Death Records Now

International affairs:

The world and the USA believes Cuba "has at least a limited offensive biological warfare" program and may be transferring its expertise to other countries hostile to the United States. We are concerned that such technology could support biological warfare programs in those states. Cuba might be attempting to develop weapons of mass destruction.
The State Department’s top nonproliferation official, called on Cuba to cease transfers of biological weapons technology to "rogue states and to fully comply with all of its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention." this remarks were prepared for delivery to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group. For four decades Cuba has maintained a well-developed and sophisticated biomedical industry, supported until 1990 by the Soviet Union. This industry is one of the most advanced in Latin America, and leads in the production of pharmaceuticals and vaccines that are sold worldwide. Analysts and Cuban defectors have long cast suspicion on the activities conducted in these biomedical facilities.
Secret Intelligence sources reported and concluded that Cuba might represent a significant military threat to the United States or the region. Cuba is part of Axis of Evil.

Fidel Castro cooperated with Iraq’s Saddam Hussein in an active chemical and biological weapons program. The report originated in Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter published by WorldNetDaily. Some intelligence analysts believe Castro may have unleashed that program on the U.S. in the form of West Nile Virus.
West Nile was first identified in New York City in 1999. By the end of 2002, there were 4,156 laboratory-diagnosed human cases and 284 deaths, the largest arboviral meningo-encephalitis outbreak ever recorded in North America,

To conduct a bacteriological attack, a country or a terrorist group does not need to have any sophisticated means of delivery, such as a missile. A container the size of a five-pound sugar bag can bring bacteriological materials capable of causing over 50,000 casualties in an urban area, depending on the flow.

Communist Cuba is a threat to U.S. National Security.

Department of Defense remains vigilant.

Miami and Cuba are in the watch list.

Cuba is indeed a threat to America and Mexico, and Canada.
Probably not a threat for Venezuela.
Cuba must be disarmed, democratized and liberated.
Communist ideologies are spreading across Florida, and narco-terrorism is spreading across the hemisphere. Cuba is part of axis of evil.

PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."

THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.

PALIN is ridiculous. If your against gay marriage, abortion, and teaching evolution in schools then by all means VOTE FOR McCain. When he gets nabbed and is tortured to death, (Like PALIN seems to be implying, by talking so much about his success in the POW camp), then she will be our next PREZ!! I DO NOT understand how his ability to withstand interrogation and torture have ANYTHING to do with being president!!! When will people realize that being "tough on terrorism" is NOT WHAT WE NEED. We need someone who is diplomatic and has new, REAL ideas for bringing this country out of the hole George W. has been digging us in ever since Clinton left office. And as for teaching evolution in schools…give me a fucking break!!! OH, YEAH fossils are the handiwork of the devil!! Science speaks for itself. Don’t read the bible like a fucking history book idiots!!

I just don’t understand why the Americans liked to be lied to, it amazes me.

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere."

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a "bridge to nowhere."

PALIN: "There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate."

He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.

PALIN: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars."

THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama’s plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain’s plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.

Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.

He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.
Jay – Ah yes the middle class who Obama is standing for when he talks about cutting taxes. The tax cuts on the rich right now would be dropped because they are being under taxed because of those cuts so we as a government are losing money.

Oh and the number is 37 Bills That Barack Obama Has Written or Co-Sponsored in Just 2 Years in the US Senate.

She couldn’t get the money out of Washington for the bridge so she then said no thanks to it after fighting for it for so long.

FACTS I NEED FACTS, not conservative spin!! PLEASE!!!
polfanatic – yes you are correct but that is the point as those "small" businesses and people making over $250K are getting tax breaks right now from BUSH which means they are paying less then they should be….he is bringing it back to where it was so we are not losing money….So where is the problem?
McCain ’08 – You fail to realize that maybe his benefit is for the citizens to feel good about their country and feel like they are a part of a system that actually cares. Conservatives like to spin this so much that I don’t think they even care anymore, just as long as they get paid.
Tascha – She was put on the ticket to get people talking after Obama’s historic stadium speech. But keep in mind the taxes for people making over $250K, their taxes will go back to where they were before BUSH’s tax cuts. Technically that is not going up for them, it is just going back to where it was. Why don’t people understand that?

Because she was only put on the ticket to be an attack dog. She has no real substance wow she was mayor for 20 months and popped out 5 kids… Every speech Ive viewed her in she’s lied cant wait till the debates Biden is going to put her on blast! The one lie that really bothers me the most is when she says Obama is going to raise taxes that’s not what he said he said anyone that gets paid over 250,000 a year will get their taxes raised. (aka) upper class not lower or middle class.

Here’s a list of what seem to be lies and distortions, what do you think?:

PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere."

Yes…she totally lied. Especially about that bridge to nowhere…she was SO behind it until it became an embarrassment. I guess she was for it before she was against it?

Attacks, praise stretch truth at GOP convention

By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth.

Some examples:
PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere."
THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million.

MCCAIN: "She’s been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America’s energy supply … She’s responsible for 20 percent of the nation’s energy supply. I’m entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America," he said in an interview with ABC News’ Charles Gibson.
THE FACTS: McCain’s phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she’s no more "responsible" for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population.
MCCAIN: "She’s the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities," he said on ABC.
THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under "federal status," which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska’s national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.
FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin "got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States."
THE FACTS: A whopper. Pali

Patrick…..I didn’t realize the AP worked for Obama…..thanks for the info.

Huckabee was being humorous, but you Obama sheep know nothing about that.

Still, not one lie you can point out. This article is also full of misleading crap, must be an Obama talking points article. I guess you all were e-mailed it this morning and told to cut and paste it to your blogs.

Bunch of sheep.

NObama 08 or ever

I heard both speeches and then read some news articles and trying to figure out why they seem to blantantly lie..Is this true?

Palin’s speech:

PALIN: “I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.”

McCain’s speech:

MCCAIN: "We lost their trust when instead of freeing ourselves from a dangerous dependence on foreign oil, both parties and Senator Obama passed another corporate welfare bill for oil companies. We lost their trust, when we valued our power over our principles."

THE FACTS: Yes, Obama voted for a 2005 energy bill backed by Bush that included billions in subsidies for oil and natu
natural gas production. McCain opposed the bill on grounds it included unnecessary tax breaks for the oil industry. But Obama has said he supported the legislation because it provided money for renewable energy. Obama did vote for an effort to strip the legislation of the oil and gas industry tax breaks. When that failed, he voted for the overall measure.

MCCAIN: "When a public school fails to meet its obligations to students, parents deserve a choice in the education of their children. And I intend to give it to them. Some may choose a better public school. Some may choose a private one. Many will choose a charter school. But they will have that choice and their children will have that opportunity."

THE FACTS: Despite his goal of giving parents choice in the schools their children attend, he is not proposing a federal voucher program that would provide public money for private school tuition.

Yes, they did lie. Neither one seems to get it that with the super highway it’s easy to cross-check this stuff. McCain barely knows how to use email so to him the internet is beyond his grasp. I don’t know what her excuse is.

I think is the other way!
If they are so powerful, yhat 0.1% couldn’t be afraid of communism! because communism does not exist! and they know it!
They might be afraid of losing drug trade profits that they make, thanks to the simulation of communism in islands used as jump boards for cocaine smugglers in Florida.

No,

The reason that you hear so much negative propaganda about Cuba is because the wealthy 0.1% of the US population controls 99.9% of our wealth is afraid of communism.

oh yeah, sorry,

The Controversy of Iraq Invasion

also, I’m a registered republican, have been for the 12 years I’ve been legally allowed to vote and no, I have 2 children, live in my own house and hope that they grow up in a country that demands personal responsibility from its citizens AND government. Now we’re just a bunch of tools. hmm… being a tool… that should be impeachable…

oh yeah, I stopped wearing my tin foil hat ever since I realized that it couldn’t stop major league baseball from reading my inner most thoughts.

The Simpsons, people… watch it.

1) The President was authorized to use force in Iraq by the Congress, even though, contrary to your assumption, there is no Constitutional restriction on use of force at the President’s discretion. The Constitution only requires that war can only be declared by Congress.

2) The President relied on sources deemed reliable by all parties who had reviewed the evidence, including most of the Democrats who are now saying that he lied, and former President Clinton. Any falsities in his rationale were not his fault, nor his administration directly.

3) The first two point have no basis. I have seen no evidence where direct attacks on civilians were ordered by the President or Vice President. As for the third, there are times in war where military targets of significance must be destroyed for the sake of protecting your military forces. If civilian casualties are unavoidable, you can only take measures to minimize civilian casualties, which our military strives to do.

4) This type of activity happened all the time during the cold war (see the newly released CIA information), and while it may not be legal, there are arguments that it actually IS ethical, because information could be gathered that could save thousands of lives, while they have no real impact on the lives of the majority of the people that they listen in on. It’s an invasion of privacy, but almost every President since Lincoln should have been impeached if it is an impeachable offense.

5) Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, and it has been our nation’s policy since 1917, when we entered World War I, to take action to remove or contain dictators who have threatened or acted aggressively towards us or our allies. Saddam Hussein paid the families of Palestinian homicide bombers, and therefore was a sponsor of terrorism against an Ally (Israel). What was President Clinton’s rationale for removing Milosevic from power in Bosnia? He had not even threatened our allies, and was nothing of a threat to the U.S., yet I would venture that you would not use that as a reason for wanting to impeach him.

6) Unfortunately, torture is relative, and what some may consider torture is not considered torture by others. What many of the prisoners describe as torture-urination on copies of the koran, playing country music in the prison, stripping them, etc.-are no more than playground bully tactics grown up. That doesn’t mean that they are right, but if it happened on a playground, you wouldn’t call it torture, you would say it was mean. So? It’s not like we administer the death of a thousand cuts… As far as the assassinations, executions, kidnappings, etc. I don’t know where you’ve come up with these accusations.

7) The "false information" was corraborated by a plethora of agencies and intelligence individuals, both of our nation, and of other nations, from Israel to Iran, Great Britain, and Turkey. There is little doubt that Saddam was making efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. He had even used them in the past (1980s against the Kurds, and against Iran, and in 1991 against U.S. troops). He had made it very clear from his own speeches that once he had WMDs, he fully intended to use them against Israel, and if he could, the United States.

8) The United Nations Charter and International Law are NOT in any way, shape, or form, part of the Constitutional Supreme Law of the Land. We are a fully sovereign and independent nation, with the full authority to act within our own policies and direction, just as any other nation within the United Nations. The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, and the Constitution alone. The U.N. is merely a place where nations, even those at war, can come together peacefully to discuss direction and ideas. But, their resolutions and decisions are in no way binding. They are merely intended to aid in the interactions between nations, and, where possible, to communicate international will.

9) There are no public cases where U.S. citizens have been detained without reason or counsel. While foreign enemies have been detained without counsel, and without appearing before civil courts, in any case where the combatants were citizens of the U.S., or one of our close Allies, they were remanded to the authority of the appropriate national civil court system.

10) To my knowledge, there is no restriction on the detention of prisoners of war, as long as the conflict continues. There were prisoners taken in World War II, who were prisoners for the entire war, and were not released until it was over. The administration has the authority to detain enemy combatants until they are no longer deemed a threat to our nation and our military, or our allies.

11-13) See above. As enemy combatants, there are very few rights that they have, beyond humane treatment under the Geneva Conventions, which our prisoners receive. Can you give evidence of summary executions of prisoners following tribunals? I have not heard of this until now.

14-15) What evidence do you have of these secret arrests? I believe that much of these accusations are conjured up out of fear about what the PATRIOT Act allows… For the issue of eavesdropping, see my response to number 4.

16) The seizure of assets is not automatic, and it only applies to assets being transferred to the "terrorist" organization. Any lawful activities are not restricted. If, through due process, the organization is able to prove that it is not tied to terrorism, the parties can pursue legal routes to have their assets restored. This type of thing happened often in the 1920s-1930s with people dealing with the Mafia, the 1940s with Nazi and Japanese sympathizers, the 1960s-1980s with Communist sympathizers, etc. It is not a new practice, and is not illegal.

17) The FEMA is not responsible for being the first responding agency to a local natural disaster, and they typically don’t get to one until a week, or so, after the disaster strikes. The local and state authorities are responsible for responding, and establishing a working support system in the early stages of an emergency. The President declared it a disaster area, freeing up federal funding, right after Katrina hit, which is his sole responsibility in disasters. There is no case for any criminal neglect by the President in this case. If you are looking for neglect, you will find it in the Governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans, who took three days to ask for federal funding, even after it was made available by the President.

18) I think that you’re way too caught up in this spying thing. You may notice that most of the people who want to kill us all are not Christians, or Jews, or even Athiests… There is a reason that profiling is used, if you stop and think about it. Do you know of any little old Christian ladies who have strapped bombs on themselves to blow people up? No. Almost all of those terrorist activities are carried out by members of radical political groups (Timothy McVeigh, Japan subway gassing), or radical Islamic fundamentalists (Sept. 11, the Madrid Bombings, London bombings, Israel suicide bombings, etc.).

19) Most of these documents are protected by Executive Privilege (a legal concept that has long been upheld). Aside from that, if you are overseeing a project, you don’t have to have access to every e-mail, phone conversation, memo, etc., to know if the job is being done. You look at the results. Documents only need to be released when there is illegal activity going on. They don’t need them just to address accusations of botched policies.

20) Finally, the constitution is silent on the procedure for withdrawing from a treaty, and as such, there is much latitude in how a president decides to go about withdrawing from them. Many presidents chose to go about doing so with the consent of both houses of Congress, some chose to do so on the advice of the Senate alone, and still others took it upon themselves to withdraw from them. There is no Constitutional violation in doing so.

In summary, if you really take a step back and look at the accusations that are being leveled at the President in an attempt to justify impeachment, they are weak, at best, and don’t really hold any water. Most of them are not violations of any law, and almost all of them have been accepted Executive practice for decades.
