          The Olympics are going to be cancelled, they just took out 100+ million dollars in cancellation insurance today. Besides the terror risk caused by Bush's invasion, they haven't completed some of the venues. Outdoor swimming in Athens in summer does not work.

                            Is Bush letting the terrorists win?

                            First he gets out of going to Vietnam, now this?

                                  or we can be like kerry and fake an injury and go home early. either way we'll puss-out.

                                  i hope we stay in the olympics.

                                          SPITZ WAS QUOTED IN TWO BRITISH NEWSPAPERS SAYING THE UNITED STATES IS CONSIDERING A WITHDRAWL FROM THE ATHENS GAMES.

                                          BUT THE CHIEF COMMUNCATIONS OFFICER FOR THE U.S.O.C. DARRYL SEIBEL, SAYS, NO WAY, "Absolutely no consideration given to the United States team not being in Athens for the Olympic Games. We have every reason to expect and every reason to believe that our team will be in Athens."


                                          looks like the press jumped on the words of one man like a naked breast at mardi gras.

                                            Do you talk the same shit to our men and women in Iraq who get injured and who put their lives on the line for you every day?

                                            You sound like someone who hates the military and hates America.

                                                  i have big respect for the military, and the people i know who serve in it. however, i have reservations on someone who may have exaggerated their injuries to get a purple heart and qualify to go home earrly. that, in my view, disrespects our troops that had no intention of leaving early.

                                                  kerry is calling the kettle black and mixing politics with war for his gain. both of these characters are clones.

                                                    1) It is an unconfirmed rumor

                                                    2) The decision has nothing to do with Bush but
                                                    is in the hands of the US Olympic commitee.

                                                            The interview is with an old, big swimmer and I don't think it's close to any official word. Athens has 3 times higher budget on security than Atlanta had (approximately $800mil) and during the games all major secret agencies will be here. (not sure if that's good or not haha) I don't believe US athletes or any other athlete will be in any risk.

                                                            As Rich said there's a delay in the construction of some of the avenues due to poor handling of previous govt and because of the bad weather conditions during winter, but it's within the acceptable limits. The cancelation insurance it's just not true. Mark my words and bump this thread in few days for confirmation.

                                                            I wasn't big fan of Athens hosting the games from the very first moment. Everyone involved to olympics here has an obsession with them. This is not healthy and the olympics budget has been increasing for the last six years in terms of billions. The spirit of olympic games died decaded ago and I doubt this is gonna change now or in the future.

                                                                                        just like bush releasing his records eh? just because you release something doesn't mean shit. yes kerry released some records, but he's not releasing the docs regarding the purple heart in question. even then he still gave people the runaround as to where to find everything. also he said he threw away his medals, but now its just the ribbons, which is it? i completely understand his anger after vietnam and tossing medals, but you cant turn around and say how much those medals mean to you just because its a good political move.

                                                                                        when we don't get clear facts from kerry or the said docs then all ANYONE can do is speculate. same with bush and his military record, the people that brought it up recently tried it in the 2000 election and it never got anywhere. just more speculation.

                                                                                        clinton dodged the draft, bush dodged vietnam, and kerry did what he could to leave earlier while his head was still on his neck so he could get home to marry a couple rich broads. welcome to the American presidency.
