although I speak several languages and have my doctorate in Russian history.

Which is why, Jake, just like Condi, you believe that figuring out exactly which nation-state to smash, and smashing it, will solve all the world's problems. As we've seen, though, her resultant tin ear on non-state actors was a contributing factor to September 11th.

prunes: Don’t worry; be happy.

P.S. Kitt - sorry, but Mr. Greenwald has requested I only post once per page, so you will excuse me if I don’t waste that one post repeating myself to you multiple times over. Once you answer my question, in a civil manner, I will certainly return the same courtesy to you.

Listen, you little dickweed, if you don't have the brains to refute my points, then you could least have the class to admit I'm right. I've been nothing but civil, while you accuse me of terrorism and don't even give me the laaaaaame excuse you give Kitt.

If you don't at least attempt to present evidence the phone-tapping system works, this is tantamount to admitting you a) don't know what you're talking about, b) you're a flat-out liar, c) you're ennabling an attack on the American Constitution, d) you're the lamest, most pathetic sort of internet hot-shot, who talks big and has nothing in the sack to back it up.

If you really believed what you claim, you'd care enough to defend it. I think you don't even believe your own bs.

I think it's a safe assumption that the Bush administration's illegal domestic spying program was conceived and executed not to spy on terrorists, but to be used to gather dirt for political blackmail against political opponents and the press

I don't believe that. I think that shortly after 911, they felt it was necessary to pull out all the stops in order to not get caught with their pants down again. It was only after they put the programs in place, that their uselessness against terrorism but utility against critics became apparent.

that if we would enforce our immigration laws there would be a lot less domestic spying. The problem is that what would the Ag-lobby and the ethnic-lobby do? They need special rules because they are special people. Of corse we can't expect subruban housewife's to clean their own toilets now can we?

Mohammad Atta was pulled over for a trafic violation while his visa had expired. Had he been thrown into the back of the police cruiser handcuffed and deported at least one of the planes that attacked us on 911 would have been stopped and the

$ TRILLION we have subsequently wasted could have been spent elsewhere.

For $4 billion we could have a 2,000 mile fence with Mexico.

For $10 billion we could have secure drivers licenses by now but instead all we hear about is unfunded mandates. For another $5 billion ? we could make the basic pilot program mandatory and another $35 billion we could have secure biometric social security card so illegals could not work.

All of this is legal. With the money we save on schools, better jobs, bankrupt hospitals we could get a tax refund.

General Patton wanted to attack the Russians back when we had the chance too. The British also had a hypothetical contingency plan, called Operation Unthinkable, to destroy Stalin's government and drive the Red Army out of Europe. So, it's not just me and Condi, folks.

Hahaha..

excerpt of Aussie interview pre-Iraq invasion with Goofney:

http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2003/20030310_american_dreamers/int_gaffney.htm

JONATHAN HOLMES: So what do you say to the six to ten million people worldwide who were demonstrating last weekend essentially against war, against the possibility that a hundred thousand, who knows how many innocent Iraqi civilians would be killed in this process, but also were demonstrating against what they perceive as the unilateral arrogance of the United States arrogating to itself the right to decide about war and peace rather than leaving it to the Security Council?

FRANK GAFFNEY: I would say with due respect to those of them that are well meaning and genuinely peaceable not to be confused with a small minority that I believe are very illicitly anti American and have no more interest in world peace than they have in you know promoting American national interests, I would say to them I respectfully believe you're wrong and I believe that when you find, as you will I hope shortly, that the Iraqi people welcome the end of this horrible regime, even if it comes at some further expense to themselves, knowing as they do that the alternative is more of the horror that they've lived under for the past two or three decades. Ah you'll see I think an outpouring of appreciation for their liberation that will make what we saw in Afghanistan recently pale by comparison. You'll see, moreover, evidence in the files and the bunkers that become available to our military, evidence not only of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs and his future ambitions for their use perhaps and for aggression against his neighbours, but also I would be willing to bet evidence of his past complicity with acts of terror against the west, perhaps more generally but certainly against the United States which in turn I think will further vindicate the course of action that this president is courageously embarked upon.

That explains the nom de plume, Jake007. I can only imagine where that mail order sheepskin came from...
