General Zinni and Pre-War Intelligence
http://www.americanthinker.com/2006/04/general_zinni_and_prewar_intel.html
Short Version:
Former Clinton CENTCOM commander, Anthony Zinni the most prominent of the retired generals attacking Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld now says that, in the run-up to the war in Iraq, “What bothered me ... [was that] I was hearing a depiction of the intelligence that didn’t fit what I knew. There was no solid proof, that I ever saw, that Saddam had WMD.”
But in early 2000, Zinni told Congress “Iraq remains the most significant near-term threat to U.S. interests in the Arabian Gulf region,” adding, “Iraq probably is continuing clandestine nuclear research, [and] retains stocks of chemical and biological munitions ... Even if Baghdad reversed its course and surrendered all WMD capabilities, it retains scientific, technical, and industrial infrastructure to replace agents and munitions within weeks or months.”
Zinni’s a gooood buddy of Pakistan as well.
Very interesting...
Did you see the reference to justoneminute in the comments section?
Right! (Isn’t that what I said? I admit to getting confused once in a while.)
I LOVE “what Not to Wear!” whenever I feel bad about my appearance or wardrobe, I watch Clinton and Stacy and whoever their project is, and suddenly I feel that I am a woman of impeccable taste! LOL!
Under the circumstances, they had no choice but to denounce the use of the term. I suspect that they hear it all the time around the dorm and probably play lots of rap music.
I watched the entire tournament, as I do every year. Rutgers was the surprise team coming from a four seed to make the finals. No team lower than a four seed has ever won the Women's title. Rutgers also upset Connecticut in the Big East tournament, so it has been a banner year for them. Rutgers plays a very tough, hard nosed defensive game holding their opponents to very low totals, among the lowest in the nation. They don't score much, so they rely on their intimidating defense to win. In that context, I can understand some of Imus's remarks.
Vivian Stringer, the Rutger's coach, has taken three different schools to the Final Four, including Rutgers twice. She has had a tough personal life losing her husband suddenly to a heart attack and having a disabled child who is wheelchair bound. I was rooting for her to win her first title. Instead, Pat Summit got her 7th.
In most of Sada's interviews he talked extensively about how massive amounts of chem weapons were flown into Damascus from Iraq. Saddam had ordered the seats removed from two planes, a 707 and 737 and then 50-60 flights hauling tons and tons of wmd's were than flow out of iraq into Damascus, Syria,Pilgosi's home away from home.
He risked his life and that of his family to write the book and do the interviews yet you never ever hear a word about it.Go figure.

I'm having trouble finding an appropriate link -- either they're oversimple or overtechnical (a lot of things that come up in my search are quizzes!). Here's a bit from an indoor gardening site: gardenweb.com
Plants have two distinct phases in their metabolism, one in bright light where they are making sugars from sunlight and carbon dioxide, and one in the dark where they are burning those sugars in a very similar way to animal metabolisms.
There's a much more technical one here, comparing the processes of photosynthesis (gives off oxygen) and respiration (gives off CO2) in plants. PHYSIOLOGY: PLANT GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
Yep. The six ‘old school’ Clinton generals... came out against Rummy like clockwork. Then again, a lot of them were lined up with the Dean or Kerry campaign... too easy.
Zinni, Clark, Shinseki, Eaton, McPeak (another Wes, my hubby served under him, he did serve under Reagan and at the start of Desert Storm under 41 though when Dugan was sacked), Odom (NSA who was wrong and shocked re: Soviets)... the rest. Funny how a lot of opinions changed over the years.
They were too afraid to enter into this new type of war, and had no idea how to do it.
Why do plants give out Oxygen during the day and Carbon dioxide at night?
Ans. Plants, like all living beings, Respire, which means they take in Oxygen and give out carbon dioxide all the time, both at night and during the day. At night, only Respiration occurs and plant give off carbon dioxide. During the day however another process occurs in the green parts of the plant. Using carbon dioxide from the air and water, the green chloroplasts in the leaves trap the energy of the sun to form starch . In this process quite some energy is given out. The proportion of the oxygen given out during this process is far more than carbon dioxide given out when the plant breathes during the day.
I’m sure you saw the Rove had Imus Whacked Pravda story:

Correction: lower than a three [vice four] seed has won the title.
I realize how simplistic my own understanding is -- unfortunately, I remember 7th and 10th grade biology better than college biology (an excruciating boring course for non-science majors!).
He should have called them Whiteniggers and he would have been fine.
