February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States warned North Korea (news - web sites) that it would face action from the international community if it does not stop exporting dangerous weapons and other illegal activities.

"If North Korea will not act, it will find the United States, its allies and other partners equally prepared to respond with measures that ensure North Korea cannot threaten our countries or international stability," said Mitchell Reiss, the department's director of policy planning.

You have to wonder about New York with those - they'd rather risk the lawsuits then repair what they know is bound to cause injury or death. It's like a big potential electrocution lotto (sarcasm required for their efforts). Wish we could parade Al Qaeda members over them repeatedly during rainy weather!

Thanks StillProud; but I meant orphans in the US that reside in states that don't have orphanages and rely on adoption of foster parents.

What happens with the unplaced ones?

Hauling garbage to the dump in a sports car with sun roof just was no too classy :))

Hey, you're making fun of how we get our trash to the dump. We have a little sports car with a sunroof and we load it up and take it down once a week. Do I need to buy an SUV or a pickup truck to be classy? ***smiles***

Another article? Today? I am afraid I missed it...Will search for it in the morning. The laxity at the borders really is sickening, isn't it?

[MamaDearest]

Otherwise, JFKerry has been too busy politicking to notice what's going on in the USA yet alone the rest of the world.

If it wasn't negative, it probably didn't come out of JFKerry's mouth.

[nw_arizona_granny]
