y Bush admin puts their butts in other countries.

Osama is jst a virtual personality, there is no osama. All things happenin in the world is pre planned by CiA.

[Basilides7]

Go Obama

♥ Barack Obama ♥

[MarcusVorenus]

Isn't bin laden hiding out in Pakistan, I thought we were against countries that harboured terrorist, oh well, I'm sure we'll get around to bombing Pakistan eventually.

[eropa11]

Mr Mushrraff receives 115 Million in payment per month to look for Osama. He spends 10 million pm to protect Osama. Genius Mr Bush really believes that Mush will find Osama and loose his pension.

[lostinmaya]

Staged chaos? Sen. Hood said it. This situation WAS CREATED by the Bush administration. How convienent to have another reason to be there! The warmongers are winning.

[djathens2]

Thank you so much for the mash-up! Great job.

[flexorder]

the only way to defeat terrorism is to support dictatorship in Pakistan

[mannycan]

oh good flexorder, so what u r saying is" the only way to defeat terrorism is to become terrorists"!

Of the 10 or more billion dollar aid that has been given to pakistan in years after 9/11, most of it has been in form of defence equipment that can't be used for counter-terrorism, rathers it's aimed at countering India!

[MarcusVorenus]

That's exactly what we did when we supported Suddam Hussein, and that worked out wonderfully.

[fishhead06]

Biden's right: The US doesn't have a policy. So when Bush talks about the "watchword of our policy in the Middle East," I have to laugh - bitterly.

[timetofly5]

Bush need to have a example of what to do when he declares our constitution null and void here in America. pay attention. you are not far from this very action

[bodah44]

the sheer hypocrasy and stupdity of the neo cons can u imagine the reaction if iran arrested all the lawyers and put in marshal law? america would be bombing already but heres pakistan with over 100 working nuclear warheads (most aimed at india) they talk about WW3, if it happens it starts here. they dont support democracy they support those who support them (neo cons)!

[scooter952]

i $#%@ you not, the opening lines made me think of the US i was like... WOAH

[adventurenox]

Musharraf is just one example in a long line of dictators supported by the USA. At times he might have seemed benign or even benevolent, but he is still a dictator. It is ridiculous to be surprised when these types of things happen. His power was being threatened and, as force is the primary weapon of a dictator, he's chosen to round up the judiciary who threatened his power. Bush should be ashamed of his support for this man no mater affable he is when he visits Jon Stewart.

[NakedWombat666]

what a bunch of a-holes. war to them is a word nothing more.

[dafttool]

Bush is in a bad position he put himself in. This is what happens when you support military dictators that overthrow democratic elections: they act like military dictators. Bush didn't care about the will of the Pakistan people; he only cared what Musharraf could do for him and America.

[cagedtigersteve]

Bush did overthrow democratic elections in 2000 and become a warmongering military leader.

[wiskawind]

I agree except for the America part! Bush doesn't give a damn about this country or the American people! Wait until Bush uses Directive 51!

[dafttool]

I actually just re-read this and was disappointed with my response for just what you pointed out. I should've have said something about the military-industrial complex instead of America.

[wiskawind]

Isn't it funny that Directive 51, gives Bush the power to do the same thing here? I sure hope I am wrong, if I am not, this country is going to explode in a revolution. Also, I am boycotting all stores this year; will only shop with local artisans for gifts, or make the gifts myself. I refuse to spend one penny on a commercial Christmas; they have stolen American jobs that produced quality products, and given us back lead toys for our children. I am so mad I could just spit!

[LuminiferousAether]

Can anyone tell me what the 8 nuclear capable countries are? I can think of:

Russia

England

France

U.S.

Israel

Pakistan

China

India maybe?

[Apressello]

They are: USA Russia Great Britain France China Pakistan India Israel (undeclared) North Korea probably has made a nuclear weapon, but agreed to end its program. The South African regime under Apartheid developed the technology to make nuclear bombs, and then decided to close the program. Other countries, like Argentina, have had weapons programs that were later abandoned. Did I miss anyone?

[baldhume]

US · Russia · UK · France

China · India · Pakistan

Israel · North Korea

South Africa

looks like 10 to me

[dafttool]

Russia (up to 16,000); America (up to 10,000); UK (750); France (350); China (130); India (up to 120); Pakistan (up to 80); North Korea (up to 10); Isreal (up to 200)

That's from Wikipedia, but I vaguely remember there being talk of South Africa having a couple several years back, but I didn't see those listed. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine and Georgia have some tucked away.

[foodope]

Just read the wikipedia article on Nuclear Proliferation.

[Darganot]

oh, wonderful.

Times like this I'm reminded of an old Country Joe Macdonald song... "Yippie! We're all gonna die!"

[Antichrys]

hold your breath people...terrorists may get their nuclear bomb yet. Thank you President Bush for supporting this power hungry dictator Musharaff, he's just a single bullet or suicide bomber away from overthrow with the nuclear trigger ending up lord knows who. I dunno whether to laugh or cry.

[DamNationDiplomat]

And the media's worried about IRAN, what a joke!
