I have to go... enjoyed the discussion. I hope in the end, you will vote for Pres. Bush. You are from California if I remember correctly. Remember you posting on the recall threads. It would be great if Pres. Bush won California. I disagree with you. I truly believe Kerry would be much worse- especially in regards to the judiciary. Pres. Bush will not appoint activist judges...who will force the progressive agenda down our throats. Also, he will fight and win the war on terror. (If I recall from some of your posts/you are an isolationist? correct me if I am wrong). Anyway, I will read and reply to any post you make, but It won't be right away. Thanks for an interestng discussion. LOL
Ditto.
I hope you have a great day.
Shhhhhhh. They are our secret weapon.
Somebody said I was banned, if this gets on I'm OK!
Don't mind me, just a test post.
Why would you be in the first place? :-)
Nope. Just a silly comment by someone who's posted silly vanities before.
Still, it's nice to expose this kind of silliness when we can.

And the man he was running against, in a Republican primary -- a primary where the most conservatives vote -- lost!
You have perfect 20/20 hindsight. If all of this was so crystal clear, why wasn't the Republican majority attacking Clinton on matters of national security instead of his silly sexcapades? For that matter, what were Bush and the republicans doing for the first 9 months when they had the senate, the house and the presidency?
Sometimes the bad guys are smarter than you think, and more able than you thought. It took 9/11 to convince us that a 9/11 was possible. maybe we're starting to forget...
Hey I heard you were banned too...Your post is showing so you are not banned.
Hi Niki,
Thanks, you have a good day also.

My response would be the same as the Jack's as in Jack in the Box commercial about the Super Cut Fries vs "french."
"Aaaaah!" ((shrugging shoulders, dismissing the "frenchy" questioning...))
OK. Let's say some government decides to commit suicide by giving al-Qaeda a nuclear weapon to use against the United States (and word would leak out). Nuclear weapons are rather large, and emit a fair amount of radiation, making them easy to detect. Factor one eliminates the "suitcase" nuke as a possibility; factor two means that one snuck onto a cargo vessel would probably be detected. So what does al-Qaeda do? Buy an old ICBM to launch said weapon against the US mainland ? Hardly practical. More likely they'd use it against an overseas US base. All of this speculation misses the point that Islamic (and it is Islamic not "Islamist", a silly term) terrorism is partly our own creation. If every leader of al-Qaeda were killed today, something like it would emerge tomorrow. If you keep poking at a hornet's nest long enough, they are going to come out and sting you.
I'm not sure I like the call to silence dissent. Sounds a bit fascist to me.
This is something I'd like to know more about. Do we have equipment to detect nukes in all our cities? How sensitive is the equipment?
We weren't really taking it to Al Qaeda when they blew us up on 9/11, so I don't understand your point. Do you think they'll just leave us alone if we promise not to fight them?
It's not just a question of al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is not so much a disease; rather it is the rash that has come to the surface. The real "disease" is widespread loathing of the United States in the Arab world; not just for support of Israel, but for support of corrupt and brutal Arab regimes, stationing of troops in Saudi Arabia, and intervention in the Israel-Lebanon war back in 1982-1983. These acts, and no doubt others that escape me at the moment, established fertile ground from which not only al-Qaeda but also Hezbollah and other terrorist groups sprung. The firts Gulf War (desert storm) is what really lit the fuse of today's time bomb.
