Something else we need to think about. WHO is powerful enough to have scared the crap out of the congress critters. Their reaction just was NOT normal.

Nah, you just have to find the right threads for some decent conversation. More smokey backroom!
People get a little touchy after they've been attacked all day
In that regard, I have the life of Riley. I'm rarely attacked. ;-)

Look, we've all been here long enough to have seen these "invasions" before; we know the drill.
But this is different; there are new (and old) people who are literally willing to say anything to "win" -- and they aren't on our side.
We all know when it started -- it's the same group EVERY SINGLE TIME.

God! What's your secret, I'll pay money for it! BIG money, probably as much as $20.00 or so :o)

That pretty much comes with the territory. We speak the truth here, it's only logical that they would try to flood the board with lies to cover it up. Our main problem is that most reasonable people flee the board when it happens (I guess that means that WE are not reasonable, but then I'm Scot/Irish and that means me "Let's get the h*ll out of here" button was deactivated at birth).

And I believe it's a third countrySetting up our media is a simple task. Setting up the UAE is another matter...how are you suggesting they were set up?

What's your secret ... My secret is "no secret." Read my posting history.
I'm just conflicted between the effort to get informed and the fun of blind speculation; and the tension between correcting posts and having a life.

Iran. And it hasn't been unnoticed by almost all Iraqis that Iran is financing the bombings and screwing up their country. There will be problems between them. If the UAE reacts to what congress did it will be in their favor. It will allow Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz by blackmail of all the states nearby. That is the second reason Russia is with us on the nuclear situation. Bush made a slam-dunk with India that changed the thinking in that area. It's called flanking.
I'm going to bed. It's warm inside and raining outside. I've been accused of snoring and letting my arms go where they feel they want to go:)
Happy Trails!

I guess, as always, the answer to why the big deal was made over a minor "deal", is to follow the money. More will end up in the dem coffers because the deal was cancelled. That's the big and small of it. The repubs who went along with it, well it's probably also follow the money.

The Representatives we sent to Washington destroyed everything the President and Administration have worked for
in the ME today. All those in both the Congress and the Senate should be recalled and stripped of their positions and replaced with leaders with a backbone. Today they showed their true colours and it wasn't red, white and blue, it was yellow. Not one thought about how this could effect our nation or the WOT, all they thought about was 'me, me, me' and the easiest way they themselves could get reelected.

Maybe George should put some ice on it and move on to his next tone-deaf blunder.
