An extensive amount, truth be told. A few tid-bits of knowledge for you: - environmental groups were invited to take part in Mr. Cheney's formulation of U.S. energy policy. They declined to attend. How much coverage did that gem of info get from the left-media? - bin Laden's family have renounced him for years. Steve Coll's latest book - Secret Wars - expounds on this a bit. Good reading. - I've worked in DoD and with DoJ before and know many aspects of their operations well. Your assertions in this thread are quite humorous. I know a lot more, but those three alone make your assertions here quite funny. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Quade, I don't want you risking any money, so here's what I'll do. Let's say nothing happens that dramatically alters the state of world affairs - I'm talking huge here, such as a Chinese declaration of war against the US, European declaration of war against the US, WMD attack on US soil, etc. If no such event occurs during GWB's presidency I'll send a check for US$1000 to Cancer Research Institute or Catholic Medical Mission Board or St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in YOUR name if non-volunteer U.S. civilians are forced into service en masse against their will to bear arms on the battlefield against our enemies. No need to reciprocate - my treat.

Nyet, Komrade BillVon. Rock the Vote was not discussing the issue - Rock the Vote was maliciously misrepresenting the issue, as you well know, in an attempt to scare younger voters. Diiiiisgusting. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Why, no, of course not. I would immediately get their email address and type it into every website possible asking them to send me information on their products. Then print out a copy of the first ammendment, bar rule #11, my ass, and a picture of Bubba Clinton and fax it to them. The lawyer, being a J.D., would undoubtedly see the error of his ways and stop being a moron...or face the consequences. Au contraire Monsieur BillVon...read below, si'l vous'plait.... That's exactly what was happening. This left wing scare tactic is paaaathetic. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Do you think that school teaches a course in logic? Perhaps they could have special guest lecturer Ted Kennedy give a series of lectures on cause and effect - why he didn't REALLY kill Mary Jo! sKerry could then follow Kennedy with a talk on how he really voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it. Bwaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Happy Birthday MissKriss! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Everyone...all together now...we want them to hear us...say... THANK YOU DEMOCRATS!!!!! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

DoJ has PLANS for prosecuting organized crime in St. Louis - does that equate to PLANS for a draft? DoD has PLANS for recruiting next year - does that equate to PLANS for a draft? Come to think of it, I've got PLANS to get really drunk tonight! Does THAT equate to PLANS for a draft? sKerry has a PLAN to do virtually anything and everything under the sun for America in the next four years in case a catastrophe occurs and he's elected (never mind that he couldn't do jack shit in 20 years as a Senator). Is that PLANning for a draft? The answer to all of the above questions is NO. DoD has files and files and files of contingency plans - developed at different war colleges, think tanks, and internally - for many different things. Having contingency plans is a GOOD thing. In fact, there are contingency plans for a draft - the article Bill posted describes one of many, I'm sure. The one described therein was for a national emergency - let's say simultaneous biological attacks - in which the nation's military medical corps was overwhelmed. You DON'T want the government forming contingency PLANs for such things? Odd form of patriotism you have there, but to each his own. I prefer such contingency plans to be in existence and re-hashed every so often with as much input from knowledgable parties as possible. The Dims are doing their usual here - playing on the ignorance of the populace to scare the hell out of them. They do it every election year to our elderly with regards to MEDICARE and Social Security. This time their targeting young folks with 'the draft'. Paaaaaathetic. The fact that this scare has actually been taken seriously is a testament to the failure of the American education system. (Thanks NEA! Who did the NEA endorse again? sKerry? What a surprise!) Stating there are conscription plans that will be executed immediately or shortly following a Bush re-election is absurd and an outright lie. However, I'm surprised GWB's folks did state that to Rock the Vote, as they should be accustomed to such lies by now. I have no problem with them doing so, however. Tell me, Bill, was sKerry's letter to TV stations airing SwiftVet ads laying the grounds for a lawsuit? How about his & his staff's letters to Sinclair Broadcasting? To book stores carrying UNFIT FOR COMMAND? And speaking of lawsuits - why hasn't sKerry sued Mr. O'Neill yet? After all - Mr. O'Neill openly invited him to do so if he had a problem with either the book OR the ads OR Mr. O'Neill's statements. Why hasn't he, I wonder? sKerry wouldn't have to be personally involved - just hire an attorney to place the lawsuit on his behalf. It' CAN'T be because Mrs. Kerry couldn't afford a good lawyer for her hubby, now. So WHY? Oh, so much fun. However, I digress. This draft scare stuff is bullshit. Believe it if it makes you feel better. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Ahhh...so now the existence of contingency plans equates to plans for a draft. This is a pathetic scare attempt by the left. Nothing new. They try and scare seniors every year with SS/Medicare. Now they're trying to scare younger folks with 'the draft is coming! The Draft is coming!' The left-wingers know the draft isn't coming. They know that the only folks who voted for Rangel's idiotic bill were Democrats. They know that the average American is a moron and will believe the lies they tell them, so they cower behind such lies as I've already mentioned in order to motivate folks to vote for them. Pathetic. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You don't really know a lot about how Cheney formulated our energy policy, the Bin Laden family, or DoJ/DoD operations, do you? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Well, Tuna, idiot-boy Ramsay Clarke DID draw up some articles of impeachment for GWB - but they were so goat-f%$# stupid they were never used. Rhino will end his tirade and come to his senses sooner or later. I'm SUUUUUUUUUURE Mr. Kerry could have done better......NOOOOOOOOOOOT! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

How is Harken Oil doing these days? Tuna - you forgot that he voted in such a manner that Ted Kennedy may rightfully be considered the more conservative Senator from Massachussetts. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Bush 'allowed' 3000 people to get killed? Absurd. Absolutely inane. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

LoL. Everything? I think not. A respectable amount? Absolutely. Is there a massive amount more that could be done? Oh yes. When undertaking anything in the realm of government, one must always take into account fiscal, political, temporal, and feasibility constraints - among others. Given the vagueness of the warnings we had - that have been released at any rate - I don't think the pre-9/11 actions taken by the administration were negligent or inept in the realm of security - at least no more so than any other administration of years past, Republican or Democrat. Now there are several post-9/11 concerns that I have with regards to the Bush administration's actions. The reorganization of governmental defense and intelligence agencies that resulted from the stand-up of DHS is a big mistake in many respects, I do believe. I think the old system could have been modified and that the DHS consolidation has created many managerial problems that could have been fixed by pro-active management of inter-agency working groups by senior level officials. I also didn't like the manner in which DHS was stood-up initially, especially with regards to budget authority and such, but that's nit-picking. That being said, I think that the DHS can and will operate effectively, but still do not like it. Other areas of concern that I have are foreign policy initiatives, port security - HUGE issue here, disaster preparedness, and several others. But the aforementioned fiscal constraint is a major major issue when discussing these. I could write an essay on any of the above just on managerial/fiscal concerns alone. I digress. Criticize the President all you like, but the word 'treason' is not apropos by any standard of reason. These insinuations add nothing to political discourse. Those touting them are using Hitler's old propaganda maxim - lies have inertia - to their advantage. If you tell a lie often enough it will be viewed as truth.

Brussel sprouts. I cannot even stand the smell of them. I would persevere through an assbeating and still not eat them. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I've read excerpts of it and am quite educated, thank you. Your insinuations that GWB and his NSC ignored blatant warnings about OBL are absurd. The warnings were vague at best and your conclusions have been formed after viewing the facts with the benefit of hindsight. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Rice had the memo and Bush ignored it, eh? Please enlighten us as to which memo you are referring. I hope you're not embarrassing yourself by referring to the infamous PDB... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

If I were the requisite 35 years of age I would vote for myself. Saturday Nite Live producers and talk show comedians would LOVE all of the material they'd get from President JACKASS. However, I think I'd have to say Badnarik or Bush otherwise. Now in '08, I'll HAVE the 35 years.... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I preferred the floating targets when I was still a URL, but did spend a bit of time aboard submarines. Good folks, all. Glad to see you're skydiving.

I've read excerpts of it and still plan on voting for Bush. Kerry's plans for the economy, health care, defense, and taxation scare the living hell out of me. His stances on social issues are 180 out from my own in most cases. I'm voting against Kerry, therefore I'm voting FOR Bush. They have both angered me, truth be told, but oh well. Bush's political philosophies are far more in line with my own than the most liberal Senator in the Senate's anyway.

I don't think it will ever be an ammendment and don't believe it should be.

I finally received my voter registration card in the mail.... ...one LESS chance sKerry has for taking the great state of FL! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Look at what you've wrought Seb! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Naaah. Pop merely places a high value on his testicles and would like to keep them attached. The pics in question WERE quite nice however... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

OK! Sooner the better! I think Mo' has great talent as an artist, despite her unwilling canvass. Poor sweet and innocent Vinny was simply ambling about in a drunken stupor when mighty skydivexxl choke slammed him into the ground and then Mo' and TitaniumLegs pounced on him with a magic marker. I think I might have passed out for a bit. Wish you could have been there Lizzie! Pop's BBQ was in rare form. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
