When a reporter asked the senator if he considered the address a campaign event, he said with a puzzled look: “As opposed to?” “It’s not a political rally,” he added. “Hopefully, it will be viewed as a substantive, articulation of the relationship I’d like to see between the United States and Europe. I’m hoping to communicate across the Atlantic the value of that relationship and how we need to build on it.”The entire text (added bonus pictures also from the Berlin Speech), to the Obama Berlin speech is down loadable at end of this narrative. mosesgunner Fri Jul 25 01:53:02 -0400 2008 US intelligence agents find what they later call a “treasure trove” of information in Noor Khan’s computers and documents. 747btrfly Thu Jul 24 21:26:52 -0400 2008 Nothing needs to be explained except the tags. 747btrfly Thu Jul 24 21:08:58 -0400 2008 FTP: "It may be coincidental. Or it may be the result of growing up with Hawaii's Pacific Rim influence. But Obama's management style resembles the classic Japanese model. And, at least historically, these haven't just been behaviors. They're living embodiments of a spiritual perception which says that all humanity -- all existence -- is interconnected and equal.

Bush last week -- capturing some embarrassing/revealing moments after, he noted, he had asked cameras to be turned off. 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 16:37:45 -0400 2008 FTP: "The Awakening began in Anbar Province more than a year before the surge and took off in the summer and fall of 2006 in Ramadi and elsewhere, long before extra U.S. forces started flowing into Iraq in February and March of 2007. ....This is not controversial history. It is history that anyone trying out for Commander in Chief must understand when there are 150,000 American troops stationed in Iraq. It is an absolutely essential element to the story of the past two years. YOU CANNOT GET THIS WRONG. Moreover, what is most disturbing is that according to McCain's inaccurate version of history, military force came first and solved all of our problems. If that is the lesson he takes from the Anbar Awakening, I am afraid it is the lesson he will apply to every other crisis he faces including, for example, Iran." BAHRAMERAD Wed Jul 23 12:19:15 -0400 2008 What a lot of loosers --- this is my suggestion --It is all very well for the IRI to spend money and get you to go and protest against WAR - which is a noble cause BUT - what do you say about this ---" Nine face stoning death in Iran - At least eight women and one man are reported to have been sentenced to death by stoning in Iran. -BBC 7/20/08 " - Would you like to go on the streets and protest about this bit of barbarism too?

In an interview with anchor Katie Couric, the Arizona Republican said, inaccurately, that the surge strategy was responsible for the much-touted "Anbar Awakening," in which Sunni sheiks turned against Al Qaeda, helping in turn to reduce violence in the country." 747btrfly Wed Jul 23 02:44:16 -0400 2008 FTP: Any change in the legal definition of human trafficking attacks the fundamental integrity of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) and will severely undermine our government's ability to battle what is now an international trade in children and women. Senators Biden and Brownback have taken a courageous stance to protect women from modern-day slavery. Their bill expands our country's commitment to protect vulnerable women and girls beyond the historic efforts to which our government dedicated itself with adoption of TVPA eight years ago.

It demonstrates his chilling commitment to fighting this war no matter what the people of America -- or Iraq -- want. 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 22:40:11 -0400 2008 FTP: "McCain said "Czechoslovakia" instead of the "Czech Republic" at another town hall today. But this time, he caught himself and offered a bit of self-mocking explanation. That makes it the third time in the past three weeks. " 747btrfly Tue Jul 22 22:31:03 -0400 2008 FTP: "Of course, at no point does the McCain campaign or anyone in the media point out what, exactly, is the danger to America if our closest allies actually, you know, don't hate us. They also fail to mention that along with being our allies, the European countries Obama is visiting are also democracies -- so it's a lot easier for their leaders to make nice with us if their constituents don't view our president as an object of disdain and ridicule." tdrusk Tue Jul 22 22:21:45 -0400 2008 Idiot thinks he understands everything about auto insurance and insurance in general.
