“U.S. planning big new public prison in Afghanistan.”

That’s one thing I don’t understand about the Democrats. They say they are against permanent bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet they fund them. Why is that?

Who gives a sh¡t ?

My, my. You simply ignore what is said and answer what ever you want. Making assumptions and hanging them on whomever you want. Now why are you doing that? You certainly are a sharp guy and you do have something to say.

Of course, if you are only trying to irritate, rather than discuss, that would explain everything, wouldn’t it? And in that case there would be no point in having any dialog with you, would there? So the choice is yours. Discuss or purposefully irritate. Care to state your preference?

Come February 2009, you’ll be able to say the same thing about the lack of coverage here as well. You’ll be able, let’s see if you do.

Stating the obvious says nothing Kilo. The MSM is solidly owned by GE, Murdoch and the like and you know that. They will not change or go away. Part of the work we as a people have to do is replace the slanted and partisan report… er opinion-making with good investigative journalism. That will be very difficult due to the amount of money needed to do it. However, the internet is providing that forum, and in future generations just may make the current “fair and balanced” type opinion programs obsolete.

So your challenge (You’ll be able, let’s see if you do.) is meaningless. I guess you are having a bad day.

Don’t bother with Kilo, it is beyond his bedtime. Thanks for the support! We may be old but in getting there we got tough too!

Nice try Kilo. Usually you do better than this, however. This time you come up way short. Additionally, I don’t recall you being as denigrating as you are here to crusty old bastard. But then I’m getting old and perhaps my memory is failing me in preference to wanting to see you in a good light, (even though we do disagree a lot.)

Everyone in America knows that Gore claimed to have invented the internet. Only he never did make that claim. “Invention” suggests a solo effort in a laboratory. What Gore said was different: “During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the internet.” Gore was indeed in the forefront of legislative initiatives to create the internet.

As a Senator in the 1980s Gore urged government agencies to consolidate what at the time were several dozen different and unconnected networks into an “Interagency Network.” Working in a bi-partisan manner with officials in Ronald Reagan and George Bush’s administrations, Gore secured the passage of the High Performance Computing and Communications Act in 1991. This “Gore Act” supported the National Research and Education Network (NREN) initiative that became one of the major vehicles for the spread of the Internet beyond the field of computer science.

“WTF has public opinion got to do with anything you child ?”

Thanks, Kilo. The last time I was called a child was long before your grand-daddy was caught masturbating in the hayloft. Dream on my young friend! Should I be wrong you too may be one of those unfortunates eating your own words. The most influential force in this world, since Al Gore invented the public, is the force of public opinion. It may be slow but it is, in the end, onmipotent.

“January 20, 2009… The End of an Error.”

Thank you my friend. You said in one line what I have been pontificationg for eight years.

Well said!

The US HAS created a multi-national network of prisons that are beyond the reack of international law.

They are the gulags for our times.

Remember the horror on the far right when reports of Soviets drugging dissidents?
