Well it doesn't always work out quite so nicely. Where I live, there are a large number of well educated, well payed parents. The schools are also considered some of the best in the state.
There is a Catholic high school about a mile from my home. It's very well respected and likes to flaunt...
I think what the OP is implying is that Operation Iraqi Freedom WAS very popular at the time of the invasion and for the first few months afterward. It has since become very unpopular.
I think that if the public is the driver for the policy or it was started by a previous administration and...
The US in only holding back the end of the world if you believe that book your getting all this information from has accurate prophecies. Since the belief that that book is truly accurate only comes with faith, belief in it's prophecies is only going to come the same way.
To put it another...
I will buy that fighting the war on terror is justified, what I will not buy is that invading Iraq was justified by the war on terror. Afghanistan, absolutely, it has been shown that the Taliban and al-Qaeda were/are joined at the hip in a symbiotic relationship where neither would have gotten...
I'm not completely sure they need 60 votes it they remove the tax portion. I know they need super majorities for tax proposals, but I'm not sure if that would extend to a bill that only raises the minimum wage. That said, I suspect Bush will finally veto something if he gets a bill with only the...
I don't disagree. I think that were she chairperson, it's more of a conflict than if she were a member of the minority party. It's a conflict either way.
Then the question becomes, when were these contracts awarded. Because, as was noted above, Feinstein would not have been chairperson of MILCON after the mid-term elections in 2002, Hutchinson was. If they were awarded after January 2003, Feinstein would have at most been the ranking Democrat on...
Since you haven't read it, your critique of the book is of little value. By scholarly, I mean very detailed and highly cross-referenced. And it does actually make the CIA out to be like a bunch of bafoons for their use of the ISI as a proxy while the State Department tried to enforce some...
al-Qaeda does not owe its birth to the CIA. It owes its birth to the Muslim Brotherhood, if anyone. And the Muslim Brotherhood started mainly in Egypt, before the Soviets fought in Afghanistan.
You could definitely make an argument that using the Pakistani ISI as the conduit for the vast...
The US didn't train Osama, OK? It didn't happen. They trained and provided arms for some of the anti-soviet groups in Afghanistan. Osama had relations with some of those same groups, but he provided his own funding. He took great pride in being able to bring has band of mercenaries to bear in...
No, but they have beat and 'hung' people to death w/o anyone being really punished for their actions. Even trying to cover up the crime by making it look like the guy was on an IV:

And they have beat known members of the Iraqi military, who...
I also read the report about being shot in the back of the head, but they also stated that they couldn't prove whether they were dead or not before being shot.
And just remember, according to our own government statements and repeated on this board over and over again, these men have no...
