all that they do is what assuages their greeds or their fears

-very simple animals, they

simpler even than cavemen, I guess. lol. (no offense to you, Dan)

are you ok?

Get lost – we need real leaders in congress.

Would any other country be justified in attacking and attempting to occupy the United States for the same arguments that you make to attack Iran, occupy Iraq, and threaten the other Arab nations?

If not, why are we justified? We have attacked a sovereign nation against the will of the UN. We continue to occupy that nation against the will of the world as well as the will of the Iraqi people. We have Nuk – U – Lar weapons. We torture people. We break our treaties. Why should the rest of the world trust us?

jason, why do you hate the troops?

“coo”? typo, dc.

Victory and surrender are meaningless terms in an occupation and counterinsurgency and you know it. The end strategy is inevitably withdrawal. The question is – do we want to withdraw with 4,000 soldiers killed or 10,000 soldiers killed?

You seem to prefer the latter. Why do you hate the troops, Jason?

…. so, by all means, in front of the whole nation, please, please, please try to declare surrender ahead of an election cycle.

Here is some South Korea information from Wikipedia -

“A still functioning UN Command controls all forces in South Korea, including the US forces and the entire Korean military.”

Can anyone furnish me with the Congressional approval for the permanent presence in Germany, South Korea, and Japan?

This took a whole 2 minutes of Wikipedia searching, but….

“Following the Battle of Okinawa and the end of World War II in 1945, Okinawa was under the United States administration for 27 years. During the trusteeship rule the USAF established numerous military bases on the Ryukyu islands.

In 1972, the U.S. government returned the islands to Japanese administration. Under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security, the United States Forces Japan (USFJ) have maintained a large military presence. 27000 personnel, including 15000 Marines, contingents from the Navy, Army and Air Force, and their 22,000 family members are stationed in Okinawa.[2] 18% of the main island was occupied by US military bases and 75% of all USFJ bases are located in Okinawa prefecture.[3]“

Does that answer the Japan question?

There was this programmer in Winter Park, Florida who had a meeting with Jebbie while he was Governor before the 2000 election and the topic of their meeting was “how to successfully hack a DRE”….hmmmm…..more to come on this or maybe we’ll wait until little bro’ Jebster actually is smoked out believing that he has a chance in hell of entering the political arena again.

Oh yeah, I forgot. China owns l/3 of us already so why not auction ourselves off to the highest bidder at this point?

* Monday: Deadline for international mediators to submit report to UN secretary general who hands it to the security council. Declaration of Kosovo independence could come at any time after Monday, although Hashim Thaci, set to become Kosovo’s Prime Minister, has promised to do so in consultation with US and Europe.

* 14 December: EU summit. Kosovo expects a signal from the EU on prospects for internationally-supervised independence.

* 19 December: UN security council discusses Kosovo, with Russia remaining opposed to independence.

* January: Most likely time of independence declaration.

Serbs: ‘We are defending Europe against Muslim aggression’

Kosovo’s leaders have vowed to proclaim sovereignty sometime after Monday, the deadline for international envoys to report to the United Nations on a final round of talks that failed to find even a glimmer of compromise between Kosovo and Belgrade.

Washington and Brussels agree with Kosovo that further negotiations are pointless, and support independence for the 90-per cent Albanian region under the supervision of a European Union mission and the watchful eye of some 16,000 Nato peacekeepers.

But Russia supports Serbia’s refusal to offer anything more than broad autonomy to the province of two million, and both nations warn that recognising a unilateral declaration of independence from Kosovo would unsettle the Balkans and embolden separatist movements everywhere. The task for the US and Europe will be to manage the independence declaration so that it is met with international recognition – and not gunfire.
