QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) I just don't think they will ever learn. And, which is selfish, I don't want to ever, EVER read a post here hearing that something has happened to NUKE... And I think they will. I think a solid foundation of freedom, democracy and legitimate government will conquer terrorism. That's why they're fighting back so hard. They know if Iraq is stabilized they're screwed, just like we know if it;s not we're screwed. Democracy is screwed.

Sorry to hear that. If I hear anything I'll drop you a line. Good luck. Did they at least give you a good package?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) Nothing. Not worth it.. Steff, it's not like I want people to die, but do you realize how many of his own people he was killing? Innocent people? How many he would kill if left alone? Is 2000 American lives worth giving 25 million their first tase of freedom and maybe causing a snowball effect of peace in the middle east? In my honest opinion, yes, it is damn well worth it. And there are more Gold Star mothers that agree with me than agree with Cindy Sheehan.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) Death toll #'s...? You're saying?

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 10:14 AM) I will agree with everyone here that the administration painted themselves into a corner on making that the cornerstone issue. For me, personally, this isn't a Republican / Democrat thing. I wanted Clinton to go further with Iraq. He never did. I'm glad Bush went for it and I'm glad he's willing to finish it. I only hope we elect someone in 2008 that will agree and not just pull out for the sake of poll numbers.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 10:43 PM) what kind of a pot are you running? How is the rest of the set-up? We have a couple coffee nuts here. I think that qualifies as a personal attack. Ban him!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) I used it for a while to check the list of who was leading in posts during the day...but when the real problems with the site loading started late in the season, I stopped checking that since people told me it ate up more server time/bandwith/something than even the search feature. I'd use it again if I thought it wouldn't jam up other people. Same here. I liked seeing the all-time leaders in posts.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:40 AM) Then just say that was the reason. I have a problem with the lying. I said from the start that there were plenty of other reasons to go to war in Iraq (shooting at our planes in the no-fly zone, mass crimes against humanity, violations of numerous UN resolutions.) I said then that it is/was a gross miscalculation by the Bush administration to hark on the WMD so hard.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Nov 17, 2005 -> 09:38 AM) Or maybe he figured out the end game. You honestly think that Saddam Hussein thought he'd beat the US this time? Maybe he realized his only shot at a peaceful end to this is by offering the President what he wanted. Knowing that's what the President didn't really want. The only war Hussein could have won was the war of public opinion and I wager he knew that. And I remember there was significant debate in the intelligence community, especially ours, about the reality of those claims. From what I understand, we didn't just find a lack of WMD. We found a lack of WMD infrastructure. He probably didn't think Bush was serious. He'd been used to being threatened and nothing happening, save a few bombs from a ship in the Persian Gulf, for the past 8+ years.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT! He was SPOON FED the "HYPED" intelligence by the Bush White House. Come on, dammit, mreye. You should know that. This post has 25 views and you're the first reply. I think that's funny. If this was a Republican it would have 3 pages by now and some of those replies would be SS2K5 and yourself calling for his head. I guess we can't all be "party blind."

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 03:45 PM) Good deal, DISH TX. Coincidentally, if the right sponsor can be found I'm up for changing my town's name to Hot Sex Slave, FL. I'm sorry, but I can't afford to sponsor you.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) It took me a while going through libraries to find the songs, but I have created a Sox CD. Elk Hunt (Trevor Jones) He's A Pirate (Klaus Bedelt) Thunderstruck (AC/DC) Let's GO GO White Sox (Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers) Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye (Steam) Don't Stop Believin' (Journey) Holding out for a Hero (Bonnie Tyler) Livin' on a prayer (Bon Jovi) Let the Good Times Roll (the Cars) My Hero (Foo Fighters) Centerfield (John Foggerty) Funny Little Feeling (Rock and Roll Soldiers) Eye of the Tiger (Survivor) **The top 6 songs were the key and I just added the rest for fun. What do you think of the CD? Any suggestions?

Is there a lesson here?

I vote "None of the above" because Monty Brewster told me to.

Thanks, my eye itches now.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 07:18 AM) I would hope the people drawing up an Energy Policy would meet with oil company execs. I wonder why they lied? Because it was a secret meeting that the EPA was not invited to. My question still has not been answered: Who profits the most in all of this?

Federal Government employees? You mean like Congressmen and Senators?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 01:40 PM) Because Texas has ACTUAL Ribs for sale year round... Actual ribs... :rolly Everyone knows real men eat processed and shaped ribs.
