General foresees 'generational war' against terrorism

"The American people need to prepare for a long-duration war against radical Muslims who are set to fight for 50 to 100 years to create an Islamist state in the region, a top Pentagon strategist in the war on terror says. "

No they wont stop at their region.  If you look at all of what the radicals are saying they have clearly stated they plan to dominate the world.  They want EVERYONE to convert.  It is not just Islam/Muslim type countries. IT'S EVERYONE.  As long as their are so called infidels they will fight. Do some research on the subject if you don't believe me.  But they did say it several times.  They said it on the radical websites, and in news media they released to the public online.  This is just what irks me with the news media.  They never tell the whole story.  You have to search online to find out the true story.  You will not find this news on FOX or CNN.  Why?
 
If you look at the whole story then the reason for their fighting is clear.  If you look at the news media, it is not.  It doesn't make what they are doing right killing innocent men, women, and children.  But I believe the news media owes us ALL the truth, not bits and pieces they feel like telling us. I will never be a museum extremist.  Their fighting just doesn't make any sense.  Plus they read into their Bible words that were never included.  The true Museum would never act that way.

YOU will be responsible for reporting Illegal images

Millions of commercial Web sites and personal blogs would be required to report illegal images or videos posted by their users or pay fines of up to $300,000, if a new proposal in the U.S. Senate came into law.

The legislation, drafted by Sen. John McCain and obtained by CNET News.com, would also require Web sites that offer user profiles to delete pages posted by sex offenders. It doesn't end there though... You also will be required to retain a proof copy of the offenders post(s) for up to six months. Webmasters would be immune from civil and criminal liability if they followed the specified procedures exactly. But screw up, and you are fined $300,000.  I take it as meaning if they find evidence on a offenders computer that leads to you knowing what the offender was doing, then you will pay for ignoring them.  It basically turns all individuals into the police. 

The efforts of the Senate are I suppose admirable for stopping online predators, but what do they plan to do to the person that is ignorant in how to save the evidence?  Gosh now even the law will know how many online are just clueless on how to run their computers.

Global Warming

Yes there is global warming.  But some of this is due to our own earth's cycle.  I don't doubt we need to change.  But people like Al Gore look at Americans like it is their fault.  It's not.  Look in our stores, look at what we are being offered for fuel, and look at the laws that are in place for recycling.  We are offered, and so we purchase.  It's not like our own Government hasn't stepped up to the plate and said things are changing.  They are not.  New fuels are not being developed, and marketed fast enough.  New incentives are not being developed fast enough.  Plus it doesn't look like the oil company's will give up this without a fight.
 
Instead of asking us to purchase the new longer lasting energy efficient light bulbs, offer those only and take the ones off the market that don't meet energy efficient standards. Same could be said for all appliances, and automobiles.  We can only do so much.  If our supplies dealers, and such isn't offering the better energy efficient.  Don't blame us.  Plus the price on some of these goods is outrageous. If the old stuff is fazed out, then it makes sense that the new energy efficient stuff will drop in price to a reasonable level.  Fix it!  By the way... Don't forget to go after the "other" Countries that are offering less than energy efficient too.  It's a world effort. The United States can't handle this alone.  Faze out the stuff that doesn't meet the energy efficient standard guidelines.  Don't permit a US company to even ship out the product overseas unless it's energy efficient.
 
Stop hounding US citizens because of global warming.  We didn't create the problem. If you are so worried about it then do something about it, and stop your nagging.
