Gosh, thank you dear leader ol' wise one who will protect us from Libruls and Terror, thank you for agreeing to obey that silly law that checks your unquestioned authority and dictatorshipness. We will obey you Her Bush.

-- Republican Congress

"After months of resistance, the White House agreed Thursday to allow a secret intelligence court to review the legality of the National Security Agency's program to conduct wiretaps without warrants on Americans suspected of having ties to terrorists."

Another SECRET Court commissioned by our dear leader!!

Why do I get the feeling more strongly every day that our government is our enemy? Does that sound at all familiar to you righties?

You mean that the government has never spied on its own citizens before? I am shocked.

Why do I get the feeling more strongly every day that our government is our enemy? Does that sound at all familiar to you righties?

woe_is_W

That's why they voted for GW...to limit the govenment's intrusion into our lives...except when we get horny...Then it's thy will ordained...funny, I don't remember Nixon being caught up about bedroom stuff except as blackmail material...

Did the super righties miss the bus somewhere along the way?

They have missed that and a lot more.

Yet once again, the Republitards are demonstrated to be on the wrong side of the law, the wrong side of morality, and the wrong side of history.

a ha....and your questions are insights into why the last elections have come out like they have....and no amount of talking about how many voted the dem got or any of that can change the fact that republicans win because they express what americans want.....security, good economy....and no amount of liberal whining or selective information can change that......now if we can force them into spending less and going with the house republican immigration ideas......dems will be out on the street again three months from now........

watch and see..........

still up just, I see.............

and your last post is pretty much backwards


if you think that republicans have been on the wrong side, then you are too young to remember all the dems who attacked reagan for his comments and actions about the ruskies.....and werent around to hear teddy kennedy tell him that he was flat out wrong about how to treat them....
you should have heard the dems cry when reagan stopped the talks in iceland with gorby when he refused to halt sdi.....and so many other things.......that have been proven by time that the republicans were right and the dems were wrong.........

always right.....of course not....but a far better record than the left......

and of course when you are talking political history you cant just say dems either since they have undergone a drastic turn to the left from the PARTY OF MY YOUTH.......now michel moore is the spiritual leader instead of people like humphery and jfk..........

you may be right:>)

Israel likely to concentrate on major targets in Iran
Israeli Brig. Gen. Michael Herzog, a visiting fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said Israel would take into account retaliatory threats to American targets when deciding whether to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.

"This is a very difficult decision, and I don't think that it should be made hastily, even with the urgency of the crisis that's going on right now," he said.

(yeah, right:>)

Israelis Hold Keys To
NSA/US Military
Computer Networks
Critical, Crucial US Government And Military Computer
Networks Still Using Israeli 'Security' Software
By Christopher Bollyn
American Free Press
6-16-6


The most critical computer and communication networks used by the U.S. government and military are secured by encryption software written by an Israeli "code breaker" tied to an Israeli state-run scientific institution.

The National Security Agency (NSA), the U.S. intelligence agency with the mandate to protect government and military computer networks and provide secure communications for all branches of the U.S. government uses security software written by an Israeli code breaker whose home office is located at the Weizmann Institute in Israel.

A Bedford, Massachusetts-based company called RSA Security, Inc. issued a press release on March 28, 2006, which revealed that the NSA would be using its security software:

"U.S. Department of Defense Agency Selects RSA Security Encryption Software" was the headline of the company's press release which announced that the National Security Agency had selected its encryption software to be used in the agency's "classified communications project."

RSA stands for the names of the founders of the company: Ronald L. Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard M. Adleman. Adi Shamir, the lead theoretician, is an Israeli citizen and a professor at the Weizmann Institute, a scientific institution tied to the Israeli defense establishment.

"My main area of research is cryptography making and breaking codes," Shamir's webpage at the Weizmann Institute says. "It is motivated by the explosive growth of computer networks and wireless communication. Without cryptographic protection, confidential information can be exposed to eavesdroppers, modified by hackers, or forged by criminals."

The NSA/Central Security Service defines itself as America's cryptologic organization, which "coordinates, directs, and performs highly specialized activities to protect U.S. government information systems and produce foreign signals intelligence information."

The fact that the federal intelligence agency responsible for protecting the most critical computer systems and communications networks used by all branches of the U.S. government and military is using Israeli-made encryption software should come as no surprise. The RSA press release is just the icing on the cake; the keys to the most critical computer networks in the United States have long been held in Israeli hands.

hhhhmmmmmmmmm interesting article about the israelis taking out the iranian nukes......we over here think that all of them are able to just fly there with no concern for airspace....it does make for a dilema.....if iran sends planes to attack israel and they fly over iraq....doesnt that giveus the right to shoot them down......and if we do,,,,,what then?
interesting........

Wouldn't this be a flip flop for the "decidurrr"?

Amazing that it is news that president is going to attempt to follow the law.

But what is even more amazing is that there are people defending his abuse of authority.

Since the program is not illegal and constitutional the decision by the SCOTUS should provide a real vindication for the President.

It will be interesting to see the reaction of liberals and democrats when the SCOTUS rules the NSA program constitutional.

Will the Left defer to the wisdom of the court and hail the SCOTUS as a great mediator on important issues such as these as they did with Hamdan?

Or wil they just make the accusations the court is just doing Bush's bidding and claim we now live in a dictatorship? Unfortunately, that seems more likely.

You mean how the SCOTUS Vindicated Dubya with the Gitmo detainee deal LMAO SCOTUS is gonna Kick Dubya's ass clear into the Next CENTURY when they get this case. Mark my words Lokisfur bwhahahahahahahahaha LMAO

Larry

Der-
It'll be the same old song and dance.

The interesting thing is that the shriller they get in protest the more they may be hurting their objective.

""......now if we can force them into spending less and going with the house republican immigration ideas......""

BL you demonstrate your sheeplike tendency to actually buy the b.s. that the Republicans serve you. Apparently you are so naive that you actually believe the Republicans in the House want their bill to become law....you can't see that it is really just a stalling tactic. Come up with a bill so extreme that even the fascist president and the Senate can't go along with and it makes it appear to voters that you tried to do something against those evil Mexicans when in reality they know that it just lets them off the hook for another year. Another year of cheap labor is what they want and you who are fooled by them are also laughed at by them. How come I never hear any of you guys attack the Chamber of Commerce who has fought against reform of immigration and lobbied Republicans to do nothing???

give me an address and this afternoon the shit will fly at any chamber of commerce you want to talk about........bring it on......and dont just talk...lets do something...


and this is pretty amazing....think about what you are saying.......the repubs in the house are in direct opposition to the white house on amnesty....and thats what it is.....we ALL know that.......and so you say that I am a sheep because I believe in things that tancredi and king are saying......but how can I follow bush and the house.....bbbbaaaaaa bbbaaaaaa

see ...thats me crying like a sheep ....get it....get it........


and how come I never read you attacking the dems????????????? eh?

they are the ones who stall this in order to get more ILLEGAL votes.....and do you want to compare CHEATING at the ballot with cheap labor....I dont think so....
it keeps those welfare rolls going too now doesnt it?
and it is pretty distressing to think that not even on this issue which is ripe for bipartisanship, that you continue to level the liberal line of attack....this issue may be as close as the two sides can ever be......use it...dont abuse it....

DUMBYA continues to Waffle, WAFFLE, WAFFLER on everything!
BUSH is the WAFFLER-in-Chief!
!


The Only thing He has forced to "Stay the Course" is his enormous Profit-makin' People-killin' War machine!!

He went 180 degrees on OSAMA in only 3 Months!
180 degrees on Social Security, Immigration, Selling PORTS to Saudis, etc, etc...

Yet, the LEMMINGS non-thinker follower-Authoritarian NEOCONS yucked it up when their DICK-tator Leader claimed that "Kerry was a Waffler".!??
"Hilarious" to not have to think for yourselves, I can only imagine!?

BE REAL, Not RUSH!!
Impeach the CHIMP - First order of Business after November!

Bush allows? Guess what, guys? I allowed it to rain on my house yesterday. I also allowed the wind to blow against it's walls. Oh, and I allowed the sun to rise in the east and set in the west today as well.

Allow's got nothing to do with any of this. After years of lies and spin, somebody finally mustered up the balls to tell Bush he has to follow the laws, just like it says in the Constitution.

How sad, all that effort to turn America into a dictatorship, wasted. Poor Bushies, they are going to have to cry all the way to the bank, with all their "fiscally conservative" plunder.

Hmmm, now Bush agrees to let the courts "test the constitutionality" of his actions?

It seems the rightnuts owe apologies all around. For month after month, anyone who questioned the constitutionality of Bush's actions on wiretapping was called a traitor to America, enemy of freedom, Commie simp, the usual litany of nonsense.

Turns out the critics may be correct.

This is another example of how you can be penny-wise and pound-foolish. If Bush had just gone to Congress back in 2002 and 2003 and asked for changes in the laws, chances are good the GOP Congress would have enacted new laws to allow more flexibility in surveillance while balancing this with privacy and individual freedom. Bush would not have been in this dilemna, nor would America have been embarassed before the world as a hypocrite to its own ideals.

This is also a warning to the rightnuts of the consequences of being slavish followers and prisoners of ideology. If you all had held Bush accountable, instead of launching knee-jerk attacks on liberals and Democrats, you would have helped your guy and the country avoid a big mess.

FDR-
Sorry, but you should check this out.

"""and how come I never read you attacking the dems????????????? eh?

What are you drinking??
It is the Republican liars who are holding town meetings all over the country to talk about immigration issues instead of working out a bill with Senators from their own party that both House and Senate can approve.
Tell me oh believer in Republican sincerity, just how does a minority party, who can't hold hearings, can be easily over ruled can stall this???
It is so funny to see your president at odds with your Congressmen and then to have you blame Democrats.
Hilarious.
Hmmmm....could even say Hillary-ous.

The term "hillary-ous" is copywrited by Danni, 2006.
