Isn't the above a pretty good description of how a Dictator acts? Given the legal "opinion" and authorization (of ONE MAN) that Jay Bybee in the DoJ gave the Bush Administration, what would prevent them from allowing the FBI to use waterboarding on American citizens?

That's not gonna be happening anytime because the leaders of the GOP are pussies. Even your beloved George Bush denied the Israelis permission to fly over Iraqi airspace last year and take out the main nuclear reactor in Natanz. An even better question is . . . Who ARE the LEADERS of the...

ET should create a verification system in which you are only allowed to post in the "Politics and Religion" Forum if you can prove that you are an active trader. Shouldn't be too difficult to send "jpegs" of a monthly or weekly statement to an ET moderator for verification. Actually, they...

Understood. Thanks. :)

After 28 years, I changed my registration from Republican to Independent last year. I couldn't care less whether you believe that or not. It really has nothing to do with this thread. And how many aliases on ET do you have?

Given your count from last Friday, I take it that you believe that we are no longer in Wave 5???

No one ( other than simpletons such as yourself ) has ever claimed the above generalization; and certainly not I. This might challenge your mediocre intellect, but I've probably been a registered Republican longer than you have been alive on this planet.

This post comes to mind from early April: Quote from Mag Light: i don't do business with negrows; losing proposition. "axe" any banker. but I do question why you are so defensive of the truth about negrows. did your wife/girlfriend leave you for a negrow, is your boss a negrow, did...

Based on remarks and comments in a number of posts over the past several months, it is the opinion of some that much of the discourse in this Forum that revolves around issues regarding President Obama comes from an attitude and opinion that is firmly entrenched in RACISM. What say you ET?

Market double-bottoms off the opening low with the 10:15am low and heads straight back UP and into the GREEN. Shocker. :D

Now $77.30 :)

Since you obviously had everything figured out regarding the "Great Obama Crash" you must have made a lot of money shorting the markets. Please post a screen-shot of your trading P&L for Q4 of 2008 to show us how much money you made. Thank You.

Correct. Clearly, the Hapa's, Mercor's, and AAA's of the world do not TRADE the financial markets. If they did, they wouldn't be caught DEAD yammering about how everything was fine as of August 2008. These people are idiots. For some reason, ET sure does attract a lot of "wanna-bee"...

So says the Czechoslovakian that isn't even an American citizen. Yawn.

First off, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about as there is a continued CIVIL WAR in Iraq between Shia and Sunni Muslims. But leave it to you to immediately "spin" the violence earlier this week in Baghdad as coming from al-Qaeda so that you can pin it on President Obama...

I agree with Republican's Ron Paul and John McCain when it comes to the opposition of waterboarding. There are CLEARLY other interrogation methods that can be used in an effective manner in obtaining critical information that can save the lives of Americans. You act as if waterboarding is...

I guess you are unaware of how many votes are needed in the House in order to over-ride ONE MAN'S VETO. By the way, how many shares did you trade today Captain?

SPiders crush the shorts again heading into the close! Have a nice Weekend everyone. :)

I'm not going to short the S&P or SPX heading into the close and over the weekend. I am however shorting some Nat-Gas drillers that have run up way ahead of themselves in this 7 week rally, even though Nat-Gas is making new contract lows in May at 3.28 PTEN beginning to crack as we speak.

Excellent point. It is one that General Brent Scowcroft ( the NSA to Ford and HW Bush ) presented on several occasions, but Dumbya and Chinsey didn't want to listen. The neo-cons had an epic FAIL.
