He was killed by two mexicans Alejandro Guana, 17, and Orlando Garcia, 19. Does anyone know if they were illegals? They are hiding info about the teens. I think we have a right to know if they are illegals!

I have a friend who had gotten his 3rd dwi a couple years ago - clean and sober ever since. In the state of MN, in order to get your license back, you have to agree to never drink again and get a "b-card" and he is fine with that. However, right now he is going through an ugly divorce and he is afraid his ex-wife will call the DMV and report him for drinking even though he doesn't drink anymore. He thinks this is all it will take for him to lose his license for 3 years - I say they need proof. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Were needed in Iraq, and now all of a sudden Bush and his party are all for a troop surge? For the past 3 years of this war they have denied that more troops were needed, they laughed at the idea when it was presented to them. Now out of the blue they think its a good idea.
How on earth can we win a war with Flip Flopping leadership in charge?

Just as many Republican lawmakers have come out against Iraq troop escalation as for it, however the media seems obsessed with reporting Democratic differences of opinion. It is well-reported that the Democratic House and Senate majority leaders are united in being against escalation. In virtually identical situations that we have right now, the media reports Republicans as united but Democrats as divided. Why does the mainstream media have a Republican bias?

He told his wife that they were gifts for relatives. Is there something more sinister here or am I as naive as his wife? He was gone for about a month after not having been home for 20 years. He has also lived in Saudi Arabia, France, Canada, the east and west coast of America and now resides in St. Louis, Mo.

I am guessing the argument is about the war, so let me get it straight.

He got bad information about Iraq about the WMD's (maybe because Saddam CLAIMED to have WMD's. He went against the UN and went into Iraq as part of the war on TERRORISM (not Afghanistan). Going against the UN is not a law, remember?

Congress voted for the war, which therefore makes it 100% legal. He hasn't lied to anyone, he DIDN'T blow up the WTC, I can't understand what he did wrong. He sure isn't the best President, but he is FAR from the worst.

And if you REALLY are stupid enough to think this war is about oil, please don't answer this question. I don't even think Saddam would send thousands of his own countrymen to a war so he could get a few bucks. This war might not be the best thing going, but it SURE isn't about oil. If it was, oil prices would have dropped, instead of rise. And remember, we HAVE been free of terrorist attacks since the war started...
