    He would not have gotten anything without the waterboarding and the programs Bush set up that led to finding Bin Laden, Owebama whined like a baby about every one of them... yet continued every one of them. If Owebama had had his way... he would still be running free and nobody would have found him.

    Bush had the info first and failed. Bush ignored Clinton's warnings, and failed. Enough right wing revisionist history. Get your head out of Cheney's butt!

    Yeah... so says you... lets see you produce proof.

    We could have had him under Clinton... but he argued there was no legal justification to take him. Today the dems are arguing Obama has the legal right to order Drones strikes and kill Americans here in the USA...

    Clinton didn't warn anyone... he let him run free when we could have had him long before 9/11 and long before Bush won election the first time.

    We don't have omnipotent kings or queens here, Julia would like to have any whim passed but it can only be done with cooperation and even the Greens have had enough of her so she may be in the same situation as BO. What we do have is a parliament that functions and without the level of obstructionism you have

    I've seen Parliaments in operation for a very long time... its far more of a circus than our two party system.

    Amazing how you cling to something Clinton said he said but refuse to see Bush's 17 warnings about Fannie and Freddie. Oh, and the reports that Clinton's actual priority was right-wing domestic terrorists, not al-Qaeda, and that he could have had bin Laden but Reno nixed the plan.

    I see the real Washington... not the Washington some editor wants you to think exists in some newspaper ot TV news program...

    I Know several people from Venzuela... some of them government officials None of them have any love for that dead POS. And they didn't before we were blessed when he got cancer.

    I've spent inordinate ammounts of my life in areas of every agency few employes of them are even allowed. And most of the Embassies too... including yours. There is a lot I know I don't repeat... it goes with the turf and the job.

    I do this between dealing with customers... it helps pass the time. Some days are not as busy as others. I've got six other computer screens full of stuff in front of me I have to keep an eye on when I'm here... one more is no real effort.

    Wonderful and you said you eat Chinese smoked... that explains it you can't trust the Chinese, anyone who eats cat and dog is a little unreliable. I understand why you do this I also do it while I'm waiting for data to download, Back on subject another big rock wizzed past the other day or was it yesterday, it happens so often you have to wonder how come we don't get hit more often, small target, low gravity pull, I guess

    Yeah he gave a typical lib response... if only we had more funding... Here's a clue... The one that did all the damage in Russia was not big . If it headed this way then our luck would run out . There would be damage and injury ;and all the funding won't change that fact .

    Yeah... but like suicide bombers it only takes one to get through to cause a lot of problems.

    The last couple have been in Russia... like the one in Siberia so many years ago... at least that's what they think it was. Not sure if it was really confirmed as that or not.

    It seems asteroids have caught the presidential imagination
    Forget falling stars: NASA plans to catch an asteroid - CNN.com
    So once again life imitates art as we seek to "catch a falling star" but he won't be putting this one in his pocket.

    It is one thing to have a program of find asteriods, it is quite another to alter its orbit and tow it into Lunar orbit. I think BO and his advisers have been watching too many reruns of Star Trek. I wonder; who will be responsible it their calculations are just a little off?

    It's bs NASA trying to justify spending more taxpayer's money on the Orion spacecraft and the SLS heavy lift rocket. Let private space do it since private ventures will reap the benefit of asteroid mining.

    No one is going to derive any benefit from asteroid mining in the foreseeable future, we have a very long way to go before any mining in space can become a viable venture, the only benefit to be derived is for contractors to capture lucrative contracts, BO can't get stimulus in one way he tries another but the glorious days of space are past

    Obama takes up space pretty well right now, he specializes in taking up space and producing nothing of value, he's done it his entire life... if he'd just stop wasting the taxpayers money... and shut his piehole up... everyone would be happier.
