Obviously the author has no way of knowing exactly what "fixed" means in that memo. How does he know that this definition doesn't apply?
Fixed; Illegally prearranged as to outcome: a fixed election.
isn't it obvious?......they actually use the word for its intended meaning.....what a novel idea!........and you probably rely on your definition, based on a movie about teenage student bookies.........it's amazing how well you fit into your quaint liberal box
in both dictionaries that i referenced, the merriam-webster and google's american heritage, you just happened to choose the definition that is the very last entry (the 11th) in each dictionary....how convenient!....here's what each of my dictionaries state
11. To influence the outcome or actions of by improper or unlawful means
11. to influence by improper or illegal methods
seriously, forget how biased you are for one minute of your tunnel-visioned existence, and ask yourself if you really think, of all the meanings available, that your choice is the one that applies?.....there are 10 better uses available.....the least likely definition, the one with the lowest odds is the one you chose, or more likely, the one you want to be true.....c'mon dude! think about it....and then ponder for a moment as to how a british bloke might be using the word
so, for the mentally-healthy exercise of "learning something new every day", let's go ahead and list the top 10 that comes in front of your definition, and see if you can figure it out......in fact, why don't you close your eyes and pretend that you're back in a middle-school english grammar class, and that you're grade in the class depends entirely what your answer is
fix vb 1 : to make firm, stable, or fast 2 : to give a permanent or final form to 3 : affix, attach 4 : to hold or direct steadily 5 : establish, set 6 : assign 7 : to set in order : adjust 8 : prepare 9 : to make whole or sound again 10 : to get even with 11. to influence by improper or illegal methods
To place securely; make stable or firm: fixed the tent poles in the ground. See Synonyms at fasten.
To secure to another; attach: fixing the notice to the board with tacks.
To put into a stable or unalterable form: tried to fix the conversation in her memory.
To make (a chemical substance) nonvolatile or solid.
Biology. To convert (nitrogen) into stable, biologically assimilable compounds.
To kill and preserve (a specimen) intact for microscopic study.
To prevent discoloration of (a photographic image) by washing or coating with a chemical preservative.
To direct steadily: fixed her eyes on the road ahead.
To capture or hold: The man with the long beard fixed our attention.
To set or place definitely; establish: fixed her residence in a coastal village.

To assign; attribute: fixing the blame.
To correct or set right; adjust: fix a misspelling; fix the out-of-date accounts.
To restore to proper condition or working order; repair: fix a broken machine.

Informal. To take revenge upon; get even with.
To influence the outcome or actions of by improper or unlawful means: fix a prizefight; fix a jury.

"A whole new range of international criminal laws has emerged and when you break the rules of international law you pay a price for that
how can you break the law, when you are the law.....freedom is the law!

interesting and thorough read, and a fine example of doing due diligence.........the conspiracy theory purveyors would do well to learn how to review ALL the info in its ENTIRE context, and let the picture draw itself, instead of drawing the picture first and only putting pieces of the puzzle that fit what they want that picture to be
in fact, after all of the homework they did that culminated in this website, they still are seeking more info before arriving at a final conclusion

another pipe dream
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (#2 in the line of succession, after the VP) thus becomes President Pelosi
i realize that you wrote that as a joke, and it's one of the sickest jokes i've heard..............besides, an alien can't be president

whassup rooster.....obviously, tornado is implying that the only reason gwb "took the gloves off" was to raise money

did you hear the dick durbin soundbites?..........equating turning the air conditioning off and playing rap music at guantanamo, to the p.o.w. conditions of hitler and pol pot
yeah, americans are gonna believe that!........i say, keep spewing your goo dicky boy, because the '06 election cycle needs your soundbites for upcoming political ads
and gwb?........keep the gloves off!
p.s.........in context of his experience, where the hell is mccain on p.o.w. conditions, when the dems make these comparisons?.......mccain should be slapping these guys upside the head, which probably tells you he's gonna make a run in '08......someone should let mccain know that he's got no chance of being president
Sadam had been contained for years and was not a serious threat to anyone.

whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive...it is the Right of a People to alter or to abolish it....Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes....But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is the right, it is the duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It is obvious that the libs/Lefties [and some dems in congress] believe that this country DECIDES to war, and THEN begins the planning and preparation
gee, isn't that the way corporate buyouts and takeovers work.......no due diligence, just take it over, and then figure out whether it's a good fit
bass-ackwords thinking.......the only thing a liberal is consistent at
"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism"
although not mentioned, it is a given in all of jefferson's quotes that intelligence, whether through self education or public education, is at the heart of the obligations of an informed citizenry, and is the key to real progress of civilization as reflected in our american society
but merely making an unintelligible protest sign, or screaming "conspiracy" on a message board, certainly doesn't fit the ideals that jefferson hoped for america
would be qualified to understand their rights, to maintain them, and to exercise with intelligence their parts in self-government
To give to every citizen the information he needs....to enable him to calculate for himself, and to express and preserve his ideas....to improve, by reading, his morals and faculties; to understand his duties to his neighbors and country, and to discharge with competence the functions confided to him by either; to know his rights; to exercise with order and justice those he retains, to choose with discretion the fiduciary of those he delegates; and to notice their conduct with diligence, with candor and judgment; and in general, to observe with intelligence and faithfulness all the social relations under which he shall be placed."
Our people, merely for want of intelligence which they may rely on
It would seem impossible that an intelligent people with the faculty of reading and right of thinking should continue much longer to slumber.....Awaken them from this voluntary degradation of mind! Restore them to a due estimate of themselves and their fellow citizens, and a just abhorrence of the falsehoods and artifices which have seduced them!
so stop wishing things to fit your whacky, narrow-minded view, and wake up!........america has always had looney toons like you, and thankfully they have always been proven out in history to be just what they, and you, are.....whacky!
but what the hey, you can take pride in the fact that you have taken conspiracy theory whackiness to its highest heights, while kidding yourself that you fit into jefferson's understanding of dissent......carry on!
RAGE AT AUTHOR AFTER CLAIM: BILL RAPED HILLARY, CONCEIVED CHELSEA
knowing what hillary's politics were back then (and still are), does it surprise anyone that bill never got any, and that the only way he was gonna keep hillary on a leash back then, was to make sure she got pregnant......hell, it may have been the only time in their entire marriage that they had sex, and you'd for sure remember the one time you had sex in 25 years......with your wife, that is
and i just don't understand why this raving beauty would deny her man sex, or why he would ever want to have sex with her.....even once...lol!

But the we love war crowd
no one loves war.......we love freedom, and history proves that real freedom is something that is ALWAYS fought for
the money we have wasted in Iraq.....Making sure the poppy trade stopped.
the price of poppies is much more important than the price of freedom for iraq's 25,000,000 people?...........good grief!
They caught a guy who killed a policeman here in Denver today, in Mexico. That is how secure our borders are.
only in the liberal world are we supposed to let illegals in, and then stop them from leaving........sheesh!
no matter how we got there, and regardless of whether saddam was a world threat or not, there is one reason, and one reason alone, why going into iraq was the right thing to do......it's one thing to fight for one's own freedom, but the nobility of fighting for another's freedom, of fighting for those who can't free themselves, is in it's own category, and is never lost on history
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
the overthrow of saddam was the right thing to do according to this declaration of independence, this statement of freedom, as laid down by our founders

And how does the military protect us ?
let me count the ways.......in order to secure the blessings of liberty
you must establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and provide for the common defense
i reckon in the liberal world, this is unconstitutional.......i can hear them now, "but, but, the preamble really isn't the constitution, it's just the intro"....lol!
Did it protect us from terrorism at all ?
obviously, hindsight is no sight.......did it ever dawn on you that if the king of the roaring 90's hadn't cut military spending in half, hadn't turned the intelligence community into a politically correct social experiment, hadn't erected walls between intelligence agencies, hadn't ignored all of the warnings that did get through, and had actually taken one step forward in addressing terrorism, 9-11 probably wouldn't have happened
take all of this chaos regarding what was handed over to gwb, including the 45,000 word national security document that made no mention of bin laden and only 4 mentions of al qaeda, and combine that with the fact that gwb was in office for only 8 months when 9-11 happened, and voila......and let's remember, according to the 9-11 report, in the first month of his presidency, it was gwb, and gwb alone, who specifically asked for a summary of terrorism regarding al qaeda, which is what then materialized as the aug PDB
liberals will never understand the severe damage that clinton did regarding the unseen and unappreciated foundations of protecting freedom......and all for a legacy
hmmmm.......do you know what kind of legacy the last president who resided over roaring economic times has?.........well make room warren, because billy boy clinton is gonna be joining you on your lonely love seat of presidential history
the media did not release the pictures
but they published them, which is STILL a direct violation of the geneva conventions.........your "what the meaning of is, is" type of reasoning, is why y'all love clinton so much
[Suppressed Sound Link]
The media has an obligation to print what they learn.
so it was okay for saddam's media to release photos of our p.o.w.'s, even though it was a direct violation of geneva conventions?
oh that's right, liberal consistency
[Suppressed Sound Link]
to hell with the Geneva Conventions.
to hell with the Geneva Conventions is exactly what the bush-hating media has done, because releasing photos of p.o.w.'s is a direct violation of the geneva conventions.........but i forgot, a republican is in office, so either the rules get changed, or the rules simply don't apply
consistently moving the goalposts to suit an agenda is the only consistent thing liberals do.........anyone who pays attention has known this for years, but the reporting by the new media, combined with liberals blatant hypocracy, has now made it so even the average american, who usually doesn't give a rat's ass, sees it as plain as the sun rising in the east
amazing that liberals still don't get it......just keep pretending that america is listening to the incessant whining and moaning.........gee, what am i saying, liberals don't even recognize that they are whining and moaning
to this i say......carry on, you're doing just fine!

"was due to suffocation rather than drowning".
oh come on, there's no way that teddy would abandon a concious woman, and then leave her to suffer until death.....especially in a situation that was entirely his fault.......although, his liberal consistency does shine brightly.....then again, starving a woman of air until she dies is certainly not the same as starving a woman of food until she dies
considering the hiccup boy's history of abandoning women, it surprises me that his number one issue isn't tracking down deadbeat dads
Kerry, to this day, has never signed the form to release his war records

your question was
How would invading Iraq in 1998 have stopped 911?
i gave you an answer based on real world, common sense, analytical realities.....you ignore that and turn it into clinton and "it's all about sex"........good grief, do you work for the msm....lol!
i know you won't answer because you know i'm right about what would have happened if we had invaded iraq in '98
besides, when are y'all gonna get over clinton....sheesh!
How would invading Iraq in 1998 have stopped 911?
obviously there are no guarantees, but it is highly probable that invading iraq in '98, and thus moving into war mode, would have created entirely new security measures regarding the security of our borders, and within our borders...........this heightened security status would have made it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the unchecked movement of the 9-11 hijackers before the event occurred
in addition, in the very same manner that the iraqi insurgency and the foreign terrorists are fighting against freedom now, had an invasion of iraq been done in '98, freedom in the middle east would be five years further along then we are now......on top of that, knowing now that all of the terrorists resources are focused in iraq, there is the likelihood that neither time nor resources would have been available for them to carry out the 9-11 attack, since they would be busy fighting in their own backyard, instead of carrying out an attack in our backyard
it could have been a real legacy for clinton, and gore would have won hands down in 2000..........but of course, hindsight is no sight, and it's not like the dems have ever had any vision anyway
