Cruise missles by themselves do little....if they were so effective, troops would not be needed in places such as Afghanistan. But I cannot tell you, as apparently you have the Kool-Aid out again tonight.

as. I can only imagine your distress if Cheney were to become next President of the USA...I mean if you had to take 4 or 5 months to recuperate over the predictable loss of kery boy to the great G W Bush.... heck you could be gone forever to a quite place where you could rest and dream of kery. :-) Gamblers betting on a 'President Cheney' VP improves to 20-1 odds, while Michael Moore sits at 7,500-1 Posted: August 18, 2005 A large online gambling site has seen a significant rise in wagering on Vice President Dick Cheney as the likely winner of the 2008 race for the White House. According to the site Sportsbook.com, Cheney's odds improved from 100-1 in May to his current level of 20-1. The site says the veep's improving odds are the result of recent news reports covering the possibility Cheney may throw his hat in the ring, despite his consistent statements denying he's interested in the top job. The Washington Post's Bob Woodward said in a Colorado speech last week he expects Cheney will take a shot at the White House in three years, going against Democrat Sen. Hillary Clinton. "He would be 67 if he ran and was elected," Woodward said, according to a Denver Post account. "Reagan was 69. Republicans always like the old warhorse. … both parties like to nominate vice presidents. ... Cheney would do it, and I think it's highly likely, so stay tuned." While Cheney is moving up on the charts, two Republicans have better odds at Sportsbook.com – former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani at 10-1 and Arizona Sen. John McCain at 12-1. Among Democrats, Clinton remains the favorite, having improved from 6-1 to 7-2. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has gone from 15-1 to 25-1 odds, and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., sits at a 70-1 favorite from an opening line of 30-1. While John Edwards, Gov. Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich and others are in the middle of the pack, the gambling site offers odds on the following long shots: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger at 250-1, former President Bill Clinton at 300-1, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly at 750-1 and leftist filmmaker Michael Moore with the long odds of 7,500-1. "Wagering on the U.S. presidential election continues to evolve alongside the ever-changing world of American politics," said Alex Czajkowski, marketing director for Sportsbook.com, in a statement. "Bettors are very much in tune with media reports and analyses of potential presidential candidates." worldnetdaily.com

Thanks silly willy clinton. Terror vets gather in Bosnia By UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Published August 19, 2005 wpherald.com SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina -- Terrorists who previously targeted the United States are now in Bosnia, Cybercast News Service said Friday. Convicted terrorists are moving to Bosnia after being freed and they have access there to a "one-stop shop" of jihad training camps, weapons and illegal Islamic "charities" -- all at the doorstep of Europe, terrorism experts said according to the report, which was carried by the Assyrian International News Agency. "[Convicted terrorist] Karim Said Atmani recently returned to Bosnia after being released early from French prison for 'good behavior,'" terrorism expert and author Evan Kohlmann told CNS. Atmani, a Moroccan, was linked to the "millennium bomb plot" and convicted by a French court of colluding with Osama bin Laden. He has been linked to the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), an organization responsible for airplane hijackings and subway bombings in France, CNS said. Also finding haven in Bosnia is Abu el Maali, who like Atmani, was a foreign national who fought in the Bosnia war. El Maali was later accused by French authorities of attempting to smuggle explosives in 1998 to an Egyptian terrorist group plotting to destroy U.S. military installations in Germany. He was also accused of leading terrorist cells in Bosnia, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation (AHF), a charity that was later found by the U.S. Treasury to be underwriting terrorist operations including al-Qaida, shut its offices in Bosnia after the U.S. announcement but reopened under the name "Vazir." The new organization was registered as an "association for sport, culture and education," CNS said. Cybercast News Service has also obtained a video that terrorism analysts say depicts an active jihad training camp in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a region previously described by analysts as an ideal gateway for terror missions into Europe. The video shows outdoor maneuvers, explosives training and training inside what appears to be a school gym. Exercises in hostage-taking are also shown.
