4/21    Republicans will have to rename cigars next. "Freedom cigars"?
        http://csua.org/u/6zl (Al-Jazeera)
        \_ Why do you hate America?
           \_ What does this phrase mean?  Why do you keep posting it?  No
              one ever responds, it makes no sense, it never seems to be
              in any sort of context.  Please explain.
              \_ It started as a spoof of hardcore neocons who seemed to
                 challenge any criticism of the war or the President as
                 unpatriotic. It's since become a sort of catchphrase offered
                 up any time anyone says or does something not in direct
                 support of the war.  You know, like RIDE BIKE! or ED!
                 \_ ED!  ED IS THE STANDARD EDITOR!
                 \_ If this is true, it will destabilize the Middle East
                    for years to come.
                    \_ here we go again, you are not bein loyal to our
                       great leadership in the time of crisis.
                       \_ Then again, I also think Bush himself again
                          and again bring entire nation into danger... just
                          like the leader of German's National Socialist Party
                          did 60 years ago.
                          \_ "entire nation into danger"? I'm afraid to
                             walk down the street! You do not know what
                             danger is, boy.
                          \_ German street was very safe after they got rid
                             of all the commie mutants and before the Red
                             Army marched in with our help.

        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        http://www.csua.org/u/sl0 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

Following the footsteps of Spain and Honduras, the Dominican Republic has also announced plans to withdraw its troops from Iraq. The countrys secretary of the armed forces, Lt General Jose Miguel Soto Jimenez on Tuesday said President Hipolito Mejia had decided to withdraw as soon as possible the 300 soldiers stationed in Iraq as part of the US-led occupation forces. The president has decided on the withdrawal of our troops in Iraq as he believes there is no need to run unnecessary risks, Soto Jimenez said. US setback The announced withd rawal coming in the wake of similar decisions taken by Spain and Honduras - is a major blow to the US-led occupation forces, stretched to the limit by the recent wave of attacks and kidnappings. But striking a belligerent note, US President George Bush said the US-led forces in Iraq remained strong despite the spate of withdrawals. We must continue to rally a coalition of the willing, to stay tough and determined, Bush said. The Dominican decision was spurred by the announcement by Spains new Prime Minister, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero that he was withdrawing his countrys 1400 troops from Iraq. Spanish influence Spain has been in charge of troops in Iraq from the Spanish-speaking nations of El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Soto Jimenez said the agreement with the United States to send troops to Iraq was to help in reconstruction, but the situation had been getting very worrying. The Honduran Defence Minister, Federico Breye said the countrys troops would leave Iraq within two months. We expect the return of the troops to take place in the next six or eight weeks. We have given precise instructions to the leadership of the general staff, Breye said. Nicaraguan troops went home earlier this year as part of a normal rotation, but a new contingent has not been sent to Iraq because the government says it is short of cash.
