		<description>I would love to share a new tool with your readers. BigString is a free email service that allows a user to easily send, recall, erase, self-destruct and modify an email after it has been sent. BigString users have unprecedented control over all of their email, whether they choose to send it through the BigString.com website or even Microsoft Outlook.



It is inevitable. At one point or another in your life, youâ€™ve sent an email to a colleague, client, family member or significant other thatâ€™s been highly regrettable. Even before pressing send, you knew it was a bad idea, yet you rolled the dice and clicked anyway, only to cringe at what you wrote later on.</description>

		<description>For those people who still believe that the ends justifies the means in relation to the wanton death and destruction of people who had nothing to do with attacking this country, who assume wrongly that America should be able to do what it wants, when it wants, and wherever it wants and that somebody had to pay for 9-11 and that these country of little brown skinned people who in their ignorance, going about their daily lives as we do, did not have anything to do with 9-11 but have been visited with daily horrors that we still don&#039;t see because of censored TV, have been the scapegoats for the unconsciousable, that this nation has committed.

Somebody had to pay and these people were good as anybody else, right.  

Now people who supported this immoral, illegal and tragic undertaking have &quot;changed&quot; their minds for reasons that have nothing to do with morality, namely it was a mis-managed war.

This alone is signs of a sociopathic mind that thinks that this country is entitled to do what it wants to anybody it declares a nusiance to us just steamrolling over somebody else&#039;s culture, history and the way it conducts its business.

We went into these people&#039;s country tore it up, have people fighting among themselves and now tell them they must clean up the mess we created.  This sounds like somebody that manchild George Bush would say when once again others cleaned up his messes.  To say that this is par for the course for this sociopath would be an understatement.

I hope that all those reading this who voted for that jackass, now realize the thousands of people who have perished through no fault of their own, and at the expense of people in this country who think that everybody should want to be like Americans and if they don&#039;t, we&#039;re going to force it down their throats -- because after all we always know whats best.</description>

		<description>Hundreds of thousands of murdered innocents are waiting for Cheney, Rove &amp; Co. to join them in the afterlife so they can dish out some payback.
I fear that all too many of our self-proclaimed masters will be around for years to come, but I sincerely hope that some of them stick around long enough to see the real patriots stand up and fight to take back this country. We will come for you all, and you will answer for your crimes; whether in this world or the next.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;National Intel Director: Bush Admin. Manipulated Iraq Intel â€˜Because They Didnâ€™t Like The Answersâ€™

Today, Meet the Press host Tim Russert previewed the relevant portion of the book:
&lt;/strong&gt;

Did he mention why he previewed this book ? 
Are all it&#039;s contents this non-explosive, non-surprising nor newsworthy?

Did Russert miss out previewing the good 20 odd books over the past 4 years that have each cycled the bestseller lists covering the same ground ?

Personally I&#039;d like to see someone write a series of books about a boy studying to become a wizard. There seems to be a real lack of books about that in the market.

Or a book about JFK getting assassinated. Yeah, why did we never hear anything about that event in a book after the fact.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Call Congress Today for Impeachment

We&#039;ve reached the impeachment moment for Vice President Dick Cheney. We&#039;ve pushed the cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 up to 14. Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more he&#039;ll begin the impeachment proceedings.

And many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney&#039;s chief of staff obstructed justice, and Cheney persuaded Bush to commute his sentence. There is no course left for Congress but Impeachment.

On Monday, July 23rd, the fifth anniversary of the meeting that produced the Downing Street Minutes, Cindy Sheehan, Ray McGovern, Rev. Lennox Yearwood, Ann Wright, Debra Sweet, Dave Lindorff, David Swanson, Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin, Kevin Zeese, and Tina Richards will lead a march to Chairman Conyers office and not leave until he agrees to begin impeachment proceedings.

If you cannot be there, you can take two minutes on Monday and do two things: phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers&#039; office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

Also email your Representatives:

		<description>&gt; Victory in Iraq is a thriving Democracy with oil revenues flowing
&gt; into US coffers through US military bases

and what if that democracy democratically chooses to sell its oil to americans enemies, and to make peace with iran? what would you consider that? and how would military force prevent such a scenario from occuring..?

you have this deep, deep delusion that if you create democracy it will be pro-western.. how did that whole &quot;democracy in palestine&quot; thing work for yoU?

please, oh please, can you tell me which Iraqi political parties you think are going to help Iraq become this pro-american pipe dream you see in your meth-addled delusions?

&gt; that can and will be used for further military action against Iran.

you think we are going to have as much luck in Iran as we did in Iraq? 

&gt;You think they preferred to be gassed
&gt; by Saddam Hussein

newsflash..saddam didnt gas 99.9 percent of his population..but now 99.9 percent of the iraqi population is suffering..... in fact, if the iraqis he gassed were americans who did the same thing to america they did against iraq, you&#039;d be calling them traitors who all needed to be gassed, as well.. you and saddam are more alike than you think..thats why your heroes used to be his buddy till he invaded someone they didnt tell him to...

&gt; or brutalized by Al Qaeda?

thats the only option, right? their only two choices are 1) become a pro-american, anti-iranian democracy or 2) be brutalized by the paltry percentage of foreign jihadis that are in iraq?

&gt; Absolutely not!

you seem so concerned about the will of the iraqi people.. if a majority of them want us out, and our military bases out, should be leave?

Bowel Movement 1-2, your posts have gotten even more delusional than ever..are you taking your meds??</description>

		<description>Well, sometimes you just have to go to war for oil with the intelligence you donâ€™t have.

		<description>McConnell just adds to the mountain of evidence that Bush and Cheney manipulated and misrepresented the intelligence to justify going into Iraq.

America will be paying the price for Bush and Cheney&#039;s dishonesty for decades to come.</description>

		<description>â€œAmerica wants victory in Iraq regardless of Reidâ€™s rhetoric.â€

Actually Harry Reid only puts up a show for the whacked out left while for normal citizens he makes comments like this:

&lt;strong&gt;Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he agreed with Townsend that the U.S. should consider going after Al Qaeda militarily &quot;wherever they are.&quot;

&quot;We have the NIE report, which just came out, that says Al Qaeda during this administration is stronger than ever. I don&#039;t think we should take anything off the table. Wherever we find these evil people we should go get them,&quot; Reid said.&lt;/strong&gt;

I&#039;m guessing this (&quot;Wherever we find these evil people we should go get them&quot;) means Iraq also.</description>

		<description>Of course the Iraq fiasco was due to &quot;faulty intelligence&quot;. 

The Bush administration wrote the reports they wanted to hear and believe in, in spite of the lack of evidence that Hussein possessed WMD, and sometimes even against the available evidence (read the UN inspections and the claims of Iraq-AlQaeda &quot;links&quot;)

And then they feign surprise that no WMD were found in Iraq after the invasion. They are only fooling themselves and their blind followers who have been drinking their Kool-Aid since 2003.</description>

		<description>What does intelligence have to do with this??
That may sound funny.
But really,what does intelligence have to do with anything this gang does?
Intelligence is the least likely item to be incorporated into their plan.
If there was even a brain cell worth in anything they do ....... wow.I for sure would not be writing this.</description>

		<description>&quot;I took your name as you described it, and you come across that way as well. Consistency that comes from self honesty.&quot;
Comment by Merlin â€” July 23, 2007 @ 2:58 am

Thanks, I&#039;m taking that as a compliment.  I guess that I&#039;m pretty comfortable with myself at this stage of the game (and you know my age), and have few delusions about myself.  I know my strengths, and I know my flaws, and I believe that I am, overall, a decent person.  And that&#039;s pretty much all I can ask of myself, right?

And on that note, I&#039;d better get myself off to bed.  Thank you for the interesting conversation, Paul, I&#039;ve enjoyed it immensely. :-)

Goodnight!</description>
