Here are some > of the quotes the US media is pulling out and hailing as leadership: One thing I noticed last Tuesday (Early Wednesday for them) was that Afghanistan started to get bombed and it hit the News quickly - but then there was a total 'black out'. (Or I missed something). It wasn't American Forces hitting them but nothing I saw said this (publicly) - yet the US News suddenly stopped mentioning it and moved on... Someone pulled the Media strings. This you quote from media: > "When I take action," he said, '[George W. Bush]' "I'm not going to fire a $2 > million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. > It's going to be decisive." If it happens I will be very impressed.. I'm sure that many 'tents' conceal underground installations so,, I think a few Camels will be hurt along the way,, whilst aiming to hit the right 'tents'. Personally - I don't care about George W. Bush (as a person). I care about a Nation that is leading people in a direction for their own good and well-being.. If that persona is the Media,, Presidential puppets,, or Joe Bloggs in the street (or the President),, it does not matter to me (as long as they are not deceiving anyone within their Nation, or the Nation's aims for the good of the Country). I'm a Brit residing in the US. I may have different views on Politics, but Human Rights, Good and Evil, Right from Wrong - I do know where I stand,, and I hope my home Country will go all the way to support whatever that guy aims for,,, What's his name?? Oh - George W. Bush.. That's him :-) Best Regards - Ian ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Get VeriSign's FREE GUIDE: "Securing Your Web Site for Business."
