  1. Yeah I was thinking about that Quote in my sig from Sandman. I dont think he screwed up the name of that movie, Rather I think its the name of one of his Gay Porns
  2. The Title is Definetly worthy of a response....... But I just cant think of one worthy enough
  3. I would go to the police station (with another witness, not by yourself) and put in a complaint. Its not much but if this guy gets enough complaints he will be fired. Lawyers arent really going to help it will be your word against his. As for the dude who mugged you If you have his description Give it to an officer on duty. Ask for an older officer preferrably one who has a family - they tend to be more compasionate for a woman in distress. Thats just my opinion
  4. If The Dems put Hillary up in 08 - you will never see the white house
  5. What about Dick Morris are you kidding he was part of THe "Clinton Team" for 8 years.
  6. A Kerry win would not have ruined his career. Why would you think that - He had a following before and he would have a following after. Plus he is a rabbid Dog that would have turned on Kerry when he was in the white house. Micheal Moore hates America - All of you idiots that like him well he hates you. He is talented enough to make money with his hate and Lies. If Kerry was in office he would still put out Hate America crap and you would still watch it. Farenhype 911 was made for you libs not for conservatives - We know the truth - By the way - most of the people that made that movie are Democrats
  7. You got it wrong - we could care less about Moore - He is laughing at all you libs when he goes to the bank to cash his checks.
  8. How does it feel to be on the losing side of politics? For that matter how does it feel to be on the wrong side of History?? Just curious
  9. Because Micheal Moore is better? What about Ed Koch, Rudy Gulliani , Dick Morris, Zell Miller (they are all in Farenhype 911) - You would believe Micheal Moore before you belive them? I watched both movies - Why dont you try to do the same..
  10. Just to answer your question - I hate Micheal Moore and Yes I did watch his movie and right after I poped in The movie Farenhype 911. It is a Documentary by Dick Morris - Ed Koch - Zell Miller - Ann Koulter and a few others. Did you watch that movie?? The movie exposes more then 50 lies in the Moore movie.
  11. we lost 50,000 men in vietnam - we would have to suffer the same casualty rate for about 40 years to equal that. You know what soilder comitted real atrocities during war and admitted to it? Thats Right Good old John Kerry. Oklahoma City ? I thought you guys said there was no terrorism in the Red states - oh no wait it was Micheal Moore who said " their is no terrorist threat" You guys are really stretching here - Vietnam is not Iraq.

  13. WOW - I guess the first and second WW was a cake walk - noone died there. Its a war what do you expect?
  14. I was going to say more like 100% but I like that king of your own Island Idea
  15. Boy I was Regan was alive - He would be able to handle the terrorist and the Libs with one hand
  16. Many countries in Africa are governed by the leader who is the best shot with a gun - Ethnic cleansing - Famine its crazy over there - One of the Reasons we were in Somalia during the clinton administration is because our food and aid never reaches the people, and all the libs can talk about is corrupt america - Look at this piece of crap Arafat whom the media is glorifying (I know not Africa but he is a good example of corruption) The guy dies with Billions in the bank from foriegn aid while his people are suffering. And People are worried about our companies taking advantage - what are they to do go in and deal with such regimes because they are so concerned for their people??
  17. Noone said the U.S is perfect but for now its the best this world has to offer. And what these countries (like France) that we have supported in every war because they are incapable, despise the U.S and we have citizens and media in this country that do nothing but fuel the fire of contempt
  18. You are not getting what I am saying - If those Governments did have controll over the Natural resources do you think they will be benevolent and give back to the people so the country will prosper?? Doubt it. The fat cats in those countries get their share the problem is they do not care about their people. The U.S cares more when we send aid. Rice and corn - thats what we send. Hmmmm why bother then - "let them eat cake". Its so rediculous - The U.S aid is hundreds of million of dollars and its not enough.
  19. They dont care - they just want to blame America andd Bush for everything - its all George Bushs fault. F them - They should all move to Canada or better yet Mass.
  20. What about all the aid that goes to those countries from the U.S and other countries that never makes it to the people - Please....tell me if those american companies werent there the countries of Africa would prosper. This is so rediculous - Without U.S aid do you realise the widespread famine and ethnic cleansing that would go on. Its bad enough as it is.
  21. I can sit here and show you articles all day long Too. All you guys are missing is the NY times. Here is the problem - If the U.S was involved like you would have us believe why didnt the U.N (who had a seperate investigation) pick up on it?? Or did the CIA silence them too? By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES The French bank that handled funds for the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq made tens of millions of dollars in fees and did not properly monitor transactions involving Saddam Hussein's oil sales, congressional investigators said yesterday. The New York branch of the Banque Nationale de Paris-Paribas, or BNP Paribas, was the sole bank for administering the $64 billion U.N. program and did not have adequate checks on whether money was being funneled to terrorists, a House International Relations Committee probe found. "We have uncovered what appears to be serious malfeasance on an international scale," said Rep. Henry J. Hyde, Illinois Republican and chairman of the committee. "There are indications that the bank may have been noncompliant in administering the oil-for-food program. If true, these possible banking lapses may have facilitated Saddam Hussein's manipulation and corruption of the program." Committee investigators uncovered evidence that BNP Paribas made payments without proof that goods were delivered and sanctioned payments to third parties not identified as authorized recipients, Mr. Hyde said at a hearing yesterday. Mr. Hyde said investigators think the bank "facilitated improper payments to companies that were shipping illegal goods to Iraq." Investigators estimate that the bank received more than $700 million in fees under the U.N. program that began in 1996 and ended after the ouster of Saddam in March 2003, Mr. Hyde said. "This is a lot of money, and it is reasonable to ask if BNP Paribas adequately supervised its compliance programs overseeing the administration of the oil-for-food program," he said. Mr. Hyde said problems with the oil-for-food program prompted him to introduce legislation yesterday to require greater accountability at the United Nations. "We need international institutions that are transparent, answerable to outside scrutiny and beyond reproach," he said. The bill was co-sponsored by Rep. Tom Lantos, California Democrat. The House inquiry is one of at least three congressional investigations into the oil-for-food program. In addition, the Bush administration is investigating the program, and the United Nations has started its own probe, led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Everett Schenk, the chief executive officer of BNP Paribas in North America, told the committee that the bank followed the direction of the United Nations in issuing letters of credit under the oil-for-food program. He denied that the bank improperly made payments under the program. Apart from "temporary backlogs" in administering letters of credit, the bank acted within U.S. laws and regulations, he said. However, committee investigators said that in at least one case, the bank issued three U.N.-approved payments for Al Riyahd International Flowers that instead were paid to a company known as East Star Trading Co. Ltd. "These third-party payments were an exception to BNP's procedures relating to the assignment of letter of credit proceeds," one investigator said. "BNP explained that a senior manager at BNP authorized this exception based on the request of Al Riyahd International Flowers and did so in accordance with BNP's procedures for the escrow account." Committee investigators said eight government agencies notified the French bank about "deficiencies" in handling money in the U.N. program. Four internal audits and memoranda also found problems with the bank's procedures. Mr. Hyde said some U.S. allies "did all they could to facilitate business" with Saddam's regime, and that committee investigators think Saddam used money obtained through oil sales to fund terrorists. "According to the information provided to this committee, Saddam paid $25,000 rewards to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers through the Iraqi ambassador to Jordan out of accounts in the Rafidain bank in Amman, which held kickback money Saddam demanded from suppliers to his regime," Mr. Hyde said. Mr. Lantos, the committee's ranking Democrat, said Russia and France were involved in helping the regime through commercial transactions and political support within the United Nations. He also said the State Department failed to act against illegal activities in the U.N. program. "I'm stunned at the failure of our own State Department to put a halt to Saddam's larceny," Mr. Lantos said, adding that the committee should "turn our attention as far as Moscow and Paris, and as near as Foggy Bottom." The panel investigators say Saddam was allowed to set the sale price of Iraqi oil 50 cents per barrel above market prices. That added amount was then paid back to his aides by oil purchasers and placed in banks in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The U.S. and British governments first uncovered the kickback scam in 2001 and, through a diplomatic battle at the United Nations, ended the "spot-pricing" of oil. Russia and France opposed the U.S. and British effort because both countries were making money from the illicit oil sales, the investigators said.
