Re: The Fog of War

Anyway, there's a cool documentary on Robert McNamara called The Fog of War , I highly recommend that you check it out. It glorifies him a little bit, but he's very humble at times in the telling of his history, and he makes a few points that I applaud - the main one, for me, is to be wary of ...

It still pisses me off that I can't see Trailer Park Boys, a Canadian Series that has reached critical as well as popular acclaim.

I'd love to see this series, but alas it seems to be very hard to find on the telly.

Gawd, this thread is like reading the RNC's cheerleeding squad. Bush sucked. He was a broken record. But I will give him and his handlers points for staying on message, and did all you RNC pom-pom pushers see that bush kept wanting to add onto the rebuttal without saying anything about the topic at ...

Either Gallup is way behind or you need a paid subscription to see the real numbers - did you notice that on Gallup's site, they only have 10 states that are this year? The other 40 are historical from 2000.... :roll: Florida: Aug 20-22nd...that's nearly a month ago! Regardless, it's just amazing ...

Polling & cell phones

Anyone who follows polls (I've gotten addicted to the Electoral-vote web site), sees that the tide is churning on an constant basis, almost like a swing on the playground. An interesting article on NewsDay states: Anybody who believes these national political polls are giving you facts is a gullible ...

so simple to keep them out? Just wondering, did you ever happen to talk with Ages when he was still around? His job is a border patrol agent in Texas. I got the impression that patrolling the border was not "simple" and that's putting it lightly. And that's only the Southern border. The fact is, the ...

I just don't get how you can expect to track down illegals without feeding the beast of burden you bring up in another thread: We're restricted like never before with big brother watching over us. Protecting us.Freedoms are being taken while government powers are being added, in secret. Double ...

Ignore for a moment the map & reply to the text before that statement, because that's where my main argument is.

Wow, thx for all the replies. Birdseye - I don't think it's so much as people waking up, as remembering why we went to war in the first place. I guess the real thing that bothers me is not that I think Bush lied. Rather, I believe that not enough due diligence was done on the information given. I ...

Birdseye, you are right on the money. But I think the DNC has two problems, one of which you stated & I'll expand on and that is they have no talking points. Heck, pick something and stand up for it. Take for example, education. I have a 4th & 5th grader and they are in classes of 32 & 31 kids. This ...

How about those convoys heading to Syria in the dead of night? I'll bet they were packing more than lollipops. Just as those we knew the scud missile trucks we were shown high-res satellite shots of turned out to be milk trucks? You need to question authority more, Top. And as for your statement ...

Below is in my own words & this is the first place I have thought to post it. Let me know what you think. Tman ---------------- Posturing continues on both ...
