Happy Face

The full quote is "If indeed it is the case, as alleged by the Pentagon, that the young soldier - Bradley Manning - is behind some of our recent disclosures, then he is without doubt an unparalleled hero." Small difference but we wouldn't want Leazes or Kunt having a pop at him for endangering Wikileaks sources.

Neither does Sarah Palin. That's what makes her cries of "treason!" so hilarious.

Unfortunately Obama has disillusioned every youth in America with his inspirational "yes we Can" campaign and his "but only if the Republicans and coroprate America say we can" presidency. None of them believe they can affect change any more. The entire 18-30 vote completely evaporated in the recent house elections. This weeks Common Sense with Dan Carlin is particularly good on Wikileaks btw. Thanks again for the recommendation.

I think they were best served by not having a front-man like. Still, if this is the best they can come back at Wikileaks with it's pretty paltry. "Here's hundreds of thousands of documents detailing secrets and lies the government have kept concealed" "Oh yeah? Well he smells!"

probably a member of some animal welfare group too In a habitat unfortunately ravaged by poachers & game hunters? Probably not.

They try to suffocate children....

you do spend your life raking around for this sort of thing don't you No, I have a twitter list that links me to many items that might amuse or interest me in the world of current affairs. There's zero raking involved my friend. Here's the list if you'd like to follow it too.... http://twitter.com/#!/MikeAshleyLies/news how much time do you spend doing this ? Reading the news? Maybe an hour a day. Love the way you see actually reading the news as a reason to fault someone. Strange that you deem it necessary to actually go to the match to have an opinion on that though.

Has he sacked anyone for wearing a poppy though?

He's never been charged with a crime to have the charge dropped. An arrest warrant was issued...then withdrawn for lack of evidence.

Agree with this and made a similar point above. I think the leak does the US more help than harm. Getting diplomats to spy on allies is embarrassing, but not outrageous in comparison to the pressure they're apparently getting on Iran. How do you think it will help the US? They've been banging the war drum against Iran for donkeys and getting a lot of stick for it, It does them no harm to have it shown that everyone else wants to get in there privately, even if they won't say so publicly. If the US wanted a war with Iran they could have instigated it already, they have had ample opportunity - see the hostage crisis around 1980. I'm not suggesting anything like a conspiracy theory whereby the US have manipulated a leak to justify an attack though. Just that if they do decide to attack, it would be hard for the states that pushed for it in these memos to condemn it.

These bell-ends that put them up in early Novemeber and take them down late January spend a quarter of the year celebrating christmas. Just ruining what should be something special for the kids tbh.

It seems Robert Gates agrees it's not been a harmful leak at all....

Shut up with your facts. Its disgusting, OK !? Just one more, 20 squads ot 25 players is 500...so the average price for representing a top flight player for a season is £134k Does Hughton earn that much? Not sure what your point is HF...... in my view players should pay agents for ongoing services to them out of their own pocket rather than the clubs. What services do the agents provide to clubs if their clients on with the club already? The only thing clubs should pay agents for is for services to the clubs, in my book that's really facilitating transfers and even then they don't deserve massive fees for basically introducing a player. Most of the time they're representing their clients interests anyway. If clubs are just paying agents for the sake of it, basically to keep them sweet, then it looks like little more than protection money to a bunch of greedy parasites imo. However I can't pretend to know the ins and outs of what they do on a daily basis for the clubs and players so I'd be interested to know if that's unfair. I was agreeing it's a disgrace when agents are getting more compensation from the club than the manager....and not all agents combined....but just the average agent that deals with us.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11882019 Perhaps Pakistan should be the ones to secure US nukes. Aren't the US still the only country we know that has used them on people and lost the codes for their nukes? [/anti-west terrorist talk]

Apart from getting my balls cupped by a fella called Bubba before I board a plane. We can take their word for it they've done nothing wrong though....I mean their record on human rights is second to none...except Uganda, Russia, Chad, Lebanon, Nicaragua.....
