Best treatment for leukemia is radiation. I hope that prick sticks whatever he has produced up his waiting rectum and touch's it off for a little dose.

Sorry for the rant, but many years ago was involved with the nuke stuff and the fear was never the USSR. They were smart enough to understand MAD.

Scary part of the nuc. world has been known for years, some short peckered want to be tough guy will get a weapon one day. He doesn't care about his own death and just wants to be a note in history. Bad news.

I'm not worried for us as his delivery vehicles suck to put it mildly, but I am worried for his neighbors.

I'm also concerned about the ice storm that I am getting right now. I'm down for the count as the battery has kicked in and my experience with these is that it could be awhile before power is restored. Take care folks!

It would be very convenient to have Saddam in MD Anderson if the "Terrorist Elimination Act of 2001" were to pass.

FTW 1/24/01 - HR 19, Introduced by Republican Georgia Congressman Bob Barr on January 3, 2001, the first day of the new 107th Congress, would legislatively repeal sections of three Executive Orders specifically prohibiting assassinations by the United States Government.

Entitled the "Terrorist Elimination Act of 2001", the bill, submitted to the House International Relations Committee, would specifically nullify sectionsof three previous Executive Orders including one initiated by Ronald Reagan in 1981. It is interesting to note that acts of Congress are not required to nullify previous Executive Orders (EOs) <clip>

<clip to proposed bill>
Section 3 of HR 19 specifically states:
(1) past Presidents have issued Executive orders which severely limit the use of the military when dealing with potential threats against the United States of America;

(2) these Executive orders limit the swift, sure, and precise action needed by the United States to protect our national security;

(3) present strategy allows the military forces to bomb large targets hoping to eliminate a terrorist leader, but prevents our country from designing a limited action which would specifically accomplish that purpose;

(4) on several occasions the military has been ordered to use a military strike hoping, in most cases unsuccessfully, to remove a terrorist leader who has committed crimes against the United State;

(5) as the threat from terrorism grows, America must continue to investigate effective ways to combat the menace posed by those who would murder American citizens simply to make a political point; and

(6) actions by the United States Government to remove such persons is a remedy which should be used sparingly and considered only after all other reasonable options have failed or are not available; however, this is an option our country must maintain for cases in which international threats cannot be eliminated by other means.

The link in the email was bad, and I felt a need to verify what I was reading, so I searched and found bill at a gov site.

Been lurking, I like what you've done with the place folks. Sorry to have my first post be political, but I was me last time I checked.
