Free Republic

The Dominican Republic and most of Central America just agreed to CAFTA with the USA. Their debts are massive and they are unable to pay them. Their electricity is off for 8 to 10 hours a day. Conditions are even terrible for the well to do. The President of the Dominican requests help from a rich country. President Chavez of Venesuela, is offering discounts on oil to any Carribean country as long as they use socialist measures in their country and teach the children socialism. Even with the discounts their nations will continue in a downward spiral to abject poverty...

To make a bomb with uranium, the concentration of U-235 must be boosted from less than 2percent in the natural ore to more than 20 percent, at least. From the end of the Gulf War to 1998, inspectors systematically uncovered and destroyed buildings and equipment at Tuwaitha, Al Tarmiya, and Ash Sharquat, where Iraq had secretely maintained extensive facilities in which uranium was to be enriched by means of electromagnetic isotope separation. Iraq was using the approached to uranium enrichment used in the Manhattan Project, which is not used anymore in the United States. Inspectors also destroyed Iraq’s nuclear weapons...

Editor: Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the United States, the authors of the seminal 1999 Chinese People's Liberation Army text on 21st Century "assymetrical" warfare, titled Unrestricted Warfare, were interviewed in the September 13, 2001 People's Republic of China-owned Ta Kung Pao newspaper in Hong Kong. The following are excerpts from the interview with the military theorists, Senior Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui:

From Alexandria in July of 1941, Randolph Churchill reported to his father as the British waited for Rommel to attack Egypt. In the midst of a peril that famously concentrated mind and spirit, he wrote, "You can see generals wandering around GHQ looking for bits of string." Apparently these generals were not, like their prime minister, devoted to Napoleon’s maxim, "Frappez la masse, et le reste vient par surcroit," which, vis-à-vis strategic or other problems, bids one to concentrate upon the essence, with assurance that all else will follow in train, even bits of string. Those with more than a ...

"Sudan is a horror without parallel." --Rep. Dick Armey "There is perhaps no greater tragedy on the earth today." --Secretary of State Colin Powell Dear Friend, The holocaust in Sudan is worsening. Two million are already dead. Now, 3 million more Sudanese in the South are at the brink of starvation. Millions will likely die this summer unless we take action now! Because you have stood with the CENTER FOR RECLAIMING AMERICA and Coral Ridge Ministries in recent weeks, I'm asking you to join with me and other Christian leaders in an urgent open letter to President Bush and Congress. ...

In the days—simultaneously not so very long ago and in the ancient past—when communism seemed a permanent feature of the political landscape, I traveled extensively on the other side of the looking glass that divided the world into two opposed camps. I did not take with me as literary guide and compass to my travels one of the Marxist-Leninist "classics": not because the works of Marx and Lenin failed to explain anything I found through that looking glass, but because the explanation they offered was all too obvious and self-evident. If it was difficult for a visitor to find ...

Mr. Rumsfeld, 68, is said to be the favored candidate to run the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies because of his past government experience, which includes being defense secretary from 1975 to 1977, a congressman from Illinois and an ambassador to NATO. In addition to past government experience, Mr. Rumsfeld also was picked for the CIA post because of his success in leading a special commission of intelligence and defense specialists in 1998 that reversed a CIA estimate on emerging international missile threats, which critics charged was politically skewed.

The Al Gore Democrats, the media and Jesse Jackson say there is now a great cloud over George W. It is the same cloud which Moses followed in the desert. God's Cloud. The Al Gore Democrats have been ripping themselves apart. They have an OZONE HOLE over them.

The bad news for Republicans is that half the American people voted for 285 new federal programs, billions in new taxes and the largest projected expansion of the federal budget since the Great Society. The Republicans' victory was barely achieved against a campaign that was badly run by a leader who was widely perceived to lack character and integrity, who was vice president in the most corrupt and disgraced administration in history and who himself broke election laws, lied to federal investigators and seemed compulsive in his inability to stay close to the facts.
