You are surprised? You shouldn't be.You would think even the liberals would have some shame. I love how they think the President can just snap his fingers and everyone just jumps. Get a clue. | |

| Re: Providers-Ding Ding winner You set policy that encourages widespread adoption... IF the FCC can do this with HDTV, then the president can push for the same with fiber deployment.. Political Affiliation has nothing to do with this, it's a matter of personal importance.
FYI there's a lot of things Bush could careless about, border security, fuel efficiency, the environment, the deficit.. Does a lack of a national broadband development initiative really surprise you..? Sure doesn't surprise me.. | |

Johnson City, TN | Re: Providers-Ding Ding winner At least the FCC has something to do with HDTV.
The president has almost nothing to do with broadband...
It's the FCC who should be doing something about it. | |

| maybe they are just treating him with the same respect he's treating them with? not to mention the whole iraq thing "horrible intel" "no wmd" etc ..... its pretty worn out but its still very valid...... having some country that can invade countries at will scares me alot more than terrorism  | |

Like we're some colonial power, like britan was and just go and invade for no other reason than to flex our muscles, or, to take slaves. Fact is, The whole world believed there were weapons on mass destruction in Iraq, largely because Saddam used them to wipe out whole towns of Kurds in a most horrible way.
It would be one thing if President bush had just invaded on his own, but the inconvenient fact is that he didn't. The UN authorized it, as did congress, because the evidence presented by many CREDIBLE intelligence agencies of many nations said Saddam had WMD. It was not something just cooked up for an excuse to go to war as the democrats would have us believe.
And, as far as being a country that c"can invade countries at will"-As if that were ever a true statement about the US-My question is: What point is there to being the single "super power" in the world if we are too much of a pansy as a society to look out after our interesta in the world? To not do so invites disaster. No matter how you slice it, we would have had to deal with these Islamic extremists sooner or later, as well as the situation in the middle east, since, like it or not, the industrialized world (not just the US) is stupidly dependent on oil supplies. We simply can not have a bunch of oil Sheiks dictating to us, or,holding the world economy (or our economy for that matter) hostage
And, you HAVE noticed how the countries in that region have begun to see the light after we did some ass whipping in the region? They were over there cowering from Saddam who had the largest military there because they knew he would use it, given the chance. They thought the us was weak, yet we kicked Saddams ass in what... 2 weeks?
We will come to find in coming years that we did the right thing and will be damn glad we did. | |
