well - yes until i heard today that the most controversial sticky point is over the provision that the employer not be required to justify the cause of firing. That seems to be a bargaining chip that the govt could use w/o giving up on the more important aspects of that law - mainly the right to lay off...

I thought we was talkin about the WOT and propaganda. Could you possibly reread, please? I am sure you will find it interesting that you agree with Rumsfeld.

OK, funny. You have the hots for a 70-year-old German in a USAF uniform. Could we have a bit of lucidite in your response?

Maybe our guys "get it"??????

Maybe Chitrack and Vilpine missed it?

"The enemy we face may be the most brutal in our history. They currently lack only the means -- not the desire -- to kill, murder millions of innocent people with weapons vastly more powerful than boarding passes and box cutters," Mr. Rumsfeld told the assembled military officers, referring to the terrorists who struck on 9/11.

ain't it all about means and not intent ? who cares that they hate your guts, the only way you can make them dangerous (I mean on a large scale loss of life level) is by digging deep in your fantasies and invoking dirty bombs (incidentally, even padilla's prosecutors are strangely quiet on that issue), ricin in the air - and whatever else your imagination may produce. there isn't a shred of evidence that there is a patent threat from these guys.

secondly wasn't rummy around during the cold war ? To state that a couple of bedouins armed with scissors are more brutal than Mr K and his nuclear arsenal is comical. time to hang the gloves and hit the sack daddy'o

A billion assholes with 50 billion dollars in oil money that want to kill you is almost by definition a credible threat. You may have caught that little bit of news about the Pakis having the bomb and the Iranians being close? You think deterrance is gonna work against folks waiting for the 12th Imam?

Why do you trust the Koranners more than the idiots in Georgia waiting for the second coming of the Jaysus guy?

1 billion muslims and they all want you dead ? you gotta tune in to the fm radio, man. also where is the 50b figure from ?

as things stand, what is the muslim bogeyman capable of doing ? Blowing up McDonald's head quarters at best ? Oh, well - we all need to watch what we eat.

Actually , Pepe, you have a point. 50 Billion dollars is a joke. JJ badly underestimates the monies controlled by those who see us as Constantinople Now. :( [that was your "point", eh Pepe?]
As for the obvious inability, as you so sharply noted, of Jihad Central to destroy anything beyond a McDonald's, if the past 15 years don't prove that I don't know what does. For shame, JJ, not to have yet mastered the subtle arts of French Empiricism.

What's the fm radio, Pepe? You think I am listening to Rush too much?

For the rest of you, one day in Berkeley, Pepe took me to a real Berkeley coffeeshop Alan Ginzburg probably would have walked out of to head back to sane North Beach.

Right next door there was a similar bookstore and Pepe showed me around. We had our kids.

Well, suffice it to say that there was a big feminism section, a big healing section, a big new age section, a big crystal power section, a Foucault section to die for...

Pepe and I used to make public nuisances of ourselves in New Orleans (if that is possible in New Orleans) so I thought I would entertain him and our kids by asking the bookstore's Birkenstock in Chief where the Dittohead section might be.

It's a joke that has lived on.

arelcao: the past 15 years have actually shown that al qaeda was capable of little more than blowing up buildings. On a scale of public danger, they are perhaps a notch above the mafia but a far cry from the threat that came from the warsaw pact nations. to state that is is "the most brutal ennemy" that the us has ever had is just silly.
