the pro-american twins in poland lost power yesterday and the people of Poland have said in this election that they dont want american bases in their country.
The people in the czech republic will oust their government if they
bend over to the yanks.
Most people in europe and the rest of the world dont believe bushes threats
that iran is trying to make nukes or wmd it sounds a bit too familiar.
The boy who cried wolfowitz is at work again.

I wonder how long Gates remains Sec-DefOct 23rd, 2007 - 22:57:22

(Must be distracting, having John Bolton chewing on your leg. I doubt that Putin will even go along with this modification, unless we find a way to also include the bases that Putin offered.

'American officials have spent months trying to cope diplomatically with bitter opposition to the missile defense plan from Moscow, which sees the American missile facilities as a potential threat. One Russian official even warned of aiming strategic missiles at European targets in response. Relations between the United States and Russia seemed headed for a post-Cold War low.')

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 — Defense Secretary Robert Gates, clearly seeking to mollify Moscow, said today that the United States might delay activating its planned East European missile defense sites, even as President Bush pleaded vigorously with Congress to fully finance the sites, which he said would meet an “urgent” need for European missile defense.

Mr. Gates’s remarks, which enlarged on recent comments by other American officials, came during a news conference in Prague with Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek of the Czech Republic.

The defense secretary said that the American antimissile system might not be activated until Iran took some concrete action, such as testing its own missiles.

And we are suppose to believe him this time? There is no urgency unless the fact that there will be a new administration in a year that may be able to figure out how to tell the truth, that may be the urgency.

Europe didn't need to be defended for 61 years.Oct 24th, 2007 - 06:38:19

After all, it was Truman, who invented the Cold War by making the USSR (i.e. Joe Stalin) jittery. The Russians then really clamped down, worried about their own security, which prompted the Unscrupulous States of America to then proclaim that they had to contain the Soviet ''threat''.

Now history repeats itself, because what worked once may work again -- but Putin is not Stalin. :o) And Europeans have become wiser as well.
Putin already threatened a new arms race, because Russia's coffers are full and the Unscrupulous States of America are bankrupt (US dollar is overvalued beyond imagination). Soon Americans will get the feel how life is, to be on the receiving side.

Let's first wait out the ass-kicking the US receives in Afghanistan and Iraq, especially after they will also have pissed off Iran (the two carrier forces are sitting ducks in the Persian Gulf).

The thought of a life without the Unnecessary States of America is rather invigorating, especially for the Third World ...

... and I get this gleam in my eyes. ;o)

To the previous poster;you have no idea how most people in the USA are ar odds with their president .Do bot forget the american people are the principal victim of this administration ,as it is their money that is being transferred to the bank accounts of the military industrial complex .Some of these corporate crooks rely entirely on the federal government for their profits;like Blackwater,Dyncorps,Raytheon and a few others .They don't even care to have a decent accountancy anymore,the money is coming in so fast that the pen pushers can handle it no more and the books are either cooked or lagging behind .Also remember Al Gore was elected as the president if it were not for the indirect voting system which offered victory to Bush .
Without the american people there is simply no solution to any problem in this world .Problem is they are being spoon fed whatever the big companies wish them to believe,thanks to the powerful grip of Rupert Murdoch on their media .How reliable is Fox networks ,after having several court cases won with the arguments that they don't even have an obligation to tell the truth ?Meanwhile California is in a state of shock due to the gigantic fires consuming lives and properties .These are unprecedented but not unforeseen .I just hope our american friends will realize that they have been led by the nose by all those claiming climate change is just a joke from the world community of scientists .
