ihave lost all respect i have ever had for guiliani

it's times like this that it must be good to be tito

oh ... i meant like a roll ... i always eat on the go in the morning and i dont have three hands to hold both halves and my orange juice

way to spin there igloo ... you and bill o'reilly must've been seperated at birth

don't you hate it when they cut your sandwich in half?

i like the new version 5.x .. but i only install the classic skins cause the modern slows my PC down and i always keep it in the system tray

You're really just eating a quarter pound fart?

ill admit it didn't take itself seriously enough for it to be a "purist" documentary .... but I fail to see where the lies were in it. I see articles everywhere saying how it spreads lies ... but then never goes on to say what those lies are.

now ... how do we know that the audience just didn't all of a sudden get a taste in music? i mean maybe it had nothing to do with moore

dm it ... i was just about to post that

I am not going to debate the rest of the article but women were allowed to be educated during saddams rule

i'm curious ... what lies were spread because of the film f911? that little article says it's fraudulent but then never says were moore was lieing

so what r u waiting for?

(Original publication: July 10, 2004) Try to ignore, for just a moment, the vitriol that surrounds the fact that Michael Moore walks the earth and makes films. Long before "Fahrenheit 9/11," a sober and simple truth dictated the course for the world's lone superpower: The United States cannot afford, in political currency, real dollars or young lives, to rid the continents of each and every two-bit despot, no matter how deserving of ouster or worse the villain might be. That was one of the painful and unforgiving lessons of Vietnam. Where the exception is made and the call to the last resort — war — is reluctantly sounded, the American people and the world community require a bona fide nexus between the wrongful conduct and immediate and vital national interests. That principle guided our intervention in Afghanistan, where the ample and sufficient motivation was the two airplanes that struck the two towers. It was the Taliban, rulers of Afghanistan, who aided and abetted the 9/11 plotters. No one with any sense bemoans their fate. We learned anew yesterday that Iraq is not Afghanistan. The U.S. Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence, in a report that comes 511 pages and more than a year too late, blamed "group think" assumptions and conclusions that were often "overstated," "unreasonable" or "not supported by the underlying intelligence" for the erroneous contentions that there were stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in despot Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The existence of such unconventional weapons, of course, served as the guiding predicate for the U.S.-led effort to "disarm" Saddam and invade Iraq. More than a year after the March 2003 invasion, and the loss of more than 800 Americans and thousands of Iraqi lives, no such weapons have been found, and hardly anyone outside of White House pollsters clings to the notion that any will be found. The panel blamed U.S. intelligence agencies — CIA Director George Tenet announced his departure in June and officially steps down Sunday — for the faulty information, poor analysis and a "group think" dynamic that led "Intelligence Community analysts, collectors and managers to both interpret ambiguous evidence as conclusively indicative of a WMD program as well as ignore or minimize evidence that Iraq did not have active and expanding weapons of mass destruction programs." What the panel did not tell — ground it won't traverse until after the November election — is the extent to which the Bush administration might have twisted the intelligence data to support the call to war. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., the committee chairman, insisted that the findings so far showed that no political pressure from the White House produced the faulty assessment. Still, we wish voters had the full story before entering the ballot box. After a year's inquiry into the pre-war intelligence, there is no good reason why the public should have to guess about the White House's use of the data — or rely on a movie maker's cinematic indictment. Said Roberts: "In the end, what the president and Congress used to send the country to war was provided by the intelligence community, and that information was flawed. This report cries out for reform." Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., the committee vice chairman, put a finer point on it: "We in Congress would not have authorized that war with 75 votes if we knew what we know now." Hindsight will make heroes of us all. http://www.thejournalnews.com/newsroom/071004/edcia.html

hmmm ... wonder why?

good ... we don't have to worry about terrorism anymore

The South Korean foreign ministry issued a statement confirming that businessman Kim Sun-il (search) had been killed by his Al Qaeda (search)-linked kidnappers, according to Yonhap, the South Korean news agency. Al-Jazeera television reported that Kim, 33, had been beheaded, but the South Korean ministry didn't discuss the nature of his killing. Kim's body was found west of Baghdad by U.S. personnel at 5:20 p.m. Iraq time, South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Shin Bong-kil told Yonhap. The South Korean embassy in Baghdad confirmed the body was Kim's by studying an e-mailed photograph, Shin said. "It breaks our heart that we have to announce this unfortunate news," he added. Despite the grisly slaying, Seoul on Tuesday reaffirmed its plans to send 3,000 troops to Iraq, making South Korea the third-largest coalition partner there behind the United States and Britain. Amid increasing tensions over communist North Korea's nuclear program, South Koreans have been divided over the issue of sending troops out of the peninsula and to Iraq. "It's horrible. I really don't believe this," Lee Hong-sung, 56, a taxi driver, told Yonhap. "One of my sons is in the army and I don't know whether it's really good for us to send troops to Iraq." Anti-war activists planned large-scale rallies in opposition to the troop dispatch, Yonhap reported. Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt (search), coalition deputy operations chief, said the body of an Asian male was found west of Baghdad on Tuesday evening. "It appears that the body had been thrown from a vehicle," Kimmitt said in a statement. "The man had been beheaded, and the head was recovered with the body." President Bush condemned the hostage's murder as "barbaric." Al-Jazeera, an Arabic-language satellite station, first reported Kim's death, saying it had received a videotape of Kim and his captors. The tape didn't show his beheading and Al-Jazeera did not say how it got the tape or when Kim had been killed. Kim's abductors originally threatened to execute the hostage by Tuesday if South Korea didn't call off its planned deployment of about 3,000 troops to Iraq. The kidnappers then extended their execution deadline during negotiations, according to Ahmed al-Ghreiri, an employee of the NKTS security firm that had been acting as an intermediary. But his captors apparently changed their minds and decapitated Kim anyway. Kim worked for Gana General Trading Co., a South Korean company supplying the U.S. military in Iraq. Bush reacted to Kim's murder in an Oval Office photo opportunity with Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy of Hungary, a close ally in Iraq and the war on terror. Medgyessy said his country would not withdraw its troops from Iraq despite the recent killing of a Hungarian soldier there. "The free world cannot be intimidated by the brutal actions of these barbaric people," Bush said. Kim was shown on the new videotape kneeling, blindfolded and wearing an orange jumpsuit similar to those issued to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — and to those that American hostages Nicholas Berg (search) and Paul Johnson Jr. (search) wore during their own recent beheadings. The tape showed five hooded men standing behind Kim, one reading a statement and gesturing with his right hand. Another captor had a big knife slipped in his belt. One of the masked men said the message was intended for the Korean people. "This is what your hands have committed," he read. "Your army has not come here for the sake of Iraqis, but for cursed America." The Al Qaeda-linked group Monotheism and Jihad took responsibility for Kim's death, according to Al-Jazeera. After the news of Kim's death broke, South Korean television showed Kim's distraught family members weeping and rocking back and forth with grief at their home in the southeastern port city of Busan. The White House reacted with outrage. "Obviously that would be horrible news to hear," said Press Secretary Scott McClellan, who received the first news of the execution during a White House briefing. There is "simply no justification for those kinds of atrocities." On Friday, Lockheed Martin engineer Johnson, an American who'd lived in Saudi Arabia for about a decade, was beheaded by his Al Qaeda-linked captors near Riyadh. Last month, Berg was beheaded in Iraq, possibly by the hand of Al Qaeda-linked terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. And in early 2002, Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl (search) was kidnapped and beheaded in Karachi, Pakistan by Al Qaeda abductors. Earlier Tuesday, the Seoul (search) government said it would evacuate all civilians in Iraq by early July. NKTS official Kim Hyun-taek said earlier Tuesday the captors had asked to negotiate with Choi Sung-gap, president of the company, who planned to leave for Iraq as early as Wednesday afternoon. His captors had originally threatened to kill Kim if the South Korean government did not cancel its planned deployment of 3,000 troops to Iraq by early Tuesday. But the president of NKTS, which supplies the bodyguards for Jordan's royal family, said earlier Tuesday that they'd dropped that condition and put forth new demands that Seoul was willing to meet. "It is highly likely we will see a resolution because in Iraq they have a good impression about South Korea," said Choi, who made the comments to South Korean reporters on Tuesday before news of Kim's execution broke. In a dispatch from Baghdad, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted an "informed source" as saying that negotiations with the kidnappers collapsed over the South Korean government's refusal to drop its plan to send troops. "As a condition for starting negotiations for Kim's release, the kidnappers demanded that South Korea announce that it would retract its troop dispatch plan," the source was quoted as saying. "This was a condition the South Korean government could not accept. As the talks bogged down, the kidnappers apparently resorted to an extreme measure." The South Korean government said Tuesday it would evacuate the last of its 22 nationals in Iraq by early next month. Most work for South Korean companies that supply the U.S. military, said Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister Lee Hee-beom. Kim was believed to have been kidnapped about 10 days ago. A videotape broadcast by Al-Jazeera before the most recent one of him in a jumpsuit showed him pleading for his life but without a blindfold and still wearing his own clothes. "I don't want to die, I don't want to die," Kim pleaded in that first video, released by his captors Sunday as he begged his government to end its involvement in Iraq. The recent abductions and attacks appear aimed at undermining the interim Iraqi government set to take power June 30, when the U.S.-led occupation formally ends.
