When was the last time someone was found guilty of 148 killings and then got off on an appeal? :noes:Quote:

Remember, we're talking international pressure, here.
They've got a mandate, you know?
Just ask around...
Saddam sentenced to death in Iraq.
Terrorist sentenced to 40 years by British Judge.
Both occuring virtually hours before the American elections. Would I be cynical in thinking that there is a connection here?:rolleyes:
Yes, though it would be convenient if the rest of the world just came to a standstill for the year going into our Presidential or off-year elections.Quote:

Kind of related to Iraq someone caught the White House doctoring the "Mission Accomplished" Video on the site.
you need to go to the www.whitehouse.gov site, then news, then scroll down to may 2003
Video never loads on YouTube and video won't start on whitehouse website.Quote:

Ok basically the video has a large black bit on the bottom, kind of like you would see top and bottom on a widescreen movie being shown on a fullscreen tv. It is the speech Bush gave with the mission accomplished banner. except the bit "blacked out isn't covering anything, what they did is move the video up the viewable screen so the mission accomplished is out of sight.Quote:

The Mission Accomplished crap reminds me of the time Bush was congratulating Brown for a great job during Hurrican Katrina.
It's quite sickening.
