1) Why are impeachment hearings not going on for President Bush?\nA) wire tapping\nB) lied to american people to go to war\nC) has been quoted after 9/11 saying, "find a way to get us into iraq"\n\nAnswers:\nA) The wire tapping was legal, and judged so by the courts.  Your efforts to encourage impeachment in a time of war is seditious and a serious condemnation of either the level of your education, or the commitment you have to our country.\nB) Lied? Consider the following: \nKerry, Former President Clinton (during and after his terms), Edwards, Former First Lady Hillary Clinton, the U.N., all of these said Saddam had WMDs (We know he did, we watched him use them on his own people).  President Clinton said in one speech that our experts watched Saddam smuggle weapons out back doors while the U.N. investigators were coming in the front door (during his terms).\n\nThe excuse that they all depended on President Bush's "lie" doesn't work.  President Clinton said Saddam had them before President Bush ever did, and Saddam himself was telling his allies that he had them!\n\nYour seditious rumor that "Bush lied" is seen for what it is by the U.S. citizens, and expect it to be an expensive attempt to undermine our country and our elected leaders.  Not that we will all vote Republican!  I'm a Democrat, but I have no interest in voting for name-calling, seditious, lying representatives who carelessly spread rumors.  I will vote for a Democrat with ethics, or if their isn't one, perhaps whoever has the most ethics in another party.\n\n3) All of us have had enough of people taking sound-bytes out of context.  Do some actual research instead of attacking our country and look at the rest of what the President said.  He did say it.  The U.N. was not getting the job done, Saddam wouldn't allow U.S.A. inspectors to come in.  President Bush wanted to "get into Iraq" to get the job done the U.N. failed to do for a decade.\n\nWe see what you are doing, both Democrats and Republicans.  We know that we (Democrats and Republicans) are not the enemy.  Oh, we disagree, but we stand behind the elected leaders of our country, majority democratic choice, legal dissent and disagreement, and most of all, each other.\n\nWe stand against name-calling of our leaders (Presidents Clinton or Bush, or any other).\n\nWe stand against spreading unfounded rumors and lies.\n\nWe stand against what you are doing.\n\nYou want to actually discuss wire tapping?  Do some research and then dissent, without trying to attack our leader.\n\nYou want to disagree with why we went to war?  Great.  Stop telling us a lie about the President.  He may have been wrong.  That is not a lie.\n\nYou want to quote him?  Quote him in context and at least quote something about the subject you are actually talking about rather than transposing a quote from one subject (getting U.S. inspectors into Iraq) to another (the decision to go to war).\n\nWhat you do sickens us, and our country, literally.\n\nYou may have Free Speech, but so do we.\n\nExpect us to answer you.

There's this little news story now,  it takes a large chunk of time on national news and print and tv,  remember its the thing about Bush authorizing the NSA to listen to cell phone calls.\n\nSo able danger ended with some admiral or general saying we were told not to pursue what we had cause some white house clinton lawyer told us not to go any farther,\nand now george bush's lawyer, the attorney general, is saying its legal for us to spy and take action\n\nkick @ss

Exactly. I never understood why we went into Iraq.\n\nBy the way, read these real Bush quotes:\n\n"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." \n--GW Bush, 9/13/01\n\n"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."\n--GW Bush, 3/13/02

People seem to have forgotten how the Taliban and rebels in Afganistan whipped the butts of the Russians when they tried to capture Afganista. The United states helped the Afganis with intel and arms, and Russia still lost. Bin laden was involved then, we supported him and his fight against the Russians. Bush policies had nothing to do with 9/11, that was a result of failed policies and promises made by Carter and his administration. It just happens that Bush was on duty when Bin laden put his plan into action. It's all about oil. It has always been about oil. Chasing down zarqawi is more for the press and to show the people back home that progress is being made in Iraq. We don't know what is really going on off camera. Zarqawi was self appoined to lead al-quida in Iraq. There have been reports that binladen didn't like him pitting shiites against sunnis and killing other muslims. The question still remains, should we be in iraq? It doesn't matter now, we are there, we need to send more troops, clean up that place and  get out. Then send our Iraq troops to Afganistan, and clean house there also, then build that darn pipeline.

Ok last time I do this. Afghanistan was already taken care of and a democratically elected government now holds power there. Granted its a gov based on Islamic Law BUT theyre learning AND it was elected by the PEOPLE. We did not go into Iraq for oil...how many tankers have arrived here from Iraq? NONE.  The main points the President and his admin cited were Saddam's alleged links to Al Queda which rather recently are starting to be CONFIRMED by siezed Iraqui documents as well as Saddam's refusal to cooperate with UN weapon inspectors and even going as far as covertly transporting most of its WMD programs to friendly neighbor nations. Evidence of this is also starting to come out of siezed regime documents. There is ALOT more but I only have a short space to make my main points. The rest of it IS out there, if you have the intelligence to look for it and the wisdom to see that ALL the "mainstream" press is biased...even the socalled "fair and balanced" Fox News.

I suspected Greasy was trying to line up statements justifying the invasion of Iraq, but he claims he's not and added a negative for the chaotic democracy, that if you speak out you're more likely to be assassinated.  I'm still pointing out that the analogy to Iraq--intended or not--is not accurate.  The forces of democracy also face a military occupation that is widely detested, and infiltration by violent radical foreigners, and you're in danger of sliding into poverty because the economy is falling apart.\n\nIf I pretend this isn't a question about Iraq but a generic country, I'd take the chaotic democracy because most countries aren't as dysfunctional as Iraq is now, and in a fluid situation there is more hope for improvement than in a static situation such as a powerful dictator in total control.  Russia had chaotic democracy for a while and regressed to something like a Latin American pseudo-democracy, but I'd rather have lived through that than Stalin's or Brezhnev's regimes.\n\nI will still point out that the US has a shameful record of trading freedom for supposed security after 9/11.  The authors of the Bill of Rights would be disturbed to see a president repeal large chunks of it by fiat.  Anyone who voted for Bush in 2004 and now dares to lecture the Iraqis about how they should value freedom over security is profoundly hypocritical or uninformed.

Where in the constitution does it state that we as citizens should not question our government when they are waging war in our name. Show me the chapter and verse, show me the amendment. If we are at war with the men who attacked us on 9/11 why haven't we found that 6' 5" terrorist carrying a dialysis machine through Pakistan?\n\nWe have opened up a new front on terrorism in Iraq. We are creating terrorists every day. The orphans in Iraq will come after us when they are of age. Believe it.\n\nThe NYT is not printing battlefield locations but reporting on a program that the President bragged about in his speeches. You want abuse of reporting? Check out Dick Cheney quoting the aluminum tube myth he helped fabricate with Libby and Miller below.\n\nThe "liberal media" shtick is getting old. If everything is going well in Iraq, go plan your next vacation there. Or sign up for military service.

Actually, the techniques have been publicised and, as mentioned above, over-hyped for quite some time.  When someone says they “tap your phone,” it congers up thoughts of men hiding in cargo vans with large reel-to-reel tape recorders, listening intently to every word you say.  This is not the case.  99% of all long distance phone calls go through a wireless relay system that has been in place since the 50’s.  These relays are highly focused, but they still use radio frequency to transfer your voice from one network to another.  It is around these relays that almost anyone can listen in on phone calls if they have the correct equipment.  Mind you, being in possession of this type of equipment is illegal, but it can be done.  \n\nThe government will set up listening posts close to the relays and take in as many conversations as possible.  They are not able to get them all and the conversations are not listened to by a human.  They go into a digital loop recorder where the conversation is evaluated by a quasi voice recognition system.  This system is preprogrammed with specific words, phrases, and even specific types of sentence structures designed to identify potential terrorist conversations.  Each conversation they are able to evaluate is rated by the computer.  If the computer finds no reason for the conversation to be evaluated further, the entire conversation is purged from the system.  If there are a sufficient number of triggers (words, phrases, structure) in the conversation, they will flag the conversation for review by a human.  \n\nThis will be the first time a conversation is listened to by a human.  He has no idea who is talking and he really doesn’t care at this point.  All he wants to do is a quick, down and dirty, evaluation of the conversation to see if he believes it is terrorist related.  If he finds nothing indicating terrorist activity, the conversation is purged from the system and he moves on to the next.  \n\nThis is just one of the many systems used to monitor phone conversations in the USA.  The technique was a grey area even before the Patriot Act became an issue.  It will continue to be an issue for ever.  If this is something you feel strongly about and do not believe is the right thing to do, the best action is to become involved in the political end of it and work to make a difference.  \n\nPersonally, I have no problem with it.  They can listen to my conversations all day long.  I spend most of my time working on the phone anyway.  They would probably fall asleep listening to my conversations.  \n\nI hope this helps.

1. THE  WAR IN IRAQ\n2. THE LIES COMING FROM WASHINGTON\nGOD BLESS

We are slowly learning things that the administration has been hiding concerning things like U.S. servicemen being killed by Iraqi police.\n\n\nThis is in keeping with making all useful information "classified" then demanding of the opposition "What's your plan?"\n\nLike blindfolding you then telling you to identify the color of the car that just drove by.

Its all about the wording.  This administration has been very good at one thing - Words.  They decide to give big business freedom to pollute and call it, "Clear Skies".  They help the logging industry destroy millions of acres by starting the, "Healthy Forests Plan".  This war had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD.  This administration had plans to invade Iraq long before it ever came to office.  15 of the 19 terrorist were from Saudi Arabi and the terrorist camps were in Afganistan.

Yes there have been numerous documents and tapes released by the government implementing Saddam's regime talking about where to take the WMD's and how to lie to the UN.  I don't know where to get ahold of those documents though, I heard it on Limbaugh's radio show, try calling him he would undoubtedly know.  When I was there we found numerous empty carriers for large warheads and plenty of chemical and biological weapons.  But WMD's are not the only reason for Iraq, him supporting and paying terrorists is just like having WMD's.  There are many anti-American HUGE paintings on buildings displaying the bombing of America and many had mushroom clouds.  I believe since we told Saddam we was coming he got them out.  The terrorist network over there is crazy.  If you have any other questions email me
