The following is an exchange between Rep. John F. Tierney (D-MA) and Halliburton/KBR's director of government compliance, William Walter, shows that the Bush administration began planning for troop safety long after it made plans to secure the safety of Iraq's oil fields.


Mr. TIERNEY. OK. Now, when GAO issued yesterday's report on LOGCAP [Halliburton's troop support contract], one of their key findings was that the planning for the use of LOGCAP's contract to support the troops in Iraq did not begin until after the fall of Baghdad. You looked at that report and didn't make any objections or corrections, so we are assuming that is an agreeable statement with you? That is when the planning started, after Baghdad fell?

Mr. WALTER. For the work in Iraq, yes, sir.

Mr. TIERNEY. So it is a little astonishing to me, and I think to others, the planning for what is going to happen to our troops, their meals, their water, their housing, the essentials of life, their protection,

Finally I hear a Democrat that actually has a plan for Iraq. And no I am not a Republican. Just tired of hearing complaints from the Liberals when they dont give solutions. Refreshing to actually see somebody have a plan. Whether its the right one or not well we will see if she is elected.

For example, on this week's show, a Minister was charged with $35,000 bond, but several others were only charged $20K. This includes one predator who had 11 prior arrests and cocaine in his possession!

Does a U.S. Citizen have the right to have their spouse in the U.S. after having entered illegal? Should they have a punishment for that even if they already applied for residency?

My family and I are british citizens and want to leave the US.
Though we're wondering which place is better to raise a family which is safer from most crimes. Since my family safety is number one.

I do realize there is crime everywhere but in general where is the best place to raise a family.

Also which place has better education?

I really need some advice so please let me know.

Kucinich: 'Impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran'
Ron Brynaert
Raw Story
Thursday, March 15, 2007
During a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) declared that "impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran." The 2004 presidential candidate, who is running again in 2008, told RAW STORY that his House floor statement "speaks for itself."
"This House cannot avoid its constitutionally authorized responsibility to restrain the abuse of Executive power," Kucinich said on the floor today. "The Administration has been preparing for an aggressive war against Iran. There is no solid, direct evidence that Iran has the intention of attacking the United States or its allies."
Kucinich noted that since the US "is a signatory to the U.N. Charter, a constituent treaty among the nations of the world," and Article II states that "all members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state," then "even the threat of a war of aggression is illegal."
"Article VI of the U.S. Constitution makes such treaties the Supreme Law of the Land," Kucinich continued. "This Administration, has openly threatened aggression against Iran in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the U.N. Charter."

It would be a mandatory (minimum) of 4 years in prison to physically abuse people 70 years old and older. If it were up to me it would be 4 years of hard labor in jail.

Does anyone knows the latest on the child care subsidies programs? I am doing some research on this topic. I know there are program such as TANF, NCCIC, and CCC. But its still limited a very small percentage of so called low income family. It isn't helping them at all.

And I'm finding lots of information on child care grants for child care business. But for the information on child care subsidies for low income families are quite limited. It seem that each state only have one programs for the child care subsidary. The US government has set up so much grants funding for the child care business sector, I'm surprised that there isn't much child care support to low income families. Especially military members.

Does anyone on here knows any latest scoop on the child care issues.

appreciates any help you all can give.

Thanks in advance!
