Why would he?


Because soldiers weren't sent to invade a nation based on a fear of Saddam launching cheeseburgers at us, possibly?

Well.....

 Theoretically he very well could have launched a rare meat assault at the continental United States using those "Iraqi terror ships" he had at sea.
 Or a dirty burger attack on NY city delivered by his groundbeef capable drone aircraft that he had under development.

 And shirley we must all realise that if they hadn't done the preemptive thing the bastidge would certainly have attained some uncooked Liberian pork and within five years we'd have seen a bazillion dead in every major American city.

 And then the door would be wide open for their fleets to land thier army and marines and force our wives and daughters to wear burkas and face veils!

She was sitting about six rows from first lady Laura Bush and asked to leave. She argued with police in the hallway outside the House chamber.

"They said I was protesting," she told the St. Petersburg Times. "I said, "Read my shirt, it is not a protest.' They said, 'We consider that a protest.' I said, 'Then you are an idiot."'

Just think, by this time next year we might be able to get her on a felony, that would be cool!!!!, damn protesters!!!

It's possible yet not remotely probable, but if the Dems managed to change the course of the past few decades and gained control of the Senate, you can pretty much bet on an impeachment. ;)

why would "support our troops" on a t-shirt be considered a protest?

...a protest against what?

Actually it would be great.


I'm so sick and tired of people who think just because their right to free speech is protected that somehow that gives them the right to interrupt others.

Say what you want but by golly if someone else is having an event stay the hell out of it.

I don't really know, but anyone wearing a T-Shirt to the state of the union should have been ejected.  Maybe I'm old fashioned, (BS) but I don't think you should attend the State of the Union in person wearing a T-Shirt and Jeans.  If she wasn't wearing jeans well that's just bad fashion with a T-Shirt and slacks. :confused:

She was ejected for breaking the rules for wearing a shirt that made a politcal statement. The rules are clear, neither her nor Sheehan should have tried to make a politcal statement during the SOTU.

The difference is that even though both broke the SAME rule and both were ejected, only Sheehan was handcuffed and detained.

Well that was because Cindy refused to cover her shirt or leave. She was MADE to leave while Mrs. Young left on her own.

Plus Cindy was warned by Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider that such displays were not allowed in the House chamber.


Mrs. Young argued in the hallway but didn't put up a fight.

I had to turn it off about 1/4 of the way through... he wasn't making any kind of sense at all, kinda like he was just mumbling words out, allot of run on's and stuff that made NO sense at all... If I was that bad at public speaking I would have an aid read it on tv for me, I like the guys because he's flaky and that's what we need now, but man, he makes absolutely no sense when he's talking... he should just write it down and have someone else read it.... He was trying to say capitalistic last night and ended up saying canablistic instead about 3 different times LOL

Here's a quick recap on foreign oil:

1973

1975

1979

1987

1990

1994

2006



And congress response... Filibustered NWAR, by Democrats. Stop the building of refineries, (last built 1975) 150 down from 300 in 1972. Stop exploration in rocky mts./ gulf Mexico/ NW coast.

Are you sure that the proportion from the ME is as little as 1/5th? Also the real problem for America is its dependence on OPEC oil, and both Venezuela and Nigeria are members of OPEC.
