Democrats want troops out if goals unmet By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer
45 minutes ago



WASHINGTON - House Democratic leaders have coalesced around legislation that would require troops to come home from Iraq within six months if that country's leaders fail to meet promises to help reduce violence there, party officials said Thursday.

The plan would retain a Democratic proposal prohibiting the deployment to Iraq of troops with insufficient rest or training or who already have served there for more than a year. Under the plan, such troops could only be sent to Iraq if President Bush waives those standards and reports to Congress each time.

The proposal is the latest attempt by Democrats to resolve deep divisions within the party on how far to go to scale back U.S. involvement in Iraq.

The town that I live in doesn't have job opportunities for people. Me and my husband have been going through the MIssouri Career Center to look for jobs, but no luck. We are both wanting to go back to school, but the classes don't start until August. The problem that I am having with the DFS is that my case worker don't want to do anything with my case unless she wants to hurt it. I have two small children one is 2 and the other is 8 mths. With this going with the settlement that I had recieved in December 2006, she tells me that when me or my husband gets a job that my children will be cut off of medical assistance and that would be effected immediatly. When my husband did work, but then lost his we applied for assistance and she didn't want to give it to us in the first place. When my second baby was born in June 2006, I was trying to get my case worker to work on my daughters medical because she had a really bad problem with her eye and even then she didn't want to give it.

My question :

how can America be more competitive ???

how can we encourage every American student to be as competitive as most immigrant students are ???

in my country , Mexico , every student had to take a test to be able to study at the school of their choice , those which were not able to pass had to try another which would usually be of lower level or one which was far form their home , i know for a fact that most Mexican schools do not receive as much resources as the American schools do but i am very proud to say that we usually perform better . however i live today in America and i wish the American school would do better , so i was wondering would a method like what i descrived and what the article descrives be put in place in America ???

how can we spend less and do much better ???

what are you thoughts about the article ???

ESL classes are offered in every Mexican school just as an aditional note ..

For example: Whilst giving Mr X and Mr Y a lift home in your car, Mr X becomes violent towards you. To defend yourself, you slam on the breaks to make Mr X lunge forward. However, by doing so, you're also making Mr Y lunge forward. Is this okay, as you're effectively protecting both yourself and Mr Y from harm, even though it causes some harm to Mr Y?

....discuss.

How long are you usually sentenced for if you are found guilty? I am following this case in Arizona. The defendants were charged with child abuse, negligent homicide, and with abandonment of a dead body. Lawyers please tell these people will go away for a long time.

I know this question is not timely, but I am curious...Last year, the senate voted on an amendment to a bill, to make English the offical language of the US.

Can anyone help me understand WHY English should not be the official language in the US? Opinions?

They said Communism would work, they were wrong.
They said tax-cuts would decrease revenue, they were wrong.
They said throwing more money at it would improve Education, they were wrong.
They said Reagan's defense build-up would lead to war with the USSR, they were wrong.

But notice how they never admit it?
