Inside Story- US- Iran tensions- 30 Aug 07






Who is... United States Republican presidential candidates, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

United States Republican presidential candidates, 2008 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Mike Huckabee, born August 24, 1955, in Hope, Arkansas, served as Governor of Arkansas for 10 and a half years. Huckabee has announced he will seek the Presidency in 2008.[30] He has made several trips to important primary states, including a four-day trip to New Hampshire in August 2006. His campaign has been focused largely on Iowa for the Ames Straw Poll on August 11, 2007 He announced that he would be running in 2008 on NBC's Meet the Press Television show with Tim Russert.[31] and has since made an appearances on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, The Today Show on NBC and many appearances on CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC regarding the 2008 Presidential Election."

CTV.ca | Taliban vows more abductions as hostages freed:

CTV.ca Taliban vows more abductions as hostages freed:

"The seven remaining South Korean hostages taken captive last July by the
Taliban have been released, and insurgents have vowed they will abduct more
foreigners. 'We will do the same thing with the other allies in Afghanistan,
because we found this way to be successful,' Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef
Ahmadi told The Associated Press by phone on Thursday."


Besides the clear suffering of the victims, this is going to hurt the people of Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a country that needs the help of the international community very much right now. Actions like this are going to make it harder to get organizations and people to come that are willing to help. They are not going to chase the American army out by chasing out aid workers. They are attacking people who come to help them, there is no honor in that.

Media Matters - Buchanan, Scarborough claimed that a military strike against Iran would be popular, but polls suggest otherwise

Media Matters - Buchanan, Scarborough claimed that a military strike against Iran would be popular, but polls suggest otherwise:

"Summary: On MSNBC, Pat Buchanan claimed that a U.S. attack on Iran is
'comin[g]' and went on to assert that a military strike against Iran would be 'a
very popular initial move.' Joe Scarborough agreed, stating that 'a military
strike against Iran initially would be extraordinarily popular with the American
people.' But polling data show that most Americans say they would oppose an
attack on Iran. Summary: On MSNBC, Pat Buchanan claimed that a U.S. attack on

I don't think that Americans ever think of wars as being popular. Paris Hilton is popular, Britney Spears is popular. There is something wrong about calling a war popular, most of all a war that would be as disastrous as a war with Iran.

This Weeks Highlights

Edwards On Track in Iowa - TIME

Edwards On Track in Iowa - TIME:

"John Edwards is betting that a strong showing in the Iowa caucuses will
catapult him into national contention, and so far his strategy in the state is
on track. A new TIME poll of likely Iowa caucus goers, taken a week after
Edwards' seven-day, 31-stop bus tour of the state, gives Edwards 29% of the
vote, five points ahead of Hillary Clinton and seven ahead of Barack Obama. This
latest TIME Poll of 519 likely Iowa Democratic caucus goers finds that, among
the so-called 'second-tier' candidates, Bill Richardson has 11%, with Joe Biden
at 5%, Dennis Kucinich with 2%, and Chris Dodd at 1%. (The Poll was conducted
August 22 � 25, 2007. The margin of error is approximately +/- 5 percentage
points.) "


I really hope that Edwards doesn't win the nomination. I don't think that he will win the general election. Americans don't buy the concept of class warfare, it has never worked, and it is one of the key strategies of his campaign. Edwards doesn't carry himself life a president, he doesn't have a connection to Americans that allows them to trust him as president.

Watching Those We Chose: Gonzo is still under the gun

Watching Those We Chose: Gonzo is still under the gun:

"In a letter today to Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), Fine said his office
'has ongoing investigations' related to Gonzales's testimony on several key
issues, including the prosecutor firings and allegations of improper hiring; the
National Security Agency's Terrorist Surveillance Program; the FBI's use of
national security letters; and allegations that Gonzales sought to improperly
influence a witness who was under investigation by Congress and the Justice
Department. Gonzales's often contradictory remarks and his repeated assertions
that he could not recall key events drew fire from lawmakers of both parties and
contributed to his dwindling support on Capitol Hill."

Sounds like Gonzales might be out of his job, but he isn't out of trouble yet. There are some who have assumed that he took the step to resign knowing that an investigation being launched inside the justice department was getting close to putting him in a corner.

Obama to Donate Funds From Norman Hsu - TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime

Obama to Donate Funds From Norman Hsu - TalkLeft: The Politics Of Crime:

"A spokesman for Senator Barack Obama, the Illinois Democrat who is a rival
of Mrs. Clinton for the party’s presidential nomination, said Mr. Obama intended
to give away $7,000 that Mr. Hsu contributed to his committees."


Similar to the move taken by Clinton, this is the right choice for Obama to make. It is even more important that he take this step in regards to the fact that Clinton steeped back from the donation. Clinton still has to explain that little green house in San Francisco, and the money that is reported to have come from people who lived there.

"Wouldn't you know it, the GOP is treating Sen. Larry Craig, who solicited

admitted to using a (heterosexual) prostitution service. You can check out Think

Is Sen. Craig being treated differently than Sen Vitter because of the homosexual nature of his crime. Is a crime that involves womyn more acceptable to Republicans. When listening to the statements that Craig has made, his focus is more on his not being gay, than the fact he was soliciting for sex.

DeLay Schools Lauer on MSM Bias: 'Amazing Double-Standard' | NewsBusters.org

DeLay Schools Lauer on MSM Bias: 'Amazing Double-Standard' NewsBusters.org:

"MATT LAUER: By all accounts these are some tough times for the Republican
party. Last fall Democrats took control of both houses of congress, largely
because of opposition to the war in Iraq. In 2006 the Republican party was also
hit with distracting scandals involving Congressman Mark Foley's inappropriate
emails to male congressional pages and lobbyist Jack Abramoff's corruption case
that brought down several prominent Republican congressmen. This year the phone
number of Republican senator David Vitter turned up in the records of a
Washington, DC escort service, and now recent polls show voters prefer a
Democrat over a Republican by 51-27% and at least one poll found the most
popular choice among Republican presidential candidates is 'none of the above.'
The question now is can any of the damage be reversed? Former House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay served in congress for 22 years and knows personally how
scandals can impact a party. He's also the author of a new book called No
Retreat, No Surrender: One American's Fight. Tom DeLay, congressman, good
morning. TOM DELAY: Good morning, Matt. LAUER: So I went through a litany there,
and maybe I should start by stepping back. We've got two members out of 49
Republican senators in office right now embroiled in controversy. So do we have
a party embroiled in scandal or do we have two bad apples?"


Tom Delay claimed that this question was biased and attacked Matt for the media being biased against the conservatives. This sounds like a tough but fair question to me.

CNN's host Glenn Beck says New Orleans should not be rebuilt - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

CNN's host Glenn Beck says New Orleans should not be rebuilt - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Now, the levees were designed to protect New Orleans. They were tragically
under-engineered, and they still are. Even as we speak, the city continues to
literally sink towards the seafloor. The protection of the Mississippi Delta
continues to wash away with the delta itself. It is disappearing by 25 to 30
square miles, an area the size of Manhattan, each and every year. That means
that over two more acres will be gone by the time tonight`s show is over. So
tonight, here`s what you need to know. President Bush can propose to pledge
another $1 billion or hundred gazillion dollars into rebuilding New Orleans. It
doesn`t matter. You can`t change New Orleans` doomed geography. As hard as it
may be hard to say, or maybe for you to hear, the Big Easy is a lost cause. And
we`re throwing good money after bad.And more importantly, we`re sending people
back into a water hole death trap. That`s what New Orleans is. And it is as
foolish as those misguided people in Malibu who continue to rebuild their homes
on sliding mountains of mud. At the end of the day, Mother Nature always wins.
Now, the private sector, you know, if you want to go ahead and put New Orleans
back together and risk your life in that process, none of my business. But when
a dope like Mayor Ray Nagin wants to ship the poorest of the poor back into
harm`s way and says we need to do it with my tax dollars and your tax dollars,
it`s all my business. I`m all for compassion, but I`m out of tolerance for
stupidity. Now, it would be different if New Orleans were being built
bulletproof for a Category 5 hurricane, like the one that just rocked Mexico
just a week ago. But it`s not. New Orleans, the new levees, would be lucky to
weather another Category 3, the exact same storm that destroyed it two years ago
today.


I actually think that there is good reason to not rebuild the whole city. There are areas of the city that were in a position of such inherent danger that there is little if anything that can be done to make them safe. New Orleans amounts to being a very big sand bar, some of which lays under sea level. It doesn't make sense to me to build on such a foundation. Offer people who lost their homes funds to help them relocate. I know that some will talk about wanting to go back to their homes, and if they want to do that they should be able to. If they want to pay for it themselves.

As expected, Petraeus sees progress -- just like Bush - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

As expected, Petraeus sees progress -- just like Bush - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"The U.S. troop surge in Iraq has thrown al Qaeda off balance and led to a
reduction in sectarian violence and bombings, the U.S. commander in Iraq was
quoted on Friday by an Australian newspaper as saying. 'We say we have achieved
progress, and we are obviously going to do everything we can to build on that
progress and we believe al Qaeda is off balance at the very least,' General
David Petraeus told the Australian in an interview after briefing Australia's
defense minister, Brendan Nelson, in Baghdad. Petraeus and U.S. ambassador Ryan
Crocker will testify before the U.S. Congress on either September 11 or 12."


I think that there are solid reasons to believe that there is some success that is taking place in Iraq right now. There is no doubt much more progress that will be needed down the road though. I also think that there are some who are determined to not see the progress in Iraq.

A Blog For All: Why The Delay?

A Blog For All: Why The Delay?:

"There are numerous reports today that people working at the UN discovered
vials of phosgene gas while cleaning the offices of UNMOVIC. The workers,
members of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, were
wrapping up operations in their offices, when they came across a number of
vials, which turned out to be phosgene suspended in oil. Phosgene is a choking
agent and is properly considered a chemical weapon, not a nerve agent as the ABC
News story reported."


I am sure we will be hearing more about this in the days to come. I want to know what it was doing there and what was its purpose. It isn't something I think we should be concerned about in the way that I know some on the right will claim. Is it part of plot to over throw the US government and implement UN rule, I doubt it. This should be looked into though.

This is a flash back to the days when she was better known as an ass kicker than as a sweet mother with a cute daughter.

She told her sparring partner that everything was game, but to stay away from her breasts.

Oh, so I guess OK Mag and Larry are having disagreements about the deal that Larry cut with OK mag for coverage and Danielynn's first birthday party.

Same-sex couples can marry, Iowa court rules

Same-sex couples can marry, Iowa court rules

(CNN) -- An Iowa district court ruled Thursday that same-sex couples can marry
based on the state constitution's guarantee of equal treatment, court documents
show.
The ruling was in response to a December 2005 lawsuit brought by six
same-sex couples seeking to wed. They were denied marriage licenses and claimed
such treatment violates equal-protection and due-process clauses in the Iowa
constitution.


Another step in the process towards equal rights for homosexuals. It is a little bit of a shock that this came from Iowa, which is not known as being a bastion of liberal thought.

Historic fall in home prices

Historic fall in home prices

A historic decline in home values comes down to this: Even if you never signed
papers on a risky loan during the real estate frenzy, you may now be paying a
price. In recent decades, it has been uncommon for US home prices to fall
much, even during recessions. One government measure has never shown a
year-over-year decline in its three-decade history.


This is bad news for those who own homes right now, because they might lose value. It is good news for those who are looking for a house though. It is an healthy thing for the economy, the housing bubble was becoming a risky, it was either going to deflate slowly or bust.

Judge OKs Removal of Lisa Nowak's Monitoring Bracelet

ORLANDO, Fla. — Former astronaut Lisa Nowak can remove an electronic monitoring bracelet from her ankle while she awaits trial on charges she attacked a

Nowak had argued that the bracelet was expensive, bulky and uncomfortable. Judge Marc L. Lubet said that those claims did not matter, but that Nowak had behaved well enough over the past seven months to remove the device.



Watch out for a crazy astronaut wearing an adult diaper with pepper spray. Nowak has been released of her obligation to wear her ankle bracelet.

With the increase of data collection, comes a glut of data that needs to be processed, stored and understood.

NBC Refuses to Air Ads Supporting Iraq War Funding

NBC Refuses to Air Ads Supporting Iraq War Funding

I have a very important mission for all of you. Our good friend’s at Freedom’s
Watch are running a $15 million ad buy calling on the American public to tell
members of Congress to support full funding of the war in Iraq. These ads are
extremely powerful testimonials from veterans and their family members, some of
whom lost loved ones in the war. Naturally, the mainstream media is criticizing
the conservative organization for their message and their successful fundraising
for this project, and I guess that’s to be expected. But instead of simply
reporting on the issue at hand, NBC is outright refusing to air these pro-Iraq
war ads on MSNBC or CNBC.

The station has the right to refuse to run the ads as long as it is not running ads against the war. I am not sure that is the case or not. I understand the concern that is being voiced by this group, and I think that NBC is taking the wrong step in this. While the station could argue that they are attempting to stay out of a heated political debate, that is a weak argument. MSNBC runs Count Down with Keith Olbermann, a show that has consistently been against Bush and the war. Again the station has the right to run that show, and I support Olbermann's right to have the kind of news show that he wants.

In the end this is the wrong move because Americans are going to wonder, if this is being blocked from the air, what else is being blocked?
