You can always grope them back, but not in a kind way.

depending on how accurate their list is (in all probability, not very). There are well over 700,000 terrorists in the world when you count Islamic extremists, extremists from other religions, socialistic and militaristic guerrilla groups from all six continents, racist groups such as the Aryan Nation (Tim McVay anyone?), and just random nihilistic individuals who hate society, such as the unabomber. That being said, I doubt everyone on this list is a real terrorist.

I suppose that would depend on your definition of terrorist.

Do you "seek to promote political or social change?" Do you make "numerous references to the US Constitution", or think that you have the right to own a gun? Congratulations! You could be a certified Domestic Terrorist!

Everyone is a terrorist!

Maybe it was way before my time, i don't even recognized the #1 on the list.

Who is

TOSHIRO MIFUNE, SEVEN SAMURAI (1954)?

a great 50s movie from japan...a classic and well done.........

Yojimbo

Good luck with the interview!

DHS head Michael Chertoff

"When we don’t have intelligence and when we don’t have information, we have to operate in a much more generalized and, dare I say, blunderbuss fashion. We have to sweep more broadly because we don’t know specifically what we’re targeting. That means we have to intercept and engage with more people, including more innocent people. We have to take broader counter-measures that will result in more inconvenience and more general disruption to our way of life...."

So they are detaining innocent people in the US or are going to detain innocent people in the US.

NASA and the ISS another blackhole to throw money down.

Spend money on a study that they are afraid to release.

Or a dance to make the wind stop blowing, if such a thing exists

Monster fires create their own weather pattern. The wind is most likely caused by the fire itself.

Do they know what sparked the fires?

Hope everyone is safe.

Bush is the quintessential neo-con....socially conservative, but loves to spend tax dollars like a drunken sailor. I'll bet he's never had to balance a checkbook in his life.

Bush has grown the Gov't more than Clinton or his Old Man.

You can get pulled over in MN for that. They call it obstructed view or something like that. A cracked windsheild, too much stuff in your back window, tinted windows, ECT. all treated the same. Just a money maker for the city or county. Even seatbelts are a primary offense in Minnesoviet now.

Cops in Louisiana have a special meter to measure whether window tint meets their state legal specifications. Offenders are ticketed and fined.

Yes siree. Cops have a whole list of "probable cause" reasons to light up a car and pull 'em over. That is when they often find the narcotics, weapons, alcohol, outstanding arrest warrants, etc., etc.

It starts out with minor infractions that initiate "probable cause" and ends up with a trip to the cross bar hotel as a guest of the taxpayer. Dat's how it goes.

What usually happens is they get pulled over for a minor offense. Then lie to the cop about drinking, drugs, weapons, ect. When the officer asked permission to search , the person agrees to a search then get busted.

In my youth I get pulled over plenty of times I just told the officer the truth and was let go. They don't like being lied to. A few times I didn't consent to a search either and was let go.

Don't forget, his administration or th UN hasn't done a thing to stop the production of poppies in Afganistan.

WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush asked Congress on Monday for $500 million to help Mexico fight powerful drug gangs as part of larger program to curb violence and the flow of narcotics into the United States.

Bush and Mexican President Felipe Calderon have spent several months hammering out the details of the package, which comes as the United States has welcomed a crackdown by Mexico on drug trafficking.

Concerned about killings tied to the narcotics trade, Mexican officials have made a series of drug raids, including one earlier this month in the city of Tampico that resulted in Mexico's biggest cocaine bust.

"The United States will do all it can to support Mexico's efforts to break the power and impunity of drug organizations and to strengthen Mexico's capabilities to deal with these common threats," White House press secretary Dana Perino said in a statement.

Bush's initial $500 million request for Mexico is part of a program that will total $1.4 billion. His administration has also requested $50 million for counter-narcotics efforts in Central American countries.

Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa said the three-year program meant the United States would send its southern neighbor equipment such as surveillance aircraft, drug-detection gear and data-processing technology.

Washington would not send Mexico cash, nor would it ask for guarantees in terms of arrests, get involved in strategy or send soldiers, she told a news conference. "At no point has the presence of U.S. troops or the participation of U.S. personnel or companies been contemplated," she said in Mexico City.

The anti-drug request earlier received a cautious reception from Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, who chided the White House for not consulting Congress more on details of the plan.

'DEVIL IN DETAILS'

"The devil will be in the details, and to this point, the details are scarce," Menendez said. He said he would be concerned if there was too much of a focus on enforcement without broader measures such as economic initiatives aimed at addressing the roots of the drug trade.

Calderon deployed 25,000 troops last December to back up police in fighting the cartels amid a surge in drug-related murders.

The Bush administration has said Mexico's crackdown has contributed to shortages in the United States of drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine, causing street prices to jump.

Bush spoke by phone to Calderon about the counter-narcotics plan before announcing the funding request.

The plan comes as the United States is struggling to compete with other powers in providing assistance and wielding influence in Latin America and elsewhere.

U.S. officials had already emphasized that no U.S. troops will be sent to Mexico as part of the counter-narcotics program, a sensitive issue in Mexico, where many would view a U.S. military presence as a breach of sovereignty.

Some media have dubbed the aid plan "Plan Mexico" to liken it to a multiyear initiative known as "Plan Colombia." Since 2000, the United States has pumped more than $4 billion in mostly narcotics and security aid into Colombia, including U.S. military advisers and trainers.

But U.S. officials have rejected that comparison and are calling the program the "Merida Initiative" after the Mexican city where Bush and Calderon discussed the drug war in March.

The U.S. funds will be used for equipment such as helicopters and narcotics-scanning equipment. Some will be used for training and technical help for law enforcement agencies.

The counter-narcotics proposal was included in an emergency budget request of nearly $200 billion, most of which is for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Luis Javier Algorri, a police chief in Mexico's tough northern border city of Tijuana, said the U.S. money would boost security programs and bring results but was not enough.

"We need more intelligence, more investigative police work," he said. "Without that, no plan will work."

i blame sponge bob

If there sponge bob were to reproduce we wouldn't have to worry about sea levels rising.

I like Gary the snail that meows like a cat

An interesting theory. But I prefer the one that states the continued deforestation of the planet is causing the planet to spin rapidly out of control and will eventually whizz off into the nether regions of space. This is similar to the increased speed of a spin when a skater brings her arms in closer to her body.

That must be why the moon is moving away from the earth. There is less gravitational force to hold it.

Illegal immigration is caused by Global warming.

No...it's caused by George Dubba-yew Boosh.

I'd actually blame Reagan. He had an Amnesty program in the 80's.

...and unicorns live in the Candycane Forest.

with lolipop flowers and chocolete streams.

Realist

In general the Left blames everything on Global Warming and those on the Right blame Illegal Immigration.

Illegal immigration is caused by Global warming. People from the south are moving north.

Global warming is caused by a surge in illegal immigration. If the US produces 25% of the worlds Green house gases so with more people in the US Green house gas production will rise.

What a nasty circle.

The US attacking Iran would be a bonehead move. Iraq was a bonehead move. As much of a tyrant Saddam was, he kept the lid on the the boiling pot.

Yep. Too bad that the Bushies couldn't figure this simple bit out.

Now the VP is spouting about Iran and Turkey is getting ready to retaliate against the Kurds. Get ready for the SHTF.

I quit years ago. I lost track after about 2 years. I used the gum to quit. You will notice that you can taste and smell a lot better. After a week or two its all mental. Just stay strong. I had to stay away from smokers for about a month.
