He stopped including war costs in his fiscal budget to claim defecits were going down. Not only did they go down when he stopped including the costs of the war in Iraq, but they went down further as he dipped into the social security trust fund to pay for tax cuts.

Here is a press release from 12/21/06 where Republican Senator Judd Gregg (current chairmen of the CBO) and others, ask Bush to be up front about the costs of war in Iraq. And this is off the Republican portion of the official CBO website.

I asked this question yesterday, not surprisingly, no Republicans had any sort of answers.

He was a bad guy. They caught him. They tried him. They hung him.

Do you actually fantasize that this accomplished some great good for humanity or Iraqis?

Legally, it was the equivalent of popping a zit.

There will be more........

Then you can tune in to watch that one. And the one after.

Get a freaking life.

Are they the only ones with such a polorizing view of the world?
Good vs. Evil.

if your not with us then your against us.
if you dont support us then you support the terrorists and that makes you a terrorist.
Love it or leave it

His name is LT. Heck. My son said he asked may times to call his mother and they told him No. He asked to call his father they told him No. He asked if he could call his Aunt or somebody in his family, they told him No. He said that they told him if he did not tell them where he got it from, that he would never see his mother or sisters again. He was kept in the office for a total of 6 hours.

I watched a special the other night of how our employers are highering illigal immigrants from Mexico because they are more reliable. They don't quit their jobs always show up for work and work very hard. Some employers say harder than us citizens. These illegal immigrants are paying taxes to our country but in return don't get any social security retirement benefits. I'm confused with 2 issues now when it is put this way. Why are we so bitter with this if they pay taxes to us? Why don't they just become us citizens? What are your thoughts on this?

It was different for me, way back in the 1990's. Female recruits trained separately and their block was strictly off-limits to us male recruits.

Of course, after you earn your rank and get posted out, you'd probably meet a few women in green during your time of duty.

Are things different now (the unisex training, that is)?

(Note: I live in Southeast Asia).
