If you study the FACTS about the 9/11 terror attacks it's clear
that Bush's family was involved, that the so-called muslims who
"piloted"
the planes were drug-addled gambling libertines, and that the only
way to get those planes to their targets with the kind of accuracy
we saw was using autopilot technology. Oh, and the 3 WTC buildings
collapsed because of an explosive called thermate, not fires or planes;
thermate left a precise chemical signature at all 3 sites.

So today's "big scare" is more than likely manufactured,
not unlike the Miami-group scare.

Why? It's an age-old ploy to get you to approve of a police state.

Part of this strategy included the maintenance of a state of continual
warfare, which Goldstein discussed in the third chapter. The three major
powers were not fighting this perpetual war for victory, they were fighting
to keep a state of emergency always present as the surest guarantee of
authoritarianism.

Orwell, 1984


To quote Hermann Goering at the Nuremberg trials:

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in
England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all,
it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or
no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked,
and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country
to danger. It works the same in any country.

Which all of those planes had.

No, it didn't. The buildings left some chemicals, which could
have come from multiple sources.

The fact is, a 9-year-old child could have flown the planes into the
buildings; thermate doesn't exist; there was no "chemical trail"; the
planes caused major structural damage, finished off by the raging fires
where the planes hit.

It is ignoramusus like "Regensburg," who have no knowledge of aviation,
structures or anything else useful, who fuel the idiotic conspiracy
notions, such as "chemtrails", lunar landing hoaxes, "9/11
conspiracies", etc., ad nauseum, who are the real threat to freedom.

Apparently the use of Thermate has left evidence the size of a penny,
that must be handled with plastic gloves, although there is no issue
with setting it directly on a conference table while handling it, and
it is apparently safe to simply carry it in your pocket.

"Bush said during a visit to Green Bay, Wis., that the foiled plot was
a "stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists.""

Funny how Bush failed to remind us that
he himself is a fascist or that his behavior
is very similar to that of a dictator. And
then there was grandpa Prescott Bush,
who helped the Nazis come to power.

Pot kettle black, Mr Bush.

No actually, the evidence consisted of huge pools of
molten iron under each building. For those of you
who are unfamiliar with science concept, jet fuel
and office furniture do not burn hot enough to melt steel,
which doesn't matter anyway because the molten iron
lacked elements found in the structural steel used
in the buildings. It did have elements markers indicating
it was from thermite.

I have personally melted steel enough to work it, in a forge made from a
coffee can and fueled with propane. I have made steel red hot with only
a hammer, and have welded this way. Any blacksmith, any ironworker,
will tell you there is a problem with your basic assumption.

Horsepucky. With a good draft, wood burns hot enough to melt steel.
With a good draft, kerosene burns hot enough to melt steel. With a good
draft, paper burns hot enough to melt steel.

It's hard to give much credit to conspiracy theories that reject such
basic facts. Perhaps the people who cooked them up simply have no real-
world experience with melting metal?

People managed to melt metals with wood or coal fires for centuries
before modern technology came along. Perhaps the conspiracy geeks
aren't aware of that.

I haven't seen anyone provide any proof that a) there were pools of
ANYTHING underneath the WTC. b) that said pools were iron or c) that
said pools (if they existed) were molten for any length of time. The
only evidence someone posted here once was a video of a fireman
complaining that it was "red hot" in the rubble of the Towers. I
mentioned that most fire sites remain hot for weeks after the event and
that the fireman in the video makes no mention of pools, molten or
otherwise.

And how many politicians (of any country) are going to be honest? It's
not like you can get the humps to vote for you if you told the truth
and said "Vote for me so I can screw you."

The US government is at war alright. It's at war with American
citizens.

Perhaps you missed the words "with a good draft."

In fact, with a good draft, iron will melt, which is why furnaces must
be lined with refractories instead. Iron has been fused for millennia
using only fuels such as wood.

You need a forced draught to melt iron, a natural draught
is not enough. In times gone by this was achieved with
a set of bellows, these days its down with a mechanicaly
operated blower. There's a reason we refer to the iron
smelters as Blast Furnaces

You dont use wood either, it includes too many impurities,
traditionally charcoal was used until displaced by coke.

You've all missed the point

You dont have to melt steel to bring down a building. Steel loses
its strength LONG before it melts. At 600 C most steels have only
half the strength they possess at room temperature. At 800 C
they have no load bearing capability at all.

With that height, you'd get more of a draught (wish you Yaks could spell)
than anything forced!

Wood stoves are designed to keep the draft to a minimum, so your wood
lasts long enough to cook, or get to sleep.

Clearly, you have never seen a smith work on a homemade forge.

It's simply perfect that you trotted out Jones again.

We've heard what Jones thinks. You need something else. Something
compelling, and preferably, independent from Jones and the ST911 bunch.

It is a mistake to assume that everyone who disagrees with you, has not
given an ear to Jones. Not everyone who looks into Jones winds up a
Jonesist, and the Jonesists would do well to come up with some
persuasive argument to make their case to these people.

What usually happens is the person who is not persuaded gets insulted,
or else simply gets a reference back to Jones and ST911.

Yeah, but it used to be petty stuff, like the guy who got
$1 million from Comcast wrote a law that lets Comcast
get a $1 billion tax credit (link www.ctj.org/corpfed04an.pdf ).

The whole tenor of it has changed. Now it's about
setting up a police state.

Do you realize the US military has set up 800 concentration
camps that can hold about 18 million people?

No wonder American cops are arresting people en masse at
demonstrations. They want to know who they're gonna
put in the gas chambers.

Such conditions did not exist in the WTC 1 & 2buildings,
which burned for a mere 30 minutes and 1 hour respectively,
and certainly not in WTC 7 which no plane ever hit.

You make it sound as if the fire was somebody burning trash in a
wastebasket or something. Also, you seem to be trying to make the
case for some other cause besides crash damage and fires from jet fuel
and other fuels, but you show no real evidence for other causes, and
choose to attack the idea of the commonly accepted cause.

> and certainly not in WTC 7 which no plane ever hit.

No plane hit the building, but it certainly had more debris fall on it
than any other building in history.

How many buildings were destroyed on 9/11? Just 3? Or more than 3?

What was the nature and extent of damage to other buildings that were
also not hit by airplanes? Was the damage severe, or was it superficial?

I suppose that's why those buildings were not used to refine iron ore.

Irony: The word "horsepucky" used above. People used dried dung to
fire forges to melt metals as well and many still do.

Personally I find it comforting to know that a couple of wack jobs on the

OK, once again they're commenting that it's hot. (Supposedly "red
hot.") Nobody's saying anything in that clip about "molten pools."
Furthermore, I'd mentioned that I've seen several fires. They always
have to look for "hot spots" in the rubble for days (or even weeks)
afterwards. With the shear bulk of the Towers, you'd have to expect
even greater hot pockets. That's certainly NOT an indication of
explosives or thermite (thermAte?)

The Conspirational worldview is flawed because it assumes agency is
limited to a small number of bad apples at the highest levels of
government. It is an inherently reactionary and conservative worldview,
because it assumes that our institutions would be forces for good if
they just weren't being subverted to the will of a small cabal. Hunt
the cabal, put in 'good leaders' and all will be well and dandy? I
don't think so. It is not the Man that is causing harm, it's the
Position.

In reality, the problem is a structural one. There is no small cabal,
there is only a number of social classes who pursue their own selfish
interest. The problem is not the Rothschild and the Bildenbergers. It's
Statist Capitalism as a whole, as a system of organization. The only
solution is social revolution.

Never ascribe to malice what could equally be ascribed to incompetence.

And who would replace the incompetent people with after the revolution?
Usually they get replaced by even more incompetent people,

Welcome to what "the preponderance of evidence" means, John. When you
have a regime that has an extensive and well documented history of lying
to the public and of committing crimes against humanity and treason, it
is reasonable to proclaim any further claims the regime makes as "just
more of the same."

Remember this fascist regime's claims about the fake "terrorists" in
Florida?

Right. Debunked. Again.

Yes, it's a contingency plan that was put in place by Ronald Raygun.

The US not only has the highest prison population on the planet., it
also imprisons a larger percentage of their citizens than any other
country on earth (maybe North Korea has the US beat on this).

For which countries do you have accurate data concerning prison
population? How can you be certain this information is reported
honestly or accurately to you? How can you even be certain that the
countries in question even know themselves how many people are in prison?

Countries that apply the death penalty more liberally than the US, might
tend to have a lower prison population. Think about that for a moment.

Try again. Many countries don't even have the death penalty, whereas
the US does. Come and produce something that proves whatever point you
were trying to make. So far it only looks like you're blowing smoke
out of your ass and wasting people's time.

Why do folks always assume they are the only ones who have

I have. His work is full of bad materials engineering. He is way out
of his field and when one does that, they are often likely to make

And replace it with another political power... Which, depending on your
school of anarchism, is very possibly worse than the one removed. It's pure
silliness. The first anarchist nation will be gone in a day because it

So, everyone behaves the same and no one has the urge to take some
power? Oh, I see, everybody is SO full of the nice world that they do not
even have this urge, right?

Oh, and, euh, who will take the lead in rooting out the political power?

The WTC are the first skyscrappers to come down from a fire. 1 burned
for an hour the other only 30 minutes. While if you look there are
other buildings that have burned for hours and never fell.

There was molten steel at the site, there are many pictures that show
this.

If building 7 took on so much debri that caused it to fall why did it
take 5 hours later.

Why did the south tower burning only 30 minutes and which was hit in a
less severe spot (because most of the jet fuel blew up outside the
building) fall first?

You did not answer the questions. How many buildings were destroyed on
9/11? Just 3, or more than 3? (Hint: The answer is closer to 20).

>There was molten steel at the site, there are many pictures that show\
>this.

Molten steel is notoriously difficult to photograph. Where are these
"many pictures" and what is the basis for claiming that they depict
"molten steel?"

I agree that it's a complicated system to try to model. I don't see how
that justifies jumping straight to the "explosives" theory. I don't see
evidence to support the explosives theory, only speculation and poorly
considered attacks on anyone who chooses not to accept that theory for
lack of evidence.

Reminds me of Linda Thompson back in the early 1990s on Fidonet. She
would rant and rave, call people idiots, clueless, etc., Even if her
facts were correct on certain issues, she could never grasp the
concept that you win more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

I find it interesting that anyone would worry about how many flies they can
catch using either honey or vinegar...

You're talking about scoring debate points on usenet...big F'ng deal.

If usenet could actually do something, the powers that be would eliminate
it. Treat it like it is, a bunch of folks who share some sort of common
interests where every once in a great while you might pick up some glimmer
of a good idea.

www.freedomunderground.org/view.php?v=3&t=3&aid=22625

Number One:

May 18th, 2002. The first details of the President’s Daily Briefing of
August 6th, 2001, are revealed, including its title - “Bin Laden
Determined To Strike In U.S.” The same day another memo is discovered -
revealing the FBI knew of men with links to Al Qaeda training at an
Arizona flight school. The memo was never acted upon. Questions about
9/11 Intelligence failures are swirling.

May 20th, 2002. Two days later, FBI Director Mueller declares another
terrorist attack “inevitable.” The next day, the Department of Homeland
Security issues warnings of attacks against railroads nationwide, and
against New York City landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue
of Liberty.

Number Two:

June 6th, 2002. Colleen Rowley, the FBI agent who tried to alert her
superiors to the specialized flight training taken by Zacarias
Moussaoui, whose information suggests the government missed a chance to
break up the 9/11 plot, testifies before Congress. Senate Intelligence
Committee Chair Graham says Rowley’s testimony has inspired similar
pre-9/11 whistle-blowers.

June 10th, 2002. Four days later, speaking from Russia, Attorney General
John Ashcroft reveals that an American named Jose Padilla is under
arrest, accused of plotting a radiation bomb attack in this country.
Padilla had, by this time, already been detained for more than a month.

Number Three:

February 5th, 2003. Secretary of State Powell tells the United Nations
Security Council of Iraq’s concealment of weapons, including 18 mobile
biological weapons laboratories, justifying a U.N. or U.S. first strike.
Many in the UN are doubtful. Months later, much of the information
proves untrue.

February 7th, 2003. Two days later, as anti-war demonstrations continue
to take place around the globe, Homeland Security Secretary Ridge cites
“credible threats” by Al Qaeda, and raises the terror alert level to
orange. Three days after that, Fire Administrator David Paulison - who
would become the acting head of FEMA after the Hurricane Katrina
disaster - advises Americans to stock up on plastic sheeting and duct
tape to protect themselves against radiological or biological attack.

Number Four:

July 23rd, 2003: The White House admits the CIA -- months before the
President's State of the Union Address -- expressed "strong doubts"
about the claim that Iraq had attempted to buy uranium from Niger. On
the 24th, the Congressional report on the 9/11 attacks is issued; it
criticizes government at all levels; it reveals an FBI informant had
been living with two of the future hijackers; and it concludes that Iraq
had no link to Al-Qaeda. 28 pages of the report are redacted. On the
26th, American troops are accused of beating Iraqi prisoners.

July 29th, 2003. Three days later, amid all of those negative headlines,
Homeland Security issues warnings of further terrorist attempts to use
airplanes for suicide attacks.

Number Five:

December 17th, 2003. 9/11 Commission Co-Chair Thomas Kean says the
attacks were preventable. The next day, a Federal Appeals Court says the
government cannot detain suspected radiation-bomber Jose Padilla
indefinitely without charges, and the chief U.S. Weapons inspector in
Iraq, Dr. David Kay, who has previously announced he has found no
Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, announces he will resign his post.

December 21st, 2003. Three days later, just before Christmas, Homeland
Security again raises the threat level to Orange, claiming “credible
intelligence” of further plots to crash airliners into U.S. cities.
Subsequently, six international flights into this country are cancelled
after some passenger names purportedly produce matches on government
no-fly lists. The French later identify those matched names: one belongs
to an insurance salesman from Wales, another to an elderly Chinese
woman, a third to a five-year old boy.

Number Six:

March 30th, 2004. The new chief weapons inspector in Iraq, Charles
Duelfer tells Congress we have still not found any WMD there. And, after
weeks of refusing to appear before the 9/11 Commission, Condoleezza Rice
finally relents and agrees to testify. On the 31st: Four Blackwater-USA
contractors working in Iraq are murdered, their mutilated bodies dragged
through the streets and left on public display in Fallujah. The role of
civilian contractors in Iraq is widely questioned.

April 2nd, 2004. Homeland Security issues a bulletin warning that
terrorists may try to blow up buses and trains, using fertilizer and
fuel bombs - like the one detonated in Oklahoma City - stuffed into
satchels or duffel bags.

Number Seven:

May 16th, 2004. Secretary of State Powell appears on “Meet The Press.”
Moderator Tim Russert closes by asking him about the “enormous personal
credibility” Powell had placed before the U.N. in laying out a case
against Saddam Hussein. An aide to Powell interrupts the question,
saying the interview is over. Powell finishes his answer, admitting that
much of the information he had been given about Weapons of Mass
Destruction was “inaccurate and wrong, and, in some cases, deliberately
misleading.”

May 21st, 2004, new photos showing mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners at
Abu Ghraib Prison are released. On the 24th - Associated Press video
from Iraq confirms U.S. forces mistakenly bombed a wedding party -
killing more than 40.

Wednesday the 26th. Two days later, Attorney General Ashcroft and FBI
Director Mueller warn that intelligence from multiple sources, in
Ashcroft’s words, “indicates Al-Qaeda’s specific intention to hit the
United States hard,” and that “90 percent of the arrangements for an
attack on the United States were complete.” The color-coded warning
system is not raised, and Homeland Security Secretary Ridge does not
attend the announcement.

Number Eight:

July 6th, 2004. Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry selects
Senator John Edwards as his vice presidential running mate, producing a
small bump in the election opinion polls, and a huge swing in media
attention towards the Democratic campaign.

July 8th, 2004. Two days later, Homeland Secretary Ridge warns of
information about Al-Qaeda attacks during the summer or autumn. Four
days after that, the head of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission,
DeForest B. Soaries, Junior, confirms he has written to Ridge about the
prospect of postponing the upcoming Presidential election in the event
it is interrupted by terrorist acts.

Number Nine:

July 29th, 2004. At their party convention in Boston, the Democrats
formally nominate John Kerry as their candidate for President. As in the
wake of any convention, the Democrats dominate the media attention over
the ensuing weekend.

Monday, August 1st, 2004. The Department of Homeland Security raises the
alert status for financial centers in New York, New Jersey, and
Washington to orange. The evidence supporting the warning -
reconnaissance data, left in a home in Iraq - later proves to be roughly
four years old and largely out-of-date.

Number Ten:

Last Thursday. At 10 AM Eastern Time, the President addresses the
National Endowment for Democracy, once again emphasizing the importance
of the war on terror and insisting his government has broken up at least
10 terrorist plots since 9/11.

At 3 PM Eastern Time, five hours after the President’s speech has begun,
the Associated Press reports that Karl Rove will testify again to the
CIA Leak Grand Jury, and that Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald has told
Rove he cannot guarantee that he will not be indicted.

At 5:17 PM Eastern Time, seven hours after the President’s speech has
begun, New York officials disclose a bomb threat to the city’s subway
system - based on information supplied by the Federal Government. A
Homeland Security spokesman says the intelligence upon which the
disclosure is based is “of doubtful credibility.” And it later proves
that New York City had known of the threat for at least three days, and
had increased police presence in the subways long before making the
announcement at that particular time. Local New York television station,
WNBC, reports it had the story of the threat days in advance, but was
asked by "high ranking federal officials" in New York and Washington to
hold off its story.

Less than four days after revealing the threat, Mayor Michael Bloomberg
says "Since the period of the threat now seems to be passing, I think
over the immediate future, we'll slowly be winding down the enhanced
security."

While news organizations ranging from the New York Post to NBC News
quote sources who say there was reason to believe that informant who
triggered the warning simply ‘made it up’, a Senior U.S.
Counter-terrorism official tells the New York Times: "There was no
there, there."

The list of three additional examples follows.

Number Eleven:

October 22nd, 2004. After weeks of Administration insistence that there
are terrorist plans to disrupt the elections, FBI, Law Enforcement, and
other U.S. Intelligence agencies report they have found no direct
evidence of any plot. More over, they say, a key CIA source who had
claimed knowledge of the plot, has been discredited.

October 29, 2004. Seven days later - four days before the Presidential
election - the first supposedly new, datable tape of Osama Bin Laden
since December 2001 is aired on the Al-Jazeera Network. A Bush-Cheney
campaign official anonymously tells the New York Daily News that from
his campaign’s point of view, the tape is quote “a little gift.”

Number Twelve:

May 5th, 2005. 88 members of the United States House of Representatives
send a letter to President Bush demanding an investigation of the
so-called “Downing Street Memo” - a British document which describes
purported American desire dating to 2002 to "fix" the evidence to fit
the charges against Iraq. In Iraq over the following weekend, car
bombings escalate. On the 11th, more than 75 Iraqis are killed in one.

May 11th, 2005. Later that day, an instructor and student pilot violate
restricted airspace in Washington D.C. It is an event that happens
hundreds of times a year, but this time the plane gets to within three
miles of the White House. The Capitol is evacuated; Vice President
Cheney, the First Lady, and Nancy Reagan are all rushed to secure
locations. The President, biking through woods, is not immediately notified.

Number Thirteen:

June 26th, 2005. A Gallup poll suggests that 61 percent of the American
public believes the President does not have a plan in Iraq. On the 28th,
Mr. Bush speaks to the nation from Fort Bragg: "We fight today because
terrorists want to attack our country and kill our citizens, and Iraq is
where they are making their stand. So we'll fight them there, we'll
fight them across the world, and we will stay in the fight until the
fight is won."

June 29th 2005. The next day, another private pilot veers into
restricted airspace, the Capitol is again evacuated, and this time, so
is the President.

I guess, as an American, we will have to disagree. I saw no threat to
the United States during the run up to the war. I saw no evidence of any
connection between the events of 9/11 and Saddam Hussein.

I only saw weapons inspectors literally *begging* the U.S. to allow them
to finish their work; crowds in the streets across the globe protesting
unprovoked aggression; phony estimates of the costs of invasion and
occupation; phony documentation presented as fact; no-bid contracts to
conduct the war; U.S. covert agents betrayed by their own government;
ongoing government attempts to rigidly control media coverage of the
war; official suspicion cast upon any naysayers, regardless of their
past patriotism (i.e., Sen. Murtha); a nation of good guys transformed
into a nation of torturers and on and on.

All in all, I see a dishonorable, dishonest and corrupt cadre of
"elected" officials profiting wildly from the conduct of a dishonorable
and corrupt war visited upon an undeserving foreign land. I cannot
imagine that it will not return to haunt us.

You talk the talk, but can you walk the walk? Do you have any cite
other than a whack-job conspiricy website that supports your claims
for the burn time at the WTC?

And building #7 had burned a great deal, something that the 911

Several years back when the self-proclaimed anarchists came to Seattle

There ya go, nothing to worry about, this whole Islamic terrrorism
thing is nothing but a political scam to get votes. Islam is a
religion of peace, there's a quote you can take out of context
in the Qu'ran that says so.

No matter how much you hate the Bush administration
and love the Islamofacists, it really should be evident to
you by now which group is most fervent about wanting
you dead.

I don't think anarchy is terribly workable either, but let's
be fair. Anarchists are not and have never been against organization,
or even following orders. They simply object to being made a part
of an organization or made to follow orders *without their consent*.

I also went to the Maryland FIre Museum resently and saw melted iron

So you' dlike to believe that the victims in New York City,
Bali, Madrid, London, and Mumbai were all ficticious?
Would that make you feel better about the world?

So it is your opinion that Islamic extremists are less
dangerous to you than the current US government?
You would be more comfortable in a polity run by
these Islamic extremists than you would be living
in the USA?

You can't control, nor completely understand the
Islamic extremists. Therefore you run back to
something you think you *can* control, the US
government...you kid yourself into thinking that
if you use your power to protest and vote and
change your government, all will be better with
the world. This belief protects you from having
to think about the fact that there are people in
the world who want you either dead or enslaved,
and don't care what changes you've made to
your government in your attempts to appease
them.

If the US were the only nation in the world to suddenly start thinking
and behaving rationally, instead of religiously or emotionally, then I
would expect the world would become a better place in short order.

They are thinking and behaving rationally. They're just
not reacting how your emotions tell you they should,
because they've got information and goals that you
don't understand. Make no mistake, people who can't
think rationally don't rise to positions of control in
major governments.

That's not true.

Bush is arguing with religion, not with ratio. And what he's doing,
obviously is not based on ratio.

Where did I say appease? Same old strawman.

As a patriot, it is my duty to protest the actions of my misguided
government and vote to change it. Supporting a government that is
destroying the US Constitution, destroying America's reputation in the
world, and creating more Islamic terrorists every day is an act of treason.

I don't see how you can interpret my observation in that
fashion. Whether you or I see the government as "doing
a good job" is orthogonal to whether the government leaders
are making rational decisions based on their information
and goals. If you think the leaders have wrong information
or disagree with their goals, they could all be geniuses
and you'd still consider them to be doing a bad job.

The facts are otherwise. Rummy told us the war in Iraq would be no more
than six months. Shooter told us "weeks, not months." Georgie told Pat
Roberts that there would be no U.S. casualties. Shooter told us that
the insurgency was "in its last throes, if you will." These are not the
comments of people who can think rationally.

People who think rationally stated that Iraq had no WMD. People who
think rationally stated that invading Iraq would be walking into a
quagmire. People think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an influx of Islamic extremists. People who think rationally
stated that invading Iraq would inflame followers of Islam and breed new
extremists. People who think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an Iraqi civil war.

The statements of people who think rationally were dismissed by people
who can't think rationally -- people much like you.

You've previously demonstrated your grasp of "facts",
Lamont - and I was somewhat less than impressed.
Perhaps the word you were looking for was "opinions"?

No, the word I was looking for was the word that I used: facts. You,
being a member of the Bush flock, wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in
the face.

Here's the part of my post (the facts) that you snipped:

The facts are otherwise. Rummy told us the war in Iraq would be no more
than six months. Shooter told us "weeks, not months." Georgie told Pat
Roberts that there would be no U.S. casualties. Shooter told us that
the insurgency was "in its last throes, if you will." These are not the
comments of people who can think rationally.

People who think rationally stated that Iraq had no WMD. People who
think rationally stated that invading Iraq would be walking into a
quagmire. People think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an influx of Islamic extremists. People who think rationally
stated that invading Iraq would inflame followers of Islam and breed new
extremists. People who think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an Iraqi civil war.

The statements of people who think rationally were dismissed by people
who can't think rationally -- people much like you.

Thus providing evidence that you *don't* understand the
difference between a fact and an opinion. Thank you

Certainly. I'm simply aware of the fact that rational people
don't always agree, due to differences in information, goals,
or simply perspective. Partisan extremism on either side
is no evidence of irrationality on the part of the Bush
administration.

Are you really convinced that a person incapable of
rational thought could perform the necessary actions
required to attain a governorship and then a presidency?
Go on and on all you like about his mental limitations,
eventually you'll realize that he's the one sitting in the
Oval Office ignoring your opinion instead of vice versa,
and he didn't get there by accident.

the US government or Islamic extremists?

What's your master plan, then? Come on, show
me what a genius you are. What's your plan for
making the world - or at least yourself - safe from
people who want you dead simply because you
don't follow Allah? "Impeach Bush" isn't a plan,
since you haven't said what you'd do in his
stead. Get around your swallowing and spewing
venom and think for a change.

What's clear is that you get your "facts" from the likes of George W.
Bush, a chronic liar.

Here are the facts that you snipped from my response:

The facts are otherwise. Rummy told us the war in Iraq would be no more
than six months. Shooter told us "weeks, not months." Georgie told Pat
Roberts that there would be no U.S. casualties. Shooter told us that
the insurgency was "in its last throes, if you will." These are not the
comments of people who can think rationally.

People who think rationally stated that Iraq had no WMD. People who
think rationally stated that invading Iraq would be walking into a
quagmire. People think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an influx of Islamic extremists. People who think rationally
stated that invading Iraq would inflame followers of Islam and breed new
extremists. People who think rationally stated that invading Iraq would
result in an Iraqi civil war.

The statements of people who think rationally were dismissed by people
who can't think rationally -- people much like you.

I neither swallowed nor spewed venom. Don't judge others by your own
shortcomings.

There is absolutely no proof that anybody wants me dead just because I
don't follow Allah. Talk about not thinking. You are worse than Bush
who says they want us dead because they don't like our freedoms. They
want us dead because we have meddled in the affairs of their countries
for a hundred years. It's really as easy as that.

Presumably you actually are that stupid.

Post 9/11 it was obvious to anyone with a clue that that sort of
thing could be done, so anyone with a clue makes it harder to
hijack aircraft and makes it harder to deliberately crash them
into what matters by making it impossible to get up the front
and be able to drive the plane etc.

The Isrealis didnt realise the problem with aircraft hijacking
initially, but when they did, no one has been able to hijack
one of theirs since, over quite a few decades now.

Even someone as stupid as you should have noticed
that its much harder to drive a truck up to the front
of anything that matters post Oklahoma too.

Yes, but it was you who said: "...If you seriously believe something

Then you don't listen to Bin Laden or any of his underlings
when they post their rantings to the world. You
ignore uncomfortable facts so that you can shout your
comfortable opinions as facts, imagine my surprise that
you shout down others because you think they are doing
so instead of you.

What a brilliant fucking comment. Actually, it did not have to happen
at all.

9/11 was anticipated and could have been prevented. Al Gore led a
commission to improve air security in the US, but the Republican
Congress blocked its recommendations. Gore stressed action against bin
Laden in his 2000 Campaign Platform. He would have continued Clinton /
Gore policies holding the Taliban accountable while pursuing Al Queda.

In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American
Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating the hijacking
of airliners and use them as weapons to crash into targets and cause
mass casualties.

9/11 happened on Bush's watch for a reason: incompetence. The Bushies
were too busy passing tax cuts for their wealthy friends and clearing
brush in Texas to pay any attention to the security of the country.

That planes could be used as weapons was known for a long time before
9/11. The recommendations of the Gore Commission would have made it
much harder to hijack aircraft. Unfortunately, the
Republican-controlled Congress was much too busy fixating on Clinton's
dick to take any action on those recommendations.

Yes, but it wasnt clear that anyone would actually be stupid
enough to kill themselves that way. While it was clear that
some stupid Japs had done that in the past, it wasnt at all
clear that some stupid rag heads would try it now.

It was certainly clear that some stupid rag heads would try
that truck bomb after quite a few US marines got blown to
bits in Beirut earlier, it wasnt clear that a home grown fuckwit
would actually be stupid enough to do that in the US itself either.

Easy to claim. Maybe you would care to explain just how something
like London or Madrid can be completely eliminated now.

Pig ignorant lie.

Yes, after the event when it became clear that someone
would actually be stupid enough to go that route.

Sure, flush the part which proves that 9/11 was anticipated, you lying
cocksucker. In it you will see that, contrary to your assertion that I
was lying when I said that 9/11 was anticipated, the North American
Aerospace Defense Command did, in fact, anticipate it:

9/11 was anticipated and could have been prevented. Al Gore led a
commission to improve air security in the US, but the Republican
Congress blocked its recommendations. Gore stressed action against bin
Laden in his 2000 Campaign Platform. He would have continued Clinton /
Gore policies holding the Taliban accountable while pursuing Al Queda.

In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American
Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating the hijacking
of airliners and use them as weapons to crash into targets and cause
mass casualties.

9/11 happened on Bush's watch for a reason: incompetence. The Bushies
were too busy passing tax cuts for their wealthy friends and clearing
brush in Texas to pay any attention to the security of the country.

The G8 summit in Italy, attended by Bush and Rice in the summer of

Like hell they ever did in the sense that they realised that
there was any plan to crash 5 planes simultaneously into
a variety of sites of national significance, let alone bring
down the twin towers as spectacularly as actually happened.

Nope, you do what is feasible to prevent another 9/11,
and accept the fact that it is never going to be feasible
to prevent some loons blowning up cars wherever they
feel like it like is happening in Iraq today, and that its just
not feasible to apply the sorts of searches and ID checks
that are quite effective with heavy aircraft to all public
transport and eliminate all risks of another London or Madrid.

Just another mindless stupid straw man.

Like hell they were with such an effectively coordinated attempt
to crash 5 planes into buildings of national significance, or even
that the twin towers would collapse so spectacularly.

There had been previous attempts to damage those
towers, which had amounted to no more than a nuisance.

Its now obvious that mass public transport is quite vulnerable
to what happened with London and Madrid and its become
clear that there is a significant problem with home grown
arseholes who are stupid enough to blow themselves to bits.

The problem is that there isnt a lot you can do to stop that sort of thing.

Its quite feasible to stop aircraft being hijacked and the Israelis
have demonstrated that it aint anything like rocket science.

Which is a country mile from the point. You seemed to think only
"Japs" had used planes as missiles, or planned to.
Do you still think that, or is this more flailing?

Here it is again. You might consider changing your nym from "speed"
to something more apt - perhaps "snail's pace."

"In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, the North American
Aerospace Defense Command conducted exercises simulating the hijacking
of airliners and use them as weapons to crash into targets and cause
mass casualties."

"In the two years before the Sept. 11 attacks..." is not hindsight.

And it was considered that the risk of that happening didnt
warrant the massive cost of avoiding that until it happened.

Never said it was. The hindsight involved realising that some

Never ever said anything even remotely resembling anything like that.

With any threat there is a tradeoff between the cost and effort
required to eliminate it and what might happen if you dont.

We dont bother to have the same level of checks of bags and
ID with public transport as we do with the airlines, for a reason.

Even someone as stupid as you should have noticed that it just
isnt practical to eliminate any possibility of some fool stuffing
their car with explosives and blowing it up with them in it. Even
tho we know that some fools are doing that in Iraq right now.

I see you missed the parts about the US's only hope being
complete submission to Islam, and the parts about spreading
the caliphate to Spain and beyond. You ignore the facts that
make you uncomfortable.

I'm sure the tens of thousands who have lost their jobs, the thousands who have

the rest of the world is with this country and its current leadership.

You know that is a lie, of course, but Republicans have so fouled up
that you cannot say anything true about them that wouldn't embarrass
you. Why do you still defend their incompetence?

The answer depends upon what the task is that the Bush regime is doing.
If it's a question of fomenting terrorism and slaughtering children and
committing massive treason against America, the Bush regime is doing a
great job. If it's a question of upholding the Constitution and abiding
by the laws of civilized nations, the Bush regime are mass baby killers.

Like hell they did. They just didnt realise that those fools were

thing or that they could even organise it that effectively either.

SURE they did. And you wouldnt know what a fascist
regime was if it bit you on your lard arse anyway.

Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed fantasys.

Slick did fuck all about bin Laden.

Even now, there is quite a bit that just isnt feasible to do much about.

Its perfectly possible to put a nuke into a shipping container
and blow it up as the ship enters a major US port. It just aint
feasible to inspect all of those offshore before they can get
close enough to be a problem.

Its perfectly possible to had a semi with explosives ala Oklahoma
and flick the switch where its going to cause the maximum of chaos.
Its just not feasible to inspect all trucks and cars to avoid that either.

In spades with mass public transport to avoid the likes of London and Madrid.

Froth at the mouth all you like, clown, its clear why
you get no say what so ever on anything at all, ever.

They only had to operate in terms of a few dozen people.
That's a far cry from the groups presidents and governors

You're ignoring the majority of my post because it
presents conclusions you're uncomfortable with.
In the extreme case, it is possible to proceed
rationally from an insane basis towards a goal
that most people would identify as mad. In the
less extreme case - which is what we have in
the US - there are a number of very vocal
Americans who believe that the US government
is irrational simply because they don't accept
the basis and goals of the current administration
as reasonable, they don't realize that they're
talking about two entirely different things.

If you are unwilling to accept your opponent as
rational, then there's no reason to examine their
perspective or goals, it makes it easier to just
dismiss them altogether - and that really gets
you nowhere, since you comfort yourself with
the idea that they are somehow lesser in
intellect than you instead of understanding
what they're up to.

Got evidence that Iraq supported terrorism? Even the Bush
Administration backed off that lie. And you have to be on some serious
drugs to believe that the cause of the current Iraq war was anyone
other than the US government.

It's nice to see fuckwits like yourself using the false dichotomy
falacy. You have to be a total idiot to not see how Bush and his
chronies do indeed use the overblown hype of a terrorist attack to
score political points. Bush is just as bad (and in many cases worse)
than these "Islamofascists" (whatever the fuck that word means).

Nothing ironic because anarchists aren't against organization. They're
against governments. What is ironic is that you would advertise your
ignorance like this and not even realize you're being ignorant.

Indeed. O' course, it's a lot more comfortable for the terminally
ignorant to assume all anarchists fall into a strawman which opposes
any form of organization.

Why of course. The US government can imprison him, takes nearly half
of what he earns, and starts wars which cause these Islamic extremists
to hate us in the first place.

But you're still a moron using strawman arguments, in any case.

The OP is an arrogant buffoon. The 9/11 commission, as impartial
a group as exists in the government, concluded that there were no
ties to terrorism before Bush invaded. Not to mention the fact that
both the 9/11 commission and former top US weapons inspector
David Kay concluded that there were no WMD in Iraq. A Harris
Poll was just conducted asking the question of whether Iraq had
WMD. In 2005 36% of people thought Iraq did. Now 50% of
people think Iraq did. This can only be explained by politics and
lots of gullible people listening to talk radio. Use Google to search
on "36% 50% WMD Iraq" to find articles on this Harris Poll.

So, show me the proof that you do not have a parasitic alien-being
living inside your brain that's making you have these bouts of selective
amnesia. SHOW ME THE CITE, BUG-INFESTED BRAIN! Ha! Did not think you could.

Still keeping the lie alive?

You mean inspectors like Hans Blix and the IAEA Team that we told to
leave Iraq or else we could not guarantee their safety? ["We could not
guarantee their safety," is diplo-speak for "You'll be our next target
as soon we murder the people at the Al-Jazeera studio in Baghdad."]

Here, I will give a cite. Warning: It's from known liars.

Timeline of UN-Iraq-Coalition Activity 1991-2002

http://lists.state.gov/SCRIPTS/WA-USIAINFO.EXE?A2=ind0302d&L =us-iraqpolicy&H=1&O=D&P=1553

Show me where it says Iraq refused to comply with UN mandates.

Yep - he's done a great job fueling terrorism plus there are likely more
children being slaughtered / bombed today than prior to his invasion
into Iraq.

A definite growth industry growing by the day under GW policies.

The WP was only the last report I have read. I read lots of sources,

Don't be a ditto-head; read actual news sources instead of biased

And another "kiddo" who doesn't understand the difference
between a fact and an opinion chimes in. Here's a hint,
"kiddo", calling someone's opinion a "lie" isn't a great
way to convince other people that you're a beacon of wisdom.
I say "other people", because apparently you've done a
bang-up job of convincing yourself.

And that's your idea of fighting terrorism?
You might as well run up the white flag, if you're going to justify a
$2 trillion war, an open-ended committment, tens upon tens of
thousands of casualties and civil war in the name of cutting off
funding for a few dozen suicide bombers who have never targeted the
US.

That is incorrect.
The rate of unemployment is greater by nearly half again. Real wages
have declined. The DJIA has not yet returned to the high under
Clinton.
It is rather amazing that someone dumb enough to support Bush could
have started a business.

And yet we're stll left without a shred of evidence that Iraq has ever
"supported terrorism." This would appear to be another insane rightard
lie, one cooked up by the fascist regime.

Once again I ask;

Proof that there were pools of ANYTHING under the rubble. (And the
footage of the guy saying it's "red hot" under the rubble doesn't
constitute proof. He doesn't mention pools of anything.)

Proof that the pools (assuming you prove they existed) were iron. My
first thought was that it might have been aluminum from the planes and
other sources in the buildings.

Proof that the pools (assuming you prove they existed and were iron)
actually remained molted for "weeks"

I'm not holding my breath waiting for any of this!

Same footage of the fireman. "Red hot," no mention of pools of molten
anything.

Wrong, as always. Even a terminal cretin such as yourself

Nope. Just the evidence that that arsehole did support terrorism.

What it was actually about was getting rid of Saddam, and even someone
as stupid as you should have noticed that he aint driving that bus anymore.

Personally I wouldnt have bothered, but thats because those fools
are such terminal fuckwits that as soon as that happened they started
looting everything that wasnt nailed down, and moved on from that
to ripping each other's throats out very enthusiastically indeed, and
I dont see any point in having any of our kids end up dead when the
stupid rag heads are only interested in ripping each other's throats out.

Afghanistan in spades, tho in that case it has ensured
that it isnt as easy to train terrorists there anymore.

Separate matter entirely.

It does sometimes work tho, most obviously
with Ghaddafi and Germany and Japan in WW2.

In this case the stupid rag heads are just too stupid.

Not obvious at all. I'll give you that law enforcement failing to

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

So stupid that it cant even manage to work out that
I was JUST making a comment on whether Saddam
ever supported terrorism and didnt originally make ANY
comment on whether the invasion of Iraq was worth doing.

Just in case it still hasnt got thru your thick skull, I dont see
any point in spending the immense amount of money involved
in attempting to occupy Iraq, let alone the lives of western kids
being put on the line. If they are actually stupid enough to want
to rip each other's throats out now instead of getting their act
into gear on doing something effective about running the country,
they should be left to do what they like and let that pathetic excuse
for a country rip itself to shreds if thats what those clowns want to do.

Afghanistan in spades, even tho thats much
less expensive in terms of cash and our lives.

No bigotry involved in realising that Germany and Japan had
enough sense to get their act into gear once they had got
fucked over very comprehsively indeed and that the Iraqis are
so stupid that they cant manage something as basic as that.

Just another of your stupid bare faced lies.

What its actually about is working out what can
be effectively controlled, and what isnt practical.

Nothing whatever to do with plots know to the last detail, fuckwit.

Nope, it just wasnt recognised at that time that there would be
enough willing to kill themselves that spectacularly to make it
warrant the immense cost of searching everyone, fuckwit.

The same thing happened with the Isrealis. It was always obvious
that hijacks were possible. It was only after it became clear that
there were enough fuckwits into doing that around to warrant the
considerable expense involved in ensuring that it couldnt happen
that even the Israelis bothered.

In spades with the most recent measures. It was always obvious
that some would be stupid enough to blow themselves to bits and
take some Isrealis with them. Its only lately that the frequency has
become high enough to warrant the expense of the only really
feasible approach, a fucking great wall to keep them out etc.

Its always been obvious that anyone can organise shipping
containers stuffed with explosives, its just not practical to
search them all offshore so they're just a yawn if they do go bang.

And yet you can't come up with any such evidence -- for obvious reasons.
Your baby killing Fuhrer wound you up, told you who your "enemy" was
supposed to be, and set you on your way to defend crimes against humanity
and treason against America.

When you find evidence, do get back to me, rightard. Thanks.

In the end Saddam complied.

bush,jr ignored the facts and
attacked nonetheless leading
our country into the worst mess
in our history.

*78* days until we elect a new congress.
Only 35% of America support bush,jr, Republicans, or the war.

I admit nothing.

Getting involved in a ground war in the Middle East is something previous
presidents, Republican and Democrat alike avoided...except for bush,jr.

The most ignorant president in our history.

The outcome of the bush,jr Iraqi war will be the same if we leave tomorrow
or if we leaver two years from now.....only more Americans will have died
needlessly.

The outcome, failure, was foretold the day bush,jr conceived this travesty


*78* *days until we elect a new congress*.
*Only 35% of America supports bush,jr, Republicans, or the war*.

bush,jr's war failed three years ago.
America is awakening and will demand change

Yes we should have just sat back and let Hussein proliferate weapons to
his friends the terrorists.

I'm with you Sid. We should immediately surrender and convert to
Islam.

If you weren't so pompous up until now, I'd think you were kidding.

But you were, and I don't.

Let's put it this way: the people who support Bush are far more stupid
than those in his adminstration. For example, we got this "Rod Speed"
character saying things so stupid and false that Bush and company won't
even go there.

That's pretty stupid, actually. You can't do much against a government
with millions of armed people who are going after you. You can,
however, take out the bully down the street's kneecaps so he'll never
bother you again.

Government is more or less welcomed by sheep.

They were destroyed during the decade of sanctions and the first Gulf
War, obviously. The US government knew this because they did most of
the destroying. Which means that the US government lied about the
pretexts for war.

Why don't you back up your claims with hard numbers, then? Then again,

You repeated the same bullshit.

Americans are not better off.

Most Americans have become poorer since the Republicans took control.

Bullshit.

Thermate is basically 2/3 Thermite and 1/3 barium nitrate, it contains
less that 2% of suphur and is used as an incendiary to start fires and melt
stuff.

In demolition its typically used to melt complex pieces of machinery into
a fused lump, a good example is a the breech mechanism on
a gun

You would NOT use either Thermite or Thermate to bring down
a building. Instead you used shaped charges or detcord to
slice through the steel. The effects of thermite/thermate are
very hit and miss in a large structure while properly placed
explosives are very effective.

Having seen demolitions and building collapses the experts

fire.

paul are you really a person or just a computer bot? man a 9 year old
could not fly the plane. One of the most decorated combat pilots said
he could not have flown the plane that good and he has been flying 45
years. So if you think a 9 year old could fly the plane your just a
dumb ass uneducated person go back to school if you ever went. or a
computer bot that programmed to type shit in these blogs. to everybody
else listen most of the post are by bot or people that have no
education at all. when a person says a 9 year old could fly a 747 on
one of the hardest flight paths... that not a real person...and IF it
is I feel sorry for you.

name one building that was brought down by fire dumb ass. the madrid
building in spain burned for two day and at twice the temp as the trade
towers and it didn't fall so you dont know shit.

sorry one more time for your stupidity. pressure from falling buildings
WILL not crush elements into a very consistent mixture of all the
elements in the tower in one hand full of dust we found iron, all the
makeup of computers, furniture, concrete, and many other elements
copper aluminum and thermate as well as cordite nitrocellulose and
nitroglycerin the list goes on and it was all in perfect micron
particulates sorry pressure from falling material will not do this.
only explosives.

LOL .....No, the difference is that you don't really know what
happened, other
than speculation on your part and other conspiracy types.

Have you seen the "As-Built" structural drawings for the buildings?
yes

Have you worked in the building, on these types of buildings, trade?
yes

Do you have a degree in Mechanical Engineering with a degree in yes
metallurgy and a secondary in mechanical failure?

we are a team a professors from MIT, Stanford and Cornell

maybe you should ask yourself the same questions LOL

Show me/the world some FACTS instead of your speculation.

just name any that has fallen from fire..... And yes there have been
buildings that have burned longer and at must hotter temp... can you
name them..? probably not LOL have you even seen the towers when they
fell all the fuel had burned off the buildings where smoldering there
was no giant flames just black smoke which is indicative of the lack of
oxygen in fire no fire sorry and building 7 had fires in 15 room hardly
enough to bring it down that's what we have sprinklers for man.

A big chunk of Building 7 was completely missing. I find myself unable

It's pointless, when he won't even understand what you're saying.

Waiting for the comeback, about how no building ever collapsed from just
a fire, or whatever.

Yeah, downright stupid, that's Isaac Asimov all over.

Note that Asimov didn't say *any* government, he specifically
chose the *American* government. Care to consider why
he made that distinction?

Sure you can. Unless the bully down the street is a little
bit bigger and meaner than you are, which he likely is or
he wouldn't be bullying you.

Your alternative? Places without functioning governments
tend to be known as hell holes for a reason.

OK here's 4 that I know of without even thinking about it

The St. George Hotel in NYC collapsed during a fire in 1995

The York Hotel - a 12 story steel framed building in northern
England collapsed after a fire in the late 70's. I personally
saw that one.

The Morborne transmitter tower near Peterborough in England
caught fire and collapsed on the evening of Saturday 30th October 2004

Literally dozens of steel framed buildings in the City of London
were destroyed by the fires started during the Blitz of 1940

Steel is VERY vulnerable to collapse during a fire and structural
designers are well aware of the risks which is why they install
fire protection systems and sprinklers. The usual risk assumption
is a fire starting on one floor and spreading slowly.

Now if you destroy those fire protection systems (by flying a
160 ton aircraft into the core of the building) before starting a
fire that simultaneously involves several floors (using 30 tons
of dispersed kerosene) its hardly surprising if that building
fails.

This is especially likely when you realise that WTC 1,2 and 7 were
extremely unusual designs. They used a steel core and external shell

but were necessary to prevent failure of the building by buckling.

Firemen HATE trusses. They have VERY poor fire resistance
and collapse rapidly in any large scale fire. In the UK fire fighters
will not enter a truss floor building unless life is imminently
at risk. They have a saying ' Never trust a truss'

Bullshit


1) I am very aware of how explosives function when used for demolition
and a building demolished using them will not produce the effects
you claim

2) Demolishing a large structure is usually accomplished using very small
amounts of explosive. Of the thousands of tons of material in such
a building less that 0.01 % will be affected by the explosive charge.
You are clearly clueless about explosive demolition happens.
You use gravity to the work for you

3) There is absolutely no evidence from any of the researchers
that points to the conditions you claim were found. I have read
several published reports on the collapse and NONE report
uniform reduction to micron size for the ample reason it
didnt bloody happen.

The report published in the American Chemical Society
on the dust analysis in fact flatly contradicts your claims
and states that the particle size primarily found in the dust
was 10 microns and larger in size.

See the article published in the Feb 1 edition of Environmental
Science & Technology, a peer reviewed journal of excellent
reputation



In morphologic analyses we found that a majority of the mass was fibrous and
composed of many types of fibers (e.g., mineral wool, fiberglass, asbestos,
wood, paper, and cotton) . The particles were separated into size
classifications by gravimetric and aerodynamic methods. Material < 2.5 µm in
aerodynamic diameter was 0.88-1.98% of the total mass. The largest mass
concentrations were > 53 µm in diameter.



The smaller particles (< 75 µm in diameter) included asbestos, soot, lead,
and other trace elements. This is consistent with the dual nature of the
event--the collapse of two buildings overlaying intensely burning structures

Re: It"s a fake terrorist scare, folks

am 23.08.2006 03:37:46 von SoCalMike

Among the many flabbergasting answers that President Bush gave at his
press conference on Monday, this one—about Democrats who propose pulling
out of Iraq—triggered the steepest jaw drop: "I would never question the
patriotism of somebody who disagrees with me. This has nothing to do
with patriotism. It has everything to do with understanding the world in
which we live."

George W. Bush criticizing someone for not understanding the world is
like … well, it's like George W. Bush criticizing someone for not
understanding the world. It's sui generis: No parallel quite captures
the absurdity so succinctly.

This, after all, is the president who invaded Iraq without the slightest
understanding of the country's ethnic composition or of the volcanic
tensions that toppling its dictator might unleash. Complexity has no
place in his schemes. Choices are never cloudy. The world is divided
into the forces of terror and the forces of freedom: The one's defeat
means the other's victory.
Click Here!

Defeating terror by promoting freedom—it's "the fundamental challenge of
the 21st century," he has said several times, especially when it comes
to the Middle East. But here, from the transcript of the press
conference, is how he sees the region's recent events:

What's very interesting about the violence in Lebanon and the
violence in Iraq and the violence in Gaza is this: These are all groups
of terrorists who are trying to stop the advance of democracy.

What is he talking about? Hamas, which has been responsible for much of
the violence in Gaza, won the Palestinian territory's parliamentary
elections. Hezbollah, which started its recent war with Israel, holds a
substantial minority of seats in Lebanon's parliament and would probably
win many more seats if a new election were held tomorrow. Many of the
militants waging sectarian battle in Iraq have representation in
Baghdad's popularly elected parliament.

The key reality that Bush fails to grasp is that terrorism and democracy
are not opposites. They can, and sometimes do, coexist. One is not a
cure for the other.

Here, as a further example of this failing, is his summation of Iraq:

I hear a lot about "civil war"… [But] the Iraqis want a unified
country. … Twelve million Iraqis voted. … It's an indication about the
desire for people to live in a free society.

What he misses is that those 12 million Iraqis had sharply divided views
of what a free society meant. Shiites voted for a unified country led by
Shiites, Sunnis voted for a unified country led by Sunnis, and Kurds
voted for their own separate country. Almost nobody voted for a free
society in any Western sense of the term. (The secular parties did very
poorly.)

The total number of voters, in such a context, means nothing. Look at
American history. In the 1860 election, held right before our own Civil
War, 81.2 percent of eligible citizens voted—the second-largest turnout
ever.

Another comment from the president: "It's in our interests that we help
reformers across the Middle East achieve their objectives." But who are
these reformers? What are their objectives? And how can we most
effectively help them?

This is where Bush's performance proved most discouraging. He said, as
he's said before, "Resentment and the lack of hope create the breeding
grounds for terrorists." This may or may not be true. (Many terrorist
leaders are well-off, and, according to some studies, their resentment
is often aimed at foreign occupiers.) In any case, what is Bush doing to
reduce their resentment?

He said he wants to help Lebanon's democratic government survive, but
what is he doing about that? Bush called the press conference to
announce a $230 million aid package. That's a step above the pathetic
$50 million that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had offered the
week before, but it's still way below the $1 billion or more than Iran
is shoveling to Hezbollah, which is using the money to rebuild Lebanon's
bombed-out neighborhoods—and to take credit for the assistance.

As for Iraq, it's no news that Bush has no strategy. What did come as
news—and, really, a bit of a shocker—is that he doesn't seem to know
what "strategy" means.

Asked if it might be time for a new strategy in Iraq, given the
unceasing rise in casualties and chaos, Bush replied, "The strategy is
to help the Iraqi people achieve their objectives and dreams, which is a
democratic society. That's the strategy. … Either you say, 'It's
important we stay there and get it done,' or we leave. We're not
leaving, so long as I'm the president."

The reporter followed up, "Sir, that's not really the question. The
strategy—"

Bush interrupted, "Sounded like the question to me."

First, it's not clear that the Iraqi people want a "democratic society"
in the Western sense. Second, and more to the point, "helping Iraqis
achieve a democratic society" may be a strategic objective, but it's not
a strategy—any more than "ending poverty" or "going to the moon" is a
strategy.

Strategy involves how to achieve one's objectives—or, as the great
British strategist B.H. Liddell Hart put it, "the art of distributing
and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy." These are
the issues that Bush refuses to address publicly—what means and
resources are to be applied, in what way, at what risk, and to what end,
in pursuing his policy. Instead, he reduces everything to two options:
"Cut and run" or, "Stay the course." It's as if there's nothing in
between, no alternative way of applying military means. Could it be that
he doesn't grasp the distinction between an "objective" and a
"strategy," and so doesn't see that there might be alternatives? Might
our situation be that grim?

Do you ever read the documents that supposedly support your arguments? Like
the highly credible 9/11 Commission Report for its
explaination for why WTC 7 fell?
http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf
Yeah, that's right. It is not mentioned.

Or about how much has remained true from our resolution to declare on Iraq.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021002-2.h tml

It turns out it was lies, all lies.

Or today when Bush reaffirms what everyone on planet Earth always knew,
except a few needle heads who just don't get anything.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/08/20060821.htm l

THE PRESIDENT: What did Iraq have to do with what?


Q The attack on the World Trade Center?


THE PRESIDENT: Nothing, except for it's [sic] part of -- and nobody has ever
suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the attack.
Iraq was a -- the lesson of September the 11th is, take threats before they
fully materialize, Ken. Nobody has ever suggested that the attacks of
September the 11th were ordered by Iraq. I have suggested, however, that
resentment and the lack of hope create the breeding grounds for terrorists
who are willing to use suiciders to kill to achieve an objective. I have
made that case.


And one way to defeat that -- defeat resentment is with hope. And the best
way to do hope is through a form of government. Now, I said going into Iraq
that we've got to take these threats seriously before they fully
materialize. I saw a threat. I fully believe it was the right decision to
remove Saddam Hussein, and I fully believe the world is better off without
him. Now, the question is how do we succeed in Iraq? And you don't succeed
by leaving before the mission is complete, like some in this political
process are suggesting.

[An alarm is heard near Bush's head. Warning, they have turned hostile run
for it, Mr. President.]

Last question. Stretch. Who are you working for, Stretch?


Q Washington Examiner [it is like the Midnight Star].


THE PRESIDENT: Oh, good. Glad you found work. (Laughter.)

Ha, ha. Let's laugh at the king's jokes.

These evil sons of bitches have ruined lives of millions and plan to ruin

What in the fuck are you going on about, boy? Where are those WMDs?
I'm sure the Bush administration would love to see them because neither
they nor the US military has claimed to have found any.

Yadda, yadda, left wing conspiracy, whatever. You might want to
adjust your tinfoil hat. Is the only thing you got is an irrelevant
bullshit screed? Your little "cite" has nothing in the way of evidence
to show Iraq had WMDs. Try again.

You've been given your homework assignment. Now get to proving.

This is especially ironic coming from you, given how you can't cite a
single source to back up your claims about how America is "better off"
under Bush in the economy compared to Clinton nor can you cite anything
showing those Iraqi WMDs. Despite having hard numbers thrown in your
face to the contrary, you simply hand wave it away (without saying why)
as being "left wing."

In fact, kook is a word that fits you quite well.

And Isaac would be the first one to agree that he could say pretty
stupid things. But I don't think that qualifies as one of them.

You still haven't suggested a viaible alternative. Furthermore, taking
out "the bully down the street" might not be an option if he's
surrounded himself with like-minded friends who take YOU out as you get
too close!

I was referring to your repetitive use of your new favorite

Your parents' failure to improve your communication skills

Born in Russia. World traveler. Correspondent on every
issue of his day. Yeah, he was a real provincial yokel-type,
that Asimov. You don't think he saw a difference between,
say, the American government as he saw it and other
powerful governments of the world?

Work to change your government. Maybe this feeds into
the reason Asimov specified the *American* government?

> Government, at best, provides the ILLUSION of security.

Which is why I've never had anyone shell my house,
never had my kid hauled away in the middle of the
night so he can be used as a human mine detector,
and never had a gang of local thugs shoot everyone in
my neighborhood who wasn't from their clan.

That's the opinion usually seen from adolescent wannabe
anarchists. Which paradise without a government do you
see as the shining example of how things should be done?

Numerous people have done well, business wise, under the Bush administration.

Most, however, including middle America, haven't.

This is the point of the argument where, in real life, we ask to see
CPA-audited financial statements supporting the claims.

The jobs that America is losing aren't the ones that "their kids" want,
i.e., minimum wage, can't-support-a-family type jobs.

They're the 10s of thousands that we read about almost every day... The
layoffs from major corporations.

Your little "I don't believe anything the media says" shelter is a great
way to insulate yourself from what is really happening in this country.

In addition, the "I'm doing well, and all of my friends are doing well"
is nothing but a minuscule segment of the population and, in no way
representative of reality.

Personally, I'm doing well in SPITE of Bush and his good-old-boy cronies.

You mean by calling you what you are. It's not anyone's fault but
yours that you're a liar.

In any case, you really need to look up what words mean before using
them.

Do you have an actual point? The Cold War has been over for well over
a decade now. Try to catch up. Whatever Asimov said about the Soviets
has fuck all to do with the present day.

Not likely. He certainly didn't refer to the American government
because citizens without the money to buy a bunch of politicians can
change it.

And? That kind of stuff happens all over the US to other Americans.
It's pretty dumb to attribute your good luck to avoid that to a
government which doesn't prevent it. If some random guy really had a
hard on to shoot you, it would take them about two seconds to pull it
off. The government (i.e. cops) CAN'T prevent such a thing.

Like I said, government provides the illusion of security.....

Yadda, yadda, whatever. Like I said, "fuctioning government" is an
oxymoron.

Not really, kook. You've made a lot of claims but you've provided
ZILCH to back them up. It's not my job to do your homework assignment

Nope. Then again, this firelock fellow is a liar. I never claimed
there was a paradise on earth. It's not even possible. There doesn't
have to be an anarchist paradise out there for one to realize that
government is fundamentally evil and worthless.

Unemployment is a bullshit statistic. It only measures those who are
getting unemployment insurance, which does run out even if a person
hasn't found a job or found a part time/lesser paying job. The
government unemployment statistic has little relevance to how many
people are out of a job and looking for one. It has no relevance on
whether the living standards of people are rising.

You might want to try looking at the total number of jobs in the US
economy under Clinton and compare that to now. Also look at how wages
have changed since then. And poverty rates.

Then again, if you did, you'd notice that under Bush the economy is in
far worse shape by any standard than under Clinton. I know, I know,
reports from the BEA is all part of that grand "left wing" media.

Your ignorance is amazing. Property values have outpaced what
consumers can pay. If consumers can't pay the price, they don't buy.
Which is bad thing, as far as the economy's concerned. The old housing
bubble of the last few years has burst.

??? Are you totally nuts? It's been reported many times that the
average US wage has been dropping for several years for the first time
in 100+years.

It's also a known fact that most all the job "growth" has been via
Walmart (and similar minimum wage jobs) or through the housing boom
which has had most nothing to do with Bush policies (hint - think fed
funds rate, although it can be argued that Bush's failed economic
policies required the Fed to lower rates lower than normal).

It is a fact that the wealthy are getting wealthier, but much of that
is due to the highly selective tax reduction (all with borrowed money)
for the upper 5-6% - at the expense of all others.

When you subtract out the significant raises for many CEO's, it hard to
find anyone who's actually better off today than 10 years ago -
especially after factoring in the loss of many pensions & heath care
benefits.

One has to especially feel for today's X generation - few pensions,
significantly reduced heath care benefits and a stock market (where GW
incourages pension replacement) that's been essentially static for 7
years (a few ups & downs, but mostly just noise).

The Bush years rival only the great depression for lack of job growth,
poor economy, etc..

Please, entertain me further. Present a quote from me where
I lied. This is your cue to mewl and blather, further demonstrating
your adorable inability to differentiate between facts and your
beloved opinions.

An opinion cannot, by definition, be a lie. Someone can
lie about their opinions, but that's a different matter
altogether.

I'm sorry, I was forgetting who I was talking to. I'll simplify
my discussion so that you can keep up with it, as you've
demonstrated that normal rhetorical conventions are
beyond you.

If you don't believe that there is any alternative that won't
be worse, then your whining about how governments are
fundamentally evil and worthless is just philosophical
masturbation. I can demonstrate that governments
*have* worth, simply due to the alternatives that some
of those governments (such as those of America and
most European countries) prevent.

Of an immigrant family, in an immigrant community with

Ah, I see. What Asimov said was "stupid" because he said
it a few decades ago, instead of today...because Chris is too
thick to see the general relevance of Asimov's statement.

Tell me, Chris, since you have to choose a government to
live under, would you prefer Switzerland or Somalia?
The USA or North Korea? Australia or Pakistan? You've
presented that they're all evil, worthless, non-functional,
so it should make no difference to you, right?

People in groups create change. You really need to understand
this, because it is what slays the anarchist philosophy: you and
a hundred individuals will not prevail against a hundred people
who have made common cause with each other, whether for
good or ill.

Cite? Who is destroying neighborhoods, without agents of
government trying to stop them? Who is dragging children
out of houses to expend in wars? What gangs are roiling
through neighborhoods performing internicine slaughter
without the police trying to bring them down? You're
demonizing government with writings that say you live
in a fantasy world.

They prevent it from being the norm. They prevent it from
happening on a mass scale. I have a chance against you,
even you with a gun. I have little chance against you and
a thousand of your armed friends.

Say it three times and it becomes true, eh? Rubbish. Present
your alternative, or keep up the childish ravings about How
The Man Is Oppressing You. My entertainment is nevertheless
assured.

The statistics published by the media are invariably those released by
the government.
Bush has never gotten the unemployment rate down to the rate he
inherited. He hasn't got the DJIA back to the high he inherited.
Real wages have declined, unlike under Clinton, when they rose nearly
every year he was in office.
Now, it looks like the housing bubble has burst, with record numbers
of unsold homes on the market.
It isn't that your experience is at odds with the overall picture.
It's that you're lying.

Real wages are down. Poverty is up. A federal budget surplus has been
turned into a massive deficit. That pretty much summarizes the Bush
economy.

Real wages have declined under Bush. Poverty has increased. The middle
class is shrinking.

You are either stupid or a liar. Real wages have declined every year
that Bush has been in office. Poverty has increased. The federal
deficit has exploded. The only people who are better off are the
extemely wealthy.

Unemployment is higher than under Clinton. There are now fewer
manufacturing jobs than under Clinton. Real wages are lower. More
people are in poverty. More people are without health insurance. The
deficit, which will be passed on to future generations, has exploded.
Those are the economic indicators that mean something.

Great. So if you're in the top X% (income wise) of the population, you're
doing better. The vast majority of America isn't!

Finally some validity. There was no surplus, but you have to admit the
deficit has grown outrageously since big spender Bush got hold of it.

His spending makes most any democrat look like a fiscal moderate. Of
course, the spending has mostly been for his pet projects (invasion of
Iraq, tax relief for the oil companies, wealthiest 6%, etc) with
relatively little for the actual fight on terrorism & the public in
general. Fact is, he's drained the treasury to record levels.

The period in that first sentence should have come after the word

It really is quite stupid to insist in one place that only official

Jesus, man.
Bush said that surplus would pay for his tax break. Gore said he
wanted to buy down debt. You took the bribe.

"One of the most important problems in the current economy is that,
despite strong growth in labor productivity, hourly wages for most
workers are not keeping pace with inflation."

http://www.epi.org/content.cfm/webfeatures_snapshots_2006011 1.

Hint - an increase in wage is not a true increase unless it surpasses
inflation.

Then again, you believe a $34k gain over 4 years on your house is
meaningful (another hint - it most likely doesn't exceed inflation).

Your statements show just how stupid you are. When revenues exceed
outlays, there is a surplus. That is what happened under Clinton.
Also, part of the surplus was used to pay down the debt owed to the
public. It's really very easy to understand if you just think a little
bit. Since you apparently have no idea how any of this works, I'll make
it very simple for you. If you earn take in $5000 and spend $4000, then
you have a $1000 surplus. You can then take the $1000 and pay off some
of what you owe. That's what happened in fiscal years 1998-2001.

www.cbo.gov/budget/historical.pdf

Deficit(-) Debt Owed
or to the
Year Revenues Outlays Surplus(+) Public
----- -------- ------- ------- ----------
1997 1,579.4 1,601.3 -21.9 3,772.3
1998 1,722.0 1,652.7 69.3 3,721.1
1999 1,827.6 1,702.0 125.6 3,632.4
2000 2,025.5 1,789.2 236.2 3,409.8
2001 1,991.4 1,863.2 128.2 3,319.6

All figures are in billions of dollars.

So, even a dumbass can see that more money was received in fiscal years
1998 thru 2001 than was spent. That is called a surplus. And, even a
dumbass can see that the debt owed to the public was reduced in fiscal
years 1998 thru 2001. These are ACTUAL figures, not ESTIMATED. The
money that was ACTUALLY RECEIVED EXCEEDED the money that was ACTUALLY
SPENT for the fiscal years 1998 thru 2001. That is why there were
ACTUAL SURPLUSES for those years.

Maybe you need to increase your knowledge of money.

I don't give a shit who you know. The median income has DROPPED by
$1000 since Bush took office. The number of people in poverty has
INCREASED since Bush took office. The number of people without
healthcare has INCREASED since Bush took office. Those are verifiable
facts, not the anectdotal crap that you and the other dumbasses use to
draw your erroneous conclusions.

There were surpluses for 4 fiscal years -- 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.

How many of these new jobs are in the manufacturing sector?

Hint 1 - That is really the wrong question.

Hint 2 - The right question is: How many manufacturing jobs have been lost?

Although a good number of his facts are supposedly based on first hand
information ("my friends," "the people that *I* know," etc.), they're
hardly representative of this country, as a whole.

Apparently, ignorance truly *is* bliss.

Only an idiot would make statements about the economy (or anything else,

More importantly, have these added jobs kept pace with population
growth?
Since the work force in the US is about 125 million, 5.5 million new
jobs is (well) under 2% growth per year. According to the census
bureau, population growth is running at about 3.5%. So, the answer to
that question is no; 5.5 million new jobs represents a loss.

Bush inherited an unemployment rate of 3.9%. The lowest in more than

Obviously misrepresented statistics. Why are you starting from midpoint
and ignoring the job losses?

"Inflation-adjusted hourly and weekly wages (2206) are below where they
were at the start of the recovery in November 2001. Yet,
productivity—the growth of the economic pie—is up by 14.7%.1 (Figure A)
Wage growth has been shortchanged because 46% of the growth of total
income in the corporate sector has been distributed as corporate
profits, far more than the 20% in previous periods.2Consequently, median
household income (inflation-adjusted) has fallen five years in a row and
was 4% lower in 2004 than in 1999, falling from $46,129 to $44,389.3" -
http://www.epi.org/content.cfm/pm110

Even starting from the start of the recovery, jobs have been scare -
disappearing at about the same rate as they have been created.
Furthermore, most of the "growth" has been either Walmart type, minimum
wage jobs or in the housing sector (created by low Fed funds rate -
essentially unrelated to Bush policies).

Point is, there may have been 5.5 M new jobs created between 2003 -
2006, but there has been essentially an equal number of jobs lost.

"The United States has only 1.9% more jobs today than in March 2001 (the
start of the last recession). Private sector jobs are up only 1.5%. At
this stage of previous business cycles, jobs had grown by an average of
8.8% and never less than 6.0%.8 The unemployment rate is relatively low
at 4.6%. But the percent of the population that has a job has never
recovered since the recession and is still 1.3% lower than in March
2001. If the employment rate had returned to pre-recession levels,
almost 4 million more people would be employed.9 More than 3 million
manufacturing jobs have been lost since 2000.10

Fact - there are 1.3% fewer jobs today vs. March, 2001 even with the
5.5M jobs created between 2003 - 2--6. It's even worse if you start from
when Bush was first elected.

That should be 2006 not 2206 and the last sentence should read

Even if that were true, why has Bush done nothing about it?
Well, he did try to do something about it. He tried to get the burger
assemblers at fast-food joints classified as manufacturing jobs.
Bush's economy is one-dimensional and greatly favors those on the
commanding heights. It's just one more reason he's the worst
president in history.

And why don't you put the blame where the mess started? Clinton was
the
one that started this economic mess and left it for Bush to deal with.
Have you not been in the workforce long enough to remember how Clinton
screwed all the Union/Labourers/Textile/Mfg workers?

Yet real wages grew at historic rates under Clinton, and have been
flling every single year Bush has been in office.
The "mess" that Clinton left was one of the lowest rates of
unemployment in history, real wage growth and a budget surplus.

It's a generally accepted fact that the stock market reflects the
business conditions for the next 6-18 months. (Most investors look
forward when deciding how to invest their money.)

Almost to the day GW was elected, the market went downhill and has been
essentially static since that time with an occasional bump & and a bump
dow, but primarily noise. Investors quickly flocked to bonds & CDs
(even at 1-2% returns) rather than expand / invest in business.

The poor recovery / lack of expansion / lack of economic growth has
been due to poor expectations of Bush policies. Who wants to invest /
expand where there is so much uncertainty / poor leadership? And not
much has really changed over the past 6+ years to encourage any
investment / expansion.

Fortunately, the Fed saw fit to lower interest rates which helped to
create demand in the housing sector. This had almost nothing to do with
Bush policies, except for the Fed's reaction to how poor the business
conditions became under GW's leadership.

I just answered that elsewhere.

Economic growth is primarily based on optimism. Recessions by
pessimism. Under Clinton, most felt there was no end to prosperity
and spent / invested accordingly.

Since the day Bush was elected, there has been extreme pessimism.
Investment / business expansion ground to a halt due to poor
expectations - placing cash / profits into bonds, CDs and to some
extent, buying back stock rather than investments / expansion.

Hint - the US textile markets have been in significant decline since WW
II with a small short lived blip / expansion for double knits in the 70's.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The money was received,
the money was spent, and the debt was paid down. I have the figures to
support it. You have nothing but some inane mumbling.

The actual figures say that you are a liar.

No, it's called a SURPLUS. It's called four SURPLUSES. Here are the
figures from the Congressional Budget Office. Note that name of the PDF
file is "historical.pdf." Historical means that it has already happened.

www.cbo.gov/budget/historical.pdf

Deficit(-) Debt Owed
or to the
Year Revenues Outlays Surplus(+) Public
----- -------- ------- ------- ----------
1997 1,579.4 1,601.3 -21.9 3,772.3
1998 1,722.0 1,652.7 69.3 3,721.1
1999 1,827.6 1,702.0 125.6 3,632.4
2000 2,025.5 1,789.2 236.2 3,409.8
2001 1,991.4 1,863.2 128.2 3,319.6

All figures are in billions of dollars.

So, even a dumbshit such as you can see that more money was received in
fiscal years 1998 thru 2001 than was spent. That is called a surplus.
And, even a dumbshit such as you can see that the debt owed to the
public was reduced in fiscal years 1998 thru 2001. These are ACTUAL
figures, not ESTIMATED. The money that was ACTUALLY RECEIVED EXCEEDED
the money that was ACTUALLY SPENT for the fiscal years 1998 thru 2001.
That is why there were ACTUAL SURPLUSES for those years.

These are real numbers reflecting what actually happened. They aren't
numbers reflecting what was planned. You are wrong. You should be man
enough to admit what a stupid piece of shit you are, but we know that
won't happen. Well, it doesn't have to happen because you have already
demonstrated it.

Nope, I showed the last column. It clearly shows that the Debt Held by
the Public (I titled it Debt Owed to the Public) DECREASED in 1998,
1999, 2000, and 2001. It did so because there were SURPLUSES in those
years. A surplus enables the Debt Held by the Public to be reduced by
the amount of the surplus. It does not enable the debt to just vanish
as you seem to think. You really are incredibly stupid and you
emphasize the point every time you open your mouth. Do you live in a
trailer park in Buttfuck, Arkansas?

www.cbo.gov/budget/historical.pdf

Deficit(-) Debt Held
or by the
Year Revenues Outlays Surplus(+) Public
----- -------- ------- ------- ----------
1997 1,579.4 1,601.3 -21.9 3,772.3
1998 1,722.0 1,652.7 69.3 3,721.1 - DECREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR
1999 1,827.6 1,702.0 125.6 3,632.4 - DECREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR
2000 2,025.5 1,789.2 236.2 3,409.8 - DECREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR
2001 1,991.4 1,863.2 128.2 3,319.6 - DECREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR

All figures are in billions of dollars. The DECREASE OVER PRIOR YEAR in
the Debt Held by the Public occurred because that year's SURPLUS enabled
part of the Debt Held by the Public to be paid off. This is so fucking
simple that a 5-year-old child can understand it, but you apparently
can't or just want to continue to lie.

You stupid shit. The federal DEBT is sum of all of the prior federal
DEFICITS minus all of the prior federal SURPLUSES. A SURPLUS and a
DEFICIT are one year things -- revenues minus outlays. In 1998 thru
2001, we had SURPLUSES in this country and were able to reduce the DEBT.
I know that this is way over your head (I could teach it to a
5-year-old), but I thought that I'd give it one last try. Here is an
example:

Deficit(-)
Year Revenues Outlays Surplus(+) Debt
1 100 130 -10 30 Deficit increases debt
2 120 130 -10 40 Deficit increases debt
3 125 120 +5 35 SURPLUS decreases debt
4 130 125 +5 30 SURPLUS decreases debt
5 140 135 +5 25 SURPLUS decreases debt
6 150 140 +10 15 SURPLUS decreases debt

So, four straight years of SURPLUSES, but we still have a Debt Held by
the Public.

Take an Economics class at night school. Sign up enough neighbors and
they'll come out to the trailer park to teach it.

Wal-Mart starting pay in 2004 was $8.05. Stockers on night shift got
$9.29. There was a recent report of a 6% increase across the board, in
about 1/3 of the stores. The average hourly pay at Wal-Mart is $10.11.
The healthcare premium is $10/month.

Not great, but you might want to be aware of that before you spout of
misinformation about "minimum wage jobs." I didn't bother to read your
post because you got this part so fundamentally wrong.

You can't say that unless you know what he paid.

I'd be okay with that kind of appreciation ($32,000) on my house that I
paid $242,000 for. That's more than 3% per year appreciation.

In truth, I'd be fairly tolerant of *depreciation* as long as it came
out ahead of $12,000 annual rents. That's right -- I consider the break
even point to be a $48,000 loss over four years because my alternative
would be to rent, and rents in my bracket are well over $1000/month in
my locale.

But every time I try to make a point like this, someone comes back at
*me* suggesting that *I* live in a trailer, and I plonk them.

Irrelevant to whether middle america benefitted from that.

The .com bubble burst much more spectacularly than that during Slick's time.

With the property prices, the most that most of middle america
has seen is that some of the property prices have come off a bit.
They havent actually lost anything financially because of that.

Do you know the difference between mean and median? What has happened to
the inflation-adjusted median income in the past five years? I do agree
that a few people have done spectacularly well under Bush, but most
people are worse off than when he took over.

For what it's worth a housing bubble does not increase real wealth.
Those prices can go down as much as they went up -- and they are
starting to go down.

Nice job cherry-picking the data. Who cares who you know. The government
is still honest in collecting and presenting the data. It says that you
are wrong.

What does it matter. Median has a real meaning. If someone loses a
$35.00/job and gets a $15.00/hour replacement, they are far worse off,
you don't get to ignore that.

Yes, the pathetic jobs recovery has been the worst in the past
half-century. The only reason that we don't see 6% unemployment today is
that people, particularly middle-aged men, have been dropping out of the
workforce. Look at the labor participation rate and total jobs. The
recovery has been anemic, even with the gasoline of low interest rates
and massive deficit spending.

How long will people try to excuse the total incompetence of the Bush
Administration. They screwed up the economy, screwed up national
defense, screwed up 'homeland security', screwed up disaster response
and all I hear is fools who try to blame someone else.

We have an incompentent govenment because Bush can't be bothered to hire
competent people. We have an incompetent president because Republicans
want one.

There was an external surplus. Now there is an external deficit. Bush is

are just as incompetent as he is.

OK - essentially minimum wage (MW is $7.05 where I live). Gee that's

Sorry I insulted your "gain". The poster quoted $32k gain over 4 years.

http://therealreturns.blogspot.com/2005/08/us-median-house-p rice.html
indicates an AVERAGE house (169k to 221k) gained 52k between 2000 -
2004. I'm sure 2005 was significantly higher than 2000, but I wasn't
able to quickly find 2005 pricing. Nevertheless, for the past four
years, a $32k gain is paltry, except perhaps for trailers.

So if Bush's 6+ year poor economy is due to Clinton's policies, was the
Regan economy simply a result of the Carter policies? Hmmmm.

So at what point does GW take any credit / blame for the current state

Huh? I can't win with you people. If I was speculating in real estate

at least as economical as leasing, you cut me down.

Hello - the recent housing boom / increase in ownership has been solely
due to the historically low interest rates. It has little to do with
the overall economy / wages, except that it has admittedly helped
provide jobs to replace a portion of the massive loss in jobs during the
Bush years. It was not part of the Bush policies, but rather in
reaction to his poor policies (The Fed had to lower rates to historic
levels offset the poor economy caused by the expectations of a poor Bush
policies). The irony is that if times were good, the rates would never
have been so low, allowing for increased housing.

It'll be interesting to see if the percent falls back after a few years
of current interest rates.

I didn't say it was a *great* job, but you tried to hold Wal Mart

Name a person who grossed over 60K last year that works for Wal Mart

I certainly wasn't blaming Walmart for the problem, but rather I was
trying to point out that most of the lost jobs are being replaced by
significantly lower paying retail jobs. Fortunately, there has been
some growth somewhere.

GW keeps bragging about all the new jobs, but conveniently ignores all
the lost jobs (about equal in number to the gains). Since the new jobs
are typically less than half the wage of the lost jobs, there has been
an average loss in wages for the average workers in recent years.

GW's followers seem to like his spin.

I was not cutting you down about buying a home. You logic comparing
costs got my attention . The cost of home ownership is more than a
mortgage payment.. Since the average home appreciates about the level
of inflation (over the long term), the average person buying more home
than one really needs or wants - strictly for investment - makes little
sense. On the other hand, for someone earning >$100k, there are many
tax perks (government subsidies) for home ownership. For the person
<$50k, home ownership has questionable advantages vs. renting. It gets
quite complicated in between.

You mentioned a $12k / yr loss in value would be in balance with renting
and you were very pleased with a $48k? gain on a $240K home over the
past 4 years. In reality, there are a lot of expenses for home
ownership beyond its cost of purchase (repairs, maintenance, insurance,
interest, taxes, etc). Furthermore, the average home has gained over
30% in the past four years (About $75k average gain on an average home
over the past 4 years). Many have done significantly better. Less and
you are falling behind. (If you move to a higher growth area, you'll
really feel the pinch).

If you buy a stock and you get your money back, are you pleased with the
result? What if its return equals inflation, have you really gained
anything? It would obviously be nice to beat the averages, but a goal
should not be less than the average. Of course, home ownership is
not typically just about investment.

I'm well aware. I've lived at both ends of that scale. I've been rich,
I've been poor, I've been married, I've been single, I've owned houses,
I've been homeless.

And there are a lot of benefits too.

The better rent houses I've leased had repairs and maintenance costs
that fell on me as well (despite what *should* be), and I don't pay much
more for homeowner's insurance with USAA, than I did for renter's.
Taxes are a bitch but not so high that I actually complain about them,
not at least in the R-1 district of Tucson. I hear other people in
other places bitch about property taxes. I hardly think of it as being
on my short list of financial woes. When leasing, of course, these
costs are factored into rent, and passed on to the tenant. So I don't
see your point exactly.

> Furthermore, the average home has gained over

Great. I don't live in the average home. I suspect that the average
home is one of those recently-built ugly things in one of those suburban
developments that's not within walking distance of culture. I don't
actually give a goddam about those places or their relative value.

I don't believe in "inflation" in the way you seem to. I bought a
gallon of milk for $2.33 last week. About the same cost in actual

Nope, no Prez has much effect on basic economics except

I don't know anyone who has a legitimate general quality control problem
with current consumer goods, regardless of their country of origin. It
may be in vogue to bitch about "cheap products made in China" and while
I can acknowledge that designs are made to be assembled but not
disassembled or repaired, I also observe that things generally work when
you take them out of the box. That's not true for the lowest rung of
imported goods, but then we're not talking about the major retail outlets.

I know that there are several tiers of goods that China exports. The
stuff of Chinese origin that is available in West Africa, for example,
is quite different from the stuff in the US.

After all, we don't want the Chinese to have any U.S. dollars -- they
might use them to buy U.S. exports! (But then, many of my customers
work for Boeing, Microsoft, or their suppliers, so I'm less convinced
than many that the U.S. doesn't make anything anymore.)

I never said he did (directly influence them). Elsewhere, I clearly
pointed out that ups / downs in the economy, etc are primarily due to
optimism / pessimism by business, investors & spenders about the near
future (6-18 months).

When a majority look ahead & see problems (as since the day GW was
elected), they curtail investing in stock, business expansions and
general spending. They tend to lock up what cash they have in low
yielding CDs & bonds while paying down debt, hoping to salvage what they
have. The economy tends to tank accordingly. While many consumers
(primarily lower income folks) have increased their debt load to
compensate for poor economic effects, most businesses & the wealthy have
paid down a significant portion of their debt. On the bright side, a
majority of the well run companies are swimming in cash, waiting for the
promise of better times to expand / invest.

When a majority look ahead and see prosperity (think Clinton years),
they invest in stocks, expand business and spend on all sorts of goods &
services, avoiding low yielding CDs, bonds & etc. The economy, etc
tends to prosper accordingly.

Obviously nothing is 100%, but a shift in overall confidence is the
primary cause of swings in the economy. Oddly, GW voters say one
thing, but have voted quite against GW in their investments / spending
habits. Talk is obviously cheap, so track how they treat their money to
find the true beliefs.

No matter how it's sliced, the poor economy (lack of jobs, lack of
investment, stagnant stock market, etc) have resulted due to the lack of
confidence in GW's ability to lead.

Actually, a very significant portion of those dollars are just being
held and/or invested in US bonds, etc. A clear majority are used to buy
our debt.

Soon, they will simply own the US.

You got stuck. I've been paying $1.99 for months. Once again, your

You're pretty stupid, aren't you? It only indicates how many people
are drawing unemployment insurance. Nothing else. If millions of jobs
leave the economy and those people's insurance runs out, they're no
longer "unemployed" according to the stat. You have taken a
macroeconomics course, dipshit.

Nice try, hump. I gave you the type of stats you're going to need to

you're full of shit.

Right, that's what they use them for. Exports like oil. Yep, China is
just shipping all that money right back to the good ol' U.S. of A.

No doubt about it, this nation is certainly one of China's most
important suppliers of imported goods. Okay, I'm good.

Wow, it is just amazing how well everyone's friends are doing, isn't
it? Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, Walmart. Every American a corporate
American, marching together toward a better, more secure future. For
China, at least.

Not in property values or rents. They've gone up pretty damn high in

What group are you, gamer, and the other guy "debating" with this oaf
posting from? I don't have the time or motivation to refute Usenet
morons like I used to, but you guys are citing things left and right
and beating him down without mercy. It's classic.

$10 an hour won't even pay rent in many places, like Chicago, once you
factor in other living expenses. It's a lot better than the $5.15/hour
minimum wage for sure, but I wouldn't call living on Wal-Mart wages
comfortable. Contrast this to manufacturing jobs, many of them skilled
trades, where people in many shops (like the one I currently work in)
make on average 20+ an hour and are in unions and don't have to pay for
healthcare.

At least one hopes they are. The reason people cite government data on
the economy is because there's really no other place to find those
stats. It can't be because government has a reputation for being
honest.

To be fair, government incompetence didn't start with Bush and it won't
end with Bush. Bush just happens to be more blatantly incompetent than
the vast majority of presidents.

So your point is there are better paying jobs than working at Wal Mart?
I think we can agree on that much.

Compared to 1950?

Think about the size of the average house in 1950. Think about the
contents of that house. How many cars did people own? How many TV's?
What kind of clothes did they wear and how often did they replace them?
How many people in a typical household had jobs? What did the jobs pay
and how did the basic costs of living break down with respect to that?

I think I could do this:

A 1200 square foot house.
A four-year-old basic sedan.
A basic consumer model television (with a roof-mounted antenna)
Two pairs of jeans. Five casual shirts.
Five work uniforms.
Two or three meals a day cooked at home.
One restaurant trip per month. Maybe one more for very special
occasions.

.... on a single income of let's say, $30,000 a year.


But people aren't really striving for *that* standard of living. They
want *much* more than that, and when it turns out to be more expensive
than what previous generations sought, they claim it is due to factors
other than the price of their consumption.

I believe in just one of what may be called conspiracy theories. I
believe the deficit psending we have seen under EVERY Republican
president going back to Nixon is intentional. It is a backdoor means
of reducing domestic spending as more and more of the budget must be
turned to debt service. It is politic.

I happen to think that Slick leaves him for dead in most areas.

The main exception what doing fuck all about terrorism,
just firing a few missiles into where bin Laden might have
been after he had blown various things up.

I dont even support the invasion of Iraq, but thats because
the stupid Iraqis are so stupid that they are only interested in
ripping each other's throats out once Saddam ended up in jail.

Afghanistan is just as bad.

May I call your attention to these facts, please?

- Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction at all when the U.S.
attacked Iraq this war.

- Saddam had no contacts to terrorists beside his own "government" (aka
the Iraqi Mafia) at all.

- Not a single of the "proofs" for the opposite of the two above facts
shown by Bush's government before the war did hold out against examination.

> We should immediately surrender and convert to Islam.

- The Islam is not a religion of terrorists; most Islamic people are no
terrorists at all. Islam is the second-largest religion in the world,
counting more than 1.3 billion believers.

- Ca. 2% of U.S. citizens are Islamic, that means round about 5,900,000
U.S. citizens. Round about 20,000 Islamic people are serving in the
U.S. military.

(source for both:
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Oct2001/n10042001_200110043. html )

- There are huge nations, which are called friends even from Bush's
government, which mainly have Islamic citizens. Bush has a very close
friendship to Saudi Arabia, for example, with more than 99% Islamic
citizens.

Yes, and George "heckova job, Brownie" Bush seems to be the least
embarrasssed about it. I don't expect perfection in government. I expect
reasonable, defensible attempts to keep corruption down and competence
up. I also expect taxpayers to be outraged when there is high corruption
and low competence, no matter which party the fools destroying the
government claim to be part of. The failure of the center has allowed
corruption and incompetence to get worse.

Son, it's not a good idea for you to lie in the Age of Google. Several
posters on this thread alone have pointed out that you are a lying sack

Blah........

I see that you still have yet to provide a single source to back up
your claims about how Bush's economy is "better" than Clinton's. Your
anecdotes mean nothing, boy. Give us evidence.

It's put up or shut up time, hump.

They've claimed it. Strangely enough, none of them are willing
to point out a "lie". They sing the same petulant song, like
children in playground, as I expect of them - and you. Use
your wondrous powers of Google, Chris - quote a lie. Not
an opinion you disagree with, a *lie*. Put up or shut up, child.

ROTFLMAO!! You are one stupid rightard. Your concession is noted.
Thanks for showing us that you have no idea what you are talking about.

www.investorwords.com/602/budget_surplus.html

"Budget Surplus Definition

The amount by which a government's, company's, or individual's income
exceeds its spending over a particular period of time."

www.investorwords.com/1313/debt.html

"Debt Definition

An amount owed to a person or organization for funds borrowed."

If you are going to converse with intelligent folks, I suggest that you
learn to use universally accepted terminology instead of just making
shit up as you go along. Learn the difference between an income
statement and a balance sheet. Learn what a budget is and that a budget
projects either a deficit or a surplus over a period of time. Learn
that an income statement shows an actual deficit (loss) or surplus
(profit) over a period of time. Learn that a balance sheet shows assets
and liabilities.

Go to this link and have a look at the title of Table 1.

www.cbo.gov/budget/historical.pdf

It's "Revenues, Outlays, Deficits, Surpluses, and Debt Held by the
Public." See that Surpluses is different that Debt Held by the Public.

When you can converse even semi-intelligently, come back. Until then,
continue using your gibberish. Maybe you can find someone at the
trailer park to gibber with.

ROTFLMAO!!! You are one very stupid rightard. It's no wonder that you
have such a hard time figuring out what is going on in the world.

usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa101500b.htm

"What's the difference between the national debt and the federal deficit?

The federal deficit is the difference between what the government takes
in from taxes and other sources and what it spends annually.

Imagine you made $40,000 in a year, but had $50,000 in expenses. You
would have a $10,000 deficit. You would need to borrow $10,000 to make
up the difference.

For many years, that's exactly what happened. The government took in
less than it spent and had to borrow the difference. This was called
"deficit spending."

....

The national debt can be thought of as the accumulated debt the
government owes from all those years of borrowing money to pay off the
annual deficits. It is the total off all money owed to individuals,
corporations, state or local governments, foreign governments, and other
entities outside of the United States Government. The national debt is
also often called the public debt, because most of the money is owed to
the public.

....

For the last few years, the government has not practiced deficit
spending. That is, the government has been taking in more from taxes
than it has been spending. As a result, the government has money left
over -- a budget SURPLUS."


Until you can use universally accepted terminology, why don't you
confine your conversations to your neighbors at the trailer park? I'm
sure that you can find someone there to gibber with.

Geezeeeee! Where do these right wing ninnies come from anyway?

The Bureau of the Public Debt website allows one to see
all real deficits back to WWII. Buh sinrecent years was
averaging $531 billion a year, compared to Clinton's $174 billion.

It gets worse if one corrects for inflation.
Then only Bush's Daddy comes close.

Hey, dumbass. You don't get to arbitrarily change the meaning of
universally accepted terminology. The words "DEFICIT" and "SURPLUS"
refer to the yearly operations of the government. We had SURPLUSES in
1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001.

No one has said differently.

The claim was that there were several surpluses in the Clinton years
which enabled a significant decrease in the debt.

GW has consistently spent more than he's raised, reversing that trend -
resulting in a historical, ever increasing level of debt.

Is that too difficult to understand?


If not - Hint - there can be an annual surplus, but still have overall
debt. GW's policies have increased debt every year with the promise of
many more years of deficit spending.

The "National Debt" is tiny compared to the Consumer Debt. They don't
want us to look too closely at the fact that we don't actually own our
houses, our cars, even our clothes and food, some of us.

The surplus is effectively the annual 'profit' on the budget, i.e. the
government has spent less in the year than it received in revenues. It's
perfectly possible for this to happen while in debt, just as a business
can be profitable on an annual basis (revenues>expenditures) while still
owing money to the bank.

SURPLUSES in 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001. Debt is what is accumulated by
running deficits. SURPLUSES reduce debt.

Nobody said a "surplus of funds," asswipe. We said that Clinton's 1998,
1999, 2000, and 2001 operations showed surpluses instead of deficits.
You are one stupid rightard asshole.

Really?

It appears that everyone else, including the U.S. government says that
you are incredibly stupid.


usgovinfo.about.com/library/weekly/aa101500b.htm

"What's the difference between the national debt and the federal deficit?

The federal deficit is the difference between what the government takes
in from taxes and other sources and what it spends annually.

Imagine you made $40,000 in a year, but had $50,000 in expenses. You
would have a $10,000 deficit. You would need to borrow $10,000 to make
up the difference.

For many years, that's exactly what happened. The government took in
less than it spent and had to borrow the difference. This was called
"deficit spending."

....

The national debt can be thought of as the accumulated debt the
government owes from all those years of borrowing money to pay off the
annual deficits. It is the total off all money owed to individuals,
corporations, state or local governments, foreign governments, and other
entities outside of the United States Government. The national debt is
also often called the public debt, because most of the money is owed to
the public.

....

For the last few years, the government has not practiced deficit
spending. That is, the government has been taking in more from taxes
than it has been spending. As a result, the government has money left
over -- a budget SURPLUS."

It has been pointed out to you that, when the claim was made that
Clinton had surpluses, they were surpluses by virtue of the
UNIVERSALLY accepted definition of a budget surplus: tax revenues
exceeded outlays.

"Freedom costs?" Now, that's pathetic.
Name one thing Bush has done to buy freedom.
Hint: USA PATRIOT, illegal surveillance, torture, detention without
due process and lying to congress are counter-examples.

Dear God.
Things are not as you describe them. For the umpteenth time, your boy
Bush said the surplus would pay for his tax giveaway. Gore campaigned
on a pledge to use the surplus to buy down debt.

But every one of the perpetrators of the attacks that happened on
Clinton's watch were brought to book. Not one of the perpetrators of
the attacks that happened on Bush's watch have been punished.
The war in Iraq has not one thing to do with national security -
nothing, nihil. The tax giveaways - the chief cause for the
skyrocketing deficits - had nothing to do with national security.
How can you possibly believe what you posted?

In foreign countries. Maybe. Why doesn't someone as worldly-wise and hip
to business trends as you claim to be; why doesn't someone like that
know that overall corporate cash stockpiles have grown immensely since
Bush took office?

The words, "calcified". "sclerotic", "fossilized old phony" come to mind.

VC "types"? What's that?

Oh, you mean LENDERS. Yeah, banks and that "type" sure needed those tax
breaks that are about to bankrupt America. Those types were all about to
go broke.

That is incorrect. All the suspects have been either imprisoned or
executed, including those from the USS Stark attack.

Let's list his accomplishments, shall we:

World Trade Center lost to terrorists who remain free

Ill-conceived, unnecessary military invasion and subsequent extravagant
occupation

Media gagged

Rubber stamp Congress cowering, effete, worthless, despicably corrupt

Civil liberties restricted, if not revoked entirely

Travel restricted in ridiculous, effete manner

Real and present threats overlooked

Prisoners held indefinitely without evidence, tortured, denied
representation

Intelligence agents betrayed

Calls the Constitution of the United States "a goddamned piece of paper".

Americans investigated without warrant

Americans wiretapped without warrant

Americans left to fend for themselves following national disaster

Alienated strategic allies

Divided Americans, perhaps irrevocably

Shriveled the middle class

Removed worker protections

Killed thousands of Iraqis in pursuit of... what, exactly?

I bet you think child molesters have balls, too.

Apparently you follow the typical Bush camp confusing fighting
terrorism with the invasion into Iraq. GW had essentially full US
support to invade Afghanistan and track down the 9/11 and other terrorists.

Instead, GW & crew chose to spin the facts and invade Iraq for its oil &
to up daddy by overthrowing Saddam. (GW's been such a failure all his
life that he spotted a way to finally up daddy - essentially a pathetic
greek tragedy.) Along the way he squandered taxes for years to come &
caused the deaths of thousands of US (and tens of thousands of other)
lives - leaving the military stretched to point of being unable to
adequate control Iraq or keep terrorists in check..

GW Sr knew it was an impossible invasion even when he had every good
reason to invade them.

Baby George obviously had no concept of the consequences - completely
ignoring many of his advisors (firing those who did not back his
plans). Cheney / Rumsfield pushed him on with the false belief that
the US would be viewed as Iraq's savior and how their oil would pay all
the bills.

Instead, the power is moving towards the Shiites who hate the US & will
likely side with Iran once the US leaves - resulting in even more
problems for peace.

Get a clue - the world has become more dangerous as a result of the GW
ignorance / policies - certainly not better.

Maybe you should learn what deficit, debt and surplus mean before youy
try to deride what has been shown to you.

The simple fact is that deficit and surplus are used in a closed
system describing one budgetary year. When spending is greater than
intake in one given year you have a deficit budget and it increases
the debt, something that Bush has done at a rate of something better
than all the rest of the US presidents combined.

When intake is more than spending, then you have a surplus budget, and
the debt is decreased. Something Clinton managed in some of the years
he was president.

No matter how you slice it deficit and surplus are different terms and
are not directly related to debt.

but apparently economics isn't your strong suit as your support for
Bush shows. The man is a buffoon, and will likely been seen for
generations as the man that put the USA into receivership for your
grandkids.

No one is game playing except you, surplus is a term describing an
annual budget, nothing more. It has no direct relation to the debt,
other than it may be used to reduce the debt at the end of the year.

In fact, Bush is the first president to make us less secure.
Iraq is now a fertile recruiting ground for al Qa'ida. Iraq itself

The stock market alone added more than $1 trillion to US wealth. And
that's to say nothing of rising real wages (they have fallen every
year Bush has been in office).
The country may still have been in debt, but Clinton is the only
president going back to Reagan to reduce debt, instead of making it
skyrocket.
You cannot name a single scandal in which malfeasance was proven
against a Clinton administration official. And that's despite the
best efforts of a horde of partisan hacks to get sometning -
anything - on Clinton.

Real wages have declined every year Bush has been in office. Every
year.
Unemployment is back to 5%.
Public and private debt are spiraling. They were shrinking under
Clinton.
As for "everything I've seen," I'll take that to mean you know better
than to claim any success in the putative war on terror.

This was the same Bush that when told of the impending 9/11
highjackings that the aide had done his cover your ass thing and that
he could leave.

This is the same administration that cut Homeland Security funding to
NY, the same one that doesn't classify the Empire State Buildng or the
Statue of liberty as terrorist targets, but some petting zoo in
Illinois is.

This is the same Bush administration that is cutting funding to oh,
just about everything as they lower taxes on the ultra-rich.

The only thing that Bush protects is the richest americans pocketbook.

Actually, you're wrong.

I hae loans on my cars, I have a budget with which I pay them down.
The cars are my debt, I have more than enough to cover my payments
each month, I therefore have a surplus in my monthly budget. If I
didn't have enough, I would have a deficit budget.

Please try to understand the basic economic principle of budget and
the terms associated with that, and debt and what it means.

I could make it more complicated, but I won't try to teach you the
basic tenets of both holding debt, and holding gross assets. That
would definitely be over your second grade grasp of economics (almost
as good as Bush's BTW)

With your lacking terminology in basic economics, you wouldn't know

(Here's a hint, most successful businesses are profitable and carry
debt, something you can't understand)

Your argument seems to be that even though the Republicans are truly the
evil ones, we should pick on Democrats because we should.

I see you've got all your Democratic Underwear talking points down pat.
Too bad they reflect reality about as well as a mud puddle.

The "cut" in funding still represents a large increase.

And yes, I agree, earmarks for things like petting zoos are a problem,
and how that got stuck into a Homeland Security bill is anybody's guess.

Irrelevant - a loss in median inflation adjusted wage hasn't happened
in 50+ years.

Then again, you don't understand the difference between annual surpluses
and ongoing debt, so it easy to understand how easily confusing it is
for you.

So the loss in median wages, loss in pensions / health care benefits
caused by Bush's policies are really due to Clinton?

When you approach a stop sign, do you wait for someone to display a go
sign?

Again, you fail to back up your accusation.
Why would that be? Is it possible that your accusation
is a, what's the word, "lie"?

> You realize Google archives this stuff, right?

Years and years of it. Since I'm a "lying sack of crap",
you should have no trouble finding an example or two.
Not of an opinion you disagree with, but of a *lie*.
It looks worse for you each time you prattle on about
how easy it is to call up Google archives and prove your
point, but repeatedly fail to actually take that tiny step
of doing so.

Put up or shut up, child.

You rightwingers need to get a new bag of tricks.
The old evasions are so shopworn, a child could see through them.
To try once more; in what way was Saddam a threat to the US? Which
"non-Muslim" countries (as if Muslim countries were unworthy of our
regard!) do you "think" he threatened, and in what way?
Here's a hint; you're going to have to do better than the 'it's not a

Practically every industrialised nation has been in debt since the 17th/18th
century when they started issuing bonds and other financial instruments in
order to pay for wars etc

During the 19th Century Great Britain was the only world power to reduce its
national debt.

see

http://uk.encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761562370/Debt_Nation al.html


This is not seen as a problem so long as the country can readily finance this
debt. But since the main source of money for financing of this debt comes
through taxation increasing budget deficits must eventually result in higher
taxes and/or slashing of public spending (though of course one administration
may leave this problem for future administrations).


In the eurozone in Europe the EU stability pact tried to restrict deficits to
3% of gross domestic product but several countries have had trouble keeping
within those limits.

He waits for the stop sign to change from red to green and from "STOP"

It's likely he ignores it, thinking the sign needs to tell him what to
stop.

You haven't spoken to the point. One more time: How was Iraq a threat
to the US or any "non-Muslim" countries?
If you're going to evade the question, I suggest you concede
gracefully instead of behaving like a petulant child.

Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously when you post
fulminate of bullshit like: "I don't believe most of the people here
understand all the corruption that goes on in the world/UN and how it
causes many people to be forced down into living standards that a Dog
would have trouble with..."
Similar examples abound.
If you want to communicate a point of view, you ought to get one.
If you want to make your spavined opinions out to be something more
exalted than maundering lamely, you'll get precisely what you've been
getting from ALL the respondents to your posts.

The problem is that you are arguing a premise that any basic economics
book will tell you is wrong, the concepts of debt, deficit and surplus
are well defined. If you quit trying to redefine the defined then one
might have a productive talk.

The bottom line is that in the past 25 odd years, only Clinton has
managed to decrease the debt, and Bush has increased the debt faster
than any other president in history.

No e-mail.
You are yet to reply substantively to any respondent.
As for your claim that, given facts you haven't considered you'd
change your views, I submit that at least five other posters pointed
out to you that "surplus" has a universally accepted definition, two
of them even showing you accepted definitions, and you just kept
mumbling about debt.
That is why no-one believed that claim.

You still haven't shown me where Pelosi said that Democrats are working
against America for their own political gain. That is what I am calling
you on. That is the false statement that you have made.

So, absent a proper reference from you, we'll stick with the hypothesis
that you are just spreading BS because the evidence is against you.

It is a fact that, by the universally-accepted definition of
"surplus," Bill Clinton produced three, in successive years beginning
in 1998.
So, you claimed to be persuaded by facts, yet you persist in
preferring your belief to that fact.
That says all that need be said about your cred.

She saved your heinie.
You're just too partisan to see it.
I suppose I'll regret this but let me ask; how do you think borrowing
$2 trillion, then cutting off those who need SS most, would have
"saved" Social Security?

There's an interesting chapter on Pelosi, among others, in Do As I Say

The Irishman in me wants to agree with you -- and most Muslims would
agree as well -- because instinctively, I suggest that all debt is "bad."

But in reality it is not that simple, and it's a great deal more
complicated than merely dismissing it as "smoke and mirrors" would suggest.

Bush apologists don't think. They were also conned into believing that
borrowing money for 'tax cuts' makes the cuts real. People engaged in
the real world realize that deficit spending is merely deferred tax
collection.

I lost 3 jobs due to layoffs. I am told that another company I recently
left just laid people off last month.

All on Bush's watch. Not Clinton's.

So was Bush. 9/11 happened on his watch, and if we're talking body
count, I think it beats all other attacks in recent years combined.

So what you are saying is that the recover to the US economy during the

This is the opposite of reality. Actual studies done of highly
intelligent people reveal that they are better off in almost every
way. They are better adjusted, happier, wealthier, have better jobs,
etc. The folk myths about highly intelligent people are mostly a
matter of sour grapes, and don't fit reality at all.

Ah, so its a selective outcome.


Hint - the past has little to do with business decisions. Layoffs,
expansions, investments, etc are typically based on future
expectations. All started a downhill trend almost to the day GW was
elected.
Business / investors obviously were (and have since been) quite fearful
of GW. It's obvious (to most) that it's been a tough 6+ years for
most of the US economy - generally believed to be the worst in 50+
years. Since there's been no significant improvement, it's obvious that
a majority have a continued lack of confidence in GW's ability to lead
(and with hind site, they have evidently been quite justified in their
pessimism).

Of course, there will always be a few in denial.

You keep making broad, sweeping, generalizations on this and, more importantly,
on the government and politics, based on your relatively small circle of friends
and acquaintances.

You just don't "get it,", do you?

I remember plants closing an "American" cars made in Mexico during the

So, then Bush is not responsible for this economy, which you say is
booming?

You never say anything.
Deal with the facts. Real wages grew under Clinton. They're
shrinking under Bush. Clinton shrunk unemployment to under 4%, Bush
has averaged over 5%.
Current account deficits and federal budget deficits are increasing at
unprecedented rates, so debt is soaring as interest rates rise.
Bush's record on the economy is shameful.

You have been shown repeatedly that, not only did Clinton have an
anti-terror program in place, but Bush dismantled it and replaced it
with nothing when he took office. It's hardly a quantum leap in logic
to conclude that Bush's mistake was taken by the 911 plotters as a
green light.

If the studies are accurate, what does that say about you? You seem to be
totally ill-adjusted, are not at all happy, are penurious, definitely only
have rubbish jobs, etc. So perhaps you aspire to being average?

Thank you!

A good number of his views on economics/politics/government, have been
based on the experiences of his friend's mother's hairdresser's son's
best-friend's uncle's paperboy, etc.

It's good to see that SOMEONE "gets it!"

Personally, I don't think Big Bush was bad, at all.

Little Bush, on the other hand, has been an embarrassment to all,
including, I would imagine, Big Bush.

Before that whiff I thought you were sincere.
Now you're just another dishonest partisan loser.
I have read it.
I agree with Pelosi pretty much right down the line, and her policies
seem to me much more rational, humane and disposed to success than
anything the present administration has ever done.
Since you can't put your finger on what's wrong with her ideas, I feel
altogether vindicated in those views. After all, no-one opposes them
on rational grounds.

That is simply untrue.
You have never posted anything but vacuous partisan blather, and
pretentious arguments against established fact.
The worst of it is positing anecdotes against official government
statistics, but that isn't the stupidest thing you've done. That
would be your claim that "surplus" doesn't mean what ALL economists
and political scientists agree it means.
As for your whiny claims to intelligence and open-mindedness, they are
just laughable. No-one rational would make sweeping generalities from
anecdote and reflex.

The primary reason Clinton was able to pay down (significantly reduce)
the national debt is from all the taxes generated by the job growth.

In a similar manner, the debt has grown significantly under GW because
there has been no significant growth in jobs or wages. (Business has
been unwilling to invest / expand with such a gloomy future under Bush
leadership.)

GW's second biggest mistake was to spin his tax rebates as a way to help
the economy. Rather than returning that money to the lower and middle
class who would immediately spend the rebates (stirring demand), most
went to the wealthy who simply paid down debt and to some extent,
purchased foreign goods (international travel, imported wines, etc) with
the result of having minimum (if any) positive effect on the economy
while significantly increasing the debt (adversely affecting the economy).

Bush obviously received D's in his economics courses.

Without a doubt, their biggest mistake was allowing the election of
GWB. It's been straight downhill for most, ever since.

Advances in technology (such as global telecommunications and
transportation) together with advances in the education quality in
certain countries, plus the desire for people in those countries to
compete in a global marketplace, have contributed more to the situation
than any politics.

Fortunately, job growth in the Clinton years offset that loss of the
jobs. Under Bush, business has been too pessimistic about the future
to commit to investments / expansions. With GW's poor performance,
it's been hard to have any level of optimism.


This will likely start to change in about 2-3 years as business /
investors becomes more optimistic as the GW crew gets displaced.

On the other side of the wall, you don't provide any basis for your

The handful of smart people you know are far less useful as a basis
for conclusions than the large cohorts examined in controlled studies.
The latter show clearly that the myth of the maladjusted egghead has
no basis in reality. Smart kids may receive a small amount of heat in
school, but life as a whole is not a third-grade classroom, and those
same smart kids go on to bigger and better things than their more
average peers. Indeed, most people in important positions in society
are of above-average intelligence.

It is the single most important determinant of how well someone does.

You're a hoot Leythos.
"During the Clinton years it was really bad!"
Care to get a little more specific?
No. You'll say you posted the details somewhere else, a place
unnamed, of course.
By every recognized measure of econometrics, the Clinton years were
prosperous.
You tacitly admit this by speaking of them only in vague generalties
or in sweeping, jejune theories derived from questionable anecdotes.
I'll go see if we can scare up a couple of bucks to buy you a clue.

???????? Granted, some have expanded - primarily Walmart type retail
jobs and the housing sector which grew in spite of GWB - not through
any positive aspect of / by him.

Ironically, the housing sector / jobs grew due to the low interest rates
which the Federal Bank lowered because of the ongoing, poor economy /
leadership of GW.


Once again, someone has had to bail out this loser, although admittedly
not enough to offset all his failures.

Under Clinton, the job growth resulted in higher paying jobs than those
being lose - thus the overall continued average wage growth. Under
GW, it has been the complete opposite.

Except you continually claim that the Clinton Administration was all
bad, and the current administration has cleaned it up. On debt, the
exact opposite is true.
Your concept of "partisan" must be another of your mannered takes on
ordinary English usage.
There was a surplus by the ordinary defintion of that word. By the
end of his reign of error, Bush will have doubled the national debt, a

Yet, when asked, you can't seem to provide anyone with any specific
comment Pelosi made that brought you to that conclusion.
You just do your Rumpelstiltskin bit and make some vague claim about
everybody else not reading it.
That means you're a deceitful, solipsistic ignoramus, like every other
rightwinger that posts here.

Yes I can say otherwise; Bush got us into the middle of a civil war.
The number of terrorist attacks is up sharply, even ignoring those in
Iraq.
Al Qa'ida had NO presence in Iraq until 2003.
The terrorists are pinning down 130,000 US troops with a handful of
fighters.
In fact, you can't really say anything but that al Qa'ida aced Bush.

Ergo, you say that Bush has cleaned up.
In fact, we're not fighting any "war on terror," and by every
objective measure the economy is worse now than when Bush took office.

Your capacity for nonsense is apparently unfathomable.
Naturally, you're not going to post anything of substance, such as the
evidence you think links bin Laden to the Cole attack.
That's because it is, as I have just pointed out, ambiguous at best.

I'm certainly done playing your game.

You are a liar. Are you being paid to be a shill for the idiots in the
White House and Pentagon who are destroying this country or are you too
stupid to realize how much harm they are bringing to us?

Clinto was not in office. It was Bush who let it happen. It was Bush who
ignored a dangerous situation. Whether Clinton also did so is irrelevant.

I read the article and understood it, and what I see is someone who is
playing hardball politics to work against bad and damaging GOP
proposals. That is a good thing for both the people and the
government, and the exact opposite of "working against" them.

Sounds like your definition of working for the people is blindly
signing off on any crap the GOP puts forward. Perhaps a GOP-run
one-party system would be more to your liking? You can find many
examples in history of such do-it-our-way-with-no-dissent governments,
from Saddam-era Iraq to Soviet Russia to monarchies. Yeah, that
sounds like a stunningly good idea to me....

Prove it. Show me one time where Pelosi is demonstrably "working
against the people" for any reason, political gain or otherwise. Note
that promoting policies that you don't believe in isn't enough.
Trying to halt policies that you do believe isn't enough. Those would
be "disagreeing with Leythos", not "working against the people."

She works against the Administration by opposing the policies which
would damage the country. That's a good thing. And it's not about
personal gain.

You've been asked several times, by several people, for a *specific*
example of a time where she has performed some action which is
objectively (or which she believes is) against the country so that she
could have some political or personal gain.

Since you don't seem able to do this, we'll all conclude that you're
full of it.

If you weren't bright enough to figure it out, and I'm really starting to
wonder how bright you are, "eyes closed" and "disbelief" were in reference
to you, not the current situation Bush has put us in.

Y'know what? I'm outta here.

Apparently, others have bailed, as discussions with you are like talking
to the proverbial brick wall.

Time for me to join them.

A majority of the Clinton administration saw median income outpacing
inflation. In the last few years of the Clinton administration, median
male inflation-adjusted income rose above its 1973 high point. According
to US Census Bureau data that is.

Median household income in 2002 dollars decreased from $42,900 in 2001
to $42,409 in 2002.

That period had fulltime yearround workers gaining 1.4% for males, 1.8%
for females, but employment per household had to decrease in some way or
another to cause inflation-adjusted median household income to decrease.

There is a graph showing wages of fulltime yearround workers 15 years
and older, separately for men and women, from 1967 to 2002:

Earnings decreased for both men and women in 1974-1975, 1978-1981
and 1992-1995.

Earnings decreased for men with the increase for women being to small to
make the figure for all workers increase in 1973-1974, 1981-1982, and
1986-1990.

The steepest increase since 1971-1973 was in 1996-1998.

http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/p60-221.pdf

The graph of median earnings of fulltime yearround workers is Figure 3.

We had some annual surpluses in the last few fiscal years of the Clinton
administration, and all other years since some time in the 1960's we had
deficits. The ongoing debt decreased in surplus years and increased in
deficit years.

i had our jobs out sourced, computer technology. After several years
of unemployment came across consultant, and then independent
advertising.

Have you thought of owing a vitamin business? If not, here is why you
should. Get paid $1000 every time you get just 20 new people to try
our amazing vitamin. We've already paid out MILLIONS to our Independent
Advertisers!
