<<The psycho Muslems first attacked the USA in the name of Alah in the 1780's under Thomas Jefferson. His response was to create the Marines ("to the shores of Tripoli.")
Now that they will soon have Nukes that can be shipped to our harbors, what do we do? Walk away chanting "Bush is an idiot"?>>
Firstly, thanks for the history lesson. I didn't know that the "psycho Muslims" had ever invaded the US. It sounds like you are a member of the minority of people who think Bush has been good for America, and I just don't think that group has the ability to think clearly, and learn from their mistakes. As to your question about what are you going to do... maybe you have to invade all these "psycho Muslim" countries too. You are going to be very busy.
Article: U.N. sees dash for nuclear programs
Some nations' interest spurred by rising cost of oil; others fear start of a regional arms race.

Excerpt:
Although the United Arab Emirates has a proven oil reserve of 100 billion barrels, the world's sixth-largest, in January it signed a deal with a French company to build two nuclear reactors. Wealthy neighbors Kuwait and Bahrain also planning nuclear plants, as are Libya, Algeria and Morocco in North Africa and the kingdom of Jordan.
Even Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the Arab world, last year announced plans to purchase a nuclear reactor, which it says is needed to produce electricity; it is one of 11 Middle Eastern states now engaged in starting or expanding nuclear power programs.
Meanwhile, two of Iran's biggest rivals in the region, Turkey and Egypt, are moving forward with ambitious nuclear projects. Both countries abandoned any pursuit of nuclear power decades ago but are now on course to develop seven nuclear power plants — four in Egypt and three in Turkey — over the next decade.

I am regretting my previous rant simply because it seems to have distracted many from the subject of this thread. I'm not going to further this discussion past this post. I think you have a very small comfort zone, are very susceptible to propaganda and do not clearly think out both sides of the issues to see who is benefiting from all this carnage.
I come from a very small Western European country that has a long history of being ripped apart by the last two great empires: the Romans and the English. The press and the pulpit will always favor the powers that be, but that does not make them accurate or right.
I wish the best for the fine people of the United States, and I hope they will prevail in forcing their elected representatives to work in a more intelligent manner to protect their open borders and ports, (amazing for a country at war for 7 years) their economy and most importantly their freedoms.
The world needs a leader and I don't think it's too late for the US to take that role despite the setbacks of the past 7 years.
BTW the uranium stocks are painting nice charts here. Let's hope it continues. |
