Because the word "guess" is, in retrospect, the correct one.

What's important is that when Kerry finds out the information he's been
given is bad, he revisits the issue and sometimes adjusts his
conclusions.

More accurately, "...when Kerry finds out the [position] he's been
[espousing] is [politically unpopular], he revisits the issue and
sometimes
adjusts his
conclusions..."

Do you wish for a world where nothing changes from day to day? If so, I'd
suggest you buy yourself the computer game "Sim City", create a little
world, save the game at that point, and just sit there and look at it. Or,
if you prefer not to use electricity, you could probably achieve the same
thing with about $300 worth of Legos.

LOL, that 85% must include all the uninhabited desert, because the cites
sure aren't pacified.

If journalists sent their cameras into the worst parts of Compton, the
Bronx, and Chicago's south side (all Democratic strong-holds by the way),

I believe that the federal government's primary function is to provide a
strong military for our nation's defense. It of course has other functions,
too...but none as important as its primary function.

If my kids were 18, 20, and 22,( instead of 1, 3, and 5), I'd probably feel
a little bit differently. However, how can you blame me for wanting the
threat dealt with now...instead of when my kids are military age *AND*
facing a nuclear-armed enemy? The danger will only increase by waiting.
Realistically, I'm not *too* worried about a nuclear Iran...because I'm sure
that if we don't deal with them, the Israelis will do it for us.

Pakistan has nukes, India has nukes, North Korea has nukes, the PRC has
nukes, several of the former Soviet "republics" had nukes in their
possession and the whereabouts of many of those are unknown. And those
republics include Moslem states.

You seem to think there is some great mystery involved in obtaining the
materials for and building a nuclear device.

Your question :

"In your opinioin, which terrorist-sponsoring countries already have
nukes?"

I answered your question.

Now you are limiting your question.

Which Arab states in the could have nukes?

Almost any of them. Nukes are not something you have to develop on your
own. Some of the republics of the former Sov Union had nukes for sale.
The government of Russia asked for our help in finding, isolating and
guarding these devices. Your idiot president cut the funding drastically
for these safety measures.

As to which nation-states are sponsoring international terrorism, I
thought by now even you would have learned that "states" do not have to
sponsor terrorism for there to be terrorist attacks against us.

In fact, nations almost don't matter in the equation. Right now, there
could be 20 terrorists living in your home town, each with several of
the pieces and parts needed to make a nuke. These folks could be from
anywhere; they could even be home grown.

Perhaps the real enemy is out-of-control conservatism. Seems to me that
all the recent terrorist attacks on the US have been perpetrated by
conservatives. The folks on your side of the political fence seem the
ones who refuse to get along with others.

Bilgeman - circa 2004

Gould,

You have been all concerned about the republicans keeping the proposed draft
secret till after the elections.

If you have any problems with the draft you need to contact the following
representative:

The following representative introduced the legislation: Mr. RANGEL Dem.
from NY, Mr. MCDERMOTT Dem from Washington State, Mr. CONYERS, Mr. LEWIS
Dem of Georgia, Mr. STARK Dem from California, and Mr. ABERCROMBIE Dem. from
Hawaii, introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Armed Services.

The bill to reinstate the draft was introduced by democrats as a way to make
sure the privilege have to serve in the armed forces.

I guess the White House and Republicans are not responsible after all.

Sure sounds like a draft is the farthest thing from the government's mind.


A funny thing occurs to me. The Limbaugh fans who squeal, "Don't let them
register our guns! They might come and take them away!" have no difficulty
at
all registering their sons, and soon their daughters for that *exact*
purpose.

Gould,

You have been all concerned about the republicans keeping the proposed draft
secret till after the elections.

If you have any problems with the draft you need to contact the following
representative:

The following representative introduced the legislation: Mr. RANGEL Dem.
from NY, Mr. MCDERMOTT Dem from Washington State, Mr. CONYERS, Mr. LEWIS
Dem of Georgia, Mr. STARK Dem from California, and Mr. ABERCROMBIE Dem. from
Hawaii, introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on Armed Services.

The bill to reinstate the draft was introduced by democrats as a way to make
sure the privilege have to serve in the armed forces.

I guess the White House and Republicans are not responsible after all.

There are plans for a draft, but the Bush-****ters won't dare admit it
until after the elections.



Some folks who are reluctant to register their guns, for fear the
government
might take them away, are eager to register their kids for that *exact*
purpose. Go figure.

Taco, not so.

I have simply posted items from the Selective Service website stating that the
2004 goal is to be prepared to furnish XXXXX troops withing XXXXX time
"following the authorization to resume conscription.

If the Republicans wanted to keep this plan a secret, they wouldn't post it on
the internet, would they???

With any luck, the Repubs won't have much to say about whether there's a draft,
or not, after the election. :-)

Time to derail the New American Century disaster plan. Time for a change. We'll
have to see how courageous, or scared, the electorate is in a few weeks.

Gould,
Do you disagree that the party you support wants the draft reinstated?
