[Mo1]

I beg to differ with you, a normal life is not campaigning for President

A normal life for you and I

But for Elizabeth Edwards .. campaigning is her life

it is much too tiring and stressful, and especially taxing on your immune system. Meals and Sleep are not easily achievable in that always "on" mode, and it is lunacy for them to think it is. Give them a few weeks to come to their senses, and choose a quality of life that is much better for beating Stage 4 Cancer, and best for all, especially their Children

I Agree .. and reality will soon set in

That is when we will really find out what is more important to John Edwards .. his wife and family ... or being President?

[altura]

Hate to reveal my ignorance but what the heck is his father's name? (Greg Kelly, I mean)

[Pukin Dog]

They held the crew for 11 days and have never returned the plane.

Not true.

America flew in a cargo aircraft, the plane was disassembled by technicians and brought back to the states. The critical gear was tossed into the sea before the aircraft in question landed in China. What remains is rusted out airframe, engines, tires. Nothing of remaining value is still in China.

[kabar]

On the other hand, I don't agree that we could not severely disrupt their nuclear ambitions just because we might not destroy each and every target.

Interrupt, not eliminate and such a bombing may strengthen the hand of the mullahs. The reality is that Iran could buy nuclear weapons or nuclear materials using its considerable oil wealth. North Korea or disaffected scientists from Pakistan or the former Soviet Union could jump start their nuclear program.

The Iranians are struggling for cash, destruction of much or most of their nuclear buildings just might be the blow that stops them all together.

Or it may consolidate the hold on power of the current regime and squash domestic oppostion because the homeland has been attacked by the West. And what would such an attack have on our presence in Iraq and in the region? Or in the Islamic world? Or on our relations with China [a big buyer of Iranian oil], Russia, and Pakistan? Or domestically in the US?

[saveliberty]

Don't look now, but it may be a plea for us to fund it

[altura]

I heard that, but I thought I misunderstood her.

I thought she was saying that while she served at the pleasure of The Boss, many other career people did not and they were treated badly as well.

I thought that because I could not believe she would say what she apparently did say.

And, by the way, thanks a lot Chrissie for calling her on that absolute lie.

[AliVeritas]

Sorry, hope I don't break the thread. Gotta run and thought you guys may use some of this (Send Iran posts to Harry Reid and Pelosi):

Key Elements of U.N. Resolution on Iran

The U.N. Security Council imposed new sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program, expanding on sanctions approved in December. The key points of the two measures: /snip/ A call on all nations ''to exercise vigilance and restraint'' in supplying tanks, combat aircraft and other heavy weapons to Iran. An asset freeze on 15 individuals and 13 organizations and companies.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=2979002

(Ummm... let's see... exercise vigilance and restraint... okay... asset freeze on 15 people and 13 organizations... How many folks in Iran and how many terror supporters?... Nevermind, forget I posted this)

New UN Human Rights Body
Comes Under Fire (from who you ask... wait for it...)

On the heels of a well-received report on Darfur by the newly revamped UN Human Rights Council, the body is in danger of having its power stripped away. The EU says, give the council more time. Cuba is leading a bid by a number of countries to strip the Human Rights Council of its power to investigate and condemn violations of human rights, a move some activists warn could jeopardize the entire UN's credibility.

Calling it murder is absurd! (Preach Bob!)

On Nov. 19, 2005, United States Marines killed 24 civilians in an Iraqi town called Haditha. The dead included men, women and children. This past December, four Marines were charged with murder. But was it murder? Let's examine the events that led up to that terrible day.

Kroger stores reopen
after widespread computer glitch

Snip:

All Kroger stores in Greater Cincinnati were closed for several hours Friday night and into this morning because of a computer glitch related to the nationwide pet-food recall. But all are now open for business. The glitch affected more than 1,000 stores from Detroit to Atlanta... Affected stores were located in Atlanta, Columbus, Detroit, Dayton, Indianapolis, Memphis and Little Rock...

Wow! Great perspective!

[altura]

The leadership of Iran is insane. That's one explanation.

[AliVeritas]

Speaking of which... you'll like this:

You have my vote? Doing anything between now and 2016?

[saveliberty]

I am not suggesting to go and blast them, I am saying that we should be open to this being a bigger issue than it might otherwise seem.

Pukin Dog raises an excellent point that this may be due to the vessel that the British intercepted.

[kabar]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Elections have consequences. Public opinion counts and we are losing that battle.

[Bahbah]

I can't remember his first name, but he is, or was, I believe, the Chief of Police in New York.

[saveliberty]

BTW in prior posts, I think that I was very clear that I'm not advocating invading Iraq-- quite the contrary. However, there's no call at this point to pull back from what's going on in Iraq.

[altura]

Hey, you just brought up something that nobody's talking about... and that I never even thought about.

What the heck was on that ship?????

You may just deserve another award.

Oh, shut my mouth!

As Dr. Frankenstein once remarked, "I've created a monster.'

Thanks Samantha!

Just watched a very interesting panel on Woof woof/cnn with our guy Ed Gillespie, DBM/CNN reporter Dana bash and some other former high Clintonista official, black lady, forgot her name.

They started talking about the budget fiasco and after Gillespie got through pointing out all the pork and how low a trick it was Wooof Woof shifted gears in seconds leaving the issue that seemed sure to go down in flames for the dems relatively unscathed.

It really showed how much control the rats/dbm have over issues when they are in control. Thank God for Rush and others our side.

They then shifted to how "evil" Rove and others were for firing the poor 7 attorneys (they have evidently given up on the one who was quitting anyway).

Bash(how appropriately named) did her best to spin the issue as "politically driven" but woof woof will never ever have Gillespie on again. He was just too good for the rats to defend against.

Ray Kelly, NY Police commissioner.

[altura]

Oh, thank God.

I thought maybe it was Gene Kelly and I adored him.

Well, come to think about it, there is a resemblance.

[Txsleuth]

Thanks for the nuggets today.

Re: Mark Halperin. He should have been OUT back when the memo was discovered in 2004.

However...his father is VERY involved in the socialist wing of the lefty party, so I sure wasn't surprised.

Look for Halperin to join Politico.com ....and then, maybe as a campain advisor to Hillary.
