You can't drill 200 miles away!

What is really stupid is that Russia and Cuba are drilling off our coast anyhow. Its not as if its empty if we don't do it.

how many "friendly fire" incidents before Pakistani soldiers just don't shoot rather than get a 500-lb JDAM up the wazoo?  JDAM bombs have robot wings and can glide to the target from up to 15 miles away.  I think all Pakistan did was ensure future raids will have air support

"niceee
quite an alliance McBush got there..."
Maybe he decided Senator Barack "I will invade Pakistan" O-bomber was right this time...

I did read and that's why I said American Europhilessss in the plural. Too many diplomats see continued discussion as the goal instead of a tool. You stick to goals. You drop a tool when it stops working.

I see absolutely no benefit to the US giving other nations a veto over our economy. WTO hinders our economy and does not eliminate foriegn socialist conspiracy against US competition, it legitimates and empowers it.

Der Speigel discerns US opinion by listening to Hillary?

Let me explain it to you. Since Russia quite rightly does not give a damn how much frowning and snubbing you do, and since the bulk of Europe are gutless cowards who live for money, Europe and American Europhiles are desperately seeking a way out. The way out is to blame Georgia for being invaded and partitioned. You are going to excuse Russia's land grab in Ossetia as a "reaction". You are going to pretend Tblisi needs Russian permission to put down revolts in its own territory. Your "investigation" would continue to condemn Georgia for everything, because Russia won't let you into South Ossetia and will tell you nothing about its own military,so you'd have nothing but a catalog of Georgian discrepancies, none of which absolves Russia of stealing land by conquest.

BTW has Russia pulled out of Poti?

This tells me Europe cannot be trusted as a partner, and should be dictated to rather than consulted.  The threat of American withdrawal from the WTO and G8 and the confiscation of European assets in the US should be our leverage.  This will be most sucessful if applied to individual EU members. Destabilization of the EU should be a prime goal of US foriegn policy. We can only expect a strong EU to be more of a Russian puppet.

The violence in Iraq is down to about 1% what it was two years ago; the Anbar Awakening is an ongoing success not a event that occurred before the Surge started; if unity = the absence of factions that participate in the nation but want a bigger share, then no nation on earth is united; the defeatist Congress set up 18 benchmarks and 15 have been met by Iraq demonstrating the political success.  Balles ignores these achievements or insists they are temporary based own his imagined future.

You go to that factcheck.org site-- which is an ANNENBERG organization, just like the one whose board Obama and terrorist Bill Ayers served together on--and here's what SB 99 says

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=09300SB0099lv&SessionID=3&GA=93&DocTypeID=SB&DocNum=0099&print=true


(a)  The   program   established  under  this  Act  shall
24    include,  but  not  be  limited  to,  the   following   major
25    educational  areas as a basis for curricula in all elementary
26    and secondary  schools  in  this  State:  human  ecology  and
27    health,   human   growth   and  development,  the  emotional,
28    psychological,    physiological,    hygienic    and    social
29    responsibilities of family life, including sexual  abstinence
30    and   prevention  of  unintended  pregnancy  until  marriage,
31    prevention and control of disease, including age  appropriate
32    instruction  in  grades  K  6 through 12 on the prevention of
33    sexually transmitted infections,  including  the  prevention,
1    transmission and spread of HIV AIDS, public and environmental
2    health,   consumer  health,  safety  education  and  disaster
3    survival, mental health and illness, personal health  habits,
4    alcohol,  drug use, and abuse including the medical and legal
5    ramifications of alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, abuse during
6    pregnancy,  sexual  abstinence   until   marriage,   tobacco,
7    nutrition, and dental health.


So what does factcheck.org say is false about this ad?

"'comprehensive sex ed' appears only once"-- IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, the topics that are to be taught to kids K-12 are named.

"instruction would be 'age-appropriate'"-IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, it is the TOPIC of STDs that is repellant, nobody imagines Kindergarteners would get slides from Gray's anatomy

"parents could opt out" -- IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, and as a practical matter kids would be taught about gonorrhea until their horrified parents filled out the paperwork

"the bill also dealt with other topics"--IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, he signed off on everything in the bill

"the bill died after Obama's committee voted it forward" ---IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, he got his say and he say YES

"Obama 'clarified' his views in 2004"---IRRELEVANT to the charge that Obama voted for sex ed for Kindergartners, he did so vote for a law that did say that.

so on the one hand you have the fact the bill called for sex ed for K-12, and Obama voted for it, and McCain's ad said so, and on the other hand, nothing to contradict it and lots of spin to put lipstick on that pig and fake outrage at how LOW McCain could be to mention the fact that Obama voted for a bill that called for "comprehensive instruction" on sex, drugs and tobacco.
