We live in America where you can get almost anything you want 24/7. Perhaps this is the reason why we are so frustrated with this war because it is not the quick fix we are used to.

Some are saying bring the troops home. I've asked military personel how they feel about this and they want our support. They want to do their jobs. They say that the enemy laughs at us when they hear reports from the US about withdrawing troops. WHo do you believe, an actual soldier in Iraq or a politician with an agenda?

Of course, there is always the question, if we leave now, will the enemy follow us home? Maybe, maybe not but why should we risk potentially fighting a war on our own soil?

We are not at war with Iraq, we are there to help them as they are an important ally to us. We are at war with an enemy who wants to destroy Iraq's weak infrastructure which will have a negative effect throughout the world. Shouldn't we support our troops effort to help the world?

My mother was born in the Tyrol in Austria, which was later subsumed into Germany, she served in the German armed forces and was a POW of the Russians for some years.
She married my father a British Serviceman and moved over to the UK.
Do I have an automatic right to German or Austrian citizenship?
I would like it to be so when I think of how she suffered after the war in both Russia and Britain.

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program. "

These people just don't share your view of who is the biggest threat to america. To them Bush is the worst enemy and HE must be countered at all costs - even at the expense of America's security.

To the average democrat/liberal like Feingold, Reid, Murtha, Clinton, Edwards, Kerry, Obama, and Pelosi, Bush is a bigger threat to us than, Al Queda, Hezballah, Iran, North Korea, or any Islamist.

Hate Bush, oppose Bush, stop Bush. America's real enemies are far, FAR down on the list of priorities when it comes to any action on their part.

Why is it that the targeting of anti-fraud measures are aimed at the most vulnerable members of society?

I am referring to the campaign by the DWP to bring to heel those that would attempt to and actively defraud the Benefits system.

Whilst there is no noteworthy similar campaigns waged against those who perpetrate Tax evasion, VAT carousel fraud and those that make use of illegally imported labour from the European Union?

Is it basically that the Government is either so incompetent that it cant or so morally and financially bankrupt, its prepared to turn a 'blind eye' to these crimes and instead demonising the most poorest and most vulnerable groups of society?

Of course benefit fraud should be discouraged, investigated and wherever practical a full prosecution brought against the offender, but you dont see many Sole Traders, Company Directors etc being treated in similar fashion.

Despite how mean everyone makes this man out to be, I think he should be president. He tell's the truth about a majority of issues. He may be brash but he is honest, and offers many people to dispute his opinions, but they can never prove him wrong. I think he would be the next great Republican President.

Or do they only do it when I am around? Because I am just that important, Captain Starbuck.

Because people only commit crimes and drop dead when the lights are red, don't they?

HILLARY CLINTON ON OCTOBER 10, 2001: "He (saddam hussein) has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members"

HILLARY CLINTON ON MARCH 7, 2003: "I ended up voting for the resolution after carefully reviewing the information and intelligence that I had available."

HILLARY CLINTON APRIL 24, 2004: "No, I don't regret giving the president authority because at the time it was in the context of weapons of mass destruction, grave threats to the United States, and clearly, Saddam Hussein had been a real problem for the international community for more than a decade."

HILLARY CLINTON ON JANUARY 27, 2007: "The president took my vote and others' votes and basically misused the authority we gave him. Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote I certainly wouldn't have voted that way because it would have been a mistake, and I don't make mistakes"

And THIS is who democrats want you to vote for in 2008?????

Or is it easier just to call all liberals as “baby killers”, all conservatives as “war mongers”, all environmentalists as “hippy vegetarians”?
