we are spending $6,300 a second, $380,000 a minute, $6,600 per man, women, and child

3000 vets have head injuries costing $600,000 to $5 million per person lifetime care..not to mention the human cost.

Up to 67% of first gulf war vets are disabled costing 2 billion every year...

New study by Milken institute review shows costs to exceed $2 trillion.

This is four times more than giving universal health care to the uninsured would cost...

We spend 45% of our entire budget for wars past and present and for military.. Can you imagine the good all this money could do?

Can we not find a better use for this tremendous amount of money?

Under the Free Trade Act with the US? Is that why Malcolm Watson is here serving a 3 year probation sentence rather than being in the US serving jail time?

That is,if she's found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.Or would the U.S. judicial system deem it too harsh because she's a woman. There seems to be more and more stories of women(in the United States,anyway) killing children,especially their own.

Okay, ....what's going on with produce lately? We used to only have to worry about undercooked meat making us sick or maybe cross contamination from raw meat. Now we have to be leary of vegtables too? What is contaminating the produce?

P.W. BOTHA is dead. Who could believe that when he was torturing south african leaders and killing innocent civilians during aparthead, it wouldn't last. Well i can't say, i'm very very sorry he's dead coz he was one of the meanest white racist people on earth.

American troops are stupid. John Kerry just made public something everybody already knew. Even the U.S. Government admits this. Army recruiters target poor neighborhoods with uneducated youth. If you're not smart enough to goto college you will end up in the army.

If it is a global problem, which i think is undenyable, how can the government tax only uk citizens for the rest of the world to carry on taking the piss. Yet again more of my hard earned money is being taken from me. Is no one else even slightly concerned that we are being used. I believe we should all do our bit, but this has to be global, not just by taxing the hell out of an already over taxed nation, that realisticly will make no change to the enviroment on its own. Also if we have GREEN TAX what guarantee will we get that it is doing what it was intended for? Where will the money go? Who will benefit from the tax? Will there be a scale on who pays more or less? Who decides?

"if you don't [study], you get stuck in Iraq"
I think I regret voting for him back in 2004. Didn't I read somewhere that his grades back in college were worse than Bush's?

-When he blames the White House for what he alone said last night in California when he insulted our troops by calling them stupid -and when he calls the rest of us CRAZY with the claim : "If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq" ...."they're crazy"..
Doesn't John Kerry have a history of criticizing American troops ?
Didn't he do that in 1971 ? And didn't the Swift Boats vets expose Kerry for making it all up ?

With Blairs leadership coming to a close,is he acting on global warming because he wants to go down in history as "The Man Who Tried To Save The World"?
Or am I just being cynical?

The situation in Iraq....
The economy....
Health care...
Terrorism....
Immigration....
Environment/global warming....
Energy policy.....
Other....
Unsure....

I would say energy. Most of our problems stem from our addiction to and over-dependence on foreign oil. Just a small increase in average gas mileage of our cars would be equivalent to many ANWRs for instance.

And why is the drive -by media ignoring the fact that Kerry just insulted all those who gave their lives in Iraq serving their country for a cause they believed in ( and all still in harm's way ) with his hateful malicious statements : " if you don't make an effort to be smart and get a college education you'll end up in Iraq ".
Apparently if you're not John Kerry-you're not smart . There are many smart Americans who have never been to college-and most of them smarter than John Kerry .
