Question by TOOTAl2: Clinton calls withdrawal of troops from Iraq ‘top priority’?
Why does Clinton want to pull the troops out of iraq right away and risk an unstable middle east. and have the price of oil go way up. Only 2 troops were killed in iraq last month. So why would they take this risk?
is it because they hate bush?

Answer by Phil Let us go to how the war began. It started by selling lies to us that Saddam has WMD’s. Those were never found. Then if you follow the media news over last 4 years, you will see that the face of the enemy was changed every 2-3 months. For a few days it was WMD’s, then Saddam, then his Sons, then Abu-Musab something, then Muqtada Al-Sadr, then elections, then stability, then democracy etc etc and now sectarian voilence ….and another one is “Baghdad Crackdown”. Each face of the enemy suggesting that once this is over everything is going to be normal. These faces given to the enemy are nothing but to hijack the minds of the public, to divert from the fact that NOT A SINGLE IRAQI wants America there. We should just put in our minds and think where do these so called “terrorists” enter into Iraq from? They are born everyday within Iraq. What would a single person whose whole family is killed in a raid and he/she is left alone? God forbid, if I were that person, I will become a suicide bomber and kill a few soldiers who were responsible for the raid. This has what been happenning since the war started. The war killed more innocent Iraqi’s in 4 years than what 10 Saddams would have killed in 50 years.
Good that atleast now the troops being called back is looked at with top priority. Atleast another few thousands of lives will be saved now

During scuba assessments on July 12th 2011, the Florida panhandle shallow seafloor sediment shows signs of widespread presence of dispersed oil. A team of research divers scoured the Florida panhandle looking for signs of BP oil. What they did find was a desolate seafloor, with few signs of life. The sand should be tan or white and look like a desert floor with ripples and ridges of tan sand. Marine life should be attracted to the disturbance of bottom sediments, with small fish darting into the cloud of silt and crabs scurrying away to bury themselves in hiding. Rays and starfish should be abundant. What they filmed was a scene of dark desolate bottom sediment where dark sediment ejected from the animal burrows sat in piles of contrasting colors caused by contamination from the BP oil spill. ireport.cnn.com
“I think the environmental impact of this disaster is likely to be very, very modest,” claimed BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward following last year’s Deepwater Horizon disaster on April 20. But in fact, “The spill here in the Gulf of Mexico is the worst environmental disaster in the history of our continent.” Greenpeace has been working with independent scientists from universities around the country to find out what has really happened to the oil, and what the long term impacts will be on this critical, fragile ecosystem.

Methanol / Anti-freeze Leak From OI 3 ROV 2 August 22, 2010 8:00 PM EST while BP tries to remove drill pipe from BOP after static kill More here: blog.alexanderhiggins.com
Starts off slow – but gets NASTY! ROV films oil leak coming from cracks in a ROCK on the sea floor. BP denies that oil or gas are leaking from cracks in the sea floor on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. This is just one of many videos that may prove otherwise. The video here seems to skip frames so here are two slow motion clips that show that this is definitely not silt being kicked up by the ROV. www.youtube.com www.youtube.com If your still not convinced check out 2:47 in the video and watch the globs of oil float across the screen. Follow this story here: blog.alexanderhiggins.com This video was recorded from the Viking Poseidon — ROV 1 on June 13th, 2010 at 2:58 AM EST. Location of the sea floor crack leaking: N:10431633.05 E: 1202852.27 Some things to point out: After rewinding it a few times you can see the clear progression of oil coming from the rocks: At 2:45 coagulated oil rises from the cracks pretty much confirming this is oil and not mud. Toward the end of the video you see bubbles of gas and can clearly see this a rock formation on the sea floor. My calculations indicate: The ROV is 19.11 feet north and 55.75 feet west of the leak point. The ROV is 58.93 feet away from the leak point. Video Rating: 4 / 5

There has been a great effort to mislead the public regarding the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It has now come out that the ‘live feed’ of the leak is of a smaller leak, about 5-6 miles away from the one that is spewing about 100 000 barrels of oil into the Guf every day. Last Wednesday, May 28, BP made and attempt at the ‘top kill’ method of pumping drilling mud into the hole and claimed soon after that this was somewhat working. But on MSNBC, Nicholas Pozzi of WOW Energy Solutions said the probability of top-kill working is low, may also cause explosion and blow top off, making it worse. Have not put an o-ring in it, so they are basically just pumping mud into the water.( An O-ring is a mechanical gasket to join 2 parts together, creating a seal.) www.youtube.com May 29 it was revealed that the top kill method has failed, as anticipated by Mr. Pozzi. www.youtube.com Ixtoc 1 Oil rig blowout of 1979 Drilling mud being replaced with seawater (in this case accidentally, as opposed to the intentional replacement of it at Deepwter Horizon, overseen by Haliburton) led to the blowout of this rig in the Gulf of Mexico in 1979. All methods of stopping the leak failed except for drilling a release well. You would think something would have been learned by the oil industry from this experience, but BP is nonetheles attempting all the methods that failed at Ixtoc 1. www.project-syndicate.org UN VEHICLES AT REYNOLD”S AIRPARK TheTrutherGirls blog entry thetruthergirls.wordpress.com E …

www.ussunlight.com Power your fan after dark The addition of the Solar Controller with Dual Mode Technology will enable your Solar Powered Attic Fan to run after sunset or when there is no light available from the sun. When there is no sunlight available to power the fan and the Solar Controller has the optional house power connection enabled, the Solar Controller will cycle house electricity for 8 minutes every half-hour in order to power the fan. This will allow your attic temperature to continue to drop after sunset and help remove the hot, stagnant air that can build up on those warm summer evenings. Real-time status updates: The remote control readout on the Solar Controller sends a radio signal through your walls and ceiling to give you a real-time status update on fan operation to let you know if your fan is running and if the power source is from the solar panel or the house electricity. No more questioning if your fan is running! This patent pending, industry-first advancement will give you the peace-of-mind that your fan is functioning and your attic is being ventilated. An intelligent device: The Solar Controller monitors both temperature and humidity optimizing your fans operation for maximum performance in all weather conditions. The Solar Controller intelligently limits the amount of electricity used to power the fan, so it is a perfect alternative to traditional electric powered vents. With the built-in temperature and humidity sensors, the Solar Controller … Video Rating: 5 / 5

Question by : Are governments and oil companies secretly hiding free energy technology from the public?
I keep hearing conspiracy theories that governments do not want us to have access to free energy technology such as cold fusion and that they work with oil companies in order to silence anyone who finds out or invents something that will give us Unlimited energy.
Apparently Nicola Tesla is one of the casualties as they have kept hidden his papers that give proof of free energy.

Answer by Aenima Due to the First Law of Thermodynamics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, just transformed from one form to another. Free energy in theory doesn’t exist, unless Nicola Tesla was a sorcerer. XD
