How long is a demobilization in the army? Is it included in the year of deployment or is it added on to the year of deployment?

Someone told me he was returning from an island filled with child prostitutes with a bottle of illegal viagra. Is Rush totally demented now?

Or is this just more hateful lies from disgusting liberals trying to tear down an honorable man?

AUGUST 29--the day that Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast--should be a date etched in memory like September 11. No one knows the full number of casualties from the hurricane catastrophe, but they are almost certainly higher than September 11. So is the damage and the impact on ordinary people’s lives.

We can't forget this folks.

The middle class in this country is really getting the short end of the stick. Rising gas prices, insurance company robbery, extremely high taxes, and other things that just cost is making it difficult to live a quality life. While this administration is giving tax cuts to the rich, it is going to have to be realized who really makes this place a wonderful place. It is not the government that makes this a great place, it is the workers(consumers and taxpayers).

7,000 of net new jobs were in manufacturing, where wages and benefits are still the best. The big increases were in construction (a gain of 46,000) and especially services (a gain of 135,000), the lowest-wage sector of the economy.

Roughly one in every six jobs in manufacturing has disappeared since 2001--a net decline of 2.8 million.

The difference has been made up by employment growth in the service sector.

In fact, the overall net growth in private-sector employment--a net increase of 2 million between 2001 and the projection for the end of 2006--is almost entirely accounted for by the increased military budget.

Simply put, the money that’s disappearing from working people’s paychecks is showing up on the bottom lines in Corporate America.

What happens when all we do is work in the service industry and these Corporations move as they always do, following international markets?

In every part of their lives, U.S. workers are having a harder time making ends meet.

I mean, don't call me a peace-loving liberal, but can't we sort of get along? I know that we have different opinions, but neither of our opinions are ultimatley, truly, indefinitley correct. I think that this may come down to the science between the ways that boys and girls treat each other during early adolescence. It's possible that all liberals and conservatives are mean to each other because we all crushes on each other!!
Did you ever think of that?

Prior to enlisting in the service in the 60's I had investigated the army as an option and read quite a bit of literature on special forces. Army brochures described the process of enlisting for airborne then applying for special forces. They described ranger training and then further specialized training. A few years ago I ran into a former green beret and we had a conversation about our vietnam experiences. I mentioned a friend by name who was in SF and his SF group. This guy said "Oh, that was an airborne group". I said of course, they're all airborne. He told me I was incorrect. Since then others have told me this guy was correct..that not all SF were airborne. In light of the info I had before that by definition SF were special trained airborne rangers can anyone explain this to me? If all SF groups weren't airborne then, are they now? What about rangers? Back then they weren't all airborne. Are they now? Can one go to ranger training without having done jump school?

G.W., Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice; they're all crazy, they're all evil. Their only God is money. Those stupid enough to support them refuse to see the administration for what it is- a group of totalitarian freaks. Those who see what they're up to refuse to do anything but complain.

C-SPAN aired a discussion this week of a group that is convinced the US planned that horrible day. Ed Schultz, an "Air America" talk show host, blasted these folks for lying that the "BBC had done interviews with 5 to 7 of the hijackers, after 9/11". He predicts, and I agree, that this will come back to bite the left, gravely, in November. I think that anyone that believes the US did this horrible act, also believes FDR planned Pearl Harbor.

I was reading an interview with her and she said that her first priority is "being a Christian", while her second priority is being a "mean-spirited Conservative."
Ok, I can respect that her first priority is her religion. Actually, I admire her for that. Unfortuatley, one would think that making a living from other peoples' pain and slandering everything that the majority of our country stands for would kind of offset however many times she prays. She called the wives' of the men who died in the 9/11 attacks "witches". Ironically, I'm relatively sure that she is the one who would burst into flames if she walked into a church. I'm sure right this second, God is looking down on her, watching her practice her belittling insults in front of an already cracked mirror, just shaking his head.
I don't know many devout Christians who pride themselves on being mean-spirited. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that God did not intend all of his followers to be acid-tongued, morons, right?

Reagan and George H.W Bush gave money, arms, training to Osama Bin Laden and his group in the 1980's.

At the same time they gave money, and arms to Saddam Hussein

Around this time they gave Money, Arms to Iran.

Ever get the feeling these Neo-Con nutcases are working for the enemy?

If these two idiots were never in the white house in the 1980's would we not have to deal with these monsters?

Is there any other enemy's the Neo-Cons have helped that we should know about?

I watch police videos whenever I can.
It always appears that an officer gets shot or injured when they are working solo.
Why does your department allow one-man units to go out on the streets.
Especially the Troopers where it takes forever to get a back-up.
Is 'money' the only reason?

It started by Marco Polo a spy sent by the Roman Catholic Church that lead to the Crusade War in the Middle East.
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Sikes & Picko aggreement was formed to divide the Arab World between Brittin and France.
WWI was for colonization, and WWII was for retaking and Colonizing. NATO was formed based on the Winner Colonizing Countries, and UN was formed based on the same thing.
Many of the answers were driven towards that Jews are Jews because of faith and all Arabs are moslems, and that is not true and proves to me the ignorance of many people with racist background. Jews are being used as tool.
Research about the Skulls and Bones and read article at www.whatreallyhappened.com were you would find many answers.
There is a hidden war driven by the western white man using the newly created terrorist state to cause desctruction in the middle East and to weaken the Arab Unity. So the white Western Power comes in and take what is left of the middle east

Why can't the Goverment of USA put pressure on the Mexico Goverment to make their country a better place so their people will not run from their own country,I know it is none of our business but when we have 20 million illegal immigrants in USA it becomes our business,and we can't send them to a country full of corruption because they will come back,Bush needs to do something so those people could go back home and stay home. Mexico it's so corrupt. Their goverment sucks,they are very greedy and don't care about the poor. but yet they are some poor people their that do share the little things they have with others,because they know the strugle. Honestly it's hard to explain,I have heard from alot of mexicans that everything boils down to Money & Power, those who have it live good."some say if you have money you have power" wrong not in Mexico, you need both.Because if you only have money,they will steal it from you in a heart beat. kidnapping a family member for ransom,Yes that is one of the most things that happens in mexico "Kidnapings".They do it to actress and actors all the time.They did it to the singer Thalia(Tommy motola wife's) with her two sister,she had to pay big money to get her sisters back..The police over there is useless they are so corrupt and greedy,they will not help you in a emergency if you are poor.Alot of teens don't make it to 20, They are alot of rapist & killers. There is this town that a mother went to report her daughter missing to the cops and they screamed at her and kicked her out of the police station. They are really mean.Not everyone knows how corrupt it is, The goverment here in USA should do something to help them so people won't have to suffer in their own country.But the goverment in mexico tries to look good in the eyes of usa,but it is not good at all,it the most corrupt country,They really need help.
2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10546934

2006 http://www.osac.gov/ and click on Mexico.
It's worst know 2006 Kidnapping for ransom is an established criminal activity in Mexico. Most incidents go unreported to police. Unofficial estimates of kidnapping levels vary wildly, from 600 to 3,000 per year countrywide. In most cases, the ransom is paid and victim set free. The usual victim practice is not to notify police authorities, as the popular belief is that the police may be involved in the crime or certainly are unable to resolve the situation. Mexico City police are widely considered to be underpaid, poorly trained and corrupt. From senior police in league with narco/organized crime elements down to the routine bribes paid daily by motorists, Mexican police enjoy little respect from the general population. Reporting crime is an archaic, exhausting process in Mexico, and is widely perceived to be a waste of time except for the most serious of crimes or where a police report is required for insurance purposes.

So if you think that is dangerous,how do you think USA will be in a couple of years the same as MEXICO,and no matter how manny times they send them back and close the border real good,they will still find a way to come in and who could blame them,no one want's to live in a country so corrupt,USA needs to fix that place in order for them to stay there,and everything goes back to normal here. Because there corruption is starting to cross the USA.
They have been alot of reports in june of illegal immigrants raping young girls here in USA..
USA needs to do something fast.
