Montgomery Burns

hmmmm. thinking....thinking.......ummm - YES! you're right! George W. Bush, former owner of the Texas Rangers baseball franchise, and Dick Cheney, fomer president & CEO of Halliburton, and their friends hatched a brilliant scheme to blow up the two most recognized american buildings and kill thousands of innocent americans. Meanwhile the nutjob militant islamists who continue to self-detonate on an almost nightly basis even today are actually the PAWNS in the American scheme to kill innocent jews and americans. Sounds plausible to me You forgot to mention the Evil Dark Lord (Karl Rove) and the Halliburtonistas--who are controlled by those Evil Zionist Jews! If you're going to have a conspiracy theory (something Nocrap enjoys), then you might as well go all the way!

Clearly the chairman has not read his own report.Read "Chapter 2 - The Foundation of the New Terrorism" and you will see no reference to collaboration between Iraq and Al Qaeda. In fact, the commission confirms that Bin Laden and Hussein were enemies working against each other. Ironically, the 9-11 report details extensive collaboration between the gov't of Sudan and Al Qaeda which confirms that the Bush administration's obsession with Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror. If 'regime change' was really necessary to stop terrorism then it should have started with Sudan - not Iraq. Umm. I did read Chapter 2. I suggest you do the same. Or does the name Abdul Rahman Yasin (the Al Qaeda terrorist - wanted by the Clinton administration for his complicity in the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack - mean nothing to you? It's in the damn 9-11 report, ffs! The same Yasin who fled to Iraq after mixing the chemicals in the World Trade Center attack and was given housing and a monthly salary by Saddam. Wtf, do you get all your news from the NY Times and the CBC? Indeed it makes sense. Both Al Qaeda and Saddam were religious zealots (as we've seen in the recently released Iraq documents, not to mention Saddam changing the Iraq flag to put the words Allah Akbar on it). The 9-11 commission did not conclude that Iraq and Al Qaeda were enemies. Read the report instead of gobbling down NY Times/CBC headlines. Good grief. There are numerous incidents of Al Qaeda and Iraq links. Your claim that Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terror is utterly asinine. There are photos of Saddam's cheques to displaced Arab (MSM calls them Palestinians) all over the bloody internet! Zarqawi fled to Iraq after Afghanistan fell and was treated for an injury at Baghdad's Olympic hospital, a hospital run by Uday Hussein. Have you forgotten Christopher Hitchens bitch-slapping of Ronald Reagan, Jr on TV: As 9/11 Commission Vice-Chairman (and former Democratic Congressman) Lee Hamiliton stated in comments that were largely ignored because they didn't fit the anti-war storyline some people were pushing: While there may not be slam dunk evidence that Saddam and Al Qaeda cooperated together in attacks on the US, the evidence that Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al-Qaeda worked together is absolutely undeniable! Only someone with their head stuck up their rear-end would deny this. From former CIA Director George Tenet in a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee on October 7, 2002: And from Richard Miniter: And from Weekly Standard bulldog columnist Stephen Hayes: I am getting sick and tired of constantly typing and copying and pasting this stuff week after week after week on this forum! :angry: Is there extensive evidence that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda worked together to hit targets in the US? No. But, is there extensive evidence that they had ties and worked together at times? Absolutely. There's the old refrain that liberalism is a mental disorder. I always chuckled at that claim, but thought that was taking things too far. However after seeing some of the writings from people on this forum, I am starting to think that it is true!

The Liberal Party of Toronto: Runs to take a shower after linking to the Toronto Star...

Grits back Torys on Afghanistan; now reject call for "vote" Perhaps the Liberals are feeling pangs of guilt after today's story about our troops having to buy their own equipment because the Liberal Party has inadequately equipped them. Or is it guilt pangs because of the crap subs they bought that killed Canadian seaman Lieut. Chris Saunders (God Bless him), a husband and father of two? Bastards! :angry: An adequate military is very important; far more important than some stupid wasteful govt-run daycare program or a $2 million, oops, $2 billion gun registry program. I've always felt that govt's #1 role is to protect its citizens from its enemies. And I don't want to hear any of that naive utopian crap that Islamic terrorists won't bother us because we are so well-liked in the world! OBL even named Canada on his 5 country hitlist. We are the type of society that they despise. Our men and women of the military are some of the most rugged toughest individuals in the world. The very least we can do is adequately equip them. And support them instead of "debating" their mission repeatedly. What is there to debate? If we run from Afghanistan, what kind of message does that send to the Islamonazis? What kind of message does that send to the long-suffering people of Afghanistan? What kind of message does that send to our allies? That.is.all.

You mean, up to the opportunistic party leaders who are already getting ready for the next election? You engage in your partisan nitwittery. I'll watch out for Canada and her troops. Stop the charade Gerry. You are far more concerned about the "rights" of terrorists than you are the brave men and women who defend Canada's freedom.

Although the Canadian Press is pouting and refuses to go in-depth about today's ruling, the Vancouver Sun does: Ya think he's talking about Belinda Stronach and Paul Martin? Just askin'.

Army Guy: But the Geneva Convention do not identify terrorists as legal combatants. While the third Geneva Convention's definitions of prisoners of war are broad, it clearly doesn't include terrorists.

And this is the result of the right being in power: http://www.iraqbodycount.net/ + 2318 American soldiers dead and 16653 wounded. And how about that "free" Iraq. Care to walk down a street in Baghdad? This is what the left wanted to continue: 300 mass graves filled with hundreds of thousands of Iraqis As for walking down a street in Baghdad...why not? The streets are bustling with activity and the traffic cops are wearing shirts with neckties; no bulletproof vests. Drop the CBC and read some Iraqi blogs.

I think Black Dog has managed to catch you on that same thing on more that one occasion. Watch out Monty, read your own posts I think you are wrong. I read the links. Not just the biased headlines like many do on this forum. Look at Gerryhatrick dropping a link that had nothing to do with his claim. That is a common tactic by the left and we are on to it.

Wow! Just like Nazi Germany.

Ashley MacIsaac to run for Liberal Party leadership of Canada Oh great. More of those "Canadian values" that Paul Martin was talking about. The drug-addled MacIsaac who enjoys kinky sex acts involving urination with his 16 y/o boyfriend--15 y/o boyfriend according to this article. Additionally, MacIsaac declared bankruptcy. So we know he is not fiscally conservative. Sounds like the perfect liberal candidate.

Good ole liberal Holland. Would-be immigrants must watch a video of 2 men kissing in a park. If they can't stomach it, then no need for said immigrants to apply. Unless they are from a country like Iran. Then they don't have to watch the video of 2 men kissing. Or if they make a minimum of $54,000/year (typical greedy socialists).

Ontario tax dollars at work "Squirreled" away. Perhaps this is another example of those "Canadian values" that Paul Martin was yammering about during the election...

Ethics commissioner clears Harper of conflict over Emerson party switching I hope Greg doesn't give me heck for posting this entire article. Yes, that is the entire article.

Another example of what happens when you have cold heartless bureaucrats looking after your children: 2 Quebec daycare workers fired for closing up shop and forgetting about toddler locked inside

Transcript of the Mary Mapes versus Dan Rather case on Judge Judy.

Will Afghanistan children be beaten to death by our Canadian soldiers? Will there be any assurances that this will not happen again a la Somalia? Supporting the troops means bashing and portraying them as dumb brainwashed bloodthirsty killers who deliberately target civilians, because as we have been recently told, "dissent is patriotic".

The embarrassing thing about the clubbing and skinning alive of baby harp seals is that the Canadian govt pays for this. And when the sealers went over their quota by slaughtering 30,000 more baby seals, the Canadian govt merely upped their quota. And who could ever forget National Resources Minister John Efford boasting (during his first cabinet meeting in Dec/2003) while flaunting a thigh length seal coat, "I think it's a great industry in Newfoundland. I've promoted it for years and years." And in the Newfoundland House of Assembly on May 4, 1998, Efford cruelly stated, "I would like to see the six million seals, or whatever number is out there, killed and sold, or destroyed or burned. I do not care what happens to them. The more they kill, the better I will love it."

Newbie, don't click this link. I don't want you to go blind! Captured documents in Iraq show Saddam Hussein provided financial support to Abu Sayyaf, the al Qaeda-linked jihadist group founded by Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law in the Philippines in the late 1990s

Uh, could be because the 9/11 Commission released a report saying that there was no "collaborative relationship" between Al Qaeda and Iraq. I'll take the commission's view over this looney judge who claimed Saddam was behind 911. Even Dubya quit going there. Chairman Thomas Kean said the day the 9-11 report was released: "There was no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida." I'll take the word of a judge who listened to evidence over the discredited NY Times.

Nocrap: My 3 examples of French rioting occurred in the last 2 years. You gave one US example from 14 years ago. Can you give us some more recent examples of the "many race riots in the US"?

August1991: This has to be one of the most bizarre statements I have ever seen. Do you even know what GDP is? That is one of the first things I learned in Macro Economics. With France having a 50% higher unemployment rate, and GDP growth half of Canada's, I think the answer is quite obvious. Let me know when 1 to 2% of the total Canadian or American population is rioting. Being unable to work more than 35 hours/week is a vibrant democracy? Massive regulations put on businesses is a vibrant democracy? Being unable to lay off or fire workers is a vibrant democracy? Being forced to pay for state-run news sources is a sign of a vibrant democracy? Er, scratch that last one. Rioting for a month straight is my idea of childish hooliganism. I'm not sure, but I suspect it is the opposite since the World FactBook updates their figures quicker than the OECD. That being said, I have no problems with the OECD; I consider them to be credible.

Canadian GDP per capita (taking into account the cost of living) is 31,800$ and in France it's 29000$. In the US, it is 39,700$. OECD I frankly don't see a big difference, except that we and the French are perhaps not as rich as the Americans, on average. ---- This is just a Parisian demo. I think the riots last year were more serious, but also very isolated. I generally find international news reports in Canada (and this includes the CBC in particular) to show that outside world as dangerous and bad whereas Canada is civilized and nice. Canadian news also has a curious schizophrenia. The International Section of a newspaper portrays a foreign country one way, and then the Travel Section portrays the same country an entirely different way. IME, the Travel Section's portrayal is usually more accurate. France's unemployment rate is 50% higher than Canada's and double that of the US. Indeed, France's unemployment rate is between 40 and 50% in their slums. They also have difficulty attracting business because it is so difficult to lay off a person when a slowdown occurs and it is next to impossible to fire someone who is lazy and/or incompetent. This makes it difficult to create jobs, unlike the US which created nearly a quarter million (239,000) jobs last month. France's GDP growth rate is a mere 1.5% compared to Canada's 2.8% and the USA's 3.5%. France's GDP per capita is $29,000; Canada's is $32,800, and the USA is at $41,800. All numbers from The World Factbook. As for the riots being just a Parisian demo, according to Reuters report, organizers put the number at 400,000 in Paris out of a total of 1.3 to 1.4 million countrywide. The Interior Ministry reported 503,000 nationwide, with 80,000 in Paris. Let's face it. They love to riot in France. The farmers have rioted, winemakers have rioted, ethnics (MSM code for Muslims) riot, and now this riot.

I can't believe that some are still whining about torture tactics like panties on the head, having a woman put a dog collar and leash around your neck (some guys dig that), loud Christina Aguillera music, loud rap music, cell too hot, cell too cold, and despite the numerous terrorists that have been recaptured trying to kill coalition troops when the US foolishly let these Islamonazis go free. But when Nick Berg gets decapitated on video shown around the world....who cares? He's just a Joooo. This is why I thank the Lord (and I'm not even religious) that the left is not in charge of the war on terror. They are on the side of the enemy; no ifs and or buts about it.

Gosthacked: Oh fer ffs! The moonbats at NewsHounds and the George Soros-funded Media Matters--who look out for "rightwing bias" in the media--90% of the site is devoted to the Faux News Channel? Um, your article offers no proof. Do you think that ppl aren't onto your "drop a link and hope no one reads more than the headline" charade? Again, no proof whatsoever.
