppose Ann Coulter would consider this &#039;protecting us from terrorists&#039;, but I don&#039;t. What an illegal, tragic farce!</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s say Bush&#039;s phone and email taps recorded information about an incipient attack by Al Queda.  They wouldn&#039;t have acted on it anyway!  

Think of the information that was sent to FBI Chiefs about the Muslims taking flying lessons (but omitting taking off and landing), about the FBI Agent in Minnesota reporting a probable mole in the translation department, about the daily secret briefing to Bush which reported such an atttack might well be iminent, about Rice&#039;s lack of concern about Al Queda, despite what Sandy Berger, Clinton&#039;s Nat. Sec. Advisor had told her in her briefings.</description>

That&#039;s an excellent point...  unfortunately, no one elected or in the media has asked. I think you&#039;ll have to tell your Senator to ask, because so far, I don&#039;t hear the Reps asking many valid or hard questions.</description>

		<description>Has anyone yet explained why it&#039;s necessary to circumvent the warrant process? If BushCorp had credible evidence that someone were a threat to national security, what judge would refuse a wiretap warrant?

The IraqVets of this world consider the Constitution an inconvenient hindrance to their political agenda. What arrogance. Anyone who would look up to the fictional Col. Jessup as a hero is dangerously ignorant of our history, and unfit to protect my freedom.</description>

Ryan, I was beginning to wonder of there was just one troll posting with several identities.  I know for a fact that IRI does this because I&#039;ve caught him, called him on it, and he not only did not deny it but responded to it. (He&#039;d left his caps lock on in all of his messages had the same misspellings and general defensive tone).

And I think he/she has a serious crush on you...</description>

		<description>Thank you Shirley,

I was wondering if anyone was going to correct the false statement by IraqVet about &quot;Democrats&quot; between 1997 and 2002 supposedly filing 1,052 subpoenas against the Clinton administration, when it was obvious to anyone who doesn&#039;t watch Fox News that it must have been the Republicans in charge of Congress during those years who did it. And these 1,052 subpoenas had nothing to do with &quot;national security,&quot; but entirely to do with a vendetta against the Clintons.

On the other hand, when faced with the most corrupt administration ever seen in our nation&#039;s history that literally is a &quot;national security&quot; threat, these same Republicans in Congress have issued only 3 subpoenas. Which must mean that the Republican senators and representatives are as much a &quot;national security&quot; threat as their fellow Republicans in the White House.

And concerning Bush&#039;s executive order okaying warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens without FISA oversight as required by law, not only has the Bush administration indicated that they are &quot;above the law,&quot; but all the wing-nuts and trolls must believe they are &quot;above the law&quot; as well. Which means nearly one-third of our nation&#039;s citizens are just as Rogue and undemocratic as the Rogue, undemocratic administration in the White House. So now I know what the R in Republican really stands for: Rogue.</description>

		<description>WWallace,
Since you repeatedly tell us that the information about Bin Laden&#039;s determination to attack the US was old hat, can you explain why the Bush administration, which you also claim is trying to protect us from terrorists, did nothing about that or about an FBI agent&#039;s warning that summer about a disturbing number of Muslim men enrolled in flight schools?  Are you also aware that 100s of thousands of hours of tapes of intercepted telephone calls, etc. remain untranslated because the various American intelligence agencies do not have enough translators competent in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and other languages of the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan?  What&#039;s the point of the Bushies spying on people&#039;s personal communications if they can&#039;t understand the language being used --unless, of course, they&#039;re spying on English-speaking American citizens, which is a violation of the Constitution and other laws?  Are you going to dismiss Bob Barr  and Lindsey Graham, for example, as &quot;partisan hacks&quot; for saying the same thing?  And do you really think the FBI should be wasting time   and resources tracking down a student who wants to check out the 40-year &quot;Chairman Mao&#039;s Little Red Book?&quot;</description>
