- Civil forfeiture has it's place but is easily abused. It's hard to say whether or not most or all of what she seized was rightfullocustsloth
- Its original form used in drug war. but the money is too good an i doubt its anything good done.yurimon

Assad: Israel is Al-Qaeda's Air Force in Syria
“It’s very clear. Because whenever we make advances in some place, they attack in order to undermine the army. It’s very clear,” Assad told the American Foreign Affairs magazine.
“That’s why some in Syria joke, how can you say that Al-Qaeda doesn’t have an air force? They have the Israeli air force,” he added.

I doubt it's making world news but WTF is going on in Australian politics at the moment? The 3-year term is bad enough in itself, but it's possible there could be a 5th prime-minister in as many years. And they're all fucking useless.
I know Icke was right about some things but even the lizard people look possible after Tony Abbot...

1. There is very little talent in the Australian Parliament. Malcolm Turnbull is probably the most balanced of the lot but he doesn't fit the LNP mold or the ALP mold. He really should form his own centrist party.
2. The Press need a newsbyte every 5 minutes so very little chance of meaningful discussion outside the house.
3. The public are like a bunch of schoolkids with ADHD. Attention span of a gnat. 5 minutes of something going awry & all of a sudden we need a new PM. I hate Abbott but it's just ridiculous.- Nailed it. I can't stand him either but it's way too much about personalities these days.MrT
