IceBuster, I am uncertain as to the accuracy of this information, but I could certainly be wrong. In any event, more funding is certainly needed to further this research and bring it to fruition. The govt. funds other medical research, refusing to fund this on religious grounds is a violation of the Constitutional requirement of seperation of church and state, in my opinion.

Henry L.,

I don't recall Kerry criticizing Bush for engaging in any multi lateral negotiations with anyone, but again, I could be wrong.

The intel in question was tainted and manipulated and wrongly interpreted by an administration with an agenda.

As to the issue of Kerry voting against the appropriation of $87 billion for the war effort, that was done for two reasons; First, to protest the way Bush took us to war and did not live up to the understanding that Kerry and others had as to the process leading up to any military action, and Second, to protest extensive tax cuts that favored the wealthy, while simultaneously spending this money for an unjust war. Kerry knew full well that the bill would pass with or without his vote, and took that opportunity to make a political statement and demonstrate his opposition to the President's agenda.

As to Hussein's alleged Al-Queda connection, if a terrorist in the U.S. sought and received medical treatment at a hospital in NYC, does that mean that Rudy Guiliani is connected to Al-Queda?

I am highly insulted that you equate me with a terrorist. How dare you! That is a short sighted and invalid allegation, and a cheap shot!

And exactly HOW do you plan to defeat liberalism? The last time I checked, we live in a free society, not a fascist military state. As long as we practice democracy and have a free and open society, you will have liberalism, as you put it. But then, I suppose you would prefer a fascist military state, where you and the rest of the neo-cons can control what everyone says, thinks, reads, views on TV, hence the right wing support of Bush's patriot "ACT", aptly named because that is exactly what it is... an ACT!
