1) war-mongering against iraq when they've got enuf problems at home... why spend money on wars when u in a recession, got homeless people and crazy crime rates?!

2) the middle eastern countries are saying they wont be able to control their peoples anger against the US.. i.e riots against US interests etc expected.

3) the US has no support from anyone else apart from Kuwait and maybe the Uk - coz we on alwayz yer nutz ;)

4) that shit engelwood posted about.. gluttony at a conference about the starving  ::)

5) pollution. after lobbying from oil companies bush didnt show to the earth summit - guess who the worlds biggest offender is? guess which city is the worst.. yeah bush's home


rough times ahead for the US.

damn I never knew that.  I wonder if that is true.

Don Seer:
well u know.... we keep hearing about 'media spin' these days. they mention it all the time over here in all the broadcasts. (maybe its just the news prog i watch -> ch4 news for those that would know)

i keep hearing about news stories being portrayed different ways in different countries. probably to suit the agenda of the different media outlets... after all they're controlled by people (often allied with government) who want to portray a certain image to their viewers.

e.g.

americans might say they bombed a small outpost.

in the UK they might say that the US bombed a base!

crazy eh!

Don Seer:
p.s. ........ which one should u believe?  ;)

budsmokeronly:
yeah thats what I always gotta remember about the media.  I never know how close to the real story it really is, thats why for a while I got all my news from Jay Leno.  That way if it wasn't true at least it was funny.
