DOW IN 2000 WAS OVER 12000! This stock market SUCKS!

Posted by: TimCat! at April 18, 2006 09:50 PM

Are you lying or just ignorant?

The Dow never got above 11,xxx in 2000.

When Democrats in my home state of Wisconsin voted at their state party convention last spring to call for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, they added the name of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to the list.

That still sounds like an appropriate roster for removal.

While there is much attention this week to the call from an ever widening circle of former military commanders in the failed Iraq War and other recent U.S. misadventures -- including a half dozen retired generals -- who have called for Rumsfeld's firing, how much sense does make to get rid of the Secretary of Defense when his actions have been so clearly a reflection of goals and strategies developed by the president and vice president?

No doubt, Rumsfeld has mishandled the Iraq invasion and occupation.

But would another Secretary of Defense chosen by Bush and Cheney do any better?

Doesn't the current crisis have more to do with the administration's misguided project of regime change and nation building than with the approach that Rumsfeld has taken to it?

If the problem is with the project, then shouldn't the focus be on the serious task of removing Bush and Cheney, rather than the cosmetic change of names of the office of the Secretary of Defense?

While there is no question that Rumsfeld should go, there ought to be some question about whether extracting one rotten apple from the barrel will cure what ails this administration.

It is true that the forced removal of Rumsfeld could further weaken a president whose popularity is already in steep decline. But it could also create the false impression of a course correction even as Bush and Cheney -- and Secretary of Defense Joe Lieberman -- steer the U.S. further into quagmire.

6 years zero return! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Somebody tell Randi Rhodes that just because a person was abused does not make them any more likely to abuse others. She's spouting off when she hasn't done her homework. Last thing I read said that conclusion could not be corroborated by studies. It's a lot more complex than that, and concerns what kind of personality type the abused individual is.

Why do people go to therapists? Ask some therapists. I bet they'll say most of their clients use therapy to work through having been abused or victimized by PREDATORY types! Predatory types, by contrast, don't go to therapists to learn to stop being predatory; predatory types are just fine being predators.

This "cycle of abuse" Randi is spouting about is not what she thinks, that is, a kind of cycle wherein predation is taught.

Instead, if there is a "cycle", it is a cycle wherein the victims' silence and fear of the predators keeps the predators safe and hidden, and -- if the victim does challege the predator -- our society's propensity to shame the weak and victimized trumps justice for the victim! It's a Catch-22.

Rove on the Stand?

...

The defense is likely to call Mr. Rove to provide testimony regarding Mr. Libby's conversations with Mr. Rove concerning reporters' inquiries about Ms. Wilson, as expressly discussed in the indictment.

Rove on the stand, being examined by Fitzgerald? Neither Rove nor the White House can want that. Fitzgerald has not indicted Rove, and his exact role in the leak remains murky--though he reportedly was the second source for the Bob Novak column that disclosed Valerie Wilson's CIA employment. And he was the firt source for Matt Cooper of Time. If he hits the witness stand, Fitzgerald can ask much. What exactly did Rove do before the leak? What did he say to Novak? How did he learn about Valerie Wilson's CIA status? Who else knew? Did he talk to Bush about this? After the leak investigation began--and Bush publicly said he wanted to know who the leakers were--did Rove inform his boss that he had been one of leakers? If so, why did Bush not keep his promise to fire anyone who had leaked classified information? This could be a rather dramatic moment in the Libby trial. Will Libby really put Rove (and the White House) through this? Or are his lawyers merely bluffing for now--in order to burden Fitzgerald with various documents requests? For his part, Fitzgerald has said he has no plans to call Rove as a witness.

Low-income Katrina victims face eviction

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12375321/

GULFPORT, Miss. - When the Watersmark apartment complex advertised its “grand reopening” five months after Hurricane Katrina, the announcement stunned tenants living there in storm-damaged apartments.

Weeks earlier, they say, they were told by the management that they had to get out because the building was uninhabitable.

With the grand reopening, it suddenly became clear “they wanted me out of here so they can remodel the apartment and raise the rent,” said Cassandra Plummer, who staved off eviction after her lawyer protested. “The price is going to be way more than we can afford.”

Lawyers for low-income tenants say they have been fighting a wave of evictions since the Aug. 29 hurricane laid waste to tens of thousands of houses and apartments on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Accusations of housing-related price gouging also abound in Louisiana.

In some cases, attorneys claim, landlords are trying to capitalize on the region’s severe housing shortage by evicting poorer tenants to make room for those who can afford higher rents.

“It’s very disheartening,” said Rick Glassman, managing attorney of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. “People are getting re-victimized. Not only are they getting evicted months after Katrina, but they’re getting evicted on very harsh terms.”

Apparently undeterred by Limbaugh's recent reference to alleged rape victim as a "ho[]," Rumsfeld again appeared on Rush Limbaugh

http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180010

Just weeks after radio host Rush Limbaugh called the woman who alleged she was raped by members of Duke University's lacrosse team a "ho[]," Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld appeared on the April 17 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show to discuss the growing number of retired U.S. military generals who are calling for his resignation over his handling of the situation in Iraq.

During the interview, Rumsfeld told Limbaugh that calls for his resignation "would pass," and that "the sharper the criticism comes, sometimes the sharper the defense comes from people who don't agree with the critics." The interview marked at least the third appearance by Rumsfeld, who was also on the show on May 16, 2002, and December 16, 2005. Vice President Dick Cheney and President Bush have also appeared on Limbaugh's show, Cheney several times in recent years, despite Limbaugh's consistent use of his program as a vehicle for spreading extreme, hateful speech

Limbaugh's interviews with Bush administration officials are also re-broadcast by other outlets. ABC's World News Tonight, for example, aired portions of Rumsfeld's April 17 interview on that night's broadcast -- without noting the controversial comments Limbaugh is known for. In addition, government websites routinely post transcripts of Limbaugh's radio interviews, further legitimizing his broadcast for visitors to the White House's and Defense Department's websites

Blitzer missed opportunity to ask Bennett about his comment that Pulitzer-winning reporters should be jailed

http://mediamatters.org/items/200604180009

On the April 18 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer discussed the growing calls for Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld's resignation with CNN political analysts William Bennett and Donna Brazile. But at no point in the so-called "Strategy Session" did Blitzer take the opportunity to ask Bennett about his remark earlier in the day that New York Times reporters James Risen and Eric Lichtblau and Washington Post staff writer Dana Priest -- who won Pulitzer Prizes on April 17 -- should be jailed. "I don't think what they did is worthy of an award," Bennett said on the April 18 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show. "I think what they did is worthy of jail."

Future episodes will include interviews with other Ohio bloggers, as well as the opportunity for listeners to call in.

Also, if he has his own PC/laptop (and don't be hitting your forehead again), and it has ever been used on the down side of a DoD server, I wouldn't trust it.

Experts Ponder A Future Of New Sex Gizmos, Robots

"What is very likely to be present before 2016 would be a multi-sensual experience of virtual sex," said Julia Heiman, director of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington.

"There is a possibility of developing erotic materials for yourself that would allow you to create a partner of certain dimensions and qualities, the partner saying certain things in that interaction, certain things happening in that interaction."

A field dubbed "teledildonics" already allows people at two remote computers to manipulate electronic devices such as a vibrator at the other end for sexual purposes.

"People who use it are just blown away," said Steve Rhodes, president of Sinulate Entertainment, which has sold thousands of Internet-connected sex devices over the past three years. "This is not something that just the lunatic fringe does."

LOL!

This is too funny!

Tom Delay appointee involved in drug running?
Daniel Hopsicker has dug up a remarkable story -- one which I have been trying to take a small step or two further:
One of the two owners of the DC9 (tail number N900SA) busted at an airport in the Yucatan last week after lumbering in from Caracas, Venezuela carrying an astonishing 5.5 TONS of cocaine was appointed in 1993 to the Business Advisory Council of the National Republican Congressional Committee by then-Congressional Majority Leader Tom Delay, The MadCowMorningNews can exclusively report.

The plane's registered owner, “Royal Sons LLC,” a Florida air charter company, was at one time housed in a hanger at the Venice Fl. Airport owned by infamous flight school Huffman Aviation.

Interestingly enough, the DC9 was painted to resemble an official government aircraft.

The Delay appointee in question is Brent Kovar, owner of a firm called Skyway Communications Holding Corp. The firm ran into a few problems between 2002 and 2005 -- in fact, it lost $40 million and had to file for bankruptcy. (Note: On his site, Hopsicker mistakenly refers to Kovar as "Kovac." I am sure he will correct the typo soon.)

Despite this less-than-impressive performance, Delay decided to promote Kovak as a businessman par excellence:
"Congressman Tom Delay, Majority Leader, has appointed Brent C Kovar to serve as the Honorary Chairman, Business Advisory Council,” read the headline of an August 7, 2003 release from PrimeZone Media newswire and press release service.

The Business Advisory Council, explained the release, was part of the National Republican Congressional Committee, “dedicated to making sure that small business has a voice in Washington.”

Kovar was appointed “in recognition of his valuable contributions and dedication to the Republican Party,” and was "expected to play a crucial role in the party's efforts to involve top businesspeople in the process of government reform both at the state and federal levels."

Tuesday, April 18, 2006 Tom Delay appointee involved in drug running? Con'd (Quite a story!!)

Skyway, in a partnership with a firm called Royal Sons Motor Yacht Sales (otherwise known as just plain "Royal Sons"), purchased the DC9.

I suspect that we may see a variation of the "piano player in the whorehouse" defense: Kovar had no idea that so much cocaine had somehow found its way onto his airplane. Some observers may be reminded of John Delorean, another up-against-the-wall entrepreneur who turned to the cocaine trade when he could come up with no better way to keep his operation afloat.

Hopsicker believes that "Royal Sons" was itself a cover for the CIA. That may well be. But I would caution that the American intelligence community is large; there are many agencies and many semi-independent players.

This story appears to focus on the very same DC9 that hauled in the drugs. The name of the craft was -- prepare to chuckle -- Stars and Stripes. Skyway purchased the airplane pursuant to its stated goal of
...developing a unique ground to air in-flight aircraft communication network that it anticipates will facilitate homeland security and in-flight entertainment. SkyWay is focused on bringing to the market a network supporting aircraft-related service including anti-terrorism support, real time in-flight surveillance and monitoring, WIFI access to the Internet, telephone service and enhanced entertainment service for commercial and private aircraft throughout the United States.
Homeland security. Anti-terrorism. No doubt that explains the need for 5.5 tons of the white stuff.

The story gets more amusing. Despite its Chapter 11 status, Skyway assures investors on its home page that the company "is reviewing all possibilities related to operations and capital formation in order to get back on track to continue with its original business plan."

And in this very revealing article from the Tampa Bay Business Journal, we learn that Skyway planned to get out of its hole by relaying on certain "white knights." And who were these worthies...?

>> how to spell out the Latin words, C.F., for under duress?

huh?

I have an english/latin dictionary somewhere, but I have no idea what you want me to look up? C. FR?

If I did agree to help you, you would have to give me your word that you will go an ENTIRE WEEK under the same nic.

cus, frankly between you, conbo and MAT, I am getting sick of new nics acting like we should recognize them.

"A venture capital group is ready to do this," he said citing talks with some of the original Arab investors, and "the end result is it's going well," Kovar said.
Oh ho.

So let's get the chronology straight. Kovar's company hits bankruptcy court. He tells the judge that mysterious "Arabs" will soon bail him out. Next thing ya know, his DC9 is caught hauling in tons of nose candy.

Maybe that explains why (according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal) Skyway's own lawyers, handling what should have been a routine Chapter 11 case, decided to treat the company as though it were radioactive...

Incidentally, Hopsicker hasn't yet divulged any info about these "Arab investors." But he does connect the 5.5 ton coke shipment to the same milieu inhabited by Atta and company. In previous posts, we have discussed the likelihood that Al Qaeda-related personnel were involved in "protected" drug importation rackets.

You keep some interesting company, Mr. Delay. I'm curious: Just how did you and Mr. Kovar get to know each other in the first place...?

Postscript: This story pictures the National Republican Congressional Committee's Business Advisory Council as something of a scam, in which "honorary chairmanships" are handed out in exchange for donations. However, this press release from Kovar indicates that the matter goes rather deeper, at least in his case.

Is it possible to go a step further and come up with a sex robot such as that portrayed by actor Jude Law in the 2001 film "AI: Artificial Intelligence" or the orgasmatron machine of the 1973 Woody Allen movie "Sleeper?"

Carl DiSalvo, a doctoral candidate at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Design, has helped design a robotic device that simulates the warmth and feeling of a hug. He said such work could be expanded into the realm of sex.

"That hardly seems to be difficult," he said. But "a realistic encounter is where the thing gets to be much more expensive."

Companies such as realdoll.com sell very lifelike human-size sex dolls without electronics for $6,500, not including $500 shipping. DiSalvo is skeptical about the demand for such high-end devices, as is San Francisco sexologist Carol Queen.

"I do find that a world full of people getting it on with you know, perfect gizmos instead of each other has some sort of a post-Orwellian kind of sense to it," she said. "I don't really think that most people are going to want this."

Others suspect the technology is also far off. "Right now they are having trouble making robots that just sweep floors," said Pepper Schwartz, a sociology professor at the University of Washington in Seattle and author of many books on sex.

"You know, we're talking about a big jump from something saying 'You are so sexy, I want you' to mimicking all the things that would create a cyborg. We're not at the cyborg level yet."

Democrats Speak Out On Gas Price Gouging
by georgia10
Tue Apr 18, 2006 at 06:33:55 PM PDT
Senator Schumer is making headlines today, demanding a federal probe into price-gouging by the oil industry:

New York Senator Charles Schumer, speaking in front of a Hess station in Manhattan, called Tuesday for a federal investigation to see if oil companies and refiners are deliberately withholding gasoline production, taking advantage of the normal switch from winter gas to summer gas in an attempt to bid up prices.

"The bottom line is they are producing at 85 percent capacity when they should be producing over 90 percent," said Schumer. "Are they scaling back production? Only by subpoenaing the companies and looking in their books will we get that answer."

Senator Schumer was joined by House Minority Leader Pelosi, who issued a press release:

As Americans pay almost 90 percent more to fill their gas tanks since President Bush took office, oil companies continue to reap gigantic profits and oil executives receive astronomical compensation. Record prices, record retirement packages, and record profits are just the latest example of the wealthy few benefiting at the expense of hard-working Americans under the Bush Administration.

"The Republican Rubber Stamp Congress has passed two energy bills, costing taxpayers $12 billion for giveaways to big oil companies. But the Republican bills clearly have done nothing to lower gas prices, as the price of a barrel of oil has settled above $70 a barrel - the highest price in our history. Even the Chairman of the Federal Reserve agrees that gas prices are decreasing the purchasing power of American families and depressing the U.S. economy.

The new SUSA polling is out, and it's looking pretty darned unfriendly to Bush out there in the country. Here are a few states that stick out, and that might suggest a national strategy for Democrats.

Montana: approve 40%, disapprove 55%, net approval -15%

South Dakota: approve 41%, disapprove 56%, net approval -15%

Colorado: approve 36%, disapprove 62%, net approval -26%

New Mexico: approve 35%, disapprove 61%, net approval -26%

Nevada: approve 34%, disapprove 65%, net approval -31%

The south (along with Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming) have held the strongest for Bush. And he's losing ground in some key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida.

Oh, and Joe, take a look at this: Connecticut: 27% approve, 69% disapprove, for a net approval of -42%.

Rumsfeld Suggests bin Laden, Zarqawi Manipulating U.S. Press

By E&P Staff

Published: April 18, 2006 11:15 AM ET

NEW YORK When Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld appeared on Rush Limbaugh's talk radio show on Monday, his remarks defending himself from calls for his resignation drew wide attention. Generally overlooked were a couple of questions and answers on the subject of press coverage in Iraq.

For one thing, Rumsfeld said it was important to "recognize that the terrorists, Zarqawi and bin Laden and Zawahiri, those people have media committees. They are actively out there trying to manipulate the press in the United States. They are very good at it. They're much better at (laughing) managing those kinds of things than we are."

Asked why fewer reporters were embedding in Iraq, Rumsfeld said he'd talked to one journalist, and "there was a kind of impression left that 'Well, if you got embedded then you were really part of the problem instead of part of the solution and you were almost going over to the other side,' argument. I think that's an inexcusable thought, and I don't know if that's the case." He did not explain why he mentioned that, not knowing if it was true."

Here is the transcript, from the Limbaugh Web site, of that portion of the interview.

LIMBAUGH: Let me amend it. Let me ask you one final question. Somebody on my staff is curious to know what your opinion is of embedding reporters with the military. Has that worked? Has that worked as you had hoped?

SECRETARY RUMSFELD: Well, it has. It worked during the Iraq conflict, and a lot of people who are reporters and journalists were able to work with our troops and see precisely how terrific they are, the wonderful job they do, the kinds of people they are, how professional they are -- and the rest of their lives they're going to have an impression of the American military that will be good for journalism, in my view. Furthermore, they were able, because they were embedded, to see and then give the world and the people of the United States a slice of what was actually happening, real reality, and it was a good thing. More recently, very few people had been being embedded. We're

Family denies FBI peek at late columnist's papers
Bureau suspects Anderson's notes hold classified information
From Terry Frieden
CNN

Tuesday, April 18, 2006; Posted: 8:36 p.m. EDT (00:36 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The family of late columnist Jack Anderson has rejected the FBI's demand to grant government investigators access to the famed muckraker's papers and notes.

In a letter to the FBI Tuesday, attorneys for Anderson's family said the family had concluded it would be inconsistent with the life's work of the reporter to provide the materials to the bureau.

"After much discussion and due deliberation, the family has concluded that were Mr. Anderson alive today, he would not cooperate with the government on this matter," the letter said. "Instead, he would resist the government's efforts with all the energy he could muster.

"To honor both his memory and his wishes, the family feels duty bound to do no less," the letter said.

I've never seen anything like these demands from FBI in My life!!

I'll find the supporting reference if I can and post it.

In the meantime, the victims of abuse usually don't "become" abusers as a result. They do abuse themselves via self-medicating or other self-harming behavior including a serious lack of trust which makes them struggle with relationships and that can cause a lot of pain to those around them. That may be dysfunctional behavior, but it ISN'T predation.

Certainly what Randi is recognizing in the actions of UnPresident Bush fit that of the predator. (Especially since Bush was ALREADY behaving in sadistic predatory fashion BEFORE his sister's death, the event Randi (and Dr. Frank) choose to interpret as the KEY event that may have twisted Bush's psyche.)

I see an overwhelming hereditary badseed thing going on here. George Bush I and Barbara Bush, First Mom, are just a couple of progenitors who, each coming from clearly predatory stock, have created the perfect mix of predatory genes and predatory lifestyle and that has given us the Predatory Bush Boys.

I agree %100.

In fact, I'd go as far to say that people never really consciously become abusers...I am coming to believe that its a matter of what is "normal" behavior to the victim.

So, even if the person wants to change, they've already witnessed so much crap that their world view is effected.

so what they consider `normal' might still have a considerable edge on it.

Rumsfeld Shouldn't Be Fired. He Should Be Indicted.
By Matthew Rothschild
The Progressive

Monday 17 April 2006

It's not Donald Rumsfeld's colossal arrogance or his glaring misjudgments we should be focusing on. It's his potential crimes.

The mainstream media in the U.S. is giving enormous attention to the retired generals who are demanding Donald Rumsfeld's resignation because of his autocratic style and his bungling in Iraq.

But the mainstream media is barely discussing Rumsfeld's alleged culpability in the abusive treatment of detainees, up to and including torture.

"The question at this point is not whether Secretary Rumsfeld should resign, it's whether he should be indicted," says Joanne Mariner of Human Rights Watch, who directs its terrorism and counterterrorism program.

She was reacting to a report from Salon.com (1) that Rumsfeld was personally involved in monitoring the interrogation at Guantanamo of the so-called 20th hijacker, Muhammad al-Qahtani.

For six weeks at the end of 2002 and the start of 2003, U.S. interrogators worked al-Qahtani over.

Among other things, they forced him to "stand naked in front of a female interrogator," and they forced him to "wear women's underwear and to perform 'dog tricks' on a leash," according to salon.com.

And Human Rights Watch says they deprived him of sleep, forced him into painful physical positions, and made him suffer "sexual and other physical humiliation." They also forced him to take an enema, and at one point they forced him to take water intravenously and then refused to allow him to use a latrine "so that he urinated on himself at least twice."

On top of that, they brought in a snarling dog.

All of these acts "were specifically intended to cause severe physical pain and suffering and severe mental pain and suffering," says Mariner of Human Rights Watch (2). "That's the legal definition of torture."

Much of al-Qahtani's interrogation occurred while a December 2, 2002, Rumsfeld directive was in effect. (He rescinded it, under pressure from the Navy, six weeks later.) That memo authorized sixt

But the Deciderer's decided Rummys got to stay.

Friends Stop the Criminal Sociopaths From Going Nuclear:

Possibly ask those Americans on your mailing list to organize and take to the streets in mass-protests like the Mexicans did and remain such a constant presence (even surrounding neoconservative media outlet locations) that their messages cannot be avoided. We must not allow nuclear weapons to be used by the sociopathic messianic hypomaniac in the Whitehouse or no one will ever have to worry about political parties again. In addition, we should target specific companies for a “Zero Business” campaign, because a ‘focused’ and coordinated non-spending attack will send a shock wave through the corporate system. Those who intimidate are easily intimidated and we should first begin with the oil companies.

US Knew Shiite Militias Were a Threat but Took no Action Largely Because They Were Focused on Sunni Insurgency
By Tom Lasseter
Knight Ridder Newspapers

Monday 17 April 2006

Baghdad, Iraq - U.S. officials were warned for more than two years that Shiite Muslim militias were infiltrating Iraq's security forces and taking control of neighborhoods, but they failed to take action to counteract it, Iraqi and American officials said.

Now American officials call the militias the primary security concern in Iraq, blaming them for more civilian deaths than the Sunni Muslim-based insurgency and demanding that the Iraqi government move quickly to stem their influence.

U.S. officials concede that they didn't act, in part because they were focused on fighting the Sunni-dominated insurgency and on recruiting and training Iraqi security forces.

"Last year, as we worked through the problem set, that (militias) wasn't a problem set we focused on," Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, the top American military spokesman, said at a recent news briefing.

U.S. inaction gave the militias, with support from Iran, time to become a major force inside and outside the Iraqi government, and American officials acknowledge that dislodging them now would be difficult.

Among U.S. officials' missteps:

White House and Pentagon officials ignored a stream of warnings from American intelligence agencies about the mounting danger posed by two Shiite militias, the Badr Organization and the Mahdi Army. The Badr Organization is the armed wing of the Iranian-backed Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, the most powerful Shiite political faction in the country; the Mahdi Army is loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

A group of high-ranking Iraqis appointed in 2004 to persuade militia leaders to disband their groups received no funding and was allowed to wither away.

U.S. diplomats in Baghdad were slow to recognize that the majority Shiite population's ascent to political power would expand rather than diminish militia activity. Many believed that the groups' members would retire or would be integrated into the secu

at least she's still around.

but it has to be hard for you dealing with all this.

Has she always been like that or is this exceptional behavior?

Posted by: toniD at April 19, 2006 12:26 AM

It seems to be enhanced behavior.

She wants no drugs, or help of any kind.

She flipped out on me and is angry because I will not help her put an end to it the way she wants.

ya that tree was my favorite of them all there.

no rot at all in the center which is apparently rare.

gotta slab it as quick as i can.

they get hard fairly quick.

Hmmm, Cat-Sea that's the e-mail I sent it to twice now...did you check your junk mail?

Epiphany

2) A revelatory manifestation of a divine being.
A sudden manifestation of the essence or meaning of something.

3) A comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization: “I experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way I viewed myself” (Frank Maier).

1) A Christian feast celebrating the manifestation of the divine nature of Jesus to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi.

January 6, on which this feast is traditionally observed.

but it has to be hard for you dealing with all this.

It has been, but like I said something happened to me. I feel very calm.

My friend Andi that has the pancrees cancer called to tell me her doctor only gives her weeks to live.

She was so postive about beating it all this time. But this weekend she was told there is no hope.

I told her it was time to perpare her for the adventure of a lifetime. An unexpected adventure.

It's weird how much I'm surrounded by death all of a sudden. husbot came home tonight about a friend of his in Brooklyn just died yesterday!

ugh!

Epiphany?

YEAP! good thing I didn't try to spell it!

: ]

Epiphany

OR she could have had a V8....

sorry *blushes* too much TV as a child.

I did the best I could, sometimes it's just not good enough and sometimes even if it is, someone might not want what you have to offer.

Posted by: akaMAT at April 19, 2006 12:22 AM

How well I know. My stepdad...well it seems like I was doing everything I could to bail water out of the sinking boat and he was putting it back in with the other bucket. They hold on to their autonomy so long, and on the one hand you want them to, but on the other hand bad decisions get made.

love you MAT.

change what you can

and move along on your path.

it's about all a person can do eh?

LOVE YOU DAR!

I told her it was time to perpare her for the adventure of a lifetime. An unexpected adventure.

You have the right idea MAT...

Death doesn't scare me any more either...

It use to, I know the epiphany you describe. :)

You have to make yourself see each day for what it is A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE.

>>She wants no drugs, or help of any kind.

that is too bad. In a way she is being selfish.

Last year after my sister OD'd I did a little web search of crack cocaine. I was very surprised that a very legitimate source said that the only true legitimate use for it was for people exactly in your mother's condition. the reasoning was basically, it was easier for the survivors to have a memory of their loved one feeling no pain, euphoric and lucid.

We have a shit load of great people on this here BLOGGIE!

I was BLOWN away with how helpful and kind most everybody here was to me (is to me)

I was not sure how to tell you all how shit went down. I was worried that I would let all of you down as well as my Mother.

I don't feel good about how me and my mother have parted ways but I would have felt worse helping her do something I have tried all my life to keep her from doing.

Long sad pitfull story that I will spare all of you on.

I just wanted you all to know I consider you really wonderful people!

Hands down the best of the best! : ]

I gotta hear every word about your epiphany, MAT.

Nothing hotter than an epiphany.

the 12th day of Christmas! We celebrate by eating a special cake on that day. We also allow the Wise Men to actually make it to the creche, finally.

Epiphany's are wondrous. The knowledge you realize is always useful, one way or another.

Hope you'll come see me soon or Sunny said we were gonna come kidnap you...

I agree Dar, I think anyone who's had a serious brush with death is never the same afterwards. Sometimes during the day a voice in my head says to me "this is all special".

Posted by: Dar at April 19, 2006 12:37 AM

I see what you're saying...I'm pretty excited to be "dead" someday...there's a fine balance between wanting to be "here" and wanting to be "there..."

TOTALLY! I had a fight with my sick and broken mother and came home feeling free of a life time of confusion.

I worry about her still. But I have to respect the choices she has made weather I like them or not.

Posted by: A. (Grumbles for making a promise or I would be A Blog Slut right now) at April 19, 2006 12:38 AM

for the 3rd time, I release you!

just dstick with stuff we'll recognize for a few days ok?

you know, your sort list of 10 or 20?

;)

My dad told me once to feel sorrier for the people who are alive than the people they love who are dead, cuz the dead people are free...that was pretty "enlightened" I thought way later after he died, for such a grouchy man....

you bet Dar!

The hardest part of the death thing for me is the people who get taken and are not ready to go.

Like young people or people who help the rest of us.

Like Sunny J's friend, the professor. He was someone taken too soon. His work and knowledge are still needed here by the rest of us.

That part I don't get. The rest of it I have started to accept.

That made me cry.

ya MAT

well at least you got to see John at his best eh?

that walk throught the old growth grove John saved was a rare treat )

I had a hard time when my stepdad dies. He was old, and very very sick, had Parkinson's, couldn't walk anymore, dementia, etc. Still, when he dies, I wasn't ready at all. My step-brothers said it was best, now he was at peace, but I still wish he were alive. I still wish I was taking are of him. I guess I'm selfish, because I want him to still be here, even though he was sick. His death anniversary is in a couple of days. It's still very hard to take.

Chubby, Madeleine Albright will be speaking at the same conference as Cokie ROberts, and the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. Wangari Muta Maathai. a Kenyan woman. They should go far to "cleanse" to bad energy from here.

Oh. My friend. You MUST read "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchitt and Neal Gaiman. Neal Gaiman created the Vertigo comics "Black Orchid" and "Sandman" and the BBC tv mini-series, "Neverworld".

Good Omens is Monty Python funny. I read it about 15 years ago, and read it every couple of years for a special treat.

A bit more into: Good Omens

It's about the Apocalypse. It's hilarious.

Night night Toni, Sunny and MAT...

"Crowley had been extremely impressed with the warranties offered by the computer industry, and had in fact sent a bundle Below to the department that drew up the Immortal Soul agreements, with a yellow memo form attached just saying: "Learn, guys.""

ok, Now, lest you think I'm taking the Apocalypse too lightly, (well ok, it's true, I am) I don't think this book is disrespectful of religion, it's more like, what if the Apocalypse was to responsibility of yer average English blokes?

I say that one the way out.

The go out on the balcony, get the morning sun. but its not the kind of neighborhood they are used to. way more crowded and more nand faster traffic.

so they are pent up.

So how is everyone in the real world?

ex-Seminary? Weird, everyone I know who went to seminary left before they were "finished cooking". Is this your prof's case, too? Where did he go?

Did I tell you that I'm thinking of going to seminary too, but I'm going to take a few years off, first. I found a Seminary in Vermont that does "distance learning", which is the department I work in at the college. Their website also said they had degrees in Spirituality...so I thought it sounded good.

What the majority of bush supporting American's are missing is

the distinction between us and them.

Hannity and some economic story teller from FOX News were denying and glorifying the effects of the Bushes tax cuts

FACTS are is it fair or feasible to have tax cuts for the already rich?

THEN have tax cuts that favor the super rich?

AND finally have tax cuts in times of war?

BUT YEAH overwhelmingly have tax cuts then distort the facts of the economic effects of those cuts.

Hope media matters gets on these sets of lies about why the average American should believe FOX News economic experts analysis of

THE BUSH tax cuts being good the average job and the country.

The tax cuts also mean that government programs, like social security and medicare etc. will have to be cut average BUSH supportin Joe

NUCLEAR-ARMED IRAN "UNACCEPTABLE"

French President Jacques Chirac said in an interview with an Egyptian newspaper that the prospect of Iran obtaining a military nuclear capability was unacceptable.

Tuesday's meeting of deputy foreign ministers from Russia, China, the United States, Germany, France and Britain underlined the tough task Washington and its allies face in building a consensus on sanctions.

U.S. delegate Nicholas Burns, the No. 3 U.S. State Department official, cancelled a briefing for the media planned for after the talks on the grounds there was no progress to report.

Like the United States, Britain and France want the U.N Security Council to approve targeted sanctions against Iran unless its suspends its uranium enrichment programme.

But the other Security Council veto-holders, Russia and China say they are not convinced sanctions are helpful, even though they also have doubts about Tehran's intentions.

Or what..???

Iran get a nuclear bomb..!!

====================================================================

Iran must halt uranium enrichment activities: Russia

MOSCOW, APR 19 (AP)

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov today called on Iran to halt all uranium enrichment activities, saying the international community is demanding "urgent and constructive steps" from Tehran to ease concerns about its nuclear program, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.

"Iran must heed the call to stop work linked to uranium enrichment," the agency quoted Lavrov as saying a day after a meeting in Moscow of diplomats from the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany.

"All participants in the meeting agreed that urgent and constructive steps are demanded of Iran in response to the decision of the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency," which has called on Tehran to stop enrichment activty, Lavrov said.

Thank you Oppenheimer........American Hero.

We dont want no sanctions. Iran will burn. And what will become of the millions of liberal cry babies who dont enjoy the sight of their enemies blood? They will weep when they see the tactical nuclear fly. There will be some kind of heads up cockpit video with Natanz exploding far below amid squawks and electronic bleeps.

~~~ Iran get a nuclear bomb..!! ~~~

Decision on Iran must await IAEA report: Russia
Staff and agencies

19 April, 2006

By Meg Clothier 5 minutes ago

MOSCOW - Russia said on Wednesday it would not be rushed into agreeing action against Iran over its nuclear program after the United States failed to win wide backing for sanctions at international talks in Moscow.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said a meeting of major powers in Moscow late on Tuesday had ended without consensus on sanctions because some, including Russia, wanted to wait until the U.N. atomic watchdog files a report on Iran on April 28.

However, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said he doubted Iran would comply with U.N. demands by the deadline.

"No final documents were worked out as we are convinced of the need to wait for the IAEA report due at the end of the month," Lavrov told reporters.

Russia and China oppose sanctions and both have vetoes in the United Nations Security Council.

The Security Council has asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to report by April 28 on Iran‘s compliance with a council demand that it halt uranium enrichment by that date and answer outstanding questions on its nuclear program.

"We are working on the basis that Iran will not meet the proposals from the Security Council on the 30-day deadline," Straw told BBC Radio Four during a visit to Saudi Arabia.

"What is most likely to happen is that the matter will move back to the Security Council and there will then be discussions about the next steps."

This country is going to make an example of Iran.
Amisitaadinjad will we put in the same prison as Saddam. Well shave his beard and make him wear high heels and Rumsfeld personally will put the ladies underwar on his head.

I hope he likes waterbaording. And orange chicken!

Unlikely..

Damned Unlikely I would say...

=====================================================================

Iran unlikely to meet UN nuclear demands: Straw

London, Apr 19: Britain does not expect Iran to comply with United Nations Security Council demands to halt uranium enrichment by the end of April, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said on Wednesday.

Amid suspicions in the West that Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons, Iran last week defied U.N. demands and declared it had enriched uranium to a level used in power stations. Iran says it only wants nuclear technology to produce electricity, not bombs.

Democratic Senators all want to nuke Iran. They are bigger hawks than the Republicnas. Bush will get full support for operation Iranian Freedom.

Bush will probably overdo it with the bombing though, beacause ordering planes to blow things up is so much fun its addictive, and Bush has an addictive personality.

What do they always say in the end....????

All diplomatic options have been exhausted..!!!

That means the Fat Lady Sings, and the dance is over..

But for now..

The dance goes on...

====================================================================

Straw: 'World not split on Iran'

Mr Straw says Iran thought it could split the international community

Iran has failed in its attempts to split the international community over the response to its nuclear programme, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has said.
He told the BBC that at every level the international community was "more united in its concern to ensure full compliance by the Iranians".

He was talking to the Today programme during a visit to Saudi Arabia.

Mr Straw rejected claims that the US and Europe were at odds over the issue of military action against Iran.

He acknowledged the position differed on whether force could theoretically be used, but said "in practice both the Americans and Europeans, the Russians and Chinese are committed to finding a diplomatic solution to this issue".

===================================================================

Bush: 'All options on the table'

MOSCOW/TEHERAN: US President George W. Bush said yesterday that "all options are on the table" to prevent Iran from developing atomic weapons, but said he will continue to focus on the international diplomatic option to persuade Teheran to drop its nuclear ambitions.

The United States, which accuses Iran of seeking atom bombs, was expected to push for targeted sanctions against Teheran when it meets the UN Security Council's other permanent members Britain, France, China and Russia plus Germany in Moscow.

Deputy foreign ministers from the six nations are meeting ahead of an end-April deadline for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to report on whether Iran is complying with United Nations demands that it halt uranium enrichment.

"We want to solve this issue diplomatically and we're working hard to do so," Bush told reporters in the Rose Garden.

Bush also said there should be a unified effort involving countries "who recognize the danger of Iran having a nuclear weapon," and he noted that US officials are working closely with nations such as Great Britain, France and Germany on the issue."

"We will continue to work diplomatically," he said.

Washington says it does not want to embargo Iran's oil and gas industries to avoid creating hardship for the Iranian people. Iran is the world's fourth-biggest oil exporter.

China, which sent an envoy to Iran on Friday to try to defuse the standoff, repeated a call for a negotiated solution.

Well, not really, but it sure make sanctions sound good...!!!

=================================================================

Nuclear strikes on Iran still an option for US

EDMUND BLAIR

IN TEHRAN

PRESIDENT George Bush yesterday refused to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic republic's atomic ambitions.

Iran, which says its nuclear programme is purely peaceful, told world powers it would pursue atomic technology, whatever they decided at a meeting in Moscow last night.

How can we lose by getting rid of Iran?

There wont be any more annoying ayatollahs.

Iran vows to ignore world pressure

Tue Apr 18, 2006 10:32am ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran told world powers on Tuesday it would pursue its right to develop nuclear technology, whatever they decide at a meeting in Moscow later in the day.

The United States, which accuses Iran of seeking atom bombs, was expected to push for targeted sanctions against Tehran when it meets the U.N. Security Council's other permanent members -- Britain, France, China and Russia -- plus Germany in Moscow.

President Bush said he would discuss Iran's atomic ambitions with China's President Hu Jintao this week and refused to rule out nuclear strikes if diplomacy fails.

Asked if options included planning for a nuclear strike, Bush replied: "All options are on the table. We want to solve this issue diplomatically and we're working hard to do so."

Russia and China oppose sanctions and the use of force.

Deputy foreign ministers from the six nations are meeting ahead of an end-April deadline for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to report on whether Iran is complying with United Nations demands that it halt uranium enrichment.

"I recommend that they do not make hasty decisions, be prudent and study their path in the past. Any time they have pressured Iran they have got adverse results," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said.

Report - IAEA informed of Iran's P-2 centrifuge programmes

Apr 17, 2006, 20:03 GMT

printer email RSS Talkback




Tehran - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has already been fully informed of Iran's research programmes on P-2 centrifuges, the news agency ISNA reported Monday.

An unnamed nuclear official told ISNA that following the successful test of the P-1 centrifuges, Iran started research on the P-2 projects.

The New York Times had quoted United States security officials as saying Iran's use of P-2 centrifuges was worrisome as the process would not only accelerate the enrichment process but production of an atomic bomb.

The Iranian source termed the process as 'quite usual' and even already documented on the IAEA internet site.

Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani was quoted earlier Monday by ISNA as saying Iran would follow the research on P-2 centrifuges 'strictly within IAEA regulations.'

The source further confirmed that a new group IAEA inspectors will come to Tehran by the end of the week but denied the visit of a nuclear delegation to Vienna on Tuesday.

In the meantime Iran on Monday called on the countries meeting in Moscow to discuss the row over the country's nuclear programme to be 'rational.'

'We ask the participants in Moscow to adopt a rational approach and avoid repeating threats,' Larijani told Khabar news network.

Good Morning! :)

Homeless Man Returns Wallet With $900

SANTA ANA, Calif.

A homeless man searching through garbage bins for recyclable cans found a missing wallet and had it returned to its owner.

Kim Bogue, who works as a janitor in the city's government buildings, realized that her wallet was missing last week and doubted she'd ever get back the $900 and credit cards inside, she said.

"I prayed that night and asked God to help me," said Bogue, who was saving the money for a trip to her native Thailand.

Days later, a homeless man found the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag in a trash bin, where Bogue had accidentally thrown it away with her lunch. He gave it to Sherry Wesley, who works in a nearby building.

"He came to me with the wad of money and said, 'This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it,'" Wesley said.

Workers at a nearby relief kitchen said the man, who didn't want to be identified, insists on paying for his food.

"He has a very good heart," said Bogue, who gave the man a $100 reward. "If someone else found it, the money would be gone."

Iran must know they cant win. They know we are going to have our way with them. THey can stop enrichment , or well stop it for them and stop other things too.

Elctricity , Clean Water, Hospitals, Their Economy.

Its the Rumsfeld " stuff happens " invasion plan. Destroy a countries infrastructure and let the people destroy themselves.

By next summer the Iranians will living in rubble without electricity or running water. I wonder if they have any museums to loot.

Now we are still open to other options..

Bob says let the CIA kill them all..

Not a bad idea...

Better than letting Iran have The Bomb...

Nuclear attack protection

A nuclear attack on our nation would produce unparalleled devastation and suffering here. It is estimated a 12-1/2 kiloton nuclear weapon — which could fit in a small crate — used against New York City could kill 250,000 innocent people; another 700,000 would suffer from radiation sickness.

An attack would create widespread chaos as people fled the deadly cloud of radiation. The pulse from a strike would take down communication systems, cyber networks, and the other electronic control systems that make our lives function. Our already stretched health-care infrastructure would be overwhelmed immediately. After- ward, a broad swath of a once-vibrant urban area would be rendered uninhabitable for years.

Mr. Bush, We Know What You Did That Summer! (2001) - Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

There are two groups of people in this world: those who believe the official explanation of the events of September 11th, 2001, and those who have examined the evidence and realize that the official version of events is totally unbelievable.

An Open Letter to: Mr. George W. Bush, Mr. Richard Cheney, Members of PNAC and your supporting cast: Guess what? WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID THAT SUMMER - that long ago time of innocence before the events of September 11th, 2001. We know what you did, and the game is over - even though you don’t yet know it.. The work of the independent 9/11 researchers is paying off. The evidence is steamrolling through the information super highway and is now creeping into the clogged arteries of the mainstream media. We may not know every detail and we may not agree on your individual motives, but two facts are now irrefutable: the official story of what happened on September 11th is not true and you were involved. Somebody, somewhere does not like you guys anymore. Somebody, somewhere has given the corporate media the OK to open the one topic that has been totally verboten up till now. Somebody, somewhere has made it permissible for hints to be dropped into the public arena.. Those hints - which focus on the reasonable suspicion that has been raised about the attacks of 9/11 - have been well received. The cover-up is disintegrating slowly but surely. Books and documentaries are now trickling into the awareness of the general population. That trickle is turning into a steady flow that will increase every time a new set of eyes is opened to the evidence that has been amassed. Until now, the mainstream media have been the hull of the vessel that has kept the official conspiracy theory afloat. But now, for the first time, that vessel is sinking under the weight of its own lies. At this very moment, because of the distortions and secrets of the official version of 9/11, you all are beginning to drown in your own pool of lies. Understand that this is not a case of people having different opinions as to what happened tha

Jihad..

Ya gotta have plan if you want to topple the US..

=================================================================

A nuclear attack against the United States is a real and potential threat.

Respected researchers from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and the Monterey Institute, Center for Nonproliferation Studies, have recently written reports predicting and depicting the home-front threat of nuclear terrorism.

The news services provide fresh disclosures literally every day on this increased risk. North Korea and Iran are the latest but certainly not the only flash points of concern. Lack of security around nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union continues to be documented. Reports of suitcase-sized nuclear weapons sold on the black market are often cited, as well as al Qaeda claiming access to various capabilities.

The knowledge necessary to build a nuclear weapon can be found on-line and in libraries around the world. Readily available shielding technologies make smuggling a weapon into the United States a low-risk proposition.

This is a terribly serious situation in which some people accepted your version of 9/11 because you frightened them into doing so. They believed everything you said without asking for any corroborating evidence because you asked them to take your word as the Gospel truth. But other people looked at what you told them and began to ask common sense questions about the holes you left in the official story. They could not understand why you refused to allow a bipartisan, impartial investigation into the events of that day. They realized that the Kean Commission, formed a year after the attacks, was NOT charged with finding out what really happened. They realized that this commission was there to document your official story, regardless of how it conflicted with the evidence that had been unearthed. This second group refused to sit back and ignore what was being revealed by scholars and other experts among them, and they continued investigating this most fateful day for themselves. Keep in mind the large majority of Americans were completely unaware there were any questions at all being raised about your official story. You guys did a yeoman’s job of getting the corporate media to do your dirty work. You got them to repeatedly report the bogus elements of the story you wanted us to accept. They did that for the better part of four and a half years, but now their shell game is over because they are no longer relevant. The independent 9/11 Truth community has bypassed your conduits to the public. Finally, researchers, authors, scientists, film makers and real journalists have assumed the role of protecting our nation from enemies domestic and it is only a matter of time before your little story is all but a bloodstain on the history files of the ruling elite.

I didn't get the wheat bread they promised from Israel.

Not a reason in the world to attack Iran.

The same with Hussein

Why are other countries not affraid of Iran

Because they benefit from having a strong Iran

Why can't the US do business with a Nuklear Iran

Because their affraid,

What do they fear,

Guilt,

Guilty of what,

Gangster like business tactics?

Iran fears Israel

Israel fears jihad

U.S. fears economic competition or independence

So there will be a confrontation but

Not about Iranian bad guys

Sounds very diplomatic

What if Dubia ports contractors had a Nuk

Israel took out Sadaam's nuk's in the 80s why

Don't they just take out Iran's?

Israel is not very popular people

And we wait for their retaliation on Hummas

======================================================================

So how does a nuclear device destroy things?

The primary effects that result from the initiation of a device are (in no particular order) a light flash, a heat flash a blast concussion wave and a sleet of direct radiation.

In fact, of these the last is of relatively little significance. The range of the radiation is very short and is further attenuated by the inverse square law.

Its only significant within the areas where blast and heat are already lethal. If thermal blast and concussion have already reduced you to the size, shape and color of a McDonalds hamburger, irradiating you as well is incredibly superfluous.

Thus the direct effects we are interested in are light, heat and blast and they do arrive in that order. The further an observer is from the point of initiation, the greater the gap between them. This is very important. The flash of light that will blind a victim close in serves to warn a potential victim further out.

Once a few miles out from ground zero, the light flash tells the population that a device has gone off and its shadows show them sheltered areas from the next effects to arrive. If an area is shadowed from light, its shadowed from radiant heat as well. The heat flash is the first really destructive effect to hit. This is direct radiated thermal energy; like light it travels in straight lines.

It will set anything inflammable on fire to a considerable distance from ground zero. Interestingly, it won't set non-flammable things on fire and, for example, must enter a house via windows etc before setting that house on fire. If the windows are masked (for example painted white), the heat flash is unlikely to set a brick-built house on fire (US-style frame houses are a different matter which is why it makes me uneasy living in one).

Thats funny. I wonder who are those people who buy SUVs with gas over 3 / $GAL

There are alot better things to spend your money on.

Riots broke out in the Solomon Islands after Snyder Rini was declared prime minister.

However, there are claims that votes were bought by Mr Rini's financial backers. "Not only promises but gifts of money. So how can you fight that?" said Francis Billy Hilly, a spokesperson for the opposition.

It has been reported that an angry crowd threw stones at the Parliament building, resulting in tear gas being fired by the police. Cars and buildings were set alight in Honiara and several Australian and New Zealand police officers were injured.

Your best bet is to be out in the country..

But, ya gotta figure most can't do that...

=================================================================

Last to arrive is blast.

Unlike light and heat, both of which travel in straight lines, blast can be funneled by structures, deflected and masked. The windows we carefully painted white are history; smashed by the blast wave and its associated wave front of debris but they've done their job.

The heat flash has gone. Houses are actually quite well designed to resist pressure from outside - its pressure from inside that gives them problems. Again, if you can keep the blast out you've got a good chance.

Impossible close in to ground zero but progressively easier as we get further from that point. Closing the shutters on windows inside the house is good; even taping the glass in a lattice pattern is astonishingly helpful.

Compared with military targets, civilian structures have relatively low damage resistance. In the jargon we've been looking at, this is called protection factor (PF) - most civilians can, with a few minutes warning give themselves a PF of around 40 - meaning they are 40 times more likely to survive than an unprotected civilian.

In other words, even though the structures surrounding them are soft and weak, there is a lot they can do that will greatly increase their chance of survival. Note that - even when the sirens are going off, there is still a lot you can do that greatly increases your chances of surviving - provided you have a chance of surviving in the first place.

Iran would have to go for Washinton DC, NYC, Chicago...

At least those if not more..

======================================================================

Lets imagine somebody has taken a serious dislike to your home town and decided to remove it.

For all intents and purposes, the effects of initiation are generated in the center of the device initiation and travel outwards evenly in all dimensions to produce a perfectly symmetrical sphere or fireball.

Now think of the geometry of this. If the device is initiated at ground level, a so-called ground burst, half of all that energy will go into the ground, scouring out a crater but effectively being wasted. More goes skywards. Some will be reflected down towards the earth but very little; effectively that energy too is wasted.

The only energy that is actually useful is that produced in a narrow segment around the equator of the spherical ball produced by the initiation. Thus, for this type of attack ground bursts seem very inefficient. They are.

Too bad he has to think with the brain between his legs. Course that may be the only brain he has.

U.S. has to do Israeli dirty work

Iran is too unstable to have a Nuk

Iran threatens Israel

Hog-wash

Do these meet the criteria for going to war?

These people campaign for war.

Where does the War Doctrine say...

"pick a fight and the strike"

Powell Doctrine "Overwhelming Force" Preemptive Force by the "Decision-Maker"

* Is a vital national security interest threatened?

* Do we have a clear attainable objective?

* Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?

* Have all other non-violent policy means been fully exhausted?

* Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?

* Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?

* Is the action supported by the American people?

* Do we have genuine broad international support?

You are a sick man, War Dog. HOW can you be so excited about the nuclear bomb? What is wrong with you?

If the military spent as much time on Dubia Ports World as they do defending Israel

The U.S. might be safer place

Jihad is live and let live Dumb"A"

You need to understand better yourself

In fact, u need a lesson in stirring up bees

They already have a plan, Jihad or not

They are probably two steps ahead of your greedy arshes judging from Iraq outcome

And its not surprising if they have are supported by those seeking revenge

Dubia Ports World owns our trade ports still, they haven't sold it to Halliburton you know.

China owns the rest.

If U.S. wants to make a statement everyone is waiting to hear it because

I do know, War Dog. But think about it...if we bomb Iran with a nuke, it will cause problems also. And don't you think the wind will carry that back flow from the bunker buster all over that area and into Russia and China and maybe Europe and North Africa?

Also, those bombs could cause major earth quakes in that area.

You are not looking at the big picture, War Dog. You are so excited to see the US bomb Iran, you can't see what , your favorite word, the outcomes would be!

Yes it's a very difficult situation we are in. But you have to thank the politicians for that. On both sides!!

First of all, we sould have been looking for alternate fuel in the 70's, the first time we had an oil shortage. But greed took over and the oil companies joined with the car companies and kept making oil dependent cars.

We made that area, the Arabian Gulf, rich from their oil. along with other areas.

We would still use oil for other things, but it would not be the leading force of the world in the way it is now.

Think about what you are saying. I don't want the nukes in the US but if you start in that area and other nations suffer from it, nations that do have nuclear bombs, we might well be bombed through retaliation.

Wake UP, Air Americaaaaaa!

Iraq PM: Quitting 'Out of the Question' 1 hour, 36 minutes ago

Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari insisted Wednesday he will be the Shiite nominee for a new term, saying it is "out of the question" that he will step down. Al-Jaafari's comments, made in a nationally televised press conference, mean the deadlock over the premiership likely will continue.

Sunni and Kurdish objections to al-Jaafari have stalled efforts to form a unity government four months after national elections.

"As a matter of principle, I think the idea of making a concession is, for me at least, out of the question," al-Jaafari said.

The prime minister said he still enjoys the support of the Shiite alliance, the dominant bloc in parliament, despite a few public calls from within for him to step aside.

Al-Jaafari has said repeatedly he was nominated democratically and parliament will decide whether to approve him.

CIA mines 'rich' content from blogs
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 19, 2006

President Bush and U.S. policy-makers are receiving more intelligence from open sources such as Internet blogs and foreign newspapers than they previously did, senior intelligence officials said.

The new Open Source Center (OSC) at CIA headquarters recently stepped up data collection and analysis based on bloggers worldwide and is developing new methods to gauge the reliability of the content, said OSC Director Douglas J. Naquin.

"A lot of blogs now have become very big on the Internet, and we're getting a lot of rich information on blogs that are telling us a lot about social perspectives and everything from what the general feeling is to ... people putting information on there that doesn't exist anywhere else," Mr. Naquin told The Washington Times.

Eliot A. Jardines, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for open source, said the amount of unclassified intelligence reaching Mr. Bush and senior policy-makers has increased as a result of the center's creation in November.

"We're certainly scoring a number of wins with our ultimate customer," said Mr. Jardines, who became the first high-level official in charge of the government's nonsecret intelligence in December.

"I can't get into detail of what, but I'll just say the amount of open source reporting that goes into the president's daily brief has gone up rather significantly," Mr. Jardines said. "There has been a real interest at the highest levels of our government, and we've been able to consistently deliver products that are on par with the rest of the intelligence community."

Bush Hears Voices,
But Does He Listen?

...By reminding everybody that he is “the decider,” George W. Bush no doubt hoped to stifle embarrassing protests from a growing corps of retired officers such as General Anthony Zinni, who believe that the war in Iraq has been ruinously botched and that the Secretary of Defense should retire. But his defensive outburst only drew attention to the most deserving target of criticism: himself.

At Heart of Iraqi Impasse, a Family Feud
Militia-Backed Shiite Factions Vie for Political Dominance

By Jonathan Finer
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, April 19, 2006; A01

NAJAF, Iraq -- On one side of the grinding political deadlock over who should lead Iraq's next government is a plain-spoken cleric with the puffed cheeks and patchy beard of youth, a fiery icon of the downtrodden with an exalted family name: al-Sadr.

On the other is a wizened mullah from the clerical old guard, whose al-Hakim clan founded Iraq's largest political party and whose scholarly air belies a reputation for ruthlessness.

Moqtada al-Sadr and Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim head the two leading dynasties of Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority, whose spiritual home is this ancient southern city. They operate the country's two largest Shiite militias -- the Mahdi Army and the Badr Brigade, respectively -- each with more than 10,000 men under arms. And they are heirs to rival movements that for generations have competed, sometimes violently, for supremacy in the hearts and minds of their long-persecuted people.

The two men are now on opposing sides of the dispute over whether Ibrahim al-Jafari should retain his post as prime minister. The impasse remains unresolved despite months of negotiation and intense U.S. pressure, and hinges not only on myriad political factors but on the two clerics' family feud.

"Iraqi clerical Shiism tends to run in families and has for a long time," said Juan Cole, a University of Michigan professor and expert on Shiite Islam. "Throughout the 20th century the Sadr and Hakim families have been maybe the most prominent examples and have vied for influence. Here they are again."

Their divergent politics mean the dispute over the prime minister's post has wide-ranging and complex implications for the future of Iraq, and for the U.S. presence here.
