Let's compare and contrast here, shall we? Three years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, FDR has the Germans and Japanese by the throat. Three years after 9/11, Bush 43 allows Al Qaeda to murder American civilians at will. Walt

Muzzling the Courts? The Washington Post Wednesday, July 21, 2004; Page A18 FOLLOWING THE Senate's burial last week of a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, foes of same-sex marriage are back with another radical proposal. This time they are pushing a bill that would prevent...

Oh ho! The Pentagon said Bush 43's military records had been destroyed. Guess what? Dulicate copies exist. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=544&e=16&u=/ap/bush_military_service WASHINGTON - The Associated Press asked a federal judge Friday to order the Pentagon (news - web...

Paul Krugman, 7/20/04 NY Times: In the original version of "The Manchurian Candidate," Senator John Iselin, whom Chinese agents are plotting to put in the White House, is a right-wing demagogue modeled on Senator Joseph McCarthy. As Roger Ebert wrote, the plan is to "use anticommunist hysteria as...

Florida List for Purge of Voters Proves Flawed By FORD FESSENDEN Published: July 10, 2004 Florida election officials used a flawed method to come up with a listing of people believed to be convicted felons, a list that they are recommending be used to purge voter registration rolls, state...

"WASHINGTON - The government needs to establish guidelines for canceling or rescheduling elections if terrorists strike the United States again, says the chairman of a new federal voting commission. Such guidelines do not currently exist, said DeForest B. Soaries, head of the voting...

Here's another link confirming Bush as deserter. http://igoberserk.billyjack.com/index.php?menuID=Page&pid=48 It does seem to me that this is -the- appropriate newsgroup for this information. Walt

Well I watched "Hardball" last night with Campbell Brown. She had Bartlett, one of the Bushies on. She asked him a question. He talked for a while and she said something like, "you are very articulate, but that avoids the question completely." I wish more of the Press would point out that the vast...

"It wasn’t reported in mainstream press, but the NAACP sued Harris and the gang for the black purge, and won. The state threw up its hands immediately and said, ‘You got us! We’ll put these people back as soon as we can. The NCAACP simply wanted voting rights to be returned to those whom were...

Hi, I am building a diorama with a 1/48th scale B-17 at low altitude. It will have two engines turning and two shut down. My question is, would a B-17 have its landing flaps deployed at all at this lower speed and altitude if it was not landing, just hedge-hopping home? And if so, how...

"Five months before the election, Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris ordered the removal of 57,700 names from Florida’s voter rolls on grounds that they were felons. Voter rolls contain the names of all eligible, registered voters. If you’re not on the list, you don’t get to...

But while responsibility begins with the six soldiers facing criminal charges, it extends all the way up the chain of command to the highest reaches of the military hierarchy and its civilian leadership. And the resignations should start with CIC and work their way...

From the New York Times: Just when you've persuaded yourself yet again that this isn't Vietnam, you are hit by another acid flashback. Last weekend that flashback was to 1969. It was in June 1969 that Life magazine ran its cover story "The Faces of the American Dead in Vietnam: One Week's Toll,"...

100 Miserable Failures of the Bush Administration: 1. Failing to build a real international coalition prior to the Iraq invasion, forcing the US to shoulder the full cost and consequences of the war. 2. Approving the demobilization of the Iraqi Army in May, 2003 – bypassing the Joint Chiefs of...

From the NYT: It's hard to imagine what the Pentagon was thinking when it told the American Army and Marine replacement divisions bound for Iraq earlier this year to leave their tanks and other heavily armored vehicles behind. American military planners seem to have ignored evidence that armed...

If U.S. Marines were really targeting civilians, or anybody else, there wouldn't be nearly as many wounded as this laughable article suggests. There would be a lot more dead, however. Walt

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ... What's Caidin's track record? Mr. Gustin: His writing "never let the facts get in the way of a good story." He wrote a lot of books, always giving far more...

BTW trying to having a debate with Walt M140 is about as entertaining as talking to a concrete wall :-) Are you -ever- going to apologize for saying that Martin Caidin fabricated the story of the B-17 that survived a head on collision with an FW-190? Should I post the serial number of that...

The United States is shouldering a greater debt burden today than it did during the Great Depression. This seems a no-brainer. Everyone didn't have their hands out in the 1930's, more people lived on farms, Johnson's Great Society was a socialist dream, etc. The U.S. military was very small...
