white house press briefing with ari fleischer, tuesday, april 22, 2003 - 12:30 pm

mokhiber: msnbc reported this week that israel's nuclear weapons arsenal rivals that of france and britain. given that arsenal, does the president support syria's call to make the middle east a region free of weapons of mass destruction?

ari fleischer: the united states has always supported the middle east as a region free of weapons of mass destruction, lester.

mokhiber: if i could follow up. does israel have nuclear weapons?

ari fleischer: that's a question you need to ask to israel, lester.

[asking the israelis to confirm their possesion of wmd? ... as if that is unknown already.. o, daddy... may i laugh my *ss off for that kind of answer? lol]

related to april, 21st day... here is a news from gender-equality department :

women were just as good as men at virtual navigation when they had a large computer display. ... a standard monitor gives a viewing angle of about 35°. with a larger screen, giving a viewing angle of 70°, women navigated better. and with two screens delivering a 100° angle, women matched men's spatial abilities. "the gender difference simply disappeared," says [d expert] [more details]

maybe this is why while i feel a.o.k with that 29" tv at home, my wife has been banging my head instead, asking me to upgrade the tv to 34" or more... i guess i have to blame this headache to d 'women's lack of normal spatial viewing ability'.... no pun intended ;)
after a possible move to syria has been condemned, it looks like u.s. is still agressive on north korea.... it is indeed true that north korea may have wmd (weapon of mass destruction)... the word is still may, while it is ironic that wmd facilities on israel is barely noticed by public knowledge..

and talk about democracy in iraq, what if this democracy would result that u.s. will be asked by the iraqis to leave iraq... will they go?


nice propaganda poster, dude :)

one whisper from d hush-hush department said, some multi-millions dollars has been promised to pour to aceh should aceh could get its independence from indonesia... these million dollars would directly be invested on natural-resource processing sector. for one factory in this sector, the amount could reach from ten to hundred mills... [while the money is not that big for a company within that sector, the amount surely will boost d capability for generating products, thus support d ability for aceh to grow as a natural resource producer] the interesting part is that, the money would come not from europe, uk, nor us.. but from one middle east country with a history as a place for g.a.m. military training some years ago...

imho, that figures why birokrat aceh saat ini ribut soal 'apa perlu orang aceh jadi anak nakal dahulu untuk bisa mendapatkan bagian dana apbn yang lebih besar?'... imho lagi, the core to aceh is about money.. or in a more noble way to say it, its about economic fairness between aceh and jakarta..
