"Milliard" is a French-derived word meaning the number 10^9. It is unused in American English and is rare in other forms of English, though occasionally encountered, after having been replaced widely by the short scale "billion" during the 20th century. The numeral "thousand million" is unambiguous. The word "milliard" is a common word to many other languages.

Ur so full of it amsterdam, I dont know my facts? Yeah every president was warned, but as soon as Bush got in office, he took al-Quaida right off the front burner (even when the Clinton administration warned W' and company of the threat al-Quaida posed before leaving office.) because he was already itching to restart his daddies war in Iraq.Quote:

Reguardless of which administration started the fued between al-Quaida and the US, the point is; of course they were gonna strike back and we should have been prepared for it! I mean for fucks sake, like you said, we've had fairly conclusive intelligence (and other warnings.) about this for years, but apparently Bush decided that that intelligence wasn't half as important as the inconclusive rumor(and yes thats all it was, a rumor, 1 that was started by sadaam himself.) that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
Its not just W's fault we weren't prepared for 911, many dropped the ball on that 1, but maybe if he wasn't taking vacations at his stupid fucking ranch all the time, he'd of concerned himself with our security and do his fucking job. How bout now huh? Years later and he still hasn't beefed up airport security. In fact our homeland security seems to consist entirely of that stupid color coded alert system and starting more wars. He doesnt have ne1 guarding our water supply, our chemical plants or our nuclear power plants! Thats now, after the attacks! If we get attacked again, what would his excuse be then huh? He's into his 2nd term and he still hasn't done the most basic things to protect our homeland. There isn't any reason to defend that prick. He's been spoiled all his life, and he's done nothing but help his buddies in big business since he took office.
Oh and while im on this bush bashing rant, i might as well mention his drug policies. Bush refers to his substance abuse as youthful indiscretions and therefore it should be forgiven, but when it comes to other peoples 'youthful indiscretions' he has no tolerance whatsoever. In fact he doesn't even have tolerance for those who need to smoke pot medicinally (he is responsible for the federal task force that is busting all those medicinal growers and users in California!), which by the way, obviously wasn't the reason he was smokin it. I mean godamn, he is responsible for putting cancer and aids patients (not to mention all the other medicinal users/growers.) who grow their own medicinal crops (which they have prescriptions for, and need for their great suffering and pain.) in in prison! This is the fuckin crook you support amsterdam? BTW, is that name supposed to be ironic?
P.S. I never saw fahrenheit 911.
