Bush's speech writers were trying to save money, so they decided to recycle a BuSh speech from before the Invasion of Iraq. They decided to use the "Find-Replace" function and replace every "Q" with a "N" The old speech had said: Iraq has WMD Iraq is a threat to the USA Iraq has ties to Al-Qiada The new speech said: Iran has WMD Iran is a threat to the USA Iran has ties to Al-Niada

Gadgetlady: I was trying to find out why it happened (sentence vs crime). She hasn't said that she knows if there was a plea bargain or not. If she doesn't have all the information, fine. But I wasn't challanging her. I was questioning her to learn more. * Leatha: I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. But I was being inquisitive. I should have been a little more sensitive, but no ill will was intended.

It was mighty Christian of you to assume that I was ridiculing her because I tried to find out why such a gruesome crime only had a 7 year sentence.

You are reading questions as if they were statements. I am trying to figure out why the disparity between crime and sentence. If I was an authority on this case, I would not be asking you for more info, nor looking for more info. Google can find many stories of things that happened way before Google was around.

It is hard to be on both sides of an issue at the same time.:faint:

As I said, I wanted to understand how the crime could be so gruesome and the penalty so light. Though you have gone through Hell regarding this case, I still do not know the answer. I even tried to Google for an article about it, but had no luck. If it was a plea bargain, as I said, then maybe 7 years was better than no time at all. I doubt that if they have enough evidence to prove all that you said, that he would only get 7 years. My condolences.

He is the decider and when he decides to go to war, everyone suffers but him.

I didn't say you made it up. I am asking how you know these details to be true, yet the man only got 7 years. Could it be that there was not enough evidence for a conviction, so they plea bargained? People do not get the death penalty when there is a plea bargain. Without the plea bargain, the man might have gone free. Or did you hear what happened as per the police on TV and then at trial, it turned out that it was not quite what the police had said had happened? I would never insinuate that you would lie!!!

You do not have what you think you have. P4 is an Intel CPU and Athlon is a AMD PCU. You do not have both in your PC.

E-Pen got a poor rating

Only when I am too lazy to put my clothes back on.:rose:

It doesn't matter if I have daughters, sons, sisters, mothers, etc. Killing is wrong. Killing in the name of the state is wrong. There is, I suspect, something wrong with your story. If things happened as you wrote, I do not see how the sentence was 7 years. Are you sure that there is not some supposition in your story?:help:

I am going to start an organization called "Christians for War and Execution". Oh, there already is one and its called the "Conservative wing of the Republican party".:faint: I think that when Constantine (about 325 AD) declared that all Romans would become Christians, what may have happened is that (too) many Christians became Romans (in spirit).

It sometimes takes many years to find out that they are innocent, so would you rather have had them executed before being found innocent?

Europeans fear US attack on Iran as nuclear row intensifies · Transatlantic rift emerges over how to handle crisis · America builds up its naval forces in the Gulf Europeans fear US attack on Iran as nuclear row intensifies · Transatlantic rift emerges over how to handle crisis · America builds up its naval forces in the Gulf Ian Traynor in Brussels and Jonathan Steele Wednesday January 31, 2007 Senior European policy-makers are increasingly worried that the US administration will resort to air strikes against Iran to try to destroy its suspect nuclear programme. As transatlantic friction over how to deal with the Iranian impasse intensifies, there are fears in European capitals that the nuclear crisis could come to a head this year because of US frustration with Russian stalling tactics at the UN security council. "The clock is ticking," said one European official. "Military action has come back on to the table more seriously than before. The language in the US has changed." As the Americans continue their biggest naval build-up in the Gulf since the start of the Iraq war four years ago, a transatlantic rift is opening up on several important aspects of the Iran dispute. The Bush administration will shortly publish a dossier of charges of alleged Iranian subversion in Iraq. "Iran has steadily ramped up its activity in Iraq in the last three to four months. This applies to the scope and pace of their operations. You could call these brazen activities," a senior US official said in London yesterday. Although the Iranians were primarily in Shia areas, they were not confined to them, the US source said, implying that they had formed links with Sunni insurgents and were helping them with booby-trap bombs aimed at Iraqi and US forces, new versions of the "improvised explosive devices". Senior members of the US Congress have raised concerns that the US will attack Iran in retaliation for its alleged activities in Iraq. The official said there were no plans for "cross-border operations" from Iraq to Iran. But he said: "We don't want a progressively more confident and bolder Iran ... The perception that Iran is ascendant in the region and that there are no limits to what Iran can do - that's what is destabilising." The Americans and Europeans have sought to maintain a common front on the nuclear issue for the past 30 months, with the European troika of Britain, France and Germany running failed negotiations with the Iranians and the Americans tacitly supporting them. But diplomats in Brussels and those dealing with the dispute in Vienna say a fissure has opened up between the US and western Europe on three crucial aspects - the military option; how and how quickly to hit Iran with economic sanctions already decreed by the UN security council; and how to deal with Russian opposition to action against Iran through the security council. "There's anxiety everywhere you turn," said a diplomat familiar with the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna. "The Europeans are very concerned the shit could hit the fan." A US navy battle group of seven vessels was steaming towards the Gulf yesterday from the Red Sea, part of a deployment of 50 US ships, including two aircraft carriers, expected in the area in weeks. "No path is envisaged by the EU other than the UN path," the EU's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, told the Guardian yesterday. "The priority for all of us is that Iran complies with UN security council resolutions." The IAEA chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, called at the weekend for a "timeout" in the worsening confrontation in an attempt to enable both sides to save face and climb down. But the Americans rejected the proposal and European officials involved in the dispute also believe the Iranians cannot be trusted to stick to a deal. Despite recurring tensions on the Middle East between the US and France, the French are the most hawkish of the Europeans on Iran and are said to back a US drive to tighten the noose on Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The populist and recalcitrant leader is perceived to have been weakened recently, in part because of a mishandling of the nuclear row. "One group of western countries thinks it's a good time to step up the pressure on Ahmadinejad. All options are on the table. Others are worried we might be stumbling into a war," said another diplomat familiar with the dispute.

What was the Roman Numeral for Zero?

Does it count that I was an instructor for 3 years teaching aircraft maintenance to aircraft mechanics?

The slave owners had their way with the prettiest of the slaves as did the male sons of the slave owners, so many of the so-called Blacks or Afro-Americans or African-Americans are mixed race. Before I moved from Brooklyn, I lived in an area with a high percentage of Nigerians who were relatively new to the USA and were pure African.

BuSh was asked why he didn't listen to his father who wrote that it would be a mistake to take out Hussein (in the book "A World Transformed"). I heard and watched George W. BuSh say on National TV (WNBC) that when it come to war and politics, he takes advice from a "higher father".

An "eye for an eye" does not give permision to get even. It means no more than "eye for an eye". It is a limit on punishment, not a call for vengence.

How much money would be adequate to get to know people and then have them snatched away by the jaws of death over and over? Nursing home workers have a miserable job with miserable pay. Our whole remuneration system is screwed up. When I was an aircraft mechanic, I worked all the overtime I could get, sometimes doubling my yearly base, but one year, after losing a huge amount of money, my company hired the ex-CEO of All-State Insurance to be our new CEO. after 6 months of showing up about 5 hours a day, 3 days a week and with losses getting larger, they fired him, but he kept the money promised him for his three year contact and they gave him a severance package worth $3,000,000. All told, he received $7,000,000 for about 400 hours work or about $17,500 per hour. I made a little over a $1,000,000 for my almost 35 years.

Matthew 22:21 Jesus said “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s". Jesus said to follow the laws of Caesar, so why should I not compare BuSh to Caesar? And why not Hitler to Caesar. Caesar had more people killed per capita than Hitler.

Illinois Gov. George Ryan on Monday imposed a moratorium on the state's death penalty. All lethal injections will be postponed indefinitely pending an investigation into why more executions have been overturned than carried out since 1977, when Illinois reinstated capital punishment. "We have now freed more people than we have put to death under our system -- 13 people have been exonerated and 12 have been put to death," Ryan told CNN. "There is a flaw in the system, without question, and it needs to be studied."

And Caesar wasn't?

When I was a child, I was brought up by Roman Catholic parents (in name at least) and by fervent Pentecostal grandparents. My Catholic priest and the US Council of Bishops railed against war. My grandparent's Pentecostal ministers were against war and preached against it. But, during Ronald Reagan's term, I noticed that the Protestant clergy starting behaving in a very war-like manner. When Ronald Reagan was having a difficult time pushing his MX Missile program through congress, he asked Jerry Falwell to tell his associated ministers to preach the need for the MX from the pulpit during the Sunday sermons. They did at 1000's of churches. The Roman Catholic Council of Bishops condemned the MX Missile system, but enough pressure was put on congress by the Protestant lay people, that the MX was built and deployed (at great cost). When and why did the Protestant clergy become the protagonists of warfare? Would Jesus approve of the war-like stance of the Protestant clergy?
