No USA Cameras or Tape recorders allowed at the US soldiers Court Marshel Hearings tomorrow, However, Al Jazera is allowed to run a live broadcast from the court room.

Chris You're a strong supporter of an administration who's all too happy to cover their own asses and those of the military brass by holding quick court martials for a few kids and offering them as penance to the arab media. That's great, when are people gonna realize that the reason they do bad and stupid things is because they (the administration) are bad and stupid? Never go to a DZ strip show.

Maybe, but what would it be like had Al Gore won? Oh, well for one thing he wouldn't have done anything to change security after 9/11 nor would he have sent in retaliation for it, and woul def not have gone into Iraq to search for wepons of mass destruction nor chemical warfare. So I would guess that right now you and many others myself and my children included would have anthrax or have already passed away from anthrax.... so stupid and not doing things right, maybe, but better than the alternitive choices.

It's "cameras and tape recorders." And why shouldn't American audiences be privy to the real time coverage of a hearing in our military paid for by our tax dollars, on actions which supposedly broke our laws? So, no USA cameras... So what does this mean, the American public gets clips from Al Jazeera and clips disseminated by the Pentagon, neither of which will be the full story. Why not? Never go to a DZ strip show.

This argument is silly, that's like me saying to someone who doesn't like Clinton: Well imagine if George HW Bush had won. It would have been another great depression because there's no way he would have responded to the economy the way Clinton did. He would have never followed the advice of Greenspan and we wouldn't have had the money to pay the soldiers or build the weapons to bomb Iraq but it wouldn't matter anyway because we'd just be owned by Japan! See, silly. Just like what you said. Never go to a DZ strip show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,131 #9 May 19, 2004 >Maybe, but what would it be like had Al Gore won? -He would have been in Iraq sooner; he was one of the biggest hawks in the Clinton administration. -He would have gotten UN approval before going in. He's more into the boring diplomacy stuff than Bush. (and more boring period.) -9/11 and the ensuing Afghanistan invasion wouldn't have been much different. No president is going to let anyone get away with attacking the US, no matter which side of the aisle they are on. >So I would guess that right now you and many others myself and my >children included would have anthrax or have already passed away >from anthrax.... Uh, you realize we had an anthrax attack while BUSH was in office, and that people died from that, right? And that it came from cultures out of a US military research center, right?

See, silly. Just like what you said. If you look at economic history a little closer, the two single greatest quarters of growth throughout the 1990s were the last two quarters of GHW Bush's administration. Those quarters were the result of Greenspan and the administration finally seeing eye-to-eye on beginning to lower interest rates (BTW, GW Bush has just re-nominated Greenspan). Despite that, there was no secret that GHW Bush and Greenspan weren't "buddies". Meanwhile, as the big burst we all heard in 2000 indicated, the 90s ended up being a result of higher-taxes, and a bubble economy too focused on "services" sectors and the beginning of exporting of manufacturing on an almost mass scale. It was during that time that the PacRim ecomomies slumped into their own recession.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

benny 0 #15 May 19, 2004 Hmm, well, apparently you totally missed the point of what I typed... or the point I made of it being silly. The funny thing is that my point was that if I had badmouthed George HW like that then I'd be wrong. But you just have to go on about how good he actually was. But I wasn't really saying anything about the man, just that the type of argument is silly, because, mainly, nobody knows what things would be like if someone different were in office because they're not!
