9. It was a good piece.
Said the number of people without insurance has risen 10% in just the last 2 years.

More importantly, they talked about the fact that many, if not most of the people without coverage are small business owners, free lance workers, contractors, etc. who cannot afford coverage. These are hard working people (their words) who aren't left with enough money after day to day expenses to buy insurance.

Very balanced reporting.

7. yeah, and all, but did you see pathetic WH stenographer King
go on and on and ON about what a liar Clarke is, and how the brave WH is going on the offensive against him, citing all this CRAP (without refutation, much less context) from the liars?

really disgusting

8. I quit watching Dobbs about a year ago...
After he stated: (loosely quoted)
"The UN's relevance is outdated."

Looks like he might finally be changing his tune.

13. Really? I'm shocked it's so few.
People on the "other side" openly hate the UN.

14. I would be inclined to say "yes" but declined to vote.
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 07:23 PM by rinsd
If the UN didn't show the propensity to cut and run when the situation gets bad, I would have more confidence in them.

Rwanda, Kosovo of late, even Iraq. The UN pulls up stakes when the situation gets dicey.

I am also not sure if going under the UN banner is going to change many minds in regards to occupation.


On Edit: Whoops didn't notice this was for UN partnership and not takeover.
