Multiple storms in a row.When will it stop? We won't know until it does. It's hurricane seaason. Hurricanes are not a nice present. They are unpredictable. Careful, Floridians! -2 Dances Terrorizing Hampster Dancers! It all started recently, with school starting up. But then terror striked again!

The Grim Hamster lord Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 So you're going to report on Europe? Good, good! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Latest news from Britain: Cloning One doctor has gone ahead despite the international ban on cloning and done the unthinkable. He has attempted to clone a human child. Whether the results are successful we will find out, but the doctor is now facing the EU commitee. Baghdad crisis. The British man who has been captured by Tawhid and Jihad Groups group has made a viedo plea to day, pleading for someone to save his life. Over 50,000 pamphlets were handed out in Baghdad asking for help. They were distributed in western Baghdad's Mansour district, where Mr Bigley and two colleagues were taken. The three were captured at gunpoint and Americans Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley have since been beheaded. The pamphlets were written in arabic and said this: Written in Arabic, the leaflets read: "This is a personal appeal from a family whose son is missing. "A family man called Ken Bigley is being held somewhere in your community. "We are Ken's family. Ken's mother, brothers, wife and child love him dearly. "We are appealing for your help. We appeal to those who have taken him to return Ken to us. "Do you know where Ken is? Do you have any information about his whereabouts?" "Show mercy" Labour party conference Tony Blair must do more to explain his Iraq decision but not say sorry, ex-Cabinet minister Stephen Byers has said ahead of Labour's annual conference. Mr Byers urged the prime minister to stress that elections in Iraq next January will provide democracy. And he needed to show he was in touch with domestic concerns after the focus on world affairs, Mr Byers told ITN. The MP also appeared to confirm reports that Labour's polling suggests Iraq might have lost 3m votes. Putin's plea There will be no about-turn in the country's life," Mr Putin told international media executives. "Russia made its choice 10 years ago for a democratic, society-orientated state with a market economy," he said. Mr Putin vowed to tighten the Kremlin's grip over the regions, after the Beslan school hostage tragedy this month. Mr Putin also urged journalists on Friday not to be passive in the face of international terrorism. "I'm convinced that in the condition of a global terrorist threat, that when people are being killed, the mass media cannot be simply observers," he said. "We do not have the right to forget." He also said terrorism must not be used as an excuse to limit freedom of the press. Kremlin tightens grip Mr Putin has proposed nominating top regional officials, including governors, before they are approved locally. Many Russians compare Beslan with the 9/11 attacks in the US The idea - if implemented - could increase the Kremlin's influence on Russia's local politics dramatically. The Moscow Times reported on Friday that 10 governors had signed up to the pro-Kremlin United Russia party this week. Quoting party leader Boris Gryzlov, it said at least 20 others were preparing to join the party. Russia has 89 regional governors, currently elected directly. Some observers say Mr Putin's plans are reminiscent of the party loyalty and central control that characterised the Soviet system. US President George W Bush spoke to Mr Putin by telephone on Thursday and reiterated the need to protect democratic institutions while prosecuting the war on terrorism, the White House said. Mr Putin announced the sweeping political changes as part of a package of tough anti-terrorism measures following the Beslan school siege in which at least 338 people died - nearly half of them children. The Beslan attack was claimed by Chechen rebel warlord Shamil Basayev. Russia has called for the extradition of Chechen political leaders living abroad, including rebel spokesman Akhmed Zakayev, who is currently in London. Britain and Russia are working on a new UN Security Council resolution to stop terrorists evading justice by hiding behind asylum and refugee laws. Chechen Rebels condem each other The Chechen rebel leader, Aslan Maskhadov, has said he wants his former comrade-in-arms Shamil Basayev to go on trial for the Beslan school siege. Mr Basayev has admitted organising the hostage-taking at the Russian school but blamed the hundreds of deaths there on the Russian security forces. Mr Maskhadov said Mr Basayev and others would have to go on trial at the end of Chechnya's war of independence. Mr Maskhadov's statement appeared on the rebel website Chechenpress.com. He again insisted that Chechen rebel forces under his command had "nothing to do with the terrorist act" in Beslan. The Chechen conflict "Unfortunately, with the current war continuing, it is practically impossible to bring to justice those responsible for the terrorist act," he admitted. More than 320 hostages were killed, many of them children, when pro-Chechen militants seized a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, in early September. The victims died during a fierce battle between the gunmen and surrounding Russian security forces. Mixed gang Mr Basayev says his fighters carried out the hostage-taking as well as the recent bombing of two Russian airliners and the Moscow underground. RECENT ATTACKS 3 Sep: At least 320 hostages die when Beslan school siege comes to bloody end 31 Aug: Suicide bomber kills 10 outside Moscow metro station 24 Aug: Suspected suicide bombers destroy two airliners shortly after they leave the same Moscow airport, killing 89 Russia's most wanted He identified the commander of the Beslan raid as a "Colonel Orstkhoyev" and said that 31 people from various ethnic groups in Russia were involved along with two "Arabs". The attackers included 12 Chechen men and two Chechen women, he said. Moscow blames both Mr Maskhadov and Mr Basayev for Beslan and has offered a $10m reward for their capture. Russia has always insisted its commandos assaulted the Beslan school only when explosives planted by the hostage-takers began to go off inside and children tried to run to safety. Mr Basayev said the hostage-takers had been demanding the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grim Hamster lord Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Time for a Euro update: Law Lords review terror detention Nine Law Lords have begun hearing a challenge to the government's right to detain foreign terror suspects without trial. The case focuses on nine suspects who have been held for up to three years. The detainees' legal team argue it is wrong for them to be held without charge indefinitely and wrong to single out foreign nationals. The government believes the measure is justified because of the scale of the terrorist threat after 11 September. The Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act (ATCSA) allows the imprisonment without trial of foreign nationals certified by the home secretary as a threat to national security, but who cannot be sent home because they might face death or torture. Opening the hearing in the House of Lords, Ben Emmerson QC, who represents seven of the detainees, said the issue was "very straightforward". He said: "In a democracy it is unacceptable to lock up potentially innocent people without trial or without any indication when, if ever, they are going to be released. "We say it is doubly unacceptable for a democracy committed to the principles of equality and anti-discrimination to single out foreign nationals when it is not prepared to apply the same measures to its own nationals." A legal challenge was mounted but in August, three Court of Appeal judges decided by a two-to-one majority that the government was legally entitled to hold the men. The nine detainees are challenging that decision. Eight of the appellants are currently in custody. The ninth, an Algerian man known as "D", was released in September. 'Compelling evidence' Attorney General Lord Goldsmith QC is leading a team of lawyers who will vigorously defend the government's stance. He will argue that the 2001 attacks were an "unprecedented form of terrorism" - a new phase in an "ideological war by Islamist extremists - which demanded a robust response from the government. "No responsible government could have failed to give careful consideration to an appropriate response to this new and intense threat to the nation." Protest attacks terror detentions He will say that the measures taken were "well within" the scope of what was open to Parliament. In an earlier statement the Home Office said that the measures were a "necessary and proportionate response to the threat we continue to face". "The home secretary has used these powers sparingly and on the basis of detailed and compelling evidence," it added. The detainees cannot be put on trial because evidence is too secret or would be inadmissible in a criminal court, the government claims. Shami Chakrabarti, director of campaign group Liberty, says the case of the detainees, many of whom are detained in Belmarsh maximum security prison in London, is "possibly the most important constitutional law case for a lifetime". "If we, British voters, thought it might be our family or our friends we would be a lot more nervous about letting the home secretary suspend the rule of law in this way." Cambodia's parliament has ratified legislation to set up a UN-backed tribunal to put leaders of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime on trial. The tribunal, which has been delayed by political infighting within Cambodia, will be the first chance for the regime's leaders to face justice. It will include Cambodians and foreigners, but still needs funding. More than 1m Cambodians died from starvation, disease or execution under the Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 rule. Cambodia's National Assembly voted by 107-0 to ratify the tribunal, which has been under discussion for more than five years. "What we have been waiting for so long has happened today," Prime Minister Hun Sen said after the vote. KHMER ROUGE TRIBUNAL: -Will try cases of genocide and crimes against humanity -Five judges (three Cambodian) sit in trial court -Cases decided by majority -Maximum penalty is life imprisonment Key figures facing trial The delays, and a 11-month political stalemate in Cambodia, had raised fears that none of the Khmer Rouge's ageing leaders would face justice. Its main architect, Pol Pot, died in 1998. Former army chief, Ta Mok, and chief interrogator Kaing Khek Iev, are the only two senior figures currently in detention awaiting trial. Other leaders, including head of state Khieu Samphan, foreign minister Iang Sary, and Nuon Chea, known as "Brother Number Two", are still free. The UN-backed tribunal will be made up of Cambodian and foreign legal experts, with Cambodians in the majority. Cambodian and foreign analysts have welcomed the tribunal's establishment. But there are worries that it will not be free of interference from the Cambodian government, some of whose members fought for the Khmer Rouge. There has also been criticism that, by focussing on a few high-profile leaders, the tribunal, will allow lower-ranking Khmer Rouge leaders who were also involved in serious crimes to escape justice. Funding for the tribunal has yet to be agreed. Cambodia's Foreign Minister, Hor Namhong, last week urged the UN to help find funds for half of the $50m tribunal. So far, only Australia has pledged to donate more than $2m. It was not clear how quickly the tribunal would be able to begin work. It still needs to be approved by the Senate and King Norodom Sihanouk, although these are expected to be formalities. That should be enough for now, it has been a slow news week.

The detainees cannot be put on trial because evidence is too secret or would be inadmissible in a criminal court, the government claims. Shami Chakrabarti, director of campaign group Liberty, says the case of the detainees, many of whom are detained in Belmarsh maximum security prison in London, is "possibly the most important constitutional law case for a lifetime". "If we, British voters, thought it might be our family or our friends we would be a lot more nervous about letting the home secretary suspend the rule of law in this way." Cambodia's parliament has ratified legislation to set up a UN-backed tribunal to put leaders of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime on trial. The tribunal, which has been delayed by political infighting within Cambodia, will be the first chance for the regime's leaders to face justice. It will include Cambodians and foreigners, but still needs funding. More than 1m Cambodians died from starvation, disease or execution under the Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 rule. Cambodia's National Assembly voted by 107-0 to ratify the tribunal, which has been under discussion for more than five years. "What we have been waiting for so long has happened today," Prime Minister Hun Sen said after the vote. KHMER ROUGE TRIBUNAL: -Will try cases of genocide and crimes against humanity -Five judges (three Cambodian) sit in trial court -Cases decided by majority -Maximum penalty is life imprisonment Key figures facing trial The delays, and a 11-month political stalemate in Cambodia, had raised fears that none of the Khmer Rouge's ageing leaders would face justice. Its main architect, Pol Pot, died in 1998. Former army chief, Ta Mok, and chief interrogator Kaing Khek Iev, are the only two senior figures currently in detention awaiting trial. Other leaders, including head of state Khieu Samphan, foreign minister Iang Sary, and Nuon Chea, known as "Brother Number Two", are still free. The UN-backed tribunal will be made up of Cambodian and foreign legal experts, with Cambodians in the majority. Cambodian and foreign analysts have welcomed the tribunal's establishment. But there are worries that it will not be free of interference from the Cambodian government, some of whose members fought for the Khmer Rouge. There has also been criticism that, by focussing on a few high-profile leaders, the tribunal, will allow lower-ranking Khmer Rouge leaders who were also involved in serious crimes to escape justice. Funding for the tribunal has yet to be agreed. Cambodia's Foreign Minister, Hor Namhong, last week urged the UN to help find funds for half of the $50m tribunal. So far, only Australia has pledged to donate more than $2m. It was not clear how quickly the tribunal would be able to begin work. It still needs to be approved by the Senate and King Norodom Sihanouk, although these are expected to be formalities. That should be enough for now, it has been a slow news week.

The Biggest Fan Of Fuzzy Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Latest news from Britain: Cloning One doctor has gone ahead despite the international ban on cloning and done the unthinkable. He has attempted to clone a human child. Whether the results are successful we will find out, but the doctor is now facing the EU commitee. Baghdad crisis. The British man who has been captured by Tawhid and Jihad Groups group has made a viedo plea to day, pleading for someone to save his life. Over 50,000 pamphlets were handed out in Baghdad asking for help. They were distributed in western Baghdad's Mansour district, where Mr Bigley and two colleagues were taken. The three were captured at gunpoint and Americans Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley have since been beheaded. The pamphlets were written in arabic and said this: Labour party conference Tony Blair must do more to explain his Iraq decision but not say sorry, ex-Cabinet minister Stephen Byers has said ahead of Labour's annual conference. Mr Byers urged the prime minister to stress that elections in Iraq next January will provide democracy. And he needed to show he was in touch with domestic concerns after the focus on world affairs, Mr Byers told ITN. The MP also appeared to confirm reports that Labour's polling suggests Iraq might have lost 3m votes. Putin's plea There will be no about-turn in the country's life," Mr Putin told international media executives. "Russia made its choice 10 years ago for a democratic, society-orientated state with a market economy," he said. Mr Putin vowed to tighten the Kremlin's grip over the regions, after the Beslan school hostage tragedy this month. Mr Putin also urged journalists on Friday not to be passive in the face of international terrorism. "I'm convinced that in the condition of a global terrorist threat, that when people are being killed, the mass media cannot be simply observers," he said. "We do not have the right to forget." He also said terrorism must not be used as an excuse to limit freedom of the press. Kremlin tightens grip Mr Putin has proposed nominating top regional officials, including governors, before they are approved locally. Many Russians compare Beslan with the 9/11 attacks in the US The idea - if implemented - could increase the Kremlin's influence on Russia's local politics dramatically. The Moscow Times reported on Friday that 10 governors had signed up to the pro-Kremlin United Russia party this week. Quoting party leader Boris Gryzlov, it said at least 20 others were preparing to join the party. Russia has 89 regional governors, currently elected directly. Some observers say Mr Putin's plans are reminiscent of the party loyalty and central control that characterised the Soviet system. US President George W Bush spoke to Mr Putin by telephone on Thursday and reiterated the need to protect democratic institutions while prosecuting the war on terrorism, the White House said. Mr Putin announced the sweeping political changes as part of a package of tough anti-terrorism measures following the Beslan school siege in which at least 338 people died - nearly half of them children. The Beslan attack was claimed by Chechen rebel warlord Shamil Basayev. Russia has called for the extradition of Chechen political leaders living abroad, including rebel spokesman Akhmed Zakayev, who is currently in London. Britain and Russia are working on a new UN Security Council resolution to stop terrorists evading justice by hiding behind asylum and refugee laws. Chechen Rebels condem each other The Chechen rebel leader, Aslan Maskhadov, has said he wants his former comrade-in-arms Shamil Basayev to go on trial for the Beslan school siege. Mr Basayev has admitted organising the hostage-taking at the Russian school but blamed the hundreds of deaths there on the Russian security forces. Mr Maskhadov said Mr Basayev and others would have to go on trial at the end of Chechnya's war of independence. Mr Maskhadov's statement appeared on the rebel website Chechenpress.com. He again insisted that Chechen rebel forces under his command had "nothing to do with the terrorist act" in Beslan. The Chechen conflict "Unfortunately, with the current war continuing, it is practically impossible to bring to justice those responsible for the terrorist act," he admitted. More than 320 hostages were killed, many of them children, when pro-Chechen militants seized a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, in early September. The victims died during a fierce battle between the gunmen and surrounding Russian security forces. Mixed gang Mr Basayev says his fighters carried out the hostage-taking as well as the recent bombing of two Russian airliners and the Moscow underground. RECENT ATTACKS 3 Sep: At least 320 hostages die when Beslan school siege comes to bloody end 31 Aug: Suicide bomber kills 10 outside Moscow metro station 24 Aug: Suspected suicide bombers destroy two airliners shortly after they leave the same Moscow airport, killing 89 Russia's most wanted He identified the commander of the Beslan raid as a "Colonel Orstkhoyev" and said that 31 people from various ethnic groups in Russia were involved along with two "Arabs". The attackers included 12 Chechen men and two Chechen women, he said. Moscow blames both Mr Maskhadov and Mr Basayev for Beslan and has offered a $10m reward for their capture. Russia has always insisted its commandos assaulted the Beslan school only when explosives planted by the hostage-takers began to go off inside and children tried to run to safety. Mr Basayev said the hostage-takers had been demanding the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WOW, thats alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grim Hamster lord Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) Time for more Royal scandals in Britain..... *sigh* Prince Harry in scuffle with paparazzi PRINCE HARRY LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Harry was hit in the face with a camera during a scuffle with photographers as he left a London nightclub in the early hours of Thursday, royal aides have said. A photographer's lip was cut after Harry, 20, pushed a camera away. Sources said the prince, third in line to the throne, was hit on the nose by a camera as he tried to get into a car after partying at Pangea club in Piccadilly. Pictures shown on television show the red-haired prince, who has a reputation as a playboy, scuffling with a group of photographers. Harry's injuries are not thought to be serious. London's Metropolitan Police had no official comment on the incident but a police source said it seemed there had been no arrests and that no charges were likely. Harry, who has grown up in the shadow of his elder brother Prince William, has attracted unwanted media attention in recent years after he admitted smoking cannabis and under-age drinking. Harry, who achieved only modest exam results from exclusive private school Eton, is to begin army officer training next year, continuing the royal family's long tradition of military service. Milosevic lawyers plead to quit Milosevic's lawyers say it his basic right to defend himself Lawyers appointed to defend Slobodan Milosevic are appealing for the former Yugoslav president to be allowed to defend himself at his war crimes trial. Mr Milosevic refuses to co-operate with the defence team and insists on his right to put his case to the court. His lawyers claim the judges sacrificed this right to speed up the trial, which has suffered numerous delays. Mr Milosevic is accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes during the 1990s Balkans war. The reason for more than a dozen delays to the trial proceedings has been Mr Milosevic's poor health. 'Fundamental right' British barrister Steven Kay was part of the defence team appointed last month when the court ruled Mr Milosevic was too ill to continue acting as his own defence lawyer. MILOSEVIC TRIAL Began February 2002 Milosevic faces more than 60 charges Prosecutors' case rested February 2004 Court already heard from 295 witnesses Mr Kay told the five-judge panel at the appeals court: "One cannot think of a more fundamental right, more in the interest of justice, more going to the fairness of a trial, than the right to present your defence as you want to present it, rather than how somebody else would like for you to present it." The defence lawyers also claim it is difficult to represent him, as he has refused to co-operate with them. The prosecution argues that the trial would be delayed even further if Mr Milosevic was allowed to represent himself. Many witnesses are refusing to testify unless Mr Milosevic is allowed to conduct his own defence. Another thing... British troops in Iraq are being moved after AMERICAN politicans asked for them to move to the conflict ridden area of central Iraq, this will mean that the US troops in the area are going to pull out, meaning less casualities amongst the US Army during the Election. If this move had been denied, US soilders would carry on dying at the current/increased rate, possibly losing Bush those crucial votes and giving Kerry the President-ship on a silver platter. So now the Royal Marines and the British Army are sacrificing their lives for Bush's votes. GRRRRR! DARN BUSH!

Britain and Russia are working on a new UN Security Council resolution to stop terrorists evading justice by hiding behind asylum and refugee laws. Chechen Rebels condem each other The Chechen rebel leader, Aslan Maskhadov, has said he wants his former comrade-in-arms Shamil Basayev to go on trial for the Beslan school siege. Mr Basayev has admitted organising the hostage-taking at the Russian school but blamed the hundreds of deaths there on the Russian security forces. Mr Maskhadov said Mr Basayev and others would have to go on trial at the end of Chechnya's war of independence. Mr Maskhadov's statement appeared on the rebel website Chechenpress.com. He again insisted that Chechen rebel forces under his command had "nothing to do with the terrorist act" in Beslan. The Chechen conflict "Unfortunately, with the current war continuing, it is practically impossible to bring to justice those responsible for the terrorist act," he admitted. More than 320 hostages were killed, many of them children, when pro-Chechen militants seized a school in Beslan, North Ossetia, in early September. The victims died during a fierce battle between the gunmen and surrounding Russian security forces. Mixed gang Mr Basayev says his fighters carried out the hostage-taking as well as the recent bombing of two Russian airliners and the Moscow underground. RECENT ATTACKS 3 Sep: At least 320 hostages die when Beslan school siege comes to bloody end 31 Aug: Suicide bomber kills 10 outside Moscow metro station 24 Aug: Suspected suicide bombers destroy two airliners shortly after they leave the same Moscow airport, killing 89 Russia's most wanted He identified the commander of the Beslan raid as a "Colonel Orstkhoyev" and said that 31 people from various ethnic groups in Russia were involved along with two "Arabs". The attackers included 12 Chechen men and two Chechen women, he said. Moscow blames both Mr Maskhadov and Mr Basayev for Beslan and has offered a $10m reward for their capture. Russia has always insisted its commandos assaulted the Beslan school only when explosives planted by the hostage-takers began to go off inside and children tried to run to safety. Mr Basayev said the hostage-takers had been demanding the withdrawal of Russian forces from Chechnya. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whoa! You're amazing!

Suirue Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Time for more Royal scandals in Britain..... *sigh* Prince Harry in scuffle with paparazzi PRINCE HARRY LONDON (Reuters) - Prince Harry was hit in the face with a camera during a scuffle with photographers as he left a London nightclub in the early hours of Thursday, royal aides have said. A photographer's lip was cut after Harry, 20, pushed a camera away. Sources said the prince, third in line to the throne, was hit on the nose by a camera as he tried to get into a car after partying at Pangea club in Piccadilly. Pictures shown on television show the red-haired prince, who has a reputation as a playboy, scuffling with a group of photographers. Harry's injuries are not thought to be serious. London's Metropolitan Police had no official comment on the incident but a police source said it seemed there had been no arrests and that no charges were likely. Harry, who has grown up in the shadow of his elder brother Prince William, has attracted unwanted media attention in recent years after he admitted smoking cannabis and under-age drinking. Harry, who achieved only modest exam results from exclusive private school Eton, is to begin army officer training next year, continuing the royal family's long tradition of military service. Milosevic lawyers plead to quit Milosevic's lawyers say it his basic right to defend himself Lawyers appointed to defend Slobodan Milosevic are appealing for the former Yugoslav president to be allowed to defend himself at his war crimes trial. Mr Milosevic refuses to co-operate with the defence team and insists on his right to put his case to the court. His lawyers claim the judges sacrificed this right to speed up the trial, which has suffered numerous delays. Mr Milosevic is accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes during the 1990s Balkans war. The reason for more than a dozen delays to the trial proceedings has been Mr Milosevic's poor health. 'Fundamental right' British barrister Steven Kay was part of the defence team appointed last month when the court ruled Mr Milosevic was too ill to continue acting as his own defence lawyer. MILOSEVIC TRIAL Began February 2002 Milosevic faces more than 60 charges Prosecutors' case rested February 2004 Court already heard from 295 witnesses Mr Kay told the five-judge panel at the appeals court: "One cannot think of a more fundamental right, more in the interest of justice, more going to the fairness of a trial, than the right to present your defence as you want to present it, rather than how somebody else would like for you to present it." The defence lawyers also claim it is difficult to represent him, as he has refused to co-operate with them. The prosecution argues that the trial would be delayed even further if Mr Milosevic was allowed to represent himself. Many witnesses are refusing to testify unless Mr Milosevic is allowed to conduct his own defence. Another thing... British troops in Iraq are being moved after AMERICAN politicans asked for them to move to the conflict ridden area of central Iraq, this will mean that the US troops in the area are going to pull out, meaning less casualities amongst the US Army during the Election. If this move had been denied, US soilders would carry on dying at the current/increased rate, possibly losing Bush those crucial votes and giving Kerry the President-ship on a silver platter. So now the Royal Marines and the British Army are sacrificing their lives for Bush's votes. GRRRRR! DARN BUSH! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could I agree more?

Suirue Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 No it is our problem because George Bush is going to have over 1,000 black watch (very very elite) killed in what the Times is calling 'The Triangle of Death'. Our men are going to die, just so your president get scrounge some extra votes, comprende? Also, you should try comparing the behaviour of our soilders to yours (I can assure you this is not being snooty, biased etc.) Our troops (genuine fact this) are going around handing out sweets, pencils (What the Dickens?) and calling people ma'm and sir. However what are American troops doing? You have had people jailed for abusing POWs and breaking the Geneva Conventions laws about war and various other things. What good have America's troops done so far? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's right, you know, Mega Wolf... Also, why are they handing out pencils?

Suirue Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Got a point. I have no clue why anyone so much as tolerates Bush sending your troops over just to get votes. I do hope he doesn't keep his presidency. Unfortunately, I am only a 12 year old who a lot of adults ignore and say I am uninformed and that is why I cannot vote. I am not an adult, I cannot vote, just because most of the people my age would not know squat about politics. I hate it how few rights the people under 18 get. Ah well. I can't do anything about it. They wouldn't listen to me, I'm just a kid. Even though everyone is supposed to have a voice to be heard. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I sympathize completely!

Suirue Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 No one tolerates it and for a change, Tony Blair was against the move. However he said that this was up to the military and then the Defense Secretary goes and forces the troops to move! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blair seems mor3e like a follower, and I don't feel against him like I do bush.

I have some questions. A) What took them so long? Can I get free replacement copies of all the CDs I mangled in my car before they figured this out?
