They don't even have enough protective gear for our soldiers. Parents, friends and others, sacrificing to send their loved ones the things they need. The government has tens of billions of dollars for Halliburton and other US contractors.
Now, more for political reasons than anything else I would suggest, select Democrats are going to follow suit re additional troops. Deployments, re-deployments, & now a call for new units, but nothing of substance for the troops. except sacrifice.
Government - flailing about helplessly..

‘We Can’t Afford to Leave’
As the debate over Iraq intensifies, leading Democrat Silvestre Reyes is calling for the deployment of more U.S. troops.

Dec. 5. 2006 - In a surprise twist in the debate over Iraq, Rep. Silvestre Reyes, the soon-to-be chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he wants to see an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. troops as part of a stepped up effort to “dismantle the militias.”

All this talk about why doesnt the Congress do this, Why doesnt the president do that. Being the citizen of a democracy is ALOT of work.

WHEN are YOU going to get to work so the Govt can do their job correctly?? Its up to you.

My neighbor just passed away from cancer, he has two adult children from a previous marriage and a new wife of 25+ years. Both of his children live in the same town, but never came to see him during his battle with cancer. From my understanding they did not have a relationship with their father. They were in the process of making the will out when he passed away, so nothing was legalized. Will his children be entitled to his estate or will his current wife have possession?

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

*29 have been accused of spousal abuse
*7 have been arrested for fraud
*19 have been accused of writing bad checks
*117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at leased 2 businesses
*3 have done time for assault
*71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
*14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
*8 have been arrested for shoplifting
*21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
*84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give Up......

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line. any Thoughts?

He's been in time out, he may have his mind right, what if we just toss him over the fence and see what happens? From a realistic point of view, I bet he is laughing in his shoes.

When a court case file says "open" - it means judgement was not made and the case is still open. When it's closed - there has been a judgement made and it is dismissed. What does it mean when it says "Filed Only" ?

It has been argued that altought we had committed enough troops to topple Saddam, we did not commit enough troops and equipment to establish the peace in Iraq.
Whether or not the Iraq invasion was right or wrong, we are there. And, we need to establish law and order within the Iraqi borders. Isn't it time we consider increased troop and equipment levels to stop the civil violence, secure Iraqi borders, and rebuild the country's economy?
Training Iraqi security forces will take years. The Bush administration hope of having Iraqi forces trained and in place is not going to happen any time soon. Rather than withdraw and leave the Iraqi people with an all out civil war, shouldn't we make a serious commitment to establish peace?

We've tried 2 fronts the NDA and UPA. Both proved disaster to country except few achievements by Railways under Laloo leadership. If the Chandra Babu Naidu's efforts to form 3rd front will ever bear fruit? If so and 3rd front shoot to power who would be a best option to lead the country? Chandra Babu, Mulayam Singh or some body else?

The responsibility to end the war in Iraq now falls upon the Democrats. Congress controls the purse strings and the Constitution says only Congress can declare war. Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi now hold the power to put an end to this madness. Will they do it? Or will they fail to do so - bringing on the wrath of the voters.
