I gave a impossibility now that will likely continue to be an
impossibility.

It's not a missing feature - it is blocked.

What I'm concerned about is what people can legally do with their own
computers. If there is an intentional block but that block is not a
copyright enforcement mechanism, a person can legally circumvent that block.
It therefore doesn't affect what a person can legally do with their own
computers. However, blocks that constitute a copyright enforcement scheme
cannot be lawfully circumvented (unless each indvidual does it all by
himself with no help from anyone else) in the United States because of the

You really have no clue - do you really think that he's out of touch

have a group of advisors to communicate with all over the country for
all sorts of subjects....

Going back to the white-house and flying over the areas doesn't do

Bush has a communications setup in Crwaford that enables him to chair
meeting with people all over the world. Everyone is on a tv screen and its
really no differnt from talking to them live.

So Bush could have responded as easily from Crawford as from the white
house. He did not respond quickly enough because he is not good at reacting
to new situaions. There is almost always a pause between when something
happens and when he starts to process it. But the problem is not the
communication set up, the problem is the speed of his internal respond time.

Bush’s record speaks for itself. His illegal war in Iraq. Wanting to reverse
Roe Vs Wade. Making up words to try to hide the fact that he can’t
articulate. (Although this just shows his inability to speak properly).
Ignoring basic human rights in America. ETC ETC.

Well, I was more referring to your actions. However..

..09/17/04 "ICH" -- During a BBC radio interview on Wednesday, UN Secretary
General Kofi Annan created a controversy by reiterating his long-held
position that the Iraq War was illegal because it breached the United
Nations Charter. On Thursday, the imperial leaders of the "Coalition of the
Willing" retaliated by vehemently arguing that their Iraq War was, to the
contrary, legal. http://www.informationclearinghouse....rticle6917.htm

Was Voe v Wade legal in the first place? Is there anything in the
Constitution granting congress the right to kill the unborn in the first
place?

Want to give examples of your other two allegations?

Who cares? Iraq is the stupidest move by a President, since "Read My
Lips." It's even dumber than the stained blue dress since the only
person really hurt that didn't deserve it was Hillary.

The moment our troops leave Iraq, the Iraqi Civil War ratchets up into
high gear. The last helicopters to leave from the US embassy will be
under fire, just like Vietnam. The only difference between Vietnam and
Iraq will be that we won't be able to blame the French for getting
involved with Iraq.


Was Voe v Wade legal in the first place?

Yes. It is still legal precedent. It is a peculiar part of our gov't,
but when 5 or more members of the Supreme Court agree on something, that
something is legal, in every sense of the word.

Is there anything in the
Constitution granting congress the right to kill the unborn in the
first place? snip

Wrong way to look at it. Does the Constitution specifically grant a
bundle of stem cells growing in a woman's womb any rights at all?
Obviously not.

While the President can order a small military action at will, he is
limited by the Budget for the Department of Offense [misnamed the DOD or
dept of defense].

Any long term involvement HAS to be financed by the us congress, ie the
body that controls spending. If congress did not approve the last
several 100 billion dollars to invade iraq, the invasion would not have
occured.

And had Bush told congress the truth, the funds would have never been

So who was it that was doing the lying? Allow me to quote:

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to
develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That
is our bottom line."
President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We
want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass
destruction program."
President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest
security threat we face."
Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times
since 1983."
Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S.
Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate,
air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to
the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction
programs."
Letter to President Clinton, signed by:
Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9,
1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he
has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process."
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies."
Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons
programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs
continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam
continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a
licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten
the United States and our allies."
Letter to President Bush, Signed by:
Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate
of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e
means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical
weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to
deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in
power."
Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing
weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to
build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence
reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..."
Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"When I vote to give the President of the United States the authority to use
force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam Hussein, it is because I believe that
a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a threat,
and a grave threat, to our security and that of our allies in the Persian
Gulf region."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively
to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the
next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated
the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every
significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his
chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has
refused to do"
Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that
Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons
stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also
given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members
.... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will
continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare,
and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam
Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for
the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to
miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction
.... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is
real..."
Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003


"I think that we were right to go. I think we were right to go to the United
Nations. I think we couldn’t let those who could veto in the Security
Council hold us hostage.

And I think Saddam Hussein, being gone is good. Good for the American
people, good for the security of that region of the world, and good for the
Iraqi people."
Sen. John Edwards (D, NC), Oct. 13. 2003
