No need to base anything on rumor or speculation. I do expect you to damn Bush if he takes action against Iran or if he does nothing and Iran attacks America.
U.S. Expels Iranian Guards at U.N. Mission
Tuesday, June 29, 2004
UNITED NATIONS — The U.S. government has expelled two Iranian security guards at Iran's U.N. Mission, citing activities "incompatible with their stated duties," a U.S. official said Tuesday.
The language is reserved for cases involving espionage.
The Iranians were caught on three occasions taking photos of infrastructure, transport systems and New York City landmarks, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The first incident was in June 2002 and the second was in November 2003; after they were stopped recently while taking photographs, the government asked them to leave the country, the official said.
The pair left the United States in the last few days, the official said.
Richard Grenell, spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, confirmed the expulsions but gave no details.
"We asked them to leave because we were very concerned about their activities, which were incompatible with their stated duties," he said.
Iran is one of seven nations on the State Department list of countries that are state supporters of terrorism (search).

The ignorant and gullible come in all shapes, sizes, colors and ages.
What's really amazing is sovereignty of Iraq was turned over to the Iraqi people yesterday yet that news was ignored by all the radicals here in favor of talking about Moore's movie.
Then again, I should expect no less from people who put their personal political hatred above truth, honesty and national security.
The last fiction movie I saw was Shrek 2 and it did $108 million over it's opening weekend. What did you say this movie "with long lines", did?
Very clever AK, no AK, I haven't seen Moore's film and being the "dedicated to the truth" republican I am, I can not comment on something I haven't yet read or viewed. (But you knew that and that's why you asked me that same question more than once}.
Hence, I posted other's words about Moore and not my own which I generally prefer posting.
Please, please help me, "He's killing me, I'm dying over here".
Moore is so terrified by his detractors he claims that he has already hired a cabal of lawyers. He says he will sue Bush supporters who he thinks may be preparing to slander him.
Book: 'Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man'
A just released book takes on Michael Moore as never before. Its title screams: "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man."
And surprisingly, this book has been published by the same publisher who gave us Michael Moore's own runaway bestseller "Stupid White Men."
Apparently, more than a few people want to take revenge on Michael Moore and the timing couldn't be better - with the release this week of his "documentary" attack piece on George Bush - Fahrenheit 9/11.
Moore is so terrified by his detractors he claims that he has already hired a cabal of lawyers. He says he will sue Bush supporters who he thinks may be preparing to slander him.
Moore's hypocrisy is obvious. Slate editor Jack Shafer says "Moore's hysterical, empty threats" to sue critics of his latest schlockumentary shows that he "appears to believe in free speech only for himself."
One possible target for Moore's lawyers may be the publisher of his own book.
Moore's one time publisher, ReganBooks, is out with a disturbing yet comical book that dismantles every cog of that propaganda machine marketed as Michael Moore.
David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke's "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man" begins by unearthing his phony roots and goes right up to his latest "documentary." Check out NewsMax's Offer for this book -- Go Here.
Meet the Flint-drone: Everybody knows Moore is a blue-collar guy from Flint, Mich., right? That's how he always sells himself.
In reality, he was born and raised in the wealthy, lily-white town of Davison, Mich, the authors reveal. No wonder the clown prince of self-loathing developed such a complex about hating rich, stupid white males.
In a letter to Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times last year, Moore still listed his town as Flint. In fact, despite his proclamations that "capitalism is a sin" and "an evil system," he lives in a $1.9 million apartment in Manhattan and enjoys a $1.2 million summer home on Torch Lake in Michigan.
Does not play well with others: Moore can't get along even with his fellow travelers.
Hardy and Clarke disclose how the radical magazine Mother Jones fired the "arbitrary" and "suspicious" Moore; how he started his feud with his replacement, David Talbot, who later founded Salon; how Ralph Nader's organization fired Moore; how he attacked Pauline Kael, Harlan Jacobson and other prominent critics who exposed the deceits of his schlockumentaries; how he lost a lawsuit for betraying fellow lefty activist Larry Stecco in "Roger & Me," etc.
Nor can the elitist Moore tolerate those lowly working classes and students he claims to represent.
"Big Fat Stupid White Man" gives details of how he abused the staff during a speaking engagement at London's Roundhouse Theater; how he castigated a student who dared question his hefty speaking fee; how he attacked a young documentary maker who had the nerve to give him a taste of the "Roger & Me" treatment, and so forth.
And don't forget his amusingly shrill denunciation of those awful blue-collar crewmen who, unlike his fellow multimillionaires in Hollywood's left, booed him during his tirade at the Oscars.
The book presents one example after another, alternating between frightening and hilarious, to make a brilliant case for Moore having Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
Then there's his feud with his former publisher, HarperCollins subsidiary ReganBooks, which gave us his best seller "Stupid White Men" and now brings us "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man."
ReganBooks, he claims, tried "to censor me and the things I wanted to say. They insisted I rewrite up to 50 percent of the book and that I remove sections that they found offensive to our leader, Mr. Bush." The company plotted "to 'pulp' and recycle all 50,000 copies of my book that were gathering dust in a warehouse," he insists.
However, ReganBooks issued a statement to NewsMax.com contradicting these allegations:
"Originally scheduled for release on September 11, 2001, the book was delayed by mutual agreement between author and publisher after the events of that day. Despite erroneous reports that have appeared in the press, the publisher never attempted to censor the book on partisan grounds, though the publisher and author did discuss replacing the original version of the book with an updated version to address the post-9/11 world. Ultimately, the decision was made to release the book in its original form, and it went on to become a huge success for both the publisher and the author. ReganBooks has since declined to exercise its option to publish another book by Mr. Moore."
After all, Moore and other members of the left-wing thought police can't bear a commitment to diversity of ideas.
Judith Regan, president and publisher of ReganBooks, noted that her company had produced books by Howard Stern and Moore as well as Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
"As publishers, we have an obligation to publish a wide range of ideas, opinions, and perspectives," she said in a statement issued to NewsMax. "Our job is to publish voices on the left, on the right, and everywhere in between - to provide a broad range of opinion."
"We agree with Michael Moore that free expression is one of our most important human rights," Regan said, "and publishing widely and freely is the only way to honor that tradition."
Unfortunately, Moore fights his critics' right to free expression, as Slate's Shafer noted and as Hardy and Clarke document at length.
Howlers in 'Columbine': Some of the distortions and falsehoods that plague the movie "Bowling for Columbine" are already well known, but Hardy and Clarke add details and reveal new whoppers.
Moore claims that National Rifle Association taunted the Denver area and the nation by holding "a large pro-gun rally" only days after the killings at Columbine High School.
In reality, the annual meeting had been planned well in advance, was required by law, could not have been changed in time to another city, and was stripped of all rallies and ceremony in deference to the community.
The movie depicts Charlton Heston as making his famous "cold, dead hands speech" in Denver.
In reality, the remarks came a year later in Charlotte, N.C., and Moore spliced bits of footage from that and another speech for maximum distortion. "It is a lie, a fraud, and a few other things," Hardy and Clarke write.
The fantasy film claims that Heston exploited a school shooting in Mount Morris, Mich., by staging another "big pro-gun rally" in October 2002.
In reality, Heston's appearance came eight months after the shooting, at a get-out-the-vote event in nearby Flint. Others campaigning in the area around that time included Al Gore, George W. Bush ... and Moore himself, touting Ralph Nader.
The authors conclude: "Bowling for Columbine has less documentary value than the average Bugs Bunny cartoon. You see Heston giving a speech - but it's doctored. You see history - but unconnected facts are given a particular Moorewellian spin. You hear that a factory is making weapons of mass destruction - actually, it's building satellite launch platforms. You're led to believe that a rally was a response to a shooting, but it turns out it was eight months later, in anticipation of an election. You watch a Bush-Quayle campaign ad, but in reality it was an ad Moore himself assembled."

'Stupid' is as stupid does: Hardy and Clarke dissect "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" along with the latter's celluloid ugly stepchild, Fahrenheit 9/11, to delve into the heart of Moore's pathology. A few highlights:
Moore harps on his portrayal of America as a "nation of idiots" (i.e., people who disagree with him) and illiterates.
In reality, the "statistics" he offers indicating widespread illiteracy include two sizeable groups: immigrants who are often fluent in other languages but not English, and the blind and visually impaired.
Moore, who after all graduated from high school, delights in ridiculing his countrymen's poor grasp of geography. "The dumbest Brit here is smarter than the smartest American," he snickers to an audience in London.
But Moore chooses not to add an important fact: young adults worldwide performed badly on the National Geographic survey he so selectively cites.
He claims that Florida wrongly disenfranchised thousands of pro-Democrat criminals in the 2000 election. "Thirty-one percent of all black men in Florida" are felons, in his paranoid fantasy world. (No wonder this limousine liberal travels in such exclusive circles.)
In reality, the Miami Herald showed that Democrat-run counties violated state law and let the overwhelmingly Democrat felons vote illegally - more than 2,000 votes, most of which went to Gore.
Most importantly, "Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man" refutes Moore's wild attempts to implicate the president in 9/11. Every American should read these chapters. They are too detailed to summarize here, but one example will demonstrate this book's importance.
Moore claims President Bush invaded Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban so he could get an oil pipeline built. You've probably heard others parrot this allegation. A master of propaganda knows that if you repeat a lie often enough, people start to believe it.
In reality, Bush had supported Enron's plan to run pipes under the Caspian Sea and avoid Afghanistan. "Clinton was the one backing the rival Unocal plan to put them through Afghanistan," Hardy and Clarke observe.
Inspiration to terrorists: Moore's favorite claim: "THERE ... IS ... NO ... TERRORIST ... THREAT!" If so, why do terrorists take succor from him?
The most damning indictment of Moore in "Big Fat Stupid White Man": the salute offered by Imam Samudra, leader of the Muslim terrorist bombers who murdered 202 people, mostly Australians and other tourists, two years ago at Paddy's nightclub in Bali.
"I saw lots of whiteys dancing and lots of whiteys drinking there," Samudra told Indonesian police. The authors note, "It was 'Kill Whitey' (to quote a chapter heading in Stupid White Men) with a vengeance."
Samudra's attorney Qaidar Faisal concluded his defense by praising the Taliban and quoting from "anti-western texts" including Moore's "Stupid White Men."
Despite all the appalling revelations in "Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man," it's hard to finish the book without feeling pity for this man.
Had he used his talents to make actual documentaries and write books devoid of distortion and mendacity, he could have offered a useful critique of the Bush administration's flaws.
Instead, fueled by a narcissism that springs from hatred of self and others, he mangles reality to dupe the uninformed, delight the blame-America-first crowd and even inspire terrorists.
He concentrates his venom on one politician and one party but damages a nation.
"Michael Moore Is A Big Fat Stupid White Man" marks a confident step in undoing his damage.

More on Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11
It's clear that Michael Moore has gone off the deep end when even Democrats compare him to the Nazis' master of propaganda:
"Hollywood agent and Kerry supporter Tom Baer told me, 'Kerry should flee Moore's movie. It's Goebbels all over again." This quotation comes not from Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh but from a column in the Washington Post by Tina Brown, a queen of the liberal media establishment.
Christopher Hitchens, a contributor to such partisan publications as New Left Review and The Nation, writes for Slate: "Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of 'dissenting' bravery."
Andrew Sullivan, a former editor at the liberal New Republic: "Moore is beneath contempt."

Today terrorists sawed an Americans head off, Kerry's lead just dissappeared not unlike the Lakers championship dreams.
NEW YORK, June 28, 2004
Poll: White House Race Tightens Up
Kerry is the choice of 45% of registered voters, Bush the choice of 44%. This is a sharp turnaround for the Bush campaign in the span of just one month; in May, Kerry had opened up a wide 8-point lead over Bush. The race has been close since April.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/06/28/opinion/polls/main626478.shtml
Bush should be leading by 5 points next month after Americans begin to notice the similarities between Moore's film, the radical left and threatening of that Muslim American soldier's head. A few months of a free-Iraq should close the door on the haters and their candidate.
ROFL!
Gave the election to Bush???
LOL, the Supreme court just told the poor losers to stop counting, Gore never won a single count.
I always wondered, if Gore actually won the fourth recount (or a single count for that matter) wouldn't Gore have had to win another 3 recounts in a row, or best out of 7, so Gore could claim he won the presidency 4 recounts to Bush's 3 initial counts?
And if that was the case couldn’t Bush at that point demand an additional two more counts or best out of 9 recounts?
Radicals, liberals and activist judges don't understand that this country has empowered the judicial branch with the responsibility of enforcing the law, not making it.
Good reminder.
Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the unconstitutional mass expulsion and incarceration of Japanese Americans by signing Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942.
while
Republican President Ronald Reagan signed into law H.R. 442 on August 10, 1988 individual payments of $20,000 to each surviving internee and a $1.25 billion education fund among other provisions.
"The strong connections between Bush's and the CIA", boy arn't you a regular rocket scientist?
Former President George Bush was Director of Central Intelligence and head of the Central Intelligence Agency from 30 January 1976 to 20 January 1977.
As did Lincoln and FDR but you can ignore that in favor of the hatred.
Mostly agreed.
Guess it truly was a good time to handover sovereignty to the Iraqis. Surprising I had to mention the turnover today as it was totally ignored by all the liberals here.
Well, not really I guess it’s what the terrorists and the radicals alike fear the most; being responsible and held accountable for their own, lives and actions.
I guess you missed the speech? I saw a standing ovation from everyone in the house, Clinton, Kerry and Kennedy included.
Stupid post, accusation of conspiracy and black helicopters combined with personal attacks yet not a single shred of content or evidence.
Consider going to your local community college and taking a course on logic and debating. Don’t worry you won’t need a high school diploma to enroll.
Bush And Kerry Both Related To Queen Elizabeth
http://www.freepressinternational.com/blueblood.html
Ridiculous comment, tell that to the Kuwaitis, the Kurds, the Shiite, the Iranians plus anyone else who disagreed with Saddam.
Funny how you talk about the "Bushies" their interests and their relations. Did you know the "Bushies" are related to many, including John Kerry?
Because the leaders in charge haven't asked.
You can read right?
We build bases in Germany, Japan and South Korean. Your point?
Lets try this one more time...
Bush told America how he was going to handle terrorist on September 20, 2001 to a JOINT SESSION of CONGRESS and he recieved a stating ovatition from a JOINT SESSION of CONGRESS.
Our response involves far more than instant retaliation and isolated strikes. Americans should not expect one battle, but a lengthy campaign, unlike any other we have ever seen. It may include dramatic strikes, visible on TV, and covert operations, secret even in success. We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. (Applause.) From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.
Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us. Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. (stating ovatition from a JOINT SESSION of CONGRESS).
Sad, I also remember what everyone said that next morning after Bush's speech. Even the most liberal and subversive, cowards said, “man, I don't like Bush but his speech last night was great”.
Are you ok? GWB then proceeded to invade Afghanistan while being blamed by the left for not pre-emptively invading Afghanistan earlier averting 911.
The similarities between your words and the words of terrorists are frightening, have you considered renouncing your American citizenship or do you just talk that way?
I'll be happy when our military comes home too. In regards to 911, I was watching the events of 911 unfold live and all the medium were reporting it was a small plane which hit Tower Number 1.
Airplanes have hit tall NYC building in the past, the Empire State building was hit by a plane and I recall a hellicopter falling off the top of the Pam Am building while I worked there.
When the second plane hit Tower number 2 (where I use to work) it became clear this was a terrorist act and Bush showed leadership by politely excusing himself and taking charge of a very tragic situation.
Today Iraq is sovereign, just as Bush promised and the political scholars here are blind to this historic news simply because they fear everything may change for the better.
We handed Iraq over to it's people on-time just as Bush said and the Bush haters have no comment, prefering to focus on how Bush should or shouldn't have acted in front of children 3 years ago as he was told a plane had hit the WTC.
Two days ahead of time, smart thinking, leaves the terrorists flat footed, the world has changed since 911.
What an idiot this guy is. It's all the media's fault.
After last week's front page headlines over ugly unsealed divorce records in the Republican Illinois senate race, media outlets now face a dilemma: What to do about Democrat presidential hopeful John Kerry's sealed divorce records!

Sex Scandal Brings Down Senate Candidate
Fri Jun 25, 5:41 PM ET
By Andrew Stern
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Republican candidate Jack Ryan quit the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois on Friday, in a blow to his party, amid allegations that he took his television star wife to clubs and asked her to have sex with him in front of strangers.
His decision left Republicans with an even tougher challenge in their effort to hold onto the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Peter Fitzgerald.
Democrats already have been counting on taking it back in the battle for control of the Senate, where Republicans now hold only 51 out of 100 seats.
Republican leaders said Ryan had misled them earlier into thinking his divorce records, unsealed just days ago, contained nothing embarrassing.
Date: 4/7/2004 6:10:10 PM...
Case and point Sara watch and learn. The Texas republican will either lose or ask to step down by the Republican Party. While on the other hand, democrats ignore or most often select and elected representatives based on unusual sexual inclinations.
Mr. Cohen elaborated in March in testimony before the September 11 commission.
He testified that "bin Laden had been living [at the plant], that he had, in fact, money that he had put into this military industrial corporation, that the owner of the plant had traveled to Baghdad to meet with the father of the VX program."
He said that if the plant had been allowed to produce VX that was used to kill thousands of Americans, people would have asked him, " 'You had a manager that went to Baghdad; you had Osama bin Laden, who had funded, at least the corporation, and you had traces of [VX precursor] and you did what? And you did nothing?' Is that a responsible activity on the part of the secretary of defense?"
To justify the Sudanese plant as a target, Clinton aides said it was involved in the production of deadly VX nerve gas. Officials further determined that bin Laden owned a stake in the operation and that its manager had traveled to Baghdad to learn bomb-making techniques from Saddam's weapons scientists.
In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the government of Iraq."
Shortly after the embassy bombings, Mr. Clinton ordered air strikes on al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and on the Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan.
Nice nice rebuttal Sox, for the record there was absolutely no content in that moronic post. Nothing but a pure personal attack.
Clinton knows there is a conection between Saddam Hussein's regime and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda, that's exactly why he keeps his mouth shut. While you other big mouthed, hateful, morons here shoot your mouths off, all day, every day, not knowing or caring for truth.
People like yourself ignore information which contradicts your entire argument in favor of defaulting to a mental midgets personal attack of "taking your meds"?
I waste my time here because it makes me more certain of my correctness.
The other pronouncement is contained in a Justice Department indictment on Nov. 4, 1998, charging bin Laden with murder in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
The indictment disclosed a close relationship between al Qaeda and Saddam's regime, which included specialists on chemical weapons and all types of bombs, including truck bombs, a favorite weapon of terrorists.
The 1998 indictment said: "Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezbollah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the government of Iraq."
Shortly after the embassy bombings, Mr
In fact, during President Clinton's eight years in office, there were at least two official pronouncements of an alarming alliance between Baghdad and al Qaeda. One came from William S. Cohen, Mr. Clinton's defense secretary. He cited an al Qaeda-Baghdad link to justify the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan.
