“BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Italian officials said Wednesday an attack on Italian military police headquarters in Nasiriya that killed at least 18 Italians and eight Iraqis earlier in the day would not deter their country's commitment to helping form a new Iraqi government.

Officials said 12 of the dead were Italian Carabinieri, or paramilitary police, four were other soldiers and two were Italian civilians filming a documentary on the Italian military in Iraq.

Iraqi hospital sources said eight Iraqis were killed”

“Yep, pretty standard. You'll always get a mixed bag of acomplishments that no one will agree with completely. I see some good things there and I see some bad things, but of course it's based on my own views.

I was glad to see the partial birth thingy go through.”

“The partial birth abortion bill is the worst on the list.”

“Thank you, Mutt, for reinforcing some of the reasons why I wouldn't vote for this bonehead if bacpac held a gun to my head!


Many of these things are subjective. For instance, which side of the abortion issue you stand on would determine whether you feel some of the items he signed into law is a positive or a negative. So, what's the point here?”

“I am not against abortion in non-birth control instances but there should be limits IMHO. Birthing a near full term baby (that if the head came out it would live) up to the head and then sucking it’s brains out until it’s head caves in crosses those limits. I liken it to the way the NRA gives No ground whatsoever out of fear of some type of domino effect. The pro abortionists seem to fear if they lose this one thing they will lose the whole ball of wax next. It is really a non-issue due to the fact that it has a clause in it allowing it if the health of the mother is at risk. Note the “health”, not just the “physical health”. If the mother will be bummed out by having to take care of a child and not being able to go out on Friday nights, some pro-abortion doc somewhere will sign off on it to be done.”

“If the mother will be bummed out by having to take care of a child and not being able to go out on Friday nights, some pro-abortion doc somewhere will sign off on it to be done.

B.S. propaganda. I allow for an unethical doctor doing this, but if a woman comes in for an elective 3rd trimester abortion (i.e. for any reason other than immediate and severe consequences to physical health), 99.999% of the time they will be turned down. The medical community is capable of policing itself - we don't need legislation on this. And yes, as much as it pains me to agree with a 'slippery slope' argument, in this case it is exactly that.”

““B.S. propaganda.”

Just a little color there on my part. Guilty as charged.

“I allow for an unethical doctor doing this, but if a woman comes in for an elective 3rd trimester abortion (i.e. for any reason other than immediate and severe consequences to physical health), 99.999% of the time they will be turned down.”

I can agree with this.

“The medical community is capable of policing itself - we don't need legislation on this.”

This would depend. If a woman went in for an elective 3rd term in San Francisco, let’s face it, she’ll have a better chance than if she was in, say, Texas. I feel there will be places that specialize in it. Unreasonable to say?”

“Yeah, right!”

“That list kills me. I think it is funny that list is being used to show all the good things Bush has done where I would use it as all the damage he has done to this country. Two sides of the fence.”

“Quiet Tom, the grown ups are talking...
























Thanks Yaminammy...I love that burn!”

“Shut up, sonny boy!”

“NEW YORK (AP) -- A 25-year-old from Georgia who was distraught over President Bush's re-election apparently killed himself at ground zero.

Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits area of the former World Trade Center site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.

Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.

"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the lab, told The Daily News. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic."

Police were investigating how Veal entered the former World Trade Center site, which is protected by high fences and owned by the Port Authority.”

“now thats "courage and conviction"”

“I would have been even more symbolic if he had hanged himself and his name had been Chad.”

“I thought I felt the national IQ curve take a sharp upturn.”

“B.S. How could it be a protest with no suicide note. His family and boos are exploiting a tragic and needless death for their own political motives. If he was that despondent and suicidal, they had a duty to see to it that he got immediate mental health care, even if it meant seeking an involuntary commitment. Shameful.”

“It's not definite that he killed himself over Bush being elected. No matter what the reason was, he was mentally ill, and shouldn't have done it. I guess he didn't hear Clinton telling upset democrats to get over it already (to paraphrase).

If he was against the war, he could have made a difference and become a humanitarian and given aide to victims of the war in Iraq or our troops that have come home injured. It's too bad that no one realized what he was up to before he committed suicide.”

“In the mean time Canada is saying hits to their immigration site in the US have tripled since the election. I guess this guy wasn't the only person looking for a way out.”

“That's crazy to change your citizenship. What happens if the democrats get in on the next election? Are these people going to come back? Can you keep changing your citizenship?

I remember when that Baldwin brother was to have said he was leaving the country once, but he said it wasn't true.”

“That's one way to clean out the "bad/crazy" gene pool. It's shameful how his family used his suicide as some kind of political statement. Maybe he killed himself because of the situation in Sudan...or because the Canadians bought the 4 useless subs from Britain.”

“A bottle of Jack Daniels was found next to his body. Maybe he was an alcoholic and that was his real problem.

Everytime someone commits a criminal act, the family says that the person was wonderful. In this case, they even said his fiance was wonderful. Does a person with a wonderful life and finace kill themselves over politics?”

“From a newspaper article:

Mauney said that other than the war and the election, she didn't know what might have been troubling Veal.

"I told his mother there are some people so sensitive and intelligent and passionate they don't belong in the world the way it is today," she said.

"And if this was something he had to do, it was heroic that he chose the World Trade Center."

Not everyone felt the same way.

"Enough people died in here," said Neil Thomas, 56, a visitor from Michigan. "Nobody else needed to die here."
******* *********** *********

This Mauney person was his supervisor. What an idiot to say that this guy and people like him aren't meant for this world. Is she trying to provoke more suicides? Then to say it's heroic to kill yourself if you pick the World Trade Center to do so, this girl is a real nutcase. If anything, it's an insult to people that died there that didn't want to die. Anyone of those people would have been glad to change places with him and be alive today.”

“Talking about the Baldwin brother....I ALMOST feel sorry for the entertainers that jumped onto Kerry's bandwagon. Now they all got egg on their face....ha ha.

Who the f..k are they to go on the podium, to shake hands and promote Kerry, or Bush for that matter. They're just citizens...like everyone else, what do they really know about politics? If they can go on stage with the politicians....then every Tom, Dick and Joe should be able to also. They are only well known through their job....that's it.”

“I wish Barbara Steisand would leave the country, LMAO!!!! Instead the movie industry ruined Part II of the Meet the Parents movie by putting her in it.”

“If Barbara leaves...I hope she goes south of the border....don't come to Canuckland.

"Mauney said that other than the war and the election, she didn't know what might have been troubling Veal." "And if this was something he had to do, it was heroic that he chose the World Trade Center."

What was troubling Veal...could have been her (Mauney)....she was his supervisor...and what stupid statements from a supervisor.”

“stanlee, I didnt know you were a Canuck. Watch out, cause all the dems want a better America, so they are moving to Canada. I guess that would make a better America, lol.”

“It was a joke, OKAY!!!!!!”

“Maybe the Dems want to "Americanize" us. 1st phase of a diabolical plan. :o)”

“stanlee, but Canada does not have to take the dems in. You don't have a Statue of Liberty that says you have to take in the wretched.


People who can't take a joke line up here:”

“Hey Lips...looks like it's only you and me..and a few others that's up so late (2:50am in Montreal, Quebec). Will be turning in...in about 10 minutes.

As long as immigrants have money to invest...Canada will take them in (alright, we're money whores). Unless they're psychos, criminals and terrorists (that last one is still up to debate).”

Bush wants 'romance' of fighting on front line
By Tabassum Zakaria in Washington

March 14, 2008 09:42am

Article from: Reuters

US President George W. Bush has said he would love to fight in Afghanistan if he was younger.

President Bush suggested fighting on the frontline was "romantic" during a video conference with US military and civilian personnel in the war-torn country.

"I must say, I'm a little envious," he said.

"If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.

"It must be exciting for you ... in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks."

“You are #&%!$in' kidding me!   He had his Big Chance and chickened the hell out!  

If he'd gone to 'Nam, he'd have come back hooked on twenty different drugs.”

“suddenly rosey and tilt are war-mongors ...”

“Bush has been lame duck ever since he claimed he had a "mandate from the people" and then tried to use his "political capital".

What a waste of carbon matter.”

“He had a chance to bring democracy to Vietnam and passed on it.”

“I think George is kute and you should leave him alone. This quote will make you feel guilty, 'I know that our energy policy hasn't been the best lately'. little snicker, in today's BS(not Bear Stearns)session.”

“Yeah we all know how his predecessor dealt with his obligation....

Here is a hint 'I loathe the military"”

“Vietnam is the second fastest growing economy right behind China. Vietnam didn't need democracy to achieve that.

As it turns out, the peasants brought the Communist government to it's knees through subversion of instituted collective farming.

This was "true" revolution by the people.”

“But what about when.....”

“I'm still ROF.   It's like, do a search on 'chickenhawk' and see if a photo of that dip doesn't pop up.

”

“lame duck? If so, then if you don't like whats been going on in the country you should blame the democratic congress. He is either getting his policies through or he isn't. which is it?”

“What a waste of carbon matter. laqtis

Probably two or three days of biodiesel commute there.”
