In Reply to: You can't talk to the Iranian leaders - Backwards typist
It's not that we can't talk to Iranian leaders, it's that we haven't been able to talk to them in the past. You're right that the supreme leader pretty much controls everything; however, I think with what is going on right now, it's not just the president who is in jeopardy, but also the supreme leader. I don't know if you caught any interviews of Moosavi backers before the election, but they were saying what they wanted was to be more in tune with the rest of the world. They are tired of being cut off financially and socially from everyone else. If the people of Iran get their way with this election (which is iffy at best), then perhaps we could wind up with someone we could talk to.
The thing about the US getting involved is that it has to be because we were invited. If they ask for help, then I would help them. If they don't ask for help, then if we did butt in, it would again to them look like we are trying to control their govt, which is about the last thing we need right now.

Excuse my misspellings, I'm typing too fast.

Yet, he goes on business as usual Iraq speeches, guitar playing, and everything *under the sun in response to Katrina* and not until he is criticized that he shows up for photo ops. In my mind this is criminal as well.

George HW Bush IV is the global head of investment management for now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers, not ML. Got my bankrupt companies mixed up...
Correction to above
I did find the US Code on another site. I don't know why it won't pull up on the US Code search. However, the fact is that the whole issue in the original post was regarding Obama's appearance on "Meet the Press" September 7, 2008. He has not been on there in months and the supposed author of the article does not appear to be a real person, certainly not a writer for The Washington Post, or googling his name would have pulled up an abundance of articles he had written.
Correction.
I wrote previously that you responded to my response to GP. I see now that you responded to my response to Chele.
I'm still confused by "OP," though.

I accidentally posted the wrong link above the Norwegian MD video. It should be as it appears below. I am posting the warning again in case anyone views this without having read my other post.
WARNING. These videos are extremely graphic and quite disturbing. If you are faint at heart, have just eaten or if there are children in the room, DO NOT VIEW THESE ACCOUNTS. However, if you are interested in an unsanitized report of this conflict as seen by everybody else outside the US, take a deep breath and a long, hard look at our tax dollars at work.

Norweigian MD says he has only treated ONE Hamas military among the other hundreds of injured and dead.

Here's what you said:
*Like it or not nations are formed through civil war. There are winners and there are losers. It's really very simple. The process has not changed for centuries and it will never change. The strong prevail. The righteous prevail. The minute we take a liberal viewpoint, that's the exact minute we become weak. *
So, the question I had was whether or not you thought Hitler was righteous, since he did prevail. (notice the lack of the word Jews in your statement above).
And yes, I did bring Hitler into the conversation. He systematically tied to wipe out a group of people, which is exactly what Israel is doing right now.
*there is a very fine line between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, a line that was very clearly crossed when just the big bag posted her Hitler remark, a line many have crossed in this discussion by likening the Gaza Strip to a concentration camp. When you say these things you have become an anti-Semitic.*
And that should mean what to me? If Israel's actions right now are indicative of Jews in general, then please by all means, call me an anti-semitic.
However, to me this really has nothing to do with Jews in general. It has everything to do with a government (Israel's) that is simply in the wrong.

Clinton tried to kill Osama and failed. He then passed all information on to Bush, who simply ignored it for 9 months.

His exact words, "we can change the world." From where I sit the world could use a little improvement. It's amazing how changing 1 little word can change the whole meaning.

A correction to my post
Ok, now thinking about it I agree with Backwards typist and LA difference. I do believe in the death penalty for exactly the reasons they gave. When I first wrote I didn't believe in it I was thinking that I would not want an innocent person wrongly put to death. However, we do need the death penalty to deter others from doing heanous (sp?) crimes (even though it still is not enough of a deterrance for others. But I do agree that if someone takes the life, kidnap, rapes, or murders children and the innocent, those remnants of human debris do not deserve to live and sit in a jail, have a bed to sleep in, get to eat 3 meals a day, watch TV, lift weights, etc for the rest of their lives. I believe that if they are found guilty they should be brought to the back of a building, stand in front of a firing squad blindfolded and put an end to their miserable excuse of a life.
What got to me most about this post was your statement about gun control. Still does when I read it again. That actual audacity spoken about nobody needing more than a hunting rifle. As though you actually know what people need or don't need to protect themself. But then again, that is why I'm not a liberal. Not saying all liberals believe that way but most do, and most of them will be the first to enter your home and remove your guns if they had their way.
The constitution may be slowly being eroded away, but luckily nobody had taken away the second ammendment.

Guess you still haven't thought over that obstacle the GOP has to overcome, lest they cancel themselves out of 2012.

correction to my post
Tonight I heard on the news there were around 700,000 people who participated. Last night I heard it was around a million. Tonight I heard it was around 700,000.
But does not change that this was a huge grass roots movement and I hope to be seeing more peaceful protests like this one.
Correction - see message
I meant "not" based on color, size, sex, or religion.
and, I meant husband "can" see marriage should be allowed for all.
Correction, he is called DUBYA sm.
His nick name is "Dubya" not shrub. I saw a post on here the other day actually wishing him, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President". Do some of you people actually think Dubya as incompetent as he is, comes on this board to see your high school fantasies?
Correction... *un* classified document.

Correction - .he's a completely inexperienced

Slight correction on your post.
He did say "I will change the world" at some of his earlier rallies. He changed it to say "We will change the world" just last week. FYI, I've been watching all the rallies for both sides. Just wish I could hear more of Biden.
correction - I don't think it is a bigger problem than it has always been -
I needed to correct my statement. I do think it is a problem that people do not vote on the issues, just do not think it is a new problem. Just brought out more prominently this time because Obama is black.

that's what I always said, but with 1 correction: Replace 'Islamist'
with:
Radical, Militant Fundamentalist
because 'Islamist' is a recently coined expression.

definitely not conservative, somewhere in between, like lots of people.

Let's be real. GOP chances of burying the Bush legacy, coming up with a 21st century platform and choosing a viable candidate by 2012, infinitesimal.
Correction. 2928 days. What excites me is
the idea that by the time another pub has a chance to sit on top, I'll be getting too senile to care anymore.
Torture memos update/correction...(sm)
First, please note that I never said that pics would be released in the OP, only redacted portions of the memos. (Presumably testimonies of the prisoners) The previous thread about this turned into a debate about releasing pics, and I erroneously didn't catch and correct that. My bad.

Correction. Latest numbers show a 6.5 lead.
how many seats in Congress adn the Senate the democrats gained? The message seems pretty clera to me. How do you keep that hatred from eating you up from the inside out? Obama won because desptie GOP's best efforts, they trust their future more to him than McCain. No amount of negativity can change the feeling of uplift, hope, excitement and enthusiasm for our President-elect. I feel sorry for you that you seem so determined to keep yourself down in the mud pit. Election's over. Your party needs your attention. Your country needs your help. Go figure.
Correction - I meant wait before assuming, not "want"

Bless your heart, my faze was entirely right, your correction of me is entirely wrong
Next time you want to be the spelling police, please be sure you have it right and do not come across looking like a complete fool. Ha, ha on you!!!
