Dick Cheney aka VICE PRES. aka puppet master speaking with MR. TIM RUSSERT
Say he would do it [the war]
all over age the exact same way!!!!
Damn His Eyes! They just dont get it!!
from Meet the Press transcript:

VICE PRES. CHENEY: You’d have a man who had demonstrated capacity for violence, who started two wars, who had, in fact, been involved with weapons for mass destruction, who had every intention of going back to it when the sanctions were lifted. And by this point, especially with Ahmadinejad living next door in Iran, pursuing nuclear weapons, there’s no doubt in my mind that if Saddam Hussein was still in power, would have a very robust program under way to try to do exactly the same thing. The world is better off because Saddam Hussein is in jail instead of in power in Baghdad. It was the right thing to do and if we had it to do over again, we’d do exactly the same thing.

MR. RUSSERT: Exactly the same thing?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: Yes, sir.

imagelabeler .....very addicting

by google

http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/

o you have to come up with label for images
o you get points if someone else also gives it the same label

o that someone else is looking at the image at the same time
o you don’t know what they are entering

o each time you match, a new image comes up

o there is a time limit , so you have to fire away to get matches

google gets better labels out of the deal

We screw the Kurds once before, they rightfully will only trust the US as far as they need the US. What was GWB thinking? What Should we do....damned if I know...

Story one - Open unrest of Kurds in Turkey
