The Iraqi government says they want us to finance their troops, aren't they collecting billions from their oil sales? If so, shouldn't they have plenty of cash for their own troops, without asking us for money?

Mahdi Army expressing siege mentality
AP - 2 hours, 42 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Mahdi Army fighters said Thursday they were under siege in their Sadr City stronghold as U.S. and Iraqi troops killed or seized key commanders in pinpoint nighttime raids. Two commanders of the Shiite militia said Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has stopped protecting the group under pressure from Washington and threats from Sunni Muslim Arab governments.

What say you?

I'll bet that they are republicans, members of NRA, and complain that illegal aliens don't pay taxes.

the irony is that most likely the wife, who is a dentist, probably went to a public, taxpayer-financed dental school, obtained taxpayer-funded student loans, and obtained taxpayer-funded bank loans to start her dental office.

It seems obvious to me that Iran is gearing up for war. A war that will be fought in our back yard against Iranian/South American alliances. Am I alone is this observation?

I read an article today saying that he was serving on a committee there. Chalabi's party lost every race it ran in during the Iraq elections, the Iraqis don't want him. Why is he serving there? He only makes us look less credible.

Bill Clinton sent anti-terrorism bills to the GOP Congress that included reinforced locking doors on commercial passenger jet cock-pits and to have armed US Marshals on flights, but the GOP Congress, saying that Clinton and the Democrats were "irrationally obsessed with bin Laden and al Qaida" and referred to his anti-terrorism bills as "wagging the dog". But the GOP congress was far too obsessed with Monica and watered down the anti-terrorism bills that, had they passed them as Clinton sent it to them would have made 9/11 impossible.

Then when we had bin Laden trapped in Tora Bora, Bush and the GOP just let him go and set up a terrorist training ground in Iraq.

The longer we stay in Iraq, the more terrorists are created, and every intelligence report reaffirms this, and yet the GOP plans to stay longer and create ever more terrorists.

I was laying in bed with my wife when we got a phone call saying that a plane had hit one of the Towers. Being that I worked for a Major Airline at the time, I thought they were mistaken. When they called back and said that another plane hit the Pentagon and got up and said they were crazy until I turned on the tv. Moments later I got a call from work saying that my services were not need. I will remember this for the rest of my life

I have had an opportunity to explore many of the scams out of Africa and a few other nations as well. It is not my intention to lead people to believe that Africa is the only country they originate from, because it is not. Has anyone out there developed a red flag system to identify this practice to safeguard the innocent?
