Of course this was an accident. Duh. And it can happen to even excellent
hunters, who aren't drinking, are generally thought of as nice people.
I'm sorry this happened as it's seems to be distracting a whole lot of
people from real issues.

I would just like to point out that the idea that this was "just an
accident" and that accidents like these go with the territory of bird
hunting is bullshit. I would also like to add that it is interesting how
the Whitehouse is blaming the victim, and shucking responsibility off of
Cheney. Fucking pricks. I bet the gun-control groups are sucking this up
too, after all it is their position that nobody can be trusted with guns.
But, I do find some solace in that the NRA is not playing the political
hypocricy game that the Whitehouse seems to be doing.
http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/13865078.htm:
"The National Rifle Association places the onus of responsibility on
the person pulling the trigger rather than the recipient of the
gunshot.
"If that was just a regular Joe Blow, they'd say it was carelessness,"
said Peggy Bodner, executive vice president of the Association of New
Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs, an affiliate of the NRA.
Bodner compared an unintentional shooting to a motorist who rear-ends
another car. "It's like if you were in a car and struck somebody from
behind," she said. "Even if the other person stopped short, it's your
fault."
Bird hunters work under challenging circumstances that require strict
adherence to rules to prevent errant fire. Birds flushed from the
underbrush take flight suddenly, and hunters must swing their guns and
fire in a split second. The typical protocol requires hunters to stay
abreast of one another and to fire only in a prescribed range ahead of
the line. If a bird leaves the agreed "field of fire," a responsible
hunter must let the bird escape."
I think the NRA should donate Cheney a voucher for a free hunters'
safety class.

Cheney should be impeached on this, should he not? He refuses to discuss it
at all with the public.

I'm referring to the Scooter Libby involvement/authorization toward Plame's
exposure.

Explain the situation, Bruce. You mean the War on tERROR?
The White House said on October 29, 2003 that it had helped with the
production of a 'Mission Accomplished' banner as a backdrop for President
George W. Bush's speech onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln to declare combat
operations over in Iraq. Asked if Bush had misled people by appearing in
front of the banner, McClellan said "the Navy put it up and it was the Navy
at the -- asked us to take care of the production of the banner. And we said
that yesterday."
This Administration has no accountability for any of its actions that involve
harming US citizens. We get dragged into these wars on hearsay and
cherrypicked intelligence. Then, lemmings like Bruce call all dissenters
"liberal left". I guarantee my lifestyle is more conservative than Bruce's.
The big difference here is that I'm willing to engage political topics that
question the integrity and accountability of our elected officials. Rather
than ever getting a decent rebuttal based on countering data, all I get is
"left wing" "liberal media" "enemy of freedom" "hate america" playground 2nd
grader dismissals.
Right now, Scooter Libby is requesting a year's worth of classified info in
order to distort the prosecution by forcing a lengthy censorship of sensitive
information. Cheney leaves his buddy Libby out to dry and keeps his mouth
slammed shut. This Scooter guy that backstabs the CIA claims he was under
orders -- Dick Cheney is obviously whom he refers.

I remember the "Mission Accomplished" banner, and always thought it
symbolized that the Carrier's mission was accomplished as it was on its
way home.

The White House was very clear when it states ALL MAJOR combat operations were
over in Iraq. It was not about the Lincoln's job there but about the War on
tERROR.

I daresay you were in an extreme minority with your interpretation of "Mission
Accomplished" then. It certainly doesn't jibe with what Curious George said
in his speech, and the hard-core Bush voter I watched it with didn't see it
your way either.

It jibes perfectly with the revisionist spin that was put out as a talking
point once it became abundantly clear that the mission wasn't accomplished.

Let's talk about Nigeria(Lagos) and Venezuela cutting Shell's nuts off.
Is it because of oil depletion or is Team Evil Axis recruiting for the big
ass kicking of the USA economy?
