The Great Hall of the Department of Justice is still sporting Muslim clothing on both the male and female statues there. We can all thank 'Burkha Boy Ashcroft' for his willing guidlines as to what is 'acceptable' art. What in the world did the Department of Justice do for the last 70 years to protect us from this?
We continue to hear that Iraq is the focal point of international terrorism. Hmmmm. The Achille Lauro was terrorized in October 1985 by Palestinians. Let's start there. Name the subsequent terrorist attacks that were conducted by Iraqis. Name one. Hmmmm. Even the United States of America has a higher score than Iraq.
This Padilla character is in SERIOUS trouble! He's a US citizen, who's been held for two years, without the benefit of the US Constitution. Now, we hear that there's all kinds of evidence against him (funny how this info is coming from the would be prosecutors) but the Federal Government is in no hurry to try this guy in a Court of Law. Perhaps the prosecutors are hoping that he'll just die of old age or a chest cold, so that they can't screw this one up like the Lee case.
The invasion and occupation of Iraq is going so well, that the Pentagon started a 'Stop Loss' program. What it means, is that US military personnel who wish to retire, or leave the military at the end of their current tour (contract) are being forced to stay in. This couldn't possibly be a result of alltime low enlistments and reenlistment could it?
Before you get your underwear in a sweaty gob over this post. Yeah, I'm a vet. 1968-1970. A Grunt! But then I didn't desert like your CinC. :S

Deserter? You must mean Clinton? Nope! He was a dodger.

Did you enlist, or were you drafted? Can you honestly tell us that had you had the choice you would have chosen to be an 11B (bushbeater) over pilot in the ANG? I'm a vet too, U.S. Army ADA. I would have traded it in a heartbeat for an opportunity like that.

For the record, just so you don't think this is a purely political stance, I don't condone the questioning of Kerry's military record either. Bush & Kerry both come from priveledged backgrounds. I prefer to judge them on their actions, not their backgrounds.

Well it says volumes about the guy that he was offended by a nude piece of ROCK! What a flippin idiot. AFAIC that particular farce is a microcosm of his career. John Ashcroft, the only politician to be defeated in an election by a dead person. Figures he would be GWB's pick for AG...
