It's basically a politically cheap shot for the democrats to pick on the bush policy on Iraq. To have gore, and other democrats coming out, and saying that our troops are committing atrocities in Iraq THAT Only FUELS THE PRAPOGANDA THAT THE TERROISTS ARE PUTTING OUT, AND KILLING OUR TROOPS BECAUSE OF IT. OH!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IT'S ONLY POLITICS???? ARE YOU PEOPLE "IN GENERAL" THAT NIEVE?????????????????????????????????

(AHN) - Officials of the U.S. Air Force said Thursday that operations were underway for setting up a command center for the fight in cyberspace. According to recent reports, U.S. information and technology has increasingly come under attack from hackers, some believed to work for foreign governments. The new command could help the Air Force protect data as well as intercept and disrupt adversary data. "The aim is to develop a major command that stands alongside Air Force Space Command and Air Combat Command as the provider of forces that the President, combatant commanders and the American people can rely on for preserving the freedom of access and commerce, in air, space and now cyberspace," Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne said in a conference on Thursday. According to Wynne, the new Cyberspace Command will be housed at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, where some 25,000 military personnel already work on projects connected with electronic warfare and network defense. Lieutenant General Robert Elder will head the new program. At a briefing following Wynne's announcement, Elder said that the Command could disrupt financial networks if needed. "We see that as certainly within our realm," he said. According to Elder, the U.S. strategy concerning cyber warfare has long been merely defensive but that the new Command would allow for a transition to offensive strategies. "We've come to realize there are a lot of things that we can do in the cyberspace domain that would be good for national security." "If they want to fight with us in cyberspace, we're willing to take them on there, too," Elder said.

I would be surprised if Allen does not pull it off, and again blingbling you STILL HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT YOU ARE TYPING ABOUT. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST GET OUT THERE, AND VOTE. It doesn't matter which side you are on, JUST GET OUT THERE, AND VOTE. To those who don't get out there to vote? SHAME ON YOU.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6115718.stm The UN Latin American and Caribbean Group has endorsed Panama to take its non-permanent seat on the Security Council, diplomats said. Panama was unanimously backed after Guatemala and Venezuela agreed to withdraw following nearly 50 rounds of voting that failed to separate them. Panama should now be formally elected by the General Assembly on Tuesday. The US had opposed Venezuela's candidacy because of its relationship with President Hugo Chavez. Setback "It was unanimous," Argentina's Ambassador Cesar Mayoral said after the UN Latin American and Caribbean Group met behind closed doors on Friday Panama should now succeed Argentina on the 15-member Security Council in January. The UN General Assembly held 47 rounds to choose between Guatemala and Venezuela. Guatemala gathered more support in nearly all the rounds, but neither side was able to achieve the two-thirds majority needed in the 192-member General Assembly. Diplomats said that Mr Chavez's now infamous speech to the UN General Assembly in September, during which he compared US President George W Bush to the devil, had damaged his country's standing Five of the 15 UN Security Council seats are held permanently by China, the US, Russia, the UK and France. The others are held by regional blocs from Africa, Latin America, Asia, Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Other regional seats, which are rotated every two years, went to Indonesia, South Africa, Italy and Belgium in the first round of voting last month.

Then I hope that everyone got "politicians" what they wanted for their Respective Districts. After all Politics Really is Local. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are you people getting a good idea NOW what the difference is between an adult, and a kid working on the HILL?

Rees, I understand where you are coming from. You want to get even with him, and with a PASSION. This is one of the many reasons I left aol a long time ago, there was no point in the chatroom infighting. Christ!!!! I remember those days? nightmares. Me, and other's would bang our heads against the walls begging aol to stop the worst offenders, and they would not. Can you imagine people going into "Widows Chats" and people going in there just to mess with the widows "saying this, and that", and aol not putting a stop to them. The reason AOL lost so many customers, and WILL continue to lose customers is sadly simple, they got to be known as a place WERE THE BAD GUYS WIN. ALL the people that I use to know who where on aol ARE THERE NO MORE.

How come no one other than me downloaded that pdf report? Don't you democrats care about what Nancy and your party is thinking? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like my friend in the aflcio was right after all about your group "democrats". (most interesting) Just a side note; my friend is still trying to get me to go democrat, and I am still trying to get him to go republican. <~~~~~ we don't agree on many issues, but we did go to the community bbq.

http://iridium.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=p...leases&item=779 BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Iridium Satellite LLC of Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.A. announces it is officially launching delivery of its products and services in Brazil through an alliance with OmniLink of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Anatel, the Brazilian Telecommunications Agency, has confirmed operational authority for the full suite of Iridium products and services throughout Brazil. This partnership will drive the only truly global, mobile satellite communications service into the largest market in South America. OmniLink, the leading manufacturer of smart vehicle tracking systems in Brazil, will now serve as an Iridium value-added reseller. Through OmniLink, Iridium will provide its global data and voice communications services in Brazil, starting with the transportation market. The ANTT in Brazil (also known as The Agencia Nacional de Transportes Terrestres or The National Land Transport Regulatory Agency) estimates potential for the transportation tracking sector includes 1.5 million load vehicles circulating the country. OmniLink already has more than 20,000 vehicle tracking units installed in Brazil, including cars, trucks, buses and other means of professional transportation. Through this partnership, Iridium will now serve as a main data communications network for the new OmniLink smart tracker system -- the "RI 1480 MAX." The RI 1480 MAX is designed for the transportation market -- for land, rail, air and water-based transportation and vehicle tracking. The system combines the GPS technology traditionally used in vehicle tracking with wireless data communications via both cellular networks and the Iridium satellite network. Vehicles using the system tap a GSM/GPRS network when it is in range. However, when a vehicle leaves a cellular network area, the OmniLink Smart Coverage Tracking Control System automatically sends its data via the Iridium network with no intervention of either the driver or the base station operator. The RI 1480 MAX system provides transportation companies with a fast, efficient and low-cost way to communicate with their fleets. "Partnering with Iridium allows OmniLink to provide highly interactive data communications applications, where data traffic volume is high and response times extremely critical," said Cileneu Nunes, president of OmniLink. "Typically, these applications are in the security and logistics arenas. Iridium's data services provide an advanced, reliable, cost-effective platform for asset tracking and monitoring in the Brazilian market. We have already seen strong interest from customers that want to better understand the state and location of their assets." "We are pleased to partner with OmniLink in entering the Brazilian marketplace," said Matt Desch, Chairman and CEO, Iridium Satellite. "Brazil represents a very important market for mobile satellite communications, and we expect to see rapid growth over the next few years in response to built-up demand.

This is just an internet aheming match now. I have friends who ARE democrats, and they make the HARDEST CORE DEMOCRATS in here look like CUP CAKES by comparison. THE REASON that I don't get caught up in the games that most people do? It is rather simple "BEEN THERE DONE THAT" I learned by my mistakes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Lobbying; I would not reform it AT ALL; there is no need for it. What the democrats are doing is just a political ploy. How many times have we visited this issue on lobbying? Just enforce the existing rules. This is not rocket science. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For me, I will be headed back to politics "some were on the HILL". To the Island I go. lol

So what are you two going to do When these elections are over?

To the AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY; I have been in civil rights a ling time, I take no pleasure in this, but you must also understand that your group "The democrats" HAVE WRITTEN OFF 19 to 23% african american community to get the Latino Vote. Add to that the independent vote WHICH in their thinking "democrats" will off set in what the democrats ARE willing to SACRAFICE "namely a quarter of the African American Vote". LOOK!!! I know you are wondering WHY a Latino such as myself, and others are fighting so hard on this?????? It is not just limited to which political party gets in, IT'S also a question "and this is for decades to come"; THAT in the long term it WILL BE AN EMPLOYERS MARKET, and BOTH sides “and please understand this well" WILL be pawns in what the employers set as wages, and benefits. As odd as it maybe, WE BOTH HAVE A COMMON INTEREST. So DON"T think that you can sit back on this one, because you CAN"T. Just so you know; I KNOW which AFRICAN AMERICAN LEADERS HAVE WRITTEN YOU OFF FOR THE LATINO VOTE. I WILL HELP OUY MY GROUP LATINO's "make no mistake with me". AND THIS IS AS FAR AS I GO IN HELPING YOU "To the african community".

AS A LATINO REPUBLICAN MYSELF I BELIEVE THAT THE LAW MUST BE APPLIED TO ALL EQUALLY. Now one part of the Immigration Bill is DONE, and the rest of the fight begins. THERE ARE 18 Million Illegal Immigrants here in the United States, 12 million ARE from Mexico. Whether it be a Democrat or Republican Congress? The other 6 million will NOT be SHUT OUT from realizing the American Dream. Part of the REAL reform WILL BE that those Businesses hiring Illegal Immigrants WILL BE prosecuted. To the Latino Corporations that hire Illegal Immigrants, I with others WILL BE PUSHING "HEAVEN and EARTH" TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LAWS ARE APPLIED EQUALLY. (In other words that some Latino Run Corporations WILL be Prosecuted as well.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soldier, EVEN in the diplomatic community there is a consensus that in the United States the BIGGEST ALLIES of the terrorists ARE the democrats. Soldier; what gets me is that the democrats keep on saying that they are for the soldiers in Iraq, when in fact that they are after political power NO MATTER WHAT THE COST. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6086042.stm By Frank Gardner BBC Security Correspondent, Norway Housed in a shallow valley just outside Oslo is the Norwegian Defence Research Institute. It is an unremarkable place to look at, but inside sits one of Europe's leading teams of researchers into the growing phenomenon known as "online Jihadism", or al-Qaeda-inspired extremism on the internet. They are neither intelligence agents nor soldiers, but academics who use their fluent Arabic to produce unclassified research. Like many who study this subject, they disguise their real identity by using false Arabic names and proxy addresses. Brynjar Lia, a senior team member and author of an acclaimed book about terrorism and the internet, says al-Qaeda and its affiliates use the internet for several purposes. Training for interrogations "Propaganda, calling people to jihad, is the primary purpose," he said. "It has always been like that from the beginning, but secondly it is to communicate to the internal community of jihadis with the message to continue to fight and build up the spirit of combat, and also internal communication with cell members and so on. "This can be via email or encrypted messages. Usually they don't use much encryption, they only use easy codes, simple codes that can be read by people but interpreted as something that doesn't have anything to do with terrorism. Then there is also the external audience, those enemies who they want to fright and terrorise. "The idea to produce videos that are very scary, like decapitations and other similar movies. "Then there is also the electronic jihad part of it, which is to destroy enemy websites which are critical of the jihadi movement. "The last area is training. That could be anything from providing security instructions, how to withstand interrogations, how to evade surveillance but it could also be how to produce explosives, how to put together a mine, how to place the mine and so on." English subtitles In the last year, say the Norwegian analysts, the jihadists have been adapting their online recruiting efforts to target audiences in Europe, including Britain. Videos of speeches, such as those by al-Qaeda chief strategist Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, now come with English subtitles. Al-Qaeda's Californian-born spokesman Adam Gadahn addresses Western audiences in American English, drawing attention to what he sees as the hypocrisy of Western civilisation. Other jihadi videos are being dubbed into German, Spanish, Swedish and other European languages with the aims of both attracting potential recruits and intimidating those seen as the enemy. Other innovations include increasingly high quality film footage, fresh from the battlefields of Iraq or Afghanistan, and sophisticated instructions on bomb-making and weapon handling. But one of the areas where jihadist propagandists have been most successful and innovative is in targeting the youth market, reaching out to teenagers and young men through internet chat rooms in cyberspace. Their attention is grabbed by catchy videos like the 2004 rap hit Dirty Kuffar by Sheikh Terra, online games where points are scored by simulating attacks on US soldiers with the click of a mouse, and even a video equating goals scored in the World Cup with improvised bomb attacks on coalition forces in Iraq, accompanied by tumultuous applause. Governments slow Thomas Hegghammer from the Norwegian Defence Research Institute describes how al-Qaeda sympathisers log onto certain internet forums to discuss the films and the latest news from Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, always trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities. "These forums are like the sort of town square of online jihadism, it's where people meet to collect information and discuss topics," he said. "If you look at the address it's quite anonymous, it's just numbers and this is because they move around all the time to avoid hackers and government agencies that try and take them down, so some of these sites more around on a weekly basis or even daily basis and the way you find these addresses is from other forums. "So there is always a redundancy. So if one forum is shut down then you go to the other one to get the new address." Western governments have been slow to wake up to the enormous potential for jihadists to recruit over the internet, but British officials now believe that, after face-to-face meetings, the internet has become the prime means of radicalisation and recruitment. The problem has been urgently debated at this week's meeting of European Security and Interior Ministers in Stratford-upon-Avon. "The Home Secretary takes it very seriously," said a Home Office official, adding: "We are engaged in a battle of ideas and values." 'Lost battle' But one London-based Arab journalist who monitors online jihadism contends that the British government is essentially passive when it comes to the wave of jihadist propaganda out there on the internet. Camille Tawil said: "I believe the British have been happy just to monitor the internet. "My impression is that they believe it's a lost battle to counter the al-Qaeda message on the internet. "The Americans however have been a little bit ahead of the British in countering that message. "What they do is they have people who pretend to be Islamic militants trying to lure some people from al-Qaeda or extremists into saying something, and that would lead to their arrest - however in Britain we haven't seen anything like this. "The Americans are well ahead of the British in this." British government officials deny they are doing nothing, but not surprisingly they decline to discuss anything to do with secret intelligence operations. "We are doing a number of things, some overt and some covert," says the Home Office official, adding with a degree of weary candour: "But we admit some of them are not working".
