The conditions in Louisiana and Mississippi are atrocious and it seems that all those millions of dollars should have made more of a change there than the very slow rebuilding that has been going on. Where is the money and who is in charge of it? How is it being handled to help in rebuilding? Why is there STILL a mass of debris and destruction everywhere?

In case you don't feel like going there...

Second in command of Iraqi Airforce under Saddam. Claims the WMD's were flown to Syria just prior to the invasion by the US. If you don't believe it, that's fine, you just wanna hate Bush as best as you can.

Love it.

I was just curious what the physical requirements are for getting in to the Army National Guard? Like do you have to do the same Basic training that the Army does (I've found those requirements for sit-ups, push-ups, and running).... How exactly does the process work? You sign up, then what? Do you go to training for a couple months or something?

Thanks!

The big news of the day is the foiled terrorist attack on New York. But as I read and hear more about it (especially on foreign TV stations and independant radio) it doesn't sound like much of a plot. The so-called terrorist had no money, no explosives, no knowledge of how to build bombs and actually thought blowing up a tunnel under the water would flood the city (uh, wouldn't the tunnel be what gets flooded and not the city? How does blowing up a tunnel flood the higher ground areas?). Some reports state that the FBI isn't really sure what tunnel these guys were targeting and maybe the "terrorists" weren't sure either.

I'm not saying these guys could not have become dangerous over time, and I don't think it's wrong to arrest them. But does this really need to be the top news story of the day? Should they be treating this like a full-on terror attack when these guys were nowhere near actually being able to do anything?

Forget going at each other's throats with character assassination, and focus on legislation that we could agree on. It might be a long and painfull process, but then people would stop complaining that the other view is "communist".

Patriots?

A question for you Chicken Hawks about Patriotism...

A band like the Dixie Chicks expresses their opinion of GWB, an opinion shared by almost 50% of the American People at the time, and they are shunned, bouycoted, and threatened......another entertainer, say, Toby Keith, who has never spent a day in uniform except when he wears fatigues and his cowboy hat prancing around on stage, makes Millions of $$$$ singing Flag Waving Chest Thumping songs that please and entertain the Sheep.

Who's the Patriot, the Dixie Chicks who voiced their opinion, which is their right under the Constitution, or Toby Keith who joined the long list of Profiteers who have made the "most" from Bush's War?

I just recently bought it on DVD and started watching it. From what I have seen so far it is a great show and it has really opened my eyes to what our military faces in hostile places. Also I have heard of another show/documentary, that was actually filmed by National Guardsmen. Has anyone heard about this or when and if it is out on DVD?

My grandaughter was recently born in Canada her parents are both USA citizens all their lives. They were visiting friends and thinking about some day moving to Canada when the baby came early. They have not recieved a birth certificate yet. People have told me it takes up to a year to obtain one, how can they come back to US with the baby. Does it really take that long? Worried grandma in USA

And had a bunch of palestinians living in Dalas and shooting rockets at Huston.
And sending suiside bombers to the subways of new york.

Just Immagine that Canada was Syria and mexico was the Gaza strip
If a rocket was shot into your childs school yard.

Would you justify shooting them back to kill or would you "negociate" with the terorists?

Whay Israel is not supported on that?

The suicide Bombers were less culprits than those who instigated them to do that stupid work.British govt. says it is going to cost too much to hold the public inquiry.British readers please respond as clearly as possible about your thoughts.
