People, please actually understand how radioactive residue disperses from a nuclear blast before you jump on the bandwagon of falicy.

True. I've thought about this and I think RACooper might have said something about it too. I believe there are mini nukes right? And I believe there is the ability to use other large weapons that don't have radiation. If there aren't, napalm works.

PhiRuss,

meaning, radiation cloud can shift with the wind?

Over a small area, and not large enough so that if important Iraqi cities were nuked, Israel would have been effective.

I've never heard a weather man talk about how the weather in New York will effect the weather in Chicago a few days later.

Nuclear clouds, like the weather, move from west to east. This is one of the first things that you learn when you study nuclear defense policy.

I think in the initial post it was clear that it was an E-MAIL forwarded to me. I guess I wrongly figured the intro to the post would keep it on the lighter side.

Me-"This may have been posted-don't know, but if there can be a zillion anti Bush threads, this should be OK. It's an e-mail so if you want to argue with it, I'll forward responses to the guy that sent it to me! " No rolling eyes or red faced smilies. No serious intro...

Honestly, it wouldn't bother me one bit if you DID refer to Bush or Laura any way you desired.

On the "political discourse" point-
I think I recall a thread about how Laura MURDERED someone in a car accident??? Now that's real relevant.

I totally agree with you on your point of coming from BOTH sides of the Isle. Indeed it is.

I don't like this war either.


if it's any consolation, JAM, and if you are even still reading this horrifically offensive thread, i'm with you. :) now i am taking a moment to vent this:

i also believe that the media is largely liberal....ppl scream and fuss about FOX, b/c Lord knows we can't have ONE network that leans ever-so-slightly to the right when NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc all lean to the left. a lil brian williams, dan rather, etc., anyone? the same goes for GC, apparently. it's just sadly amusing to me that liberals are the ones who scream and jump and cry about ppl being open minded, but yet they can't be "open minded" about the thoughts and opinions of conservatives. yay, i love hypocrits, too! :p liberals can have all the anti-Bush threads they want, but JAM wants to make one innocent thread about Bush and this war that isn't negative (or at least isn't hateful), and then it gets warped into that. can't have conservatives say anything on the board....ppl's heads might explode. i know we all attack each other, but it seems more hostile coming from the left.....but that may only be b/c there seem to be more lefties than righties....or b/c i am a rightie....who knows? all i know is that i found the email interesting, nothing to get huffy about.

as far as this: Laura Bush did kill someone in a car accident. I think that's relevant if we're going to attack Kerry for mundane things, like marrying a rich woman or looking "Scary."-GP

ok, i read the article (in reader's digest) that you mentioned when you first brought this up (in some thread discussing kerry's wife not being American) a few months back......when you say "killed"/"murdered" as you do here (and as you have mentioned before), you make it sound like she got in a hummer with bazookas and took out after this guy. it was an ACCIDENT, as car accidents happen. she accidentally ran a stop sign that she wasn't able to see, as was reported that other ppl could not see and also ran. the ACCIDENT was labeled as such, and there ya go. so please....i ask you politely to shut up about laura bush, the murderer. and while i do believe that kerry is indeed scary looking, he also is scary, to me, for this country. i don't think this is the time for a complete change in our government.

just wanted to get that out. thanks! :D

back on topic, the email may be a little to the right (a little :) ), but it does show that this is not the first president to take some action. i don't like war, but i stand behind this one as it is about the liberation of a people so oppressed it's unfathomable. talk about oil and revenge and whatever all you want to, lefties, but this rightie believes in what this country is accomplishing. war is not pretty or easy or quick.....it takes a lot of courage and patience to take care of something that is so horrible and was going on for so long.

I feel like I have reached a saturation point regarding partisan politics. I think that many Americans and probably more than a few GCers feel the same way. There is just so much hostility about this upcoming election, and it's only June. I really don't remember it being this bad in the past.

People can blame Clinton for not catching Osama but the truth of that matter is that during Clinton's presidency we had much bigger stuff to deal with than Osama. Bin Laden was involved with the death of about 35 Americans during Clinton's time in office. Bin Laden was connected to the deaths of thousands during Bush's presidency . . . and he hasn't caught Osama yet either. Do I blame Bush for that? No . . . but you also can't blame Clinton for it. Hindsight is 20/20, but before 9/11, we had no clue that bin Laden was going to be as big as a threat as he was. There was more important stuff going on.
I'm still waiting to hear what the "much bigger stuff to deal with than Osama" was. Monica Lewinsky doesn't count, although she is much bigger stuff than most women, and even most linebackers. Why was the bombing of a U.S. warship and embassies minor and trivial, as is implied?

Much as I'd like to quote GWTW, I'll just remind JAM that passionate Democrats tend not to have any sense of humor when it comes to politics.

Besides, I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies!

I'm bowing out dear sir, but I will leave you with a quote from my favorite tv show since the favorite movie quotes are thinning out....

I don't believe in the Republican party or the Democratic party. I just believe in parties. ~Samantha Jones, Sex & the City

Now THAT'S the proper attitude about parties that SHOULD be adopted! :)
