Democrats seize control of House
Guests cheer as early election results are announced at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee election night party in Washington
The Democrats are celebrating gains in the House and Senate
Democrats have won control of the US House of Representatives in mid-term polls for the first time in 12 years.

The party surpassed the 15 extra seats needed to wrest power from the Republicans, but the Senate race remains too close to call.

Democratic hopes of taking the Senate hinge on Montana and Virginia, but Virginia is facing a likely recount.

Correspondents say Democratic gains reflect voter discontent over Iraq, government corruption and the economy.

The BBC's Jamie Coomarasamy in Washington says the results have changed the political landscape in the US, and the last two years of the Bush presidency will be very different from those before.

With projected results still coming through, the Democrats had gained 29 House seats from the Republicans.

Democrats are also projected to have won four of six target Senate seats - and are leading in Montana and Virginia in races too close to call.

President George W Bush has scheduled a news conference for 1800 GMT - in which correspondents say he will give the first clue on whether he intends to compromise with his newly powerful opponents or fight.

Analysts say control of the House will allow Democrats to choose to launch inquiries into the handling of Iraq, and could lead to significant changes on domestic issues like taxation and health care.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi - poised to become the chamber's first female speaker - spoke of the need for a new direction in Iraq.

Korek ka dyan bro,pero tingin ko nakaporma na naman ang safety measure ng tate para ma counter yan at matindi naman ang intel nila,actually nagpabaya lang naman sila kaya nangyari yung 9/11,dahil me report na bago pa mangyari yun na me balak talaga na tirahin ang tate pero di sila naniwalang me kapasidad gumawa ng ganun ang mga terorista.Nangyari na nuon sa atin yan,natandaan mo pa ang matinding bakbakan nuong panahon ni apo lakay sa mindanao,pero tingnan mo ngayon ok na naman ang situation sa mga kapatid nating muslim at kristyano sa katimugan.

Hopefully bro.Pero mukhang pabaya pa rin lalo na sa kanilang border.Yung libo-libong trailer container na pumapasok sa kanila araw-araw di lahat naiinspect bro. Isang maliit na package lang ang kailangan para i-detonate ang Nuke bomb wasak ang isa o dalawang city.

Tama ka bro tungkol sa Pinas, pero iba ang case ng Middle East against Tate. Matindi ang "hate " nila bro kung pwede lang kainin ng buhay ang Kano gagawin e...Lol:D

Oo nga tol,napakalawak kasi ng border na dapat bantayan at talagang mahihirapan sila,yung mga illegal na pagpuslit na lang ng mga tao hirap nilang pigilan eh,di ba?saka yung sinasabi mong hatred sa mga kano matindi talaga,yun lang ang malaking kaibahan.Mabuti pa nga dyan sa lugar nyo walang masyadong probelema,sa tate magulo.

i think kahit na 2 years na lang ang nalalabi sa term nila, kung may pagkakataon ay i-i-impeach pa din nila si bush para managot sa mga pagkakasala nya like yung pag-gyera nya sa iraq recently lang.

There was a lot of misleading information given to W. Bush. Hell, even the British Intelligence and Russian Intel gave the US wrong information about Iraq and its alleged link to Al-Queda. The whispers here in Washington DC is that Iran might have actually planted these information in order to get the US to remove Iraq from power. Now Iran is the only Big Guy on his block.

Bush is not going to be impeached. Many heads will roll before the President is implicated.

some analysts say that bush's sins are far too big than nixon's watergate scandal. kay nixon, pinag-resign na lang sya kesa ma-impeach!

tama ka, bro, iran is a threat to the us, at matagal ng pinag-iinitan ng US yan eh. there are some speculations na kaya tinira ng usa ang iraq ay dahil sa pinu-provoke nila ang iran na maging involve. matagal na ngang pinapatupad ng usa ang economic sanctions nila sa iran eh. pero iran won't bother, marami pa rin silang economic ties sa asia like syria, japan, china, etc., ang russia ay isang bansa na nag-su-supply sa kanila ng mga products like equipments, even nukes! so, mahirap tibagin ang iran!

Ganyan naman ang mga al qaeda na yan,mga bold ang statements dahil nakatago sila at patalikod kung lumaban,pero in the end wala din namang mangyayari sa kanila,tingnan mo nangyari sa kanila,dito sa europe medyo tibag na splintercells nila,marami ngang nadakip dahil matindi na rin ang intel nila d2 eh yung mga nahuli nga me mga tapes pa nung mga naunang nag suicide sa ngalan ng alakdan nila at me mga paraan pa ng pag gawa ng bomba ha,hanggang ngayon nag re recruit pa sila dahil kaunti na lang ang naniniwala sa kanila lalo pag naunawaan nila ang severity ng ginawa nila na maraming napahamak sa kagagawan nila.
