  1. You still don't get it. "torture" against POW's is wrong, torture against foreign non=status enemies is not covered by international nor US law.
  2. No it spells H1N1. Swine flu was so 1918ish. Didn't you get the memo from Obama?
  3. I heard about both on my way home. Seems Poole had done his radio spot this morning and then had the heart attack. Damn.
  4. Just another form of torture, I am sure. Bush/Cheney and their weather machine, have perfected the anti-Mexican machine.
  5. He also said Crow would start in the middle when Poz was drafted.
  6. I remember a young Rb who said the same thing years back
  7. Bill Ayers only wanted to blow up the military.
  8. And the board racism continues. Same folks will be up in arms when Woods contraact is renegotiated 2 years early and Maybins isn't. of course production and attitude don't count only color.
  9. No it says reportedly. That means maybe, maybe not.
  10. It doesn't say anyone was court marshelled. It says the army investigated, maybe It says "The picture reportedly led to an Army investigation."
  11. WTF do you not understand? vietnamese prisoner in the vietnam war are considered POW's. The people in gitmo and other non-status are not subject to the same rights. Is that really that !@#$ing hard for you to !@#$ing get through your little pea brain? And stop posting crap from liberal print papers.
  12. We do not torture POW's. that is correct. However, these are not POW's. Why do you not understand that. These folks are considered non-statused under the Geneva Convention and are not subject to the same rights as a POW or criminal. They are npt subject to US or international law.
  13. You guys need to stop. Freddy is a nice role player, but he is not an everydown starter. He will get a contract similar to Rhodes but he is not going to get 2-3 million a year from anyone. No backup RB does. You homers really need to stop and realize tying up 3% of the cap money on a backup Rb is not going to get us to a winning season.
  14. Nope. No status because he is a enemy agent from a country other than where he was captured. technically a spy. the only thing you and I agree on is that he should never have gone to gitmo and bush was being nice. he should have been given a field trial, tortured for information after being found guilty and executed as such. That is what the manual says.
  15. Anyone want to explain enemy combatants vs. no status combatants according to the geneva convention?
  16. the left motto: "The brain is a terrible thing to use"
  17. Ask him, if he went camping and woke up with a used condom in his ass would he tell anyone? You figure out the rest.
  18. It was a republican congresional bill that got pushed from the Clinton admin in either 98 or 99. Obviously Clinton signed. in 96 before the new congress took over the white house (Bush and crew) along with repubs in congress seeing the errors of their way, tried to lock down the dereg. It got shot down and never passed as the dems stopped it (specifically Frank and his buddies who were profiting big time). Not sure at that point if it would have helped as the forcing of bad loans was already pretty rampant due to laws from 98/99. it took a while for the mortgage market to come up with and be creative in finding ways to actually get the papers sold to investors on the questionable loans. What happened to cause the market to fail, has to do with accounting practices, specifically (mark to market) that devalued the housing bonds so much that banks were forced to come up with new cash reserves as the paper value when below the loan guarentees.
  19. Even if he does. he'll never see the field. Carolina just commited 5 yr/50 million to Delhomme. At best, in an injury or 4+ years he might get a chance again. If JP did this, it shows he doesn't have the heart nor desire to start in the NFL and is just looking for money. there were other places that needed a legit backup with opportunity to see the field possibly. NYJ, Wash, etc... but he chose to go to a place that wrapped up a good vet to a long term deal yesterday.
  20. Philly traded peters already. Damn.
  21. Obama is sending out IOU's like California. He was trying to copy good ideas from that "republican" governer.
  22. shhhhhh......... Yeah I know nothing of the accounting rules, CofA, mips, bonds attached to mips, securitization of said loans, etc... Nope I know nothing about any of that stuff.
  23. Banks were in fact forced to provide loans to folks that were not qualified. freddie mac and fannie mae in fact were required to have portfolio of I believe it was 40% of the loan make up to low income / undocumented income folks.
