The Force Arena Tribe shoots arrows at aid flight By Jonathan Charles, BBC News, Andaman Islands
An Indian helicopter dropping food and water over the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands has been attacked by tribesmen using bows and arrows. There were fears that the endangered tribal groups had been wiped out when massive waves struck their islands. But the authorities say the attack is a sign that they have survived. More than 6,000 people there are confirmed as either dead or missing, but thousands of others are still unaccounted for. The Indian coastguard helicopter was flying low over Sentinel Island to drop aid when it came under attack. A senior police officer said the crew were not hurt and the authorities are taking it as a sign that the tribes have not been wiped out by the earthquake and sea surges as many had feared. The Andaman and Nicobar archipelago is home to several tribes, some extremely isolated. Officials believe they survived the devastation by using age-old early warning systems. They might have run to high ground for safety after noticing changes in the behaviour of birds and marine wildlife. Scientists are examining the possibility to see whether it can be used to predict earth tremors in future. “As everyone knows, I cannot stand Vicente Fox; the “president” of the gutter nation known as Mexico.

The Force Arena VICENTE FOX STEPS IN SOME CHIHUAHUA SQUEEZE By Boortz Did you hear this one? Mexican president Vicente Fox had something to say about the growing ant-illegal immigrant sentiment in the United States. In a public forum Fox offered a theory in support of keeping the borders open for a steady flow of Mexicans into the United States. Here's what Vicente Fox had to say: “There’s no doubt that the Mexican men and women - full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work - are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States.” Work that not even blacks want to do? Uh oh. You can just guess what some American civil rights leaders think of that one. “Not even” blacks want to do these jobs? This morning CNN was taking email offerings as to whether or not Fox's statement was racist. Well, you know how that one turned out. Many would call flashing your brights at a black driver in the fast lane would be called racist. Fact is, though, Fox’s statement would seem to actually get pretty close to suggesting that blacks are somehow inherently inferior to other races ... Hispanics, for instance. The fact is that the Mexican president’s statement is “culturalist.” What has really happened here? Fox made a reference to the black work ethic in America. This is considered to be horribly politically incorrect. The politically correct American is supposed to be of the opinion that young black men are every bit as willing to work just as hard as anybody else. This idea is not supported by reality. At some level most Americans know that this is true, but they also know that they just can't say it. We’re not supposed to say it because it, as CNN is suggesting this morning, is “racist.” It’s not. There are black cultures around the world where hard work is valued and praised. Notice the key word there? Black cultures. The lack of a work ethic among young black males in America is cultural, not racial. It's there. It cannot be hidden. A culture that disdains hard work should not be protected from criticism by barriers of political correctness. “MEET ATTORNEY GENERAL TOKENISTA “Well, the Democraps are known as the black party. It is quiet obvious what the Redumblicans are going to be known for. Wonder where the evil white people will end up?” Tim Enloe,

The Force Arena Gonzales to Succeed Ashcroft, Sources Say By Scott Lindlaw, Nov 10, 11:55 AM (ET) WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush has chosen White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, a Texas confidant and one of the most prominent Hispanics in the administration, to succeed Attorney General John Ashcroft, sources close to the White House said Wednesday. Ashcroft announced his resignation on Tuesday, along with Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a Texas friend of the president's. After a National Security Council meeting, Bush was sitting down Wednesday with Secretary of State Colin Powell, another figure being closely watched for signs of whether he will stay or go. Powell has been largely noncommital when asked about his plans. Gonzales, 49, has long been rumored as a leading candidate for a Supreme Court vacancy if one develops. Speculation increased after Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist announced he has thyroid cancer. Gonzales’ career has been linked with Bush for at least a decade, serving as general counsel when Bush was governor of Texas, and then as secretary of state and as a justice on the Texas Supreme Court. Gonzales has been at the center of developing Bush’s positions on balancing civil liberties with waging the war on terrorism - opening the White House counsel to the same line of criticism that has dogged Ashcroft. For instance, Gonzales publicly defended the administration's policy - essentially repudiated by the Supreme Court and now being fought out in the lower courts - of detaining certain terrorism suspects for extended periods without access to lawyers or courts. He also wrote a controversial February 2002 memo in which Bush claimed the right to waive anti-torture law and international treaties providing protections to prisoners of war. That position drew fire from human rights groups, which said it helped led to the type of abuses uncovered in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Some conservatives also have quietly questioned Gonzales’ credentials on core social issues. And he once was a partner in a Houston law firm which represented the scandal-ridden energy giant Enron. |
