Not my words but those of 'A senior U.S. diplomat', However some of us have been saying this for several months.

It might be a little sad that we have to go back this far, but I think our greatest president was Thomas Jefferson.

The difference between enlisted and officer are obvius, but summing it up- Officer commands and has a degree of some sort, while enlisted listens, obeys, and doesnt usually have college degrees..But what is a Warrant Officer?

-Do you need a college degree?
-Would you 'enlist' as you would to be enlisted? Or how to become a Warrant Officer?
-Iv tried to find information and noticed they had their own pay and ranks..But is this straight from High School or from College?..And if its right from High School why would people go enlisted when they can go Warrant Officer?

(Links would be good, But Id rather have answers in your own writing if possible)

--Thanks

Do you believe a person should have to prove citizenship with a government-issued ID before being allowed to cast a vote on election day? Suppose the government covered the cost of issuing voter ID's to all US citizens?

The usa only opened iraq to more terrorists. they are coming out of the wood work now. When saddam reigned in Iraq his methods may have been harsh but it was no where near the blood bath it has become since the usa invaded the country. ok admittedly, saddam executed a lot of people perhaps, some of them was innocent but you have to respect the fact that he had three warring factions living in iraq. If he had allowed even one of those groups a little power it would have been as bad as it is now under the usa control.

Corporations use illegals and pay them low wages, the illegals make up for this by using social benifit programs. The American tax payers pay for the products as well as the programs that allow illegals to be able to live in the U.S., does this sound fair to you ?

The Democrats said how Republicans are 'corrupt' or have 'scandals'. Hello?! corruption and scandal is what Democrats live for. Its their trademark. Rather hypocritical of them isnt it?

I am not American.I don't live in the US.My various sources are international and not just from the American press.
Just looking at the economy,the following are facts.

Average economic growth of 4.0 percent per year, compared to average growth of 2.8 percent during the previous years. The economy grew for 116 consecutive months, the most in history.[16]
Creation of more than 22.5 million jobs—the most jobs ever created under a single administration, and more than were created in the previous 12 years. Of the total new jobs, 20.7 million, or 92 percent, were in the private sector.[17]
Economic gains spurred an increase in family incomes for all Americans. Since 1993, real median family income increased by $6,338, from $42,612 in 1993 to $48,950 in 1999 (in 1999 dollars).[18]
Overall unemployment dropped to the lowest level in more than 30 years, down from 6.9 percent in 1993 to just 4.0 percent in January 2001. The unemployment rate was below 5 percent for 40 consecutive months. Unemployment for African Americans fell from 14.2 percent in 1992 to 7.3 percent in 2000, the lowest rate on record. Unemployment for Hispanics fell from 11.8 percent in October 1992 to 5.0 percent in 2000, also the lowest rate on record.[17]
Inflation dropped to its lowest rate since the Kennedy Administration, averaging 2.5 percent, and fell from 4.7 percent during the previous administration.[19]
The homeownership rate reached 67.7 percent near the end of the Clinton administration, the highest rate on record. In contrast, the homeownership rate fell from 65.6 percent in the first quarter of 1981 to 63.7 percent in the first quarter of 1993.[20]
The poverty rate also declined from 15.1 percent in 1993 to 11.8 percent in 1999, the largest six-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years. This left 7 million fewer people in poverty than there were in 1993.[21]
The surplus in fiscal year 2000 was $237 billion—the third consecutive surplus and the largest surplus ever.[20]
President Clinton worked with the Republican-led Congress to enact welfare reform. As a result, welfare rolls dropped dramatically and were the lowest since 1969. Between January 1993 and September of 1999, the number of welfare recipients dropped by 7.5 million (a 53 percent decline) to 6.6 million. In comparison, between 1981-1992, the number of welfare recipients increased by 2.5 million (a 22 percent increase) to 13.6 million people
