I’m a paranoid, 1984ish type who thinks that at the very highest levels ONLY, all these guys are working together….
all the rest of the people on both sides, mid level and low level, are just smucks…

but, perphaps trying to speculate on what my less paranoid brethern would say? that hmmm, well Pakistian, and people formerly and currently in Pakistan, had SOMETHING to do with the groups and organizations who attacked us. unlike iraq, who, well, never attacked us at all, ever, at any time..

They need to get on Oprah and tell thier story then.

Make no mistake, the “beef mafia” (no joke) is nasty and mean and they tried to take Oprah down with an outrageous but well funded libel lawsuit before and she came out on top…

If this outrageous court decision were widely publicized, there would be a public outcry that would force differing legislation…

Levi Johnston, the father of Bristol Palin’s unborn child, posted on his personal MySpace page that he doesn’t want kids.

Johnston, Bristol’s boyfriend, changed his MySpace profile to say that he is “in a relationship”. However, he also says on his profile, “I don’t want kids”. On his MySpace page, Johnston describes himself as “a f_ckin’ redneck who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.”

“But I live to play hockey,” continued Johnston. “I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some sh_t and just f_ckin’ chillin’ I guess.”

He even warns, “Ya f_ck with me I’ll kick [your] @ss.”

Um, no. Not going to happen. *eyeroll*

This Vagamerican is voting for Obama. ;o)

Until the recent withdrawal agreement, the democratically elected leadership of the Iraqi people has wanted us to stay to help with stability and security of the region. But, that didn’t dissuade many progressives from calling our presence illegitimate and demanding a pullout. Why will our foray into Pakistan be more legitimate?

Now, Obama wants to increase troop levels in Afghanistan and widen the effort into Pakistan. I could make the argument that Obama is using the effort as a necessary illusion to manufacture consent to broaden the war on terror to discount the notion that he is merely a dove with blinders on.

But, why the objection to the projections of American power into Iraq and no concern about it’s projection into Pakistan?

PROTEST TURNS INTO MINI-RIOT

Democracy Now! producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar were arrested while they carried out their journalistic duties, Democracy Now! said in a statement. Democracy Now! said Kouddous and Salazar were arrested on a felony riot charge while Goodman was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of a legal process and interference with a peace officer.

Philadelphia Columnist Warns: ‘If McCain wins, look for full-fledged race war’…

Police fire tear gas into protest group

Anarchists who had threatened to “crash the convention” wreaked havoc Monday in downtown St. Paul as the Republican National Convention opened, shattering windows, throwing rocks, slashing tires and blocking traffic.

Look at your lovely party in action. Threaten riots and race wars just too hard to debate and win on the issues. Typical liberal reaction to advancing their political ideology.

MUST READ.

Why the disconnect?

The disconnect lies solely with you backedup.

Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. AFGHANISTAN DID. We ABANDONED FOCUS ON AFGHANISTAN, OSAMA BIN LADEN, THE TALBIAN AND AL-QAEDA to fight a WAR WE DID NOT NEED TO. AFGHANISTAN, NOT IRAQ, HARBORED AL-QAEDA. AFGHANISTAN, by harboring that organization who attacked us, was where we should have stayed. Now, since we’ve had to shift so many of our forces to Iraq for an UNNECESSARY WAR, AL QAEDA has a STRONGHOLD ALONG THE AFGHAN-PAKISTAN BORDER.

You are disconnected from reality my friend.

On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, “I’m a f—in’ redneck” who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

He also claims to be “in a relationship,” but states, “I don’t want kids.”

Yesterday’s Democracy Now is required listening and/or reading for anyone who cares about the Constitution.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that on the day DN aired this story, police arrested and charged Sharif ‘Abd el-Kouddous, Nicole Salazar, and Amy Goodman. This is nothing less than media intimidation.

I couldn’t agree with you more HT :) I was mainly reading firedoglake this weekend, because Jane and Glenn went to a couple of the homes that got raided. They gave a detailed report about what transpired in those homes. It seemed like every couple of hours they had a new report of people shaken up by all of this, another house being raided, and people seeking sanctuary. One of the reports where they had arrested 9 people and one being a nun, talk about the police reaching an all time low.

I never thought I would see anything like this in my lifetime. RNC struck another blow to the First Amendment.

Have a good day hussein toasterhead !!!!

McWars Says:
Where do you find any good cops these days?

Police brutality is sop now. They shoot old men with a garden tool instead of just waiting for him to nap….

Watched cops lately? Can’t stomach it myself. The police are now allowed to be storm troopers.

When I was a child we were told to go to a policeman if there was trouble, I did not teach my children that. More often than not they cause more harm to the victim than they help.

Ask any rape victim.

My feeling of helplessness stems more from the fear that these great Americans won’t be able to have their grievances properly addressed, than their rights being violated in the first place.

Where do you find any good cops these days?

Toasterhead, very good piece. Thanks for pointing that out. What they are doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Have a great day Toasterhead and Freb!

There is no disconnect, except in your synapses. Wayne and several other posters here have explained this quit well, and yet there you sit, puffing on your pipe, or is it blowing bubbles out of your pipe, pretending we’re somehow being inconsistent.

BTW, the bow tie schtick is getting old… I’d suggest you try something different.

Here’s a case of ‘not looking too hard’…

No, my dear, you’re stuck with McSame.
Good luck!
