Time will tell. Eventually, we will find out at least some of the motivations behind it all. I think that the administration (not necessarily Bush) was at the very least, lukewarm on the idea. There were lots of reasons to do so mind you:
- It was an unstable influence in the region
- It was a convenient target, in that a majority of the world (not the other powers that be, that have a vested interest...France, Russia, China) held a dim view of the country, especially in the Middle East region.
- It occupies a strategic point in the Middle East, allowing the country that controls it a lot of power in the region.
- The other 432 reasons the Bush administration listed.
Did Bush do what he thought was right? Probably.
Is Obama doing what he thinks is right? Probably.
I have a feeling history will not be kind to either.
yep, time will tell. thanks for your take.
- It was an unstable influence in the region

Did Bush want war? Dunno. The real questions are (IMO):
Did Chaney and Rumsfeld want war?
Was the intelligence gathered without influence or bias from the Executive branch, of were they instructed (or persuaded) to bias their interpretations?
Sure. Bush was a puppet. Keep it up. So not the truth. But who cares. From this point forward , we have fearless leader.
-
I have calmed quite a bit on my take of Bush with time, but that seems a bit much.
Well. I don't think so. Those saying he was so unprepared for it, probably true, at the same time saying it was some diabolical scheme to avenge his daddy. Please. Please stop on the Bush hatred. And no, in case anybody was wondering, I have had zero fishing invites so far!! He really is a jerk.
-
Is that a serious question?
The intelligence agencies work for, and report to, the Executive branch. The Director of National Intelligence reports directly to the President.
I guess it just depends on what you choose to believe. The Bush Administration didn't want war; they were not hiding some secret deep dark secret evil agenda. Congress had the same information. It wasn't good information , BTW.

Really? It's clear? Provide the clarification.
"You !@#$ed up - you trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help." -Otter
Why don't you prove they did not. They are equal branches of government after all. Why wouldn't they have the same information. This the first time you heard this? Doesn't fit into your Bush conspiracy paradigm I suppose.
-
Wouldn't you imagine if there was one, just one member of the Senate who perhaps may have known more about the situation given her family .. ahem ... connections to a certain husband's former job. Who would that Senator be ????
If there was obvious doubt on the intelligence that the spooks were providing, wouldn't that Senator call a husband to ask, does this sound true or fake to you?
If she even trusted him at that point. She may have still been pondering what the definition of the word "is" was. I think it's clear that congress members had the same intelligence the white house had. It is so disingenuous the way the Dems attempt to blame Bush for everything. It does beg the question, if Bill had the same info, why did he do so little when he had the chance? Perhaps because his mind was on impeachment and little else. The last couple of years of his presidency was a time of great distraction for him. Maybe.

WRONG, again.
I am not waiting for any handout unless you want to define a stable and growing economy as a handout.
I would also like to see an end to the war in Iraq and closure to the real war that was abandoned in Afghanistan.
Since you still want to be an
... go play on the freeway. I hear the sniper is still out there...I'm still waiting for an end to the war in Vietnam that liberals blame Nixon for.

Either way, the law was broken.
Or maybe if like McVeigh only killed 3 people, we would have let him off the hook? It was only three people.
Could you be more specific as to which law you are referring to?

I remember as a little kid in Catholic school the nuns told us that the Chinese would get us and torture us with Chinese water torture or bamboo under our fingernails until we denied Jesus... It was torture then. I must have missed the ruling that made it not torture.
Just because you went to Catholic school, doesn't make you a COMPLETE authority on torture!

How much quackery can one fit into just one email?
Basically however, good nutrition is always a good idea. You know, the article said nothing about exercise. I am slipping. Probaably because I'm not getting enough good nutrition or exercise.
-
Ouch. It came from a normally reliable source, so I didn't double check. I do believe there is some good info in there, but loses credibility by falsely attributing John Hopkins. Sheesh.

Cancer is actually a topic close to my heart. For anyone who cares, there is some good info here. I hope you find it useful.
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11.. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts.. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color.. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c.. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine.. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

Seriously.
I'm curious about how "famous" Woodward and Bernstein were prior to their depictions by Redford and Hoffman.
As their pieces were being published by the Washington Post, did anyone outside the beltway care about WandB? Were they doing nightly interviews for the national news? Did their names EVER come up on the national news?
Even AFTER the scandal came to fruition and the President resigned, did anyone know their names until the movie came out?
They were virtually unknown. They jobs at a respectable big city newspaper, and they had earned their way there. But they were not famous. In those days, a reporter might not even get byline on a story he/she might write.

The other special effects in the movie seemed good to you? The graveyard is really really convincing, especially after Tor Johnson kicks over the headstone.
I don't remember the whole movie. I just remember it was bad everything, bad acting. And I remember hearing it was on an all time list of bad movies.

"Plan 9 from Outer space comes to mind." At the end, when the flying saucer is on fire, you can actually tell it's a paper plate hanging from a string.
-
did you steal that from the Daily show?
The FAA was notified. Who should have notified the public? The FAA or the WH?
And why was it referred to as a "look alike" ??
You mean I'm funny enough to go on the Daily Show? I doubt it. I think I saw it reported on Fox. They showed people running and said some people evacuated buildings. Obama was not on board. There are several planes that can serve as Air Force One. They are basically identical, if that's your question, as to why it might have been referred to as a look alike.

Will the Obama team please stop campaigning. Buy Photo Shop, instead of flying your new toys over the stature of Liberty, and panicking the city of New York. Mission accomplished!

Show me one anti-Bush protest where anyone was arrested for plotting a terrorist attacklike this . I will wait.
Where in that article does it say he was at one of the protests? I'll tell you where. Nowhere. Only in your topic title where you imply it by calling him the derogatory term "teabagger." You twist facts like no one I've ever seen. Here's a terroristic threat for you, since you asked for just one. JUST ONE

Four O-linemen, 2 linebackers, one defensive lineman, one TE, one WR, one QB, and one WR. Plus a safety and 3 CBs (Florence and a couple of late round CBs who I suspect are projected as special teamers). That's what the Bills have acquired since the end of the season. Lots of o-line, not so much d-line. They had a lot of d-line already (Stroud, Johnson, Williams, Denney, Ellis, Kelsay, Schoebel, and Jason Jefferson), and the addition of Maybin gives them 9. T

The guys on ESPN seem to think the Bills did very well in the draft.

I can't talk about it. It's classified.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. All that anti-government/anti-Obama sentiment stirred up has turned this Teabagger into a Terrorist.
So I guess Newtie, Armey, Dick and his buddiess succeeded in stirring up some good old fashioned anti-American hatred. In OKC no less.
And, who needs waterboarding when there's Twitter?
I thought only the PPP wingnuts were dumb but I guess it's more widespread than that.
On second thought this is so outrageous I wonder if it's an urban myth? It didn't come up on snopes at all...
Man you sure do find obscure irrelevant nonsense to post to blur real issues. Imagine an organized peaceful countrywide protest demonstration that's not about spewing hatred against George Bush. You can't, can you? You should seek therapy.

Find a lifetime sport, like basketball or tennis. Drink lots of water, especially before you eat. You'll feel full faster and eat less. Resistance training (weights) does work. I just find it kind of boring. If you can build lean muscle, your body will burn more calories. I had a friend that was stranded on a boat for nearly two weeks before he was rescued. That works too.

Blanche would've been wild, and I might've done Betty White 70 years ago, but that's it.
I still think of her a Maud too, though I suspect the Golden Girls may have been a better gig.
