In fact, the life of all of mankind is in danger because of the global
warming
resulting to a large degree from the emissions of the factories of the major
corporations, yet despite that, the representative of these corporations in
the
White House insists on not observing the Kyoto accord, with the knowledge
that
the statistic speaks of the death and displacement of the millions of human
beings because of that, especially in Africa. This greatest of plagues and
most
dangerous of threats to the lives of humans is taking place in an
accelerating
fashion as the world is being dominated by the democratic system, which
confirms
its massive failure to protect humans and their interests from the greed and
avarice
of the major corporations and their representatives.

If I had been President 6 years ago, his sand pit would have reached
about a million degrees and would be a glassed in crater about now.

Same with Syria, Iran and part of Iraq.

Iran is going to give us the chance to test some of the newer weapons; small
yield, very precise, easily delivered.

If we don't do it, the Israeli's will.

If Clinton hadn't been using the "attacks" against Bin Laden to cover up his
numerous scandals, which included banging the office help, he could have
greased the bastard numerous times, instead he just kicked that can down the
street into the next administration, which his lack of action and infidelity
assured would be republican.

Still blaming Clinton for the past 7 years of Bush's mistakes?  That
would be hilarious if it weren't pitifully sad.

Fortunately for you, you'll have a new Clinton to start blaming pretty
soon, before even your best buddies get sick of your blaming poor Bill
everytime you get constipated.

Still, you have to admit that Ignorant Infidel Scott stopped at

You know the world is a rather large place, right?

We THINK he's in a border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It'd be cool if wecould just go in direclty and look for them. Of course,
that would be violating their national sovreignty.
Got a UN resolution we could use as justification? What's your stance on our
invasion of Iraq again?
If we can't go into the area to look, its kind of hard to look for him, eh?
Of course he could be elsewhere though.

Took 15 years to find Eichmann,
Carlos the Jackal was arrested in 1994 - 19 years or so after his
terroristacts of 1975.
Even within this country, it took 5 years or so to find Eric Rudolph.

These things take time, John.

Why do you even answer or quote a dirty, cheap shot throwing cocksucker like

He and his aint gonna do anything but sit on their a.ses and degrade those
he likes to fell that are less intelligent, those that that freed him and
his, by better men that he will ever be, and bitch and troll for some
reaction. Makes him feel all smart and sh.t.

There is a reason he trolls and bitches all the time, with every post, about
America and Americans.

And it aint because he has the smallest shred of respect for the freedom he
enjoys.

It's because he is a coward and resents feeling like one.

Never did, never done, and never will.

Has to depend on on people who have and will for the freedom he has to be an
a.shole.

I wonder if Bush has Bin Laden killfiled, after Bin Laden keeps on
sending "nya, nya, you can't get me" e-mails to Bush with sinister

That would depend upon how diligent you were in doing the killfiling RIGHT.

Not by anyone who matters.  He regularly dove with rec.scubans and
engaged in hearty debate and exuberant wagers, back in the good old
days when rec.scuba was something more than just a shadow of its
former self.  If you look at it from a Japanese point of view, he died

It would seem that he was killfiled quite well.  We haven't heard anything
from him in quite awhile, right?

Twice at least.  I believe he dove with Ben and MHK.  He would have
dove with me, but I flaked out.  In any case, that's a lot more than
many other rec.scubans have accomplished.  Heck, some rec.scubans
apparently don't even dive.

You should have filed a claim in probate court.  It's probably too
late to collect now.

I almost did recently, after a particular juicy shooting, but then I
remembered how you disapprove of gun threads and kept myself in check.

 Once.

 He didn't dive with Ken, and, IIRC Ken's trip report, barely said hello to
him.

 As I remember, they were on a multi-boat club dive, and The Sheepmeister
didn't even let him on his boat.

 That's one of the many things that makes kennybenny's panging love and
devotion for him so twisted.

 He's not the first to welsh out, and won 't be the last.

 At least he had the sac to bet, unlike the Canadian Club.

I understand that you're saying that finances have been impossible in
the last two years due to the lack of Clinton, but fortunately Hillary
will be along soon to remedy that and we can finally dive together.

You really should get some mental help for those delusions of yours...
There's very few Democratic candidates who can polarize more hate
towards them than Hillary... People who might have considered
themselves middle of the road are unlikely to vote for someone so
blatantly socialist... The hard core leftists will still vote the
Democratic ticket no matter who they run... They are so brainwashed by
the leftist propaganda that they'll vote for whomever they're told to
vote for... The hard core right wingers will vote Republican because
they know what the Democrats stand for and they don't want it... The
deciding factor will be the people who are probably too stupid to have
an opinion one way or the other...

Why can't they now?  It's not like the current Administration has done
much of anything to protect us against an attack here, unless you
think the terrorists plan on smuggling in nukes hidden in their shoes.

If it does happen, we'll simply place the blame on Bush and his 8
years of inactivity on the home front, squandering all our money in
Iraq instead of fixing things back home, the same way you wackos
somehow blame Clinton for 9/11 even though it happened squarely on
Bush's watch.

"Super Pinko Lefty"?  I sort of like that.

6 people died in the attack on Clinton's watch, plus there was a bit
of reparable damage.  2,750 died in the attack on Bush's watch, and
the towers were obliterated.  Which do you think is worse?

Only 483 days more until Hillary is inaugurated.  I just sent her
another $100 today.

Don't get excited.

These idiots couldn't get that whore elected with all the vote scabbing,
lying, hanging chad, lying, lawsuits and caterwauling that defines the
Democrat party and all the rest of the bullshit they pull. Anyone who
actually thinks America will put the Klintons back in office is simply a

for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination is due largely to one
factor: her support from women.

"In the most recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, Clinton led Obama
by a 2 to 1 margin among female voters. Her 15-point lead in the poll
is entirely attributable to that margin. Clinton drew support from 51
percent of the women surveyed, compared with 24 percent who said they
supported Obama and 11 percent who said they backed former senator
John Edwards of North Carolina."

I'd call it honesty.  After all, isn't any form of government taxation
"taking things away" from the taxpayer for the common good, whether
that good is police and fire protection, military defense, or public
schools?

What victory? We got our wagon hitched to the American horse years

Well, let's see now. The first instance is a multiple homicide, an attempt

a multiple homicide, an attempt to kill many people that succeeded in
killing many people.

Speaking of obscene and billions, here's the latest Republican big
spending:

"Defense Secretary Robert Gates will ask Congress Wednesday to approve
nearly $190 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2008,
increasing initial projections by more than a third."

Nearly $190 billion more.  Too bad we're sending all that money to
Iraq and Afghanistan instead of making our own country safe.

That the first attack failed had nothing to do with Clinton or Bush senior's

The first attack didn't fail.  It killed 6 people.  By calling it a
failure, you're engaging in what some here might call "typical leftist
revisionism" and "obscene" "f.cking obscene".  My only point is that
Bush's attack was much greater than Clinton's attack which obviously
means that our nation was far safer under Clinton than under Bush.

 Then by that measure, since there were multiple attacks under Clinton,
we're much safer under Bush.

As I understand it, my countries embassies are my countries
soil, or at least exterritorial to the country they are
situated in.
That's how political asylum works.

That's all fine and dandy for international law, Geneva Convention,
and the rest, the kind of stuff our current administration likes to
scoff at, but like a lot of technicalities, it doesn't bear much
resemblance to reality.

The fact is that the embassy is just a house or compound located in a
foreign country, behind barbed wire for the protection of the
"inmates".  Said "inmates" know exactly what they might be getting
into when they volunteer for service in a foreign country.  Basically,
they've signed up for a lot more risk than the average office worker
in NYC.  Attacks on foreign embassies are commonplace.  They're
expected.  Attacks on our very own U.S. soil within our very own U.S.
borders on U.S. civilians at work in the domestic U.S. are an entirely
different ballgame.

Not really. Attacking US Citizens, because they are US Citizens is pretty
much the same no matter where it happens, in our embassies on our land, or
on someone else's land . . . or did you think cutting someone's head off
with a dull knife, on video, was somehow better because it didn't happen
here?

Actually, yes.  I do think cutting someone's head off over there with
a dull knife, on video, is somehow better because it didn't happen
here.  It happened there, by someone who left the safe and secure
borders of the U.S., to accompany an invading army on an unpopular
mission.  I think it would be worse if it happened to someone
kidnapped out of their NYC office building.

If it happens there, it's war.  If it happens here, it's terror.
Terror is worse than war because it directly targets unwary civilians.

While I agree that if it happened during a war where the war is being held,
then there's war.   However, with regard to cutting someone's head off with
a dull knife on video . .it doesn't matter where it happens, it's terror.
Lee Bell - 27 Sep 2007 12:19 GMT

Taking unarmed civilians, anywhere, and killing them is not an act of war,
it's murder. When it's done on video, but cutting their heads off with a
dull knife, and for effect, it's terrorism.

Either that, or we made a big mistake when we convicted the Nazis for
murdering Jews.

It's still war.  That's why they're called war crimes.  The Nazis were
terrible, but they weren't "terrorists".  Bush has us applying the
word "terrorist" to just about any evil-doing nowadays, very
convenient when there's an endless "war on terrorism" going on, but
semantically and practically improper.

Also, there's a difference between a journalist who travels with the
military to a foreign country during a war and a civilian sitting at
his desk back home.  Like the embassy personnel, the journalist is
volunteering to put himself in harm's way.  His violent death might be
tragic, but it's not entirely unexpected.  Terrorism is all about the
shock value, as its purpose is to instill terror.  Sure, using a knife
and doing it on video are meant to instill terror, but it's still one
side killing another during an ongoing war, just a modern way of
putting your enemies' heads on stakes.

To keep on topic, when I was diving in Chuuk, we were told that the
Japanese would capture one Chuukese islander and boil him alive so his
screams would attract the rest of the populace.  That's just about
identical to the beheading situation except that in this case the
Japanese were the invaders, not the natives.  Would you call the
Japanese terrorists, or was this just another example of military
tactics?  The U.S. has certainly been accused of torture and killing
in this and previous wars.  Is that terrorism too?

First of all, our embassies are always smack dab in the middle of our
country.  It's part of what they are.  In the case of embassies, they are
smack dab in the middle of a part of our country that is surrounded by some
other country.

Secondly,
Does the embassy belong to us?
Is the Embassy on our soil?

I know there's a difference between being attacked in the middle of their
country and being attacked in the middle of ours.  For one thing, it's a lot
easier to attack in the middle of theirs, but I'd say that you're the one
being disingenuous by claiming that those attacks don't count (not even a
little bit).
Greg Mossman - 26 Sep 2007 23:39 GMT
> Secondly,

> Is the Embassy on our soil?

Every country has its own sovereign property laws.  These can be
affected by individual treaties, group conventions, and general
international law, but it all really comes down to geography.  If they
countries go to war, how long do you thing they'll respect each
other's "property" rights in a little patch of land within the enemy's
borders?

It's merely a symbolic convenience to consider an embassy another
country's "soil".  And they've been attacked by terrorists because of
their symbolism and because they're easy targets, but they're no more
an attack on the U.S. itself than burning the flag.  A symbolic attack
like flag burning isn't really an attack.  Bringing down two buildings
in New York City is.

got nothing.

Nothing.

And you know what else?

You give nothing.

Actually it's because I don't have the mustache.  I never could grow a

I really wasn't planning on licking the feet of any men soon, real or

You'll have to explain that one again.  Few parasites pay the kind of

economy.  And I make the world a better place with my pretty pictures,

 That's your typical coherent statement.

I wouldnt cross the street to piss on his gums if his teeth were on fire.

You are truly a brave man, and I uncover my gourd.

You're just running because you heard I was dangerous.

Do you carry dive gear with you in the truck?

 Compared to who?

 I had to drive twice from Redding to Lancaster, instead of once.

 (moving boats one at a time, because they were too big to load both at
once).

Compared to someone who won't try to drink you under the table?

Why didn't you tie the boats together, load your truck on top, then
sail 'em down the coast?  Lots of good diving along the way.

I'm headed up that way myself next week, meeting my cousin for dinner
at Sea Ranch on Wednesday.  It'll be tempting to dive, but not that
tempting.

I'm out of town first week of December, otherwise here for the rest of
the year.  Local diving starts to suck after New Year's, especially if
my dry suit doesn't fit.

 It just goes to show how you have to marginalize paradigms to make your
logic fit your argument.

 How liberal.

Any set of data has to have constraints, or else the results can be
skewed and undermined.  Therefore it's necessary to throw out any data
that doesn't meet the preconditions.  American soil is taken in the
lay sense, the dirt we trod upon in our daily American lives.  It's
perfectly reasonable not to count the technicalities like embassies
and military bases located in foreign countries, though I would
include quasi-American soil like Puerto Rico and Guam.
