It has there from first of all and thing that I wish to say approximately the primary presidency election. By all candidates can be seen us, which is not, to adapt as if for the defeat of the outgoing candidate, but considering the sense, which the vagabonds of the mosquito would have here, in order to be problem for possible. If we it other reason is not to have a war with Iraq which were countries for those, and approximately it to collect would have, and to contribute, around the country by means of THAT ONE again to develop is less only ridiculous. The world changes fast, and the United States must lead the sense or find positions.

let live us and let like my two and take your umbrella in case of a storm

Sounds like he's asking everyone to lighten-up on the US - and to show some respect for our liberation of Iraq.

So, yeah, he DID have an important message.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I sense something very important in your post.

Unfortunately, the tools you use for translation are not carrying the meaning very well.

You might ask someone to assist you and repost.

Just my humble 2 cents.

What I'm trying to say is that Kerry should not have gotten Botox injections. I thought he was a respectable candidate until he did that. He hasn't got a chance against Bush now.

Hmmm... you make it sound like the U.S. is taking all the credit for itself. What happened to the other 89 or so countries in the "broad coalition"? Do they just get a "Mission Accomplished" t-shirt and matching mousepad?

interesting superficialty.

I must say, you lost me at "vagabonds of the mosquito".

No - they get a no-expenses-paid peace-keeping mission to the liberated land of their choice.

You might be interested in the payoff Australia is getting for Iraq.

And I'm starting to think the Aussie government actually wants a terrorist attack in Oz so we can build a big US military base here. It wouldn't be the first time a terrorist act had been used to justify fulfilling long-held objectives.

It's all about shaping public opinion.

We shall see.

I was curious if a bunch of non-sensical "babel" (english>german>french>english) could ignite a political discussion. I guess it did!

Quote from the SMH: "Attorney-General Philip Ruddock's spokesman said there was a delay in responding to the French warning because it was sent on October 3 - the Friday night before a long weekend."

There you have the root of the problem. Damn terrorists and frenchies are not going to ruin a judicious long weekend. I mean, who do they think they are, Osama bin Laden or what?

"interesting superficiality" is an appropriate response though, depending on whose superficiality we are talking about

Americans want presidents who seem strong, serious, and are able to navigate the country through the unexpected storms that inevitably come our way. I would not want a president who feels that he could not command the country if he were unattractive. Presidents need to be confident in their skin, no matter what they look like. Personally, I liked John Kerry's appearance-- he looked very dignified in his age. He had no reason to change it. You wouldn't see Presidents Bush or Clinton going to the spa for facials or getting botox injections. It just isn't presidential.

Yeah. ATTENTION TERRORISTS! AUSTRALIAN INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WILL BE CLOSED FOR THIS LONG WEEKEND. PLEASE DO NOT ATTACK UNTIL TUESDAY 7TH OCTOBER (AFTER 9:00AM).

nope. I got it. He's thinks a man who has had botox (allegedly, I have no idea if he has or hasn't) is not qualified to be president.

perhaps my post went over YOUR head.

regardless, I think its equally superficial, both to have the alleged treatments, and to discount someone solely on that basis.

Hmmm....and be sure to pull troops out
before an election. - Clinton

Round and round it goes, where it stops

Cheers!

I think you've set your time machine too far back. You wanted the start of Bush's term (before it all went pear-shaped)

I have no idea what your post had to do with anything, but I think that if your Prez wins another term, as is likely, you are liable to be even more unwelcome in even more places on this earth than you already are.
