It's a stockpile of old damaged and contaminated chemical munitions (sealed in bunkers), a wasteland full of destroyed chemical munitions, razed structures, and unusable war-ravaged facilities, the Iraq Study Group's 2004 report concluded. The group, multiple officials said, would find the weapons militarily useless even if they were to get access to the sealed bunkers where they are stored. Officials said the group hasn't yet gained access to those bunkers. "The only people who would likely be harmed by these chemical materials would be the people who tried to use or move them," said a military official. |

President Bush: "I quit playing golf for the troops." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/13/bush-i-gave-up-golf-for-t_n_101595.html President Bush kept playing golf for 2 months after he said that. Instead of golf, he took off a lot to his ranch and chopped wood? I am sure Bush felt guilty about all the troops that were dying....and for what? He found no "Weapons of Mass Destruction" that he said was the primary reason to invade Iraq. Very sad indeed. |

Megyn Kelly Totally Owns Dick Cheney Over His Iraq Track Record
Fox News' Megyn Kelly mercilessly confronted former Vice President Dick Cheney on her Wednesday show about his track record in Iraq. After quoting Cheney's recent op-ed on the war, in which he said of President Obama, "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many," she put this scorcher of a question to him: "Time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir. You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said we would be greeted as liberators. You said the insurgency was in its last throes back in 2005, and you said that after our intervention, extremists would have to 'rethink their strategy of jihad.' Now, with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with almost 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?" "No, I just fundamentally disagree, Reagan, I mean, Megyn," Cheney replied. Fair and Balanced |

GOLF CHANNEL Former President George W. Bush says President Obama shouldn't be criticized for playing golf. In an interview with the Golf Channel, the former commander in chief said the game presents an outlet from the pressures of the job. Bush, in an interview with the Golf Channel, said too many people unfairly disapprove of how often Obama plays the game. "I see our President criticized for playing golf. I don't. I think he ought to play golf," Bush said. "I know what it's like to be in the bubble," added Bush, "I know the pressures of the job and to be able to get outside and play golf with some of your pals is important� it gives you an outlet." Obama, who has played 146 rounds of golf according to CBS News, has been chastised several times by fellow lawmakers for how often he plays. Obama's taste for the sport pale in comparison to those of other past Presidents. Former President Dwight Eisenhower reportedly played 800 rounds of the sport. |

Climate change is real...I see some posters think the cause could be volcanic eruptions. Maybe it has nothing to do with the coal and oil we burn. Maybe it's those damn volcanoes. Every few years, Mount Etna, in Sicily, blows its stack. Each big eruption sends millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Now, combine that with the output of all the other volcanic activity on the planet. Let's take the largest scientific estimate-- about 500 million tons of volcanic CO2 entering the atmosphere ever year. Sounds like a lot, right? But that's not even TWO PERCENT of the 30 billion tons of CO2 that our civilization is cranking out every year. And, funny thing, the measured increase in CO2 in the atmosphere tallies with the known amount we're dumping there by burning coal, oil and gas. Volcanic CO2 has a distinct signature-- it's slightly heavier than the kind produced by burning fossil fuels. We can tell the difference between the two when we examine them at the atomic level. It's clear that the increased CO2 in the air is not from volcanoes. What's more, the observed warming is as much as predicted from the measured increase in carbon dioxide. It's a pretty tight case. Our fingerprints are all over this one. How do you explain that the warming hasn't increased overall over the last Decade-and-a-half,regardless of the Fact that the amounts of CO2 dumped into the Atmosphere should have driven up the Temperature? 'splain that to us! Where did you get the idea that temps haven't gone up in the last 15 years? Many records have been set. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalWarming/page2.php Some of the sliding scales on some of the graphs show how and when the temperature changed. The data is from multiple overlapping sources. http://climate.nasa.gov/key_indicators http://hotair.com/archives/2011/06/12/wheres-the-warming/ Your site claims that the NASA data shows no warming but I posted the NASA sites and they say the exact opposite. I looked for links to the statements made in your site but they just go to sites that claim the same thing, not the data. Liberal and conservative scientists agree on the science. (I happen to be conservative). The big rift is in how to approach the problem and what to do about it. The liberal approach is called "carbon credits" which does nothing to reduce c02, it just transfers tons of money from countries like the US to other "poor" countries with a "cut" taken by those (like Al Gore) who happen to invest in carbon credit futures. One conservative approach is to invest in nuclear power plants to replace coal burning ones ... in a methodical way that doesn't impact the economy. The use of hybrid cars, particularly plug in hybrids, is the wave of the future and a percentage use of these vehicles (not complete replacement) will result in the US not needing to import middle eastern oil. This would be a 700 billion dollar boost to our economy, not destroy it with carbon credit payments. It also would dry up much of the funding for terrorist organizations. The major countries producing c02 are the US, China, Europe, and India. They already have nuclear technology so leading the way in electricity production is a win win situation. Putting Americans to work building nuclear power plants is a win win situation. Carbon credits employ no one. The Japanese nuclear plants that were built adjacent to the worst earthquake zone in the world and having only minimal defenses against Tsumani flooding were stupid beyond imagination. Modern designs have passive cooling and produce more fuel than they use. Ironically, coal could be passed through a nuclear plant's steam heater and broken down into many valuble products without the huge c02 problem (The NAZI's made gasoline from coal in WWII). The reason almost all scientists understand the basic science of global warming is that the science is basic. There are some slick looking websites that claim global warming is bunk, but the ones that claim to use NASA's data but don't send you to NASA's data cannot be believed. I posted NASA's data. The world is heating up. Cap and Trade (carbon credits) was originally a conservative idea. George H W Bush loved it! So did the GOP. |

Our fingerprints are all over this one. Volcanic eruptions lower the temperature not increase it. So, this entire post has zero relevance to the topic and does nothing to dispel the relationship between volcanic eruptions and the major changes in climate that follow. The Year Without a Summer, a peculiar 19th century disaster, played out during 1816 when weather in Europe and North America took a bizarre turn that resulted in widespread crop failures and even famine. The weather in 1816 was unprecedented. Spring arrived but then everything seemed to turn backward, as cold temperatures returned. The sky seemed permanently overcast. The lack of sunlight became so severe that farmers lost their crops and food shortages were reported in Ireland, France, England, and the United States. It would be more than a century before anyone understood the reason for the peculiar weather disaster: the eruption of an enormous volcano on a remote island in the Indian Ocean a year earlier had thrown enormous amounts of volcanic ash into the upper atmosphere. The dust from Mount Tambora, which had erupted in early April 1815, had shrouded the globe. And with sunlight blocked, 1816 did not have a normal summer. http://history1800s.about.com/od/crimesanddisasters/a/The-Year-Without-A-Summer.htm Evidently, you didn't understand my post. It was in response to a previous post that was speculating CO2 emissions from volcanic activity was a major contributor to climate change and the greenhouse effect. Sulfur dioxide released in volcanic eruptions has occasionally caused detectable global cooling, the carbon dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has never caused detectable global warming of the atmosphere. This is probably because the amounts of carbon dioxide released in volcanism have not been of sufficient magnitude to produce detectable global warming. Studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions indicate that present-day volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released currently by human activities. The major cause of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Human activities with the burning of fossil fuels are a major contributor, not volcanic activity. That was my point and it does have relevance. Maybe you can quote those posts because after a quick perusal I found none mentioning volcanoes raising the temperature. I did see the one that included Mt St Helens and CO2, but he made no mention of that raising temperatures. Where did you get the idea that my post said anything about volcanic activity raising temperature? Quite the opposite....my post was about volcanic activity NOT CONTRIBUTING to global warming. Please go back and read it again. You believe that CO2 is causing global warming. You typed that volcanoes contribute a certain amount of CO2 per year. Even if it is only the 2%, that is still contributing to the overall CO2 levels in which you believe are causing the problem. How can you then say they aren't contributing to the warming? I understand that you believe humans are totally to blame, so you were trying to minimize natural influences on climate. I find it rather amusing to think that there were higher levels of CO2 on earth well before any version of our species even existed. This theory that natural influences on climate should be discounted and only the miniscule data of the last 150 years plus the proxies should be considered is ridiculous. All of this is mathematically insignificant when it is taken within the 4.5 billion years the earth has existed. I guess you still don't understand my post. I will try to explain it again. Some people think volcanoes are the cause of global warming. I DO NOT. They contribute only 2% of the 30 BILLION TONS of CO2 we pump into the air burning coal, oil and gas. CO2 causes the Greenhouse Effect. And you are right, there were times in the earth's history of high CO2 levels well before humans wlaked the planet. It was an entirely different ecosystem. |

That's the guy....headed to prison for sure. Yup but under the Pinko's Obama and Holder he wont face the Death Penalty. He should NOT be tried in Federal Court and h should be held at G-Bay. Gitmo should be closed. Just ask John McCain. We try lots of terrorists in our courts. Let's do another one. |

I think it is much more important to keep your golf game up than get us involved in another war. We need to just stay the hell out of it....let them fight.

wonder now if we'll hear the Truth what actually occurred that day! The truth? Everyone already knows the truth.... On the evening of September 11, 2012, Islamic militants attacked the American consulate at Benghazi killing Ambassador Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith, Foreign Service Information Management Officer. Several hours later, in the early morning of the next day, a second assault targeted a nearby CIA annex in a different compound about one mile away, killing two CIA operatives, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty. |

(CNN) -- U.S. forces working with the FBI captured a key suspect in the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, a U.S. official told CNN Tuesday.
Libyan militia leader Ahmed abu Khattalah was captured over the weekend, the official said. His is the first arrest in connection with the attack. He is now being held in a location outside Libya, the official said. Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby confirmed Tuesday that the U.S. military and law enforcement personnel captured abu Khatallah on Sunday, and that he is in U.S. custody outside of Libya. There were no civilian casualties in the operation, and all U.S. personnel involved in the operation have safely departed Libya, Kirby said. |

"My enemy's enemy is my friend."
That's what it's called. Hey, didn't we buddy up with the Russians to fight the Germans? Who are we buddies with now? And why am I driving a Japanese truck? Didn't we nuke them a few years back? I'll be damned, this shirt I am wearing was made in Viet Nam. And I'll bet most of the crap I buy is made in China. Cwazy world... |

This does sound a wee bit paranoid. If you are so worried about the government spying and cracking down, why do you post on the internet? Don't you think they are watching these forums? Or could it be you are part of some covert op trying to lure out other unsuspecting anti government people on this forum? Hmmmmm I'm no Paul Revere, but why did he ride? Why did the Sons of Liberty dump tea in the Boston harbor? The internet is the only remaining venue not totally controlled where opinion can be voiced and shared on a global scale, and while they watch and build their case against me a few famous words come to mind..... "Give me liberty or give me death!". Being a combat vet I fought for one risking the other, for everyone to enjoy the rights guaranteed (not granted) by our Constitution. Sadly, people have lost hope, but fail to realize they have given their rights away rather than them being forced from them. So yes, you could say I am part of some covert Op.... I'm an American veteran with morals and a conscience who doesn't like what is happening to the country he loves by evil men/women in positions of power.... Those who would silence their opposition by whatever means available to them.... and being the power, they have an unequaled ability. Even the thought of that should alarm people! How does a people overcome the power of big banks, corporate power and manipulation, their sponsored media, corrupt courts, lawless statesmen, and a brainless sock-puppet leadership at the wheel? Our founding fathers were faced with that very question. The results of their decision and actions gave us our Republic and our Constitution. Do you desire to so easily allow it to be diminished to an after-thought, memory, or a subject for history books (stricken from required reading under Common Core and replaced with "Fundementals Of Islam" now) or value it enough to stand in its defense? I am only one vote, and if I sit on my hands, keeping my opinions, observations and responses to myself I become part of what I believe to be the problem rather than the solution. I don't have the answers nor do I claim to, but I don't like what my country has become, and as a former soldier sworn to it's defense, and that of the Constitution, against ALL enemies, both foreign AND DOMESTIC, I would love to see a little "civil unrest" solve the problem rather than other options possibly being required..... I do not wish violence as the only means or option to success I live in small town Arizona and am trying to figure out exactly what freedoms I have lost? This entire town is heavily armed and drink lots of whiskey that you can buy freely at any gas station or convenience market. There is a gun shop about every couple miles and more bars than you can shake a stick at. There are no gun permits required and you can carried concealed weapons anywhere except where prohibited like the county courthouse. I haven't seen any tanks, armored vehicles or black helicopters around up here in the hills but at the parades at the town square, there are more farm tractors and horses entered than carter has pills. They did install a permanent speed camera for a bit but people raised hell so they took it out. The cattle ranchers here all pay there grazing fees as most of the state is forest service, state or BLM land. The town council and mayor are just regular folks are very neighborly and like to drink. You do hear people ***** about Obamacare but then you ask them what kind of health care they have and many are on AHCCCS (that's AZ's form of medicare for the poor). Even our Governor, Jan Brewer, signed up for the fed handout to increase coverage for hundreds of thousands of poorer residents. Seems to be pretty free out here. We aint a scared of no danged terrorists and nobody seems to be all that worried about being stripped of our freedoms by the government rolling in with tanks and helicopters. I think there are many out there that feed on fear. They want people to be afraid and in a constant state of OMG! A lot of the 24 hour news cycle seems to be dedicated to keeping fear alive. Just my opinion. Stay brave.
