10/31 \_ More important question: why was it under seal and not
destroyed in 1995 when they found it? And why did the
"sealed" building have air vents noted in the IAEA report that
make it clear the building wasn't really sealed? WTF is up
with sealing stuff instead of just destroying it? How can
you excuse *that* away?
\_ ninjas with WMDs!
\_ You brainless TWAT. Under seal means "We've locked it up, and
everything is accounted for, so if you try to use any of it,
we'll know." Guess what? They didn't use it. It sat there
until last april, when we overthrew the regime and left it
unguarded. Even if it arguably _should_ have been destroyed
in '95 (which you're wrong about. The seals are from '91 or
earlier), it still doesn't excuse NOT GUARDING IT NOW.
you're a fucking TOOL.
\_ Guess what? What the Iraqis said was there doesn't jive
\_ jibe
I like jive, thanks. _/
It's slang, so I can
use either one.
\_ Oh to be young and ignorant
again. Jive isn't slang
here it's the wrong damn
word. I guess it's hella
cool to be an ignorate
dope. Have a hella rockin
day, dude!
with the more recent IAEA surveys from just before the war.
I'm sure you (and John below) feel really smart tossing around
\_ If I'd wanted your opinion, I'd have beaten
it out of you. You miserable, arrogant,
holier-than-thou, preachy cretin, I swear,
people like you REALLY piss me off. I
was commenting on the word choice of the
guy's comment, not his goddamm content.
Get a clue and learn to read you fucking
brainless crotch-rotten litle worm. Now
that you mention it, though, your original
point does display a pretty horrifying
degree of ignorance and misunderstanding
of what "seal" means. And as for typing
2x as much, I'm still waiting for some
FUCKING CONTENT. -John
personal insult but you don't have the facts on your side.
Sorry about that. In 1995 the IAEA was told about this stuff
by inspectors who begged them to destroy it and they chose
not to. Approximately April 13th, our troops on the ground
found it and destroyed some portion of it and moved on. The
big pink elephant is this was an on-the-ground military
snafu. Shit happens in war. They 400,000 tons and might
have lost a few hundred tons here and there. You think
nuclear components were safe in Saddam's hands but wait, there
weren't any. You're all over the place son. Drop the random
insults, get some facts and try again. Weird how I managed
to type 2x as much as you without using childish insults.
You get an "A" for effort on the attempted intimidation, but
that just doesn't fly anywhere but the wall.
\_ It's not an "on-the-ground snafu". It's a "we had no plan
to pursue this war snafu". HMX _is_ a dual-use nuclear
component. There have been no reports of troops "destroy-
ing some portion of it" that I've seen. Give us a source.
How much of the 400k tons of munitions were high-grade
explosives?
\_ Ok we agree on something. HMX is a dual use nuclear
component. Why was it under pseudo-seal instead of
destroyed? What exactly is the point of tagging stuff
anyway? So that once sanctions end, Hussein could more
easily restart his WMD programs? Or because the UN or
whatever .org believes that after enough years of
sanctions Hussein will have learned his lesson and not
use the dual-use stuff for the WMD use? What's the
purpose in tagging and sort of checking it every few
months instead of just destroying it since they're not
supposed to be touching it anyway. And if they did
break the seals and move all or some of it, then what?
We would know they did and then what? We'd send a nasty
letter asking them not to do it too many more times or
else we'll send more nasty letters?
\_ I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this. Are you saying
the missing munitions from Al Qaqaa were destroyed be
American troops? -!pp&&!op
\_ I'm saying we now know the guys on the ground searched
the facility and at least some materials at the facility
were removed and destroyed. Since it was a war and not
a bean counter's convention no one can ever tell you
they know exactly what happened or when to the stuff
that was there. If the IAEA reports can be trusted and
I don't think they can (since we know Hussein was
bribing everyone else on the planet, why not
inspectors?) then we know the material was there in
November of 2002. In January, we are lead to believe
from IAEA reports that only 3 tons of one material type
were left which means roughly 135 tons was moved. In
April, American troops showed up and destroyed ~250 tons
of material from that base but exactly which material
is not known. In May, the facility was reported
stripped, most likely by the population living in nearby
towns. Anything else is pure speculation. This is the
point where my friend calls me a twat and a few other
things to make a counter point.
\_ Whoever wrote this is pure oratory genius. Seriously. It's
a bit rough around the edges, but the potential is definitely
there. I strongly suggest you try to find some of Mark
Latham's choicer insults online. -John
\_ Not really, it's just silly. He almost had a few
intelligent points but ruined it with frothing hatred and
childishly spewed bile.
\_ My point. Rough around the edges. For some reason,
parliamentary systems seem to breed more polished,
amusing frothing to go with the bile :-) -John |

10/31 According to cnn, Democrats waaay outspend the Republicans on
campaign ads. How can that be? Aren't Republicans a lot
wealthier?
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/special/president/campaign.ads
\_ There has been a huge groundswell from the dems. The huge
majority of dem money this cycle has been from $100 or less
contributions. There are a LOT of people that want change.
\_ not, considering the top 4 Dem donors have spent well in
excess of 60+ million. More self-delusion on the Dem's
behalf, party of the little people indeed.
\_ Kerry raised 32% of his money from donors of $200 or less
(and 35% from $2000 or less). "Huge majority"? Riiiiiight.
http://www.opensecrets.org/presidential/donordems.asp
\_ 2002, percentage of donors giving following amts, dems/reps:
$200-999: 39/61
$1000+: 49/51
$10k+: 55/45
$100k+: 67/33
$1M+: 92/8
Billionaires for Kerry!
http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/donordemographics.asp?cycle=2002
\_ Um... What about contributions to the DNC/RNC? I was under
the impression that the big donors give to the parties because
it hides from comparisons like yours.
http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/donordemographics.asp?cycle=2002
\_ R gets 2X D.
http://www.opensecrets.org/parties/index.asp
But party money is more restricted than, say, 527 money,
and D leads in 527 money.
\_ No one should "lead" in 527 money. The very concept is
the antithesis of the campaign finance reform laws that
created 527s. Most of them are operating illegally.
\_ I'm sure it's just an oversight, and not you trying to spin
the numbers, which caused you to leave out the fact that Bush
has twice the number of $2000+ donors as Kerry, and a
significantly greater portion of his overall contributions
from that group. Kerry's not Dean, but his support is still
far more grassroots than Bush's. -tom
\_ "Far more grassroots"? 32% of both candidates' support is
from donors of $200 or less. Kerry has 10% more supporters,
but I think it's hard to say "far more grassroots". Howard
Dean was "far more grassroots". John Kerry is not.
\_ whatever. i don't care. guess who i'm voting for? - danh
\_ so you're ok if your guy won with the help of
supporters who might have violated campaign finance
reform laws? you want to win "by any means necessary"?
that sort of thinking opens up a long list of places
that no one in this country should want to go. neither
side is so darkly evil or different from the other that
we need to destroy the country in order to save it.
\_ I'm sure it's just an oversight but these numbers don't
count the tremendous amount of raw cash pumped into leftist
527 groups created under the bogus "campaign finance
reform" laws. How can you forget the money pumped in by
the likes of George Soros?
\_ I believe soros donated 10 million, not the 80 million figure floating around

10/30 So, there's this buffoon who actually believes that chauvinist
actually has a good point in committing barbarism on the
motd. Too bad he didn't sign his post. I think it's pretty
sickening that someone who supposedly went to Berkeley would
think like this. Of course, we have John Yoo here on
campus too. Perhaps you didn't know anyone who died in the towers
in Lebanon. Perhaps you don't know anyone who died in the wake of a B2
under a cluster bomb. Perhaps you didn't know anybody who was killed in
Iraq. Unfortunately not all of us are as lucky as you are, and the
loss of life and pain that many of us have suffered due to barbarism
is not something which is fun to speculate about. You might sit
in your ivory tower speculating about how moral and supreme your master
civilization is, and how the supposedly free people are justified
in barbarism, both of which are patently false statements because a
chauvinist is neither rational nor is he free. There are self-
righteous apologists who attempt to blame everyone but themselves,
and unfortunately to the victims of barbarism and to those
who knew them that answer is simply not acceptable. In
response I can only offer you that I did know someone who was
a victim, and it is close to home... I do not condone the
retribution which others like OBL seek, but I cannot sit idly by while
someone actually supposedly supports these monsters.

\_ So, there's this buffoon who actually cannot seem to read, but
does like to run his mouth. Too bad he signed his post. I think
it's pretty sad that someone who supposedly went to Berkeley can't
seem to read. Of course, we have other morons here on campus
too. Perhaps he doesn't know any Iraqis who died in Iraq. Perhaps
he doesn't know anyone who died elsewhere in the Middle
East. Fortunately, most of us are probably as lucky as he is, and
the loss of life and pain that many of those towel head foreigners
have suffered due to US foreign policy is not something we should
worry our pretty little heads about. We might sometimes sit in
our ivory towers speculating about how rational Bin Laden is, and
how the supposed poor people might in fact believe they are
somehow, someway justified in terrorism, both of which might
conceivably be possible. There are Islamic apologists who attempt
to blame everyone but themselves (and we all know they're
personally responsible for all of this), and unfortunately to the
victims of terrorism and to those who knew them that answer
[whatever that means] is simply not acceptable. In response he can
only offer us that he did know someone who was a victim, and it
was close to home... he does not condone the retribution which
others seek [again, whatever that even means], but he cannot sit
idly by while someone actually supposedly supports these monsters
[way to villify them -- someone's been playing a little too much

agree that U.S. foreign policy tends to breed terrorists?
\_ TROLL ALERT.

\_ Heh, lookup "williamc" in the archives and ask that again.
\_ when things went bad in Mogadishu many years ago, the Americans
showed up thinking they were welcomed because they were going
to bring peace, properity, freedom, women's rights, and
everything that us westerners value dearly. Guess what? Every
villager pretty much hated the Americans and killed them when
they had the chance.
The idea that western value is the best thing in
the world and that everyone else should feel the same way, is
Bush-minded. If the US is truely tolerant, it should just
leave the world alone.
\_ Nice try, no cigar. The US in Somalia were hated by members
of the various tribes/clans that had the most to lose. It's not
a question of "western values", my good friend. It's the
problem of how the US has sought to communicate/transmit/impose
those values. There are certain things going on in the world
today that are just plain Wrong (tm) by anyone's cultural
understanding, and you won't get away with the cheap trick of
trying to hide them under local cultural quirks that must be
tolerated by the evil imperialist West. There's an interesting
editorial by Youssef M. Ibrahim touching on this in this
weekend's IHT; I strongly suggest having a read. -John
\_ I don't know what started this thread but if someone was saying
the ~3000 dead people on 9/11 somehow deserved it due to some
sort of 'collective guilt of the people' they need to pull their
head out of the sand. That's the polite version. I'll leave it
at that. |

\_ Not likely. It's not a question of how mad people are, it's a
question of *which* people are mad. The people who rioted over
the King verdict probably mostly don't vote, or see Kerry as
just as much "the man" as Bush. Conversely, the people who think

10/31 Is there a web site somewhere that reports the current cell phone
tower sites, their frequencies, strengths, etc? I have Verizon
and it works everywhere EXCEPT where I live and I'm very upset.
I want to know what signal my phone uses (tdma? cdma? gsm?) and
what kind of carriers use what signals, and what kind of towers
are around the places I go to frequently. This way I'll be
able to make better purchasing decisions next time.
\_ If you have any Verizon phone from the last ~8 years, it uses CDMA
and is also capable of roaming onto Sprint's 'PCS' network, which is
also CDMA. Some Verizon phones (sold as 'tri-band') can also
recieve the old analog 'AMPS' signals, and so work better in areas
with poor signal. These phones are getting harder and harder to
find as the carriers move to 'all-digital' phones, which sounds like
a selling point but means less versatility, though lower cost of
manufacturing.
Actual tower locations are a closely guarded secret for reasons of
competition (though the excuse du-jour is 'anti-terrorism'). The
tower locations should all be on file with the FCC, but good luck
getting a look at them.
If you got your contract/phone less that 15 days ago, you can return
it and get out of your contract with no penalty. If not, see if
your phone is 'all-digital', and if it is, get a friend with a
tri-band Verizon phone to visit your house and see his signal.
On top of that, some phones just get better reception than others.
Tri-mode LGs are pretty good, as is the Nokia 6015i from what I've
heard. Good luck. - dgies |

It'll probably work from the command line too, but within

Wish they had left. What the heck do celebrities know about
politics? Why do they think anyone cares?
\_ obviously you do.
\_ I don't care what they say; I do care that it's somehow
newsworthy what they say. There's more than enough real
issues out there that we shouldn't be wasting reporter
time talking to actors about their political views or
sending dozens of reporters to cover the trial of a
fertilizer salesman from Fresno which will never have the
slightest impact on our lives whatsoever.
\_ I just saw Alec on Dinner for Five responding
to this. He said: "15% of people agree with you,
15% of people hate you and want you to die. The
rest don't care." I doubt too many reporters
seek out popular media figures for their political
opinions, just the usual hype machines spewing
stuff out that the news channels pick up from
time to time. Blame Hollywood if you must,
but really you need to lighten up.
\_ Not Hollywood's fault - you stick a microphone
in someone's face, they're going to answer. I
think it's amusing that celebrities think being
a celebrity automatically makes them an authority
on politics, but that's a side point. It's media
that says they don't have the resources to cover
issues in the depth they'd like, instead
parroting the spin of the mouthpieces of
political parties and figures, and then spends
time and money covering crap like this.

\_ I d really rather not write a long motd essay about UCLA,
so email me if you want a detailed answer. A lot of it
you can't really pick up until you hang around UCLA and
UCLA people for a while. This 'thing' is why I think UCLA
will never be a top tier school, despite having all the
prereqs (lots of research money, good location, good brand,
etc). UCLA people are simply
willing to settle. There isn't the Berkeley culture of
staying past 4am to get the last bits of the project working,
you know? For some people this kind of 'balanced approach'
is ideal, but it makes me very sad. UCLA is full of people
with busy lives who happen to be taking classes (or teaching,
or doing research) on the side. -- ilyas |
