If not, why not? How about Yahoo, Diebold, Raytheon, Boeing, or Lockheed Martin?

Should the US government hire the one who gives the lowest bid?

All these companies are capable of delivering.

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency

"..... In March, 2001, he began his third tour at the Defense Department as the 28th Deputy Secretary of Defense.

In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad. In March 2003, he got his wish. In the process, Wolfowitz became the most influential US deputy defense secretary ever. The Post added: "The war in Iraq had many authors:

"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too....."

If you take into consideration that they have been the most persecuted people of all time, how dare any pesron call them terrosists. If they are "terrorists", then why does America support them. So if you call Israelis terrorists, then you must call yourself a terrorist for being an American. On top of that, why are they called terrorists when they are God's chosen people. I feel people really need to educate theirselves before they talk down on the Israelis because of sheer ignorance and athiesm. I want legit reasons please. Oh and please tell me how many family members you or someone you know of have died because of "Israels" terrorism, vs the many people I know who have died as a direct result of islamic terrorism.

We need a bi-partisan, honest, and open enquiry. Not the washed up rubbish we were last fed.

What with Rep. Foley's smokescreen out, why won't they let the American People know about Rep. Condit's "Disposal Services?" Is it because it would be a very long list of Congressmen and others? www.rickhyatt.freeservers.com if the NSA will let you through...

How about job training? Maybe a time limit, no lifetime leeches. I like the idea of social programs being in place just in case someone is down on their luck. Though it has to be better regulated, how about making it a state issue and not a federal issue?

Look, I know about as much about our nations politics as the average 35 year old, (BTW I am 20). I'm not an expert, I don't watch the news every day, but I do like Bush for my own reasons which I won't go into right now. Actually, I want to hear from all those people who keep complaining about him. Tell me why. Why don't you like him? Ok, granted he should NEVER give his own speeches, and sure, we could find a few obvious personal motives for some of the decisions he has made. The truth is, though, that we could find many politicians as least as corrupt if not more, and show me a human alive who doesn't have some of that in them. So anyways, here is your chance to voice it; please don't hold back. Tell me what you think about bush and WHY, and please be in depth. (E.g. don't say things like "Bush is dumb" please.)

If a New Jersey Attorney has his license suspended for DWI, and he is driving on that suspended license, is there an ethical issue as well as the traffic issue? The attorney took an oath to uphold the law and is now knowingly breaking it. Ethical Violation for his profession?

Suppose someone wants to sue me for personal injury. If they want a lawyer to take the case on a contingency(?) basis then the lawyer runs an asset check on me, right? Will he or she be able to find out about assets such as cash, stocks, IRA? Or is that information private?

I know I sound callow when I ask this question, but how can we get out of Iraq while saving face?

I think we should add 50,000 more soldiers, go on a three month CRACKDOWN campaign, declare Iraq stable, and get out of there. FAST! Then again, I wouldn't want to be apart of that extra 50,000.

Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe we should just declare that our mission to be successful and leave. I don't see anything wrong with leaving Iraq and then spinning it as a victory. lol...Hey, don't laugh, at least it's a plan.

In an effort to live up to the media hype that the Democrats are going to sweep the elections, they have trotted out some of the best victims Hollywood has to offer. Michael J. Fox (Alex P. Keaton he is not) is now doing commercials in House districts where the once triumphant Democrats were pounding their evil Republican opponents (e.g. Missouri, Illinois). He stops his meds before filming to get the best effects and then he blames the evil Republicans for blocking a cure for his debilitating disease. I was wondering when the full victim card was going to be played in this election season. Desperate indeed!

My question is , How many on line have family , friends, or other know relatives, that are working on the (china opps) american wall rather boarderto keep Mexicans out of the states, and fell this is all a waste of time and money when it is known that, in the ear future. It will not amount to anythimg because walls were made to be knocked down . why useour troops to build a fence. When they are needed else where is this what we pay taxes for, the divider is costing more to put up than, what it taked for illegals to cross and, go back at our expense, and slip back in..

Short of, say, abandoning a major US city, starting a war with false evidence, raising the debt by trillions while applying highly uneven tax cuts....lying to the public, overriding the constitution, etc etc etc. Soliciting young boys on the internet, wiretapping, spying.

Are your heroes infallible in your eyes? Or is there really something they could ever do that would change your perspective on them?

The problems we have in our own country would take priority over other countries' problems, right? It seems to me that the U.S. spreads itself too thin by "adopting" problems that other coutries are having. An analogy: Wouldn't you attempt to save your own children in a fire before trying to save anybody else?
I think that we have to make ourselves well before trying to aid other countries. We are part of the U.N. but we carry an extremely larger burden than the other World Powers. Can anyone explain this in better terms?
