By the way, still want to take that $500 bet or is that too much Alpo for you to handle.

Originally your doggie-po was humorous, at least it was original, but it, like everything else about your posts, is getting boring TWO points:

1. You make a comment that is off the topic of the quote you listed, then add a link. It is obvious to me that one more you are trying to change the subject.

If someone else would do this, Iwould be curious enough to read it, With you, I have already learned to be very suspicious. because most of what you link (and post) is quite immaterial to the issue.

2. As usual, You don't pay attention. I have never been interested in a bet of $500 with you. In fact,I have stated that I would NEVER make such a bet with you because I have absolutely NO confidence that you would pay of. IMHO, your honesty is a serious question.

I made an offer of a "special" type of Bet with you of $50 on each of the two chambers of Congress. whereas the loser would pay $50 to the Forum--Not to the winner. That one you would have found harder to get out of.

You, truly, must be humor-impaired. The link was to a story on foiled terrorist attempts since 9-11 written by the Washington Post.
Here's the exchange in case you can't remember back that far.

It certainly loses its impact when you have to explain jokes to the clueless.

There's no question about your honesty. You've been caught way too many times for there to be ANY doubt about your veracity.

I took you up on your bet no less than two times, but, I'm guessing that the Admin is either discouraging betting or just doesn't like our banter because they have been deleted. If this one survives, you're on...for the third time.
Like I stated before, $50 or $100 isn't goin to be the difference between steak or Alpo to me.

I don't see the liberal media writing hundreds of articles stating that "Bush lied about foiled plots", do you? Certainly, they have tried to find a way to rebut his claim and have failed, so I'd say, "Yes, it's money in the bank".

The mainstream media, liberal or otherwise, are corporate entities and aren't going to do anything that would be detrimental to their corporate interests, so the notion that they've tried to hold Bush accountable in any meaningful way is laughable. Bush is a corporate tool and showing him for the liar that he is would lead to a considerable degree of "messiness", to borrow from Rumsfeld's parlance.

If our media engaged in honest-to-god investigative journalism, very few of the politicians, Republicans or Democrats, who hold office would have managed to get elected and the two parties would have long since lost their stranglehold on our political system.

Do you read The New York Times? They have been assaulting the Bush administration for a few years now - to the point of publishing material that was supposed to have been kept private. They will go so far as to actually inform the terrorists of the plans used to track their conversations. That seems a bit "over the top" even for the far left. So don't worry: there are plenty of media sources who are going after the Bush administration with everything they have - whether it is ethical or not.

Taking issue with some of his tactics is a far cry from going after him with everything they have.

Taking issue? Telling the terrorists how they are being recorded? I asked you if you read the Times. I can assure you: you will love it. The paper is a non-stop barrage of anti-Bush, anti-GOP articles.

I've read the Times numerous times over the years and for the most part, I'd say it's best suited to lining bird cages.

They're obviously a bit concerned for their own privacy and rightly so, I would say.

It certainly loses its impact when you have to explain jokes to the clueless.

RESPONSE It is you that doesn't seem to "GET it" Your Comedy Certral routine goes over like a lead balloon. I WILL NOT read any of your links. I will respond only to what You post in english on this Forum.Do you get it now???


There's no question about your honesty. You've been caught way too many times for there to be ANY doubt about your veracity.
RESPONSE More third grade variety, "I did but you didn't" type of response.



I took you up on your bet no less than two times,
RESPONSE I remerber one of then but you perverted the terms. I responded with precise terms but never heard from you.

If this one survives, you're on...for the third time.
Like I stated before, $50 or $100 isn't going to be the difference between steak or Alpo to me.
RESPONSE No. I'm not, unless you respond with precise terms, I trust you even less now than I did when I made the offer.

How enlightened of you. You sit there and make wisecracks about my statements but are too lazy to see that I back up my posts with facts. Keep that head of yours buried in the sand if it works for you, pops.

I back up every statement that I make with facts. Just because you are too lazy to read those links doesn't mean that my statements are false. Find one instance in which I wasn't truthful, if you can.

I know the terms, I have agreed to the terms three times now yet you still hem and haw. Here, I'll spoonfeed you yet again.
Terms. If the Democrats gain control of the House, I pay the admin $50. If the Democrats fail to gain control, YOU pay the admin $50.
The same bet applies to the Senate. Either way, the admin will be $100 better off.

Here's what the FBI says:
Quote:
These improvements have produced tangible and measurable results. We significantly increased
the number of human sources and the amount of surveillance coverage to support our counterterrorism
efforts. We developed and refined a process for briefing daily threat information, and we considerably
increased the number of FBI intelligence reports produced and disseminated. Perhaps most
important, since September 11, 2001, we have participated in disrupting dozens of terrorist
operations by developing actionable intelligence and better coordinating our counterterrorism
efforts.
