Re: Cheney in '94 on Iraq

I am for the war on terror, but I am against toppling a government and nation building (i.e. the war on Iraq). If you can't see the difference between a strategic strike in a part of the country and invading a country and toppling the government, and completely rebuilding its infrastructure, well I...

Re: Cheney in '94 on Iraq

I have just come to accept the fact conservatives cannot admit when they screw up. The entire party is set up on bullshit beliefs, bullshit reasoning, and bullshit rhetoric and you cant convince them otherwise. Its like a cult. Funny, all one has to do is insert liberal in place of conservative and...

Re: Cheney in '94 on Iraq

I'm sure they are.  But it was the Bush Whitehouse that created the "You're with us or against us" tone and used subliminal messaging and lies to create support for the war.  A vote against it at the time would have meant attacks and being labeled as a supporter of terrorism.  It's dirty ...

Re: Cheney in '94 on Iraq

Why do conservatives use semantics to justify the invasion of a sovereign nation that didn't attack us? As a "liberal" (I guess I have to cop to that so I can fit into the conservative definition of "pussy"), I don't care what you call it. It was no reason to invade Iraq. In fac...

Eat more protein so the brain works properly...  Clinton meddled in everything around the world and Gorbachev's recent criticism blamed the last 2 administrations, not just Bush, for wanting to establish a US global empire.

Re: Cheney in '94 on Iraq

The same intelligence was floating around the worldwide intelligence community for a long time.  Iraq also used chemical weapons against the Kurds and the Iranians thus proving Saddam's willingness to not only obtain but use such weapons.  Chemically attacked innocent Kurdish ethnic citizens and Ira...

Bullsh!t.  The Dem's have always been populist poll watchers and the polls said invasion was supported at the time.  That is why they voted to authorize the invasion.

Re: $30,000 Electric Car

The quote itself is from McClatchy Newspapers . There is a lot of information on the myth of Hydrogen rescuing the energy economy.  In looking for an original source for that quote, I ran across this informative diagram (on Wikipedia, so take it as you will) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en...

Re: $30,000 Electric Car

There are multiple ways of creating electricity - coal, nuclear, wind, solar. There is only one way to make petrol - oil. Interestingly I heard the other day the number of deaths that have happened to coal miners as a result of mining for coal power's fuel.  Pretty high.  Conversely, Nuclear Power ...

Re: $30,000 Electric Car

But what the hell good is a fuel cell if we burn coal to get electricity to make hydrogen? Hydrogen is an energy storage mechanism, just like coal and batteries.  Unfortunately, there is no hydrogen waiting to be mined from the earth*. * Unless you extract it from methane deposits in the ocean, in ...

Re: $30,000 Electric Car

What the hell good is an Electric car if we still burn coal to create electricity? Do you think this is going to help China one bit? Exactly.  The fuel cell variant of GM's Volt will be the mainstream of electric vehicles in the upcoming years.  640 miles for a range on that vehicle ain't bad and t...
