Congress passes bill partly funding Iraq war

The new bill provides about $43 billion for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, including funds to train Iraqi and Afghan security forces.

Rephrased

THE IRAQI AND AFGAHNISTANIS will be standing and American will aim the the taget on theie brains. Strange funding???

Bush administration

This administration is so fixated on their own beliefs that they have lost touch with reality. This seems like a type of Schizophrenia where they are living in their own dream world which is reality to them. The present administration will not listen to the American people or congress. George Bush and Dick Cheney have tried to set up an oligarchy within the United States Government. The main trademark of an oligarchy is that they believe they are above the law. They’ll prostitute not only themselves but anything for the sake of oil monies. As architects of this fiasco they think themselves the only ones that can fix what quite frankly at this point cannot be fixed. We need to leave Iraq let the place heal itself (or maybe with the help of neighboring countries). Bush has not in any way, shape, or form supported our troops at any juncture of this futile ill- conceived war. George Bush and Dick Cheney are criminals and need to go. At the very least they must be taken out of power, with the possibility of criminal prosecution if investigations warrant. That’s the only way we can save face and regain some credibility and standing with the international community.

your words (Pundits and uncle toms) are very annoying and your bullshit is even more annoying. Matter of fact you are the most annoying person here and I want to beat you to a pulp you mangy coyote.

Its apparent this mangey coyote does not understand what the meaning of punit or uncle toms are. He never misses an opportunity to post his bullshit so that suggests he is anti-american, probably employed by Al-Qaeda as a propagandist for radical islam....the ignorant bastard.....

Time to re-evaluate U.S. involvement. . .

Every day there are news reports of more deaths. Why are we still there?

We see images of death and destruction on TV every night. Why are we still there?

We took this land by force. We occupied it. It causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Many of our children go there but never come back. Why are we still there?

Murderers, rapists, pedophiles and thugs enjoy celebrity status. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable.
Why are we still there?

Many of their people are uncivilized.
Why are we still there?

Their land is subject to natural disasters and we are obliged to come to their aid. Why are we still there?

They have more than 1,000 religious sects which we do not understand. Why are we still there?

Their cultures, foods and diverse ways of life are unfathomable to most ordinary Americans. Why are we still there?

They cannot secure their borders.
Why are we still there?

They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost billions more to
rebuild. Why are we still there?

It is now quite clear!








WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA NOW!!!

US admits to Afghan civilian deaths .Karzai has repeatedly asked the coalition
to avoid killing civilians [AFP]

The US-led coalition has admitted there were civilian casualties this week, but said they occurred during fighting with the Taliban in southern Afghanistan.

Witnesses to Tuesday night’s deaths in Helmand province said they were caused by an air raid and that no Taliban fighters were present. Villagers put the toll at about 40.

At the time, Nato, which is also in the country, denied any knowledge of the raid, while the US-led coaltion said it would check the reports.

On Friday, the coalition said in a statement: “There are confirmed reports of civilian casualties; however, it is unknown at this time how many..."

The statement said the coalition had treated up to 20 villagers wounded during a 16-hour battle that also involved Afghan army troops in Sangin district of Helmand province on Tuesday.

One boy died of his wounds after being evacuated by coalition troops, it said.

Afghan and coalition forces estimate a significant number of Taliban fighters, including a high-ranking commander, were killed in the battle.

Assadullah Wafa, the provincial governor, said he had no reports of Taliban casualties.

Western forces have been waging a widespread operation against Taliban fighters in Sangin in recent weeks.

Prior to the latest casualties, scores of civilians have been killed by Western forces in the past two weeks.

Discontent

With anger already rising among Afghans over the toll, Sangin’s residents have called on Hamid Karzai, the president, to come to see for himself how they have suffered.

Karzai has repeatedly urged foreign troops to avoid civilian casualties, to stop searching people’s houses, and to co-ordinate attacks with his government.

Last week, Karzai said the patience of Afghans was running out.

On Tuesday, a US military commander apologised for the deaths of 19 civilians, killed by US troops in eastern Afghanistan in March.

Billionaire yacht owner defends Sarkozy stay
Fri May 11, 2007 7:30AM EDT
By Anna Willard

PARIS (Reuters) - The billionaire French businessman who lent his yacht to Nicolas Sarkozy on Friday rejected accusations that his close relationship with the future president could lead to special favors for his companies.

After Sunday’s election, Sarkozy went for a short break on a 70-meter luxury cruiser belonging to Vincent Bollore, the largest shareholder in advertising group Havas who also has stakes in a web of financial and industrial firms.

Opposition leaders said it showed the president-elect was out of touch with normal people and too close to big business.

Bollore said he did not expect his group to win favorable treatment in exchange for the free trip.

“Just because you are friends with somebody, it doesn’t mean there are no ethics in the relationship," he said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper published on Friday.

Bollore has said his group had no commercial ties with the French state, but Le Monde newspaper cited official documents showing that his firms had several state contracts, including one for the delivery of diplomatic documents.

It also listed a 342,329 euro ($461,200) contract won by the Bollore group for work at police headquarters in the city of Grenoble, awarded in December 2006 by the interior ministry when Nicolas Sarkozy was the minister.

Bollore told Le Parisien on Friday: “We are a French group par excellence which is totally independent from the state. We have no contract with public power."

He said Leon Blum, the first Socialist prime minister of France, spent time in a Bollore manor after World War Two.

Although Sarkozy’s 48-hour holiday made a big splash in the press, an opinion poll published on Thursday showed 58 percent of people did not find the trip shocking.

Sarkozy himself was unapologetic, saying the break came after a long election campaign and cost taxpayers nothing.

However, some commentators questioned the wisdom of the holiday and said it was likely to influence decision-making.

“Knowing the sectors of activity of the Bollore group, in particular, communication/media and energy distribution, you wonder how Nicolas Sarkozy could have an independent political programme," wrote the left-leaning Liberation daily.

But tycoon and former Socialist supporter Bernard Tapie also jumped to Sarkozy’s defense.

“He’s not president yet...It’s like his 'last hurrah'. It’s a totally private affair," said Tapie, former boss of Olympique Marseille soccer team.

He also said that among the critics “three-quarters of them have spent time not so long ago on my yacht 'Phocea', and at the time, they didn’t find that vulgar or out of place," he said.

Tapie earned fame and fortune by rescuing troubled companies in the 1970s and 1980s and was a Socialist minister for a while, but his career descended into disgrace in 1997 after he was convicted over a soccer match-fixing scandal and tax fraud.

More illogic from the nimrod that suggests we go back to Logic 101. Try proving anything you wrote here, little boy. It is NOTHING but opinion, and unsupported opinion at that.

Stop giving your opinion as if it were proven fact. It isn’t and that is why everyone laughs at you and your inane posts.

Remember Ken Lay!

Remember how he used the ENRON JET, to fly the Bush 'People' around during the 2000 campaign and the flying of rioter to Florida, so the the Courts in Florida were delayed and framented, thus allowing the Surpreme Court to Jump in!?

Get a freaking life guys.
