nice job!
Kerry: Bush Exaggerates Claims About Zarqawi
Talk about irresponsible
That's "segue" not "segway."
We see how well Bush handled several months of vicious media abuse; let's see how well Kerry can handle a little abuse.
In 2000, Gov Bush reimbursed the State of Texas for every day he wasn't at his post as governor. In 1996, Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole resigned from the Senate to run for President.
Mr. Frenchkerry will certainly not resign his seat in the Senate. He doesn't want to be unemployed after January.
Someone ought to do a comparison of Senator Dole and Senator Kerry.
Both ran for President; one had the integrity to quit his Senate job; one didn't.
Both were in wars. One was a true hero; the other wasn't.
I Americanized the word from its French origins.
How often do you hear Bush mentioning his opponent in a speech...rarely, if ever.
One is a negative campaign, and one is a campaign of hope, promise, and a direction.
"...How about expenses....has he charged any to his Senate office account?"
Excellent question. I'd really like to kmow the answer to that one.
That's you? Well, bully for you! Well-done, well-done indeed!
Dan
bttt, this sob should step down, but democrtas never do the ethical thing
I know for Kerry it's chump change, but I wish I had a $160K-a-year job that didn't even require me to show up.
Way to go jmstein!
Same as lachrymous Joe Lieberman.....
That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing Kerry Segway into a pile of fish-cleaning "left-overs".
The problem is that he likes to be French and thus he segues....and it's much less exciting.
Kerry is starting to remind me of "Joe Izuzu" from the old commercials where he rode around with a bullhorn shouting insults about competing cars.
I don't think becoming obsessed with your opponent is a winning strategy.
Excellent Jonathan, glad you're on our side. LOL
Actually...it would be a good name for a business I think! I am serious...just when I first read it I had to laugh. Sometimes phonetic spellings are better anyway than F-----...I won't say the F-word! F the F-----!
I guess the morons haven't heard about Salman Pak. Or maybe they just think we haven't.
Former Iraqi military officers have described a highly secret terrorist training facility at Salman Pak, where both Iraqis and non-Iraqi Arabs receive training on hijacking planes and trains, planting explosives in cities, sabotage, and assassinations.
The Salman Pak biological warfare facility was located on a peninsula caused by a bend in the Tigris river, approximately five kilometers (km) from the arch located in the town of Salman Pak. The facility area comprised more than 20 square km, and might have been known as a farmers (or agricultural) experimentation center. The peninsula was fenced off and patrolled by a large guard force. Immediately inside and to the east of the fence line were two opulent villas: the larger built for Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and the other for his half-brother, Barazan al-Tikriti. A main paved road ran through the center of the Salman Pak facility/peninsula. [GulfLINK]
Plans were made in the mid-1980's to develop the Salman Pak site into a secure biological warfare research facility. Dr Rihab Taha, head of a small biological weapons research team, continued to work with her team at al-Muthanna until 1987 when it moved to Salman Pak, which was under the control of the Directorate of General Intelligence.
Located at the facility are several buildings. The probable main research building at the site is a modern building, composed of twenty four rooms, housing a major BW research facility. Using current technology the research area alone had sufficient floor space to accommodate several continuous-flow or batch fermenters that could produce daily sufficient anthrax bacteria to lethally assault hundreds of square kilometers. Adjacent to the research building is a storage area which contains four munitions type storage bunkers with lightning arrestors. Two of these bunkers have facilities for storage of temperature sensitive biological material. Approximately a mile down the road from the research area is a complex US intelligence believed to be an engineering area. One building in this complex was thought to contain a fermentation pilot plant capable of scale up production of BW agents. A construction project comprising several buildings was begun in early 1989 adjacent to the engineering area, and was near completion in 1990. This new complex was assessed as a pharmaceutical production plant. As such, this facility would have an extensive capability for biological agent production. [GulfLINK]
Salman Pak, located 30-40 km SE of Baghdad, engaged in laboratory scale research on Anthrax, Botulinum toxin, Clostridium, perfringens (gas gangrene), mycotoxins, aflatoxins, and Ricin. Researchers at this site carried out toxicity evaluations of these agents and examined their growth characteristics and survivability.
Iraq told UN inspectors that Salman Pak was an anti-terror training camp for Iraqi special forces. However, two defectors from Iraqi intelligence stated that they had worked for several years at the secret Iraqi government camp, which had trained Islamic terrorists in rotations of five or six months since 1995. Training activities including simulated hijackings carried out in an airplane fuselage [said to be a Boeing 707] at the camp. The camp is divided into distinct sections. On one side of the camp young, Iraqis who were members of Fedayeen Saddam are trained in espionage, assassination techniques and sabotage. The Islamic militants trained on the other side of the camp, in an area separated by a small lake, trees and barbed wire. The militants reportedly spent time training, usually in groups of five or six, around the fuselage of the airplane. There were rarely more than 40 or 50 Islamic radicals in the camp at one time.
Way to go !
