My bf currently in A school and has picked the job as a ship serviceman. He just recently chose norfolk,mayport,fl, and hawaii as his choices for bases to receive orders from if they need him. Is how you do in A school linked to where you go,or do you just get your first choice of base if it's avaliable and your needed there? Do you think he will get Norfolk?

I'd like to vote for someone who might win, but I just don't know if this guy can be trusted. I'm not even sure if he has a plan of his own.

What are your thoughts?

the facts? They say things like,
"Oh, I wouldn't trust You-Tube" or
"Exxon-Mobil funded that report" or
"You heard that on talk radio" or
"That's from the right wing blogosphere"
They attack the source, but won't dispute the facts presented.
Why is that?

As in, did GW or John Kerry go down to the polls and vote for themselves? Or do you think they just don't?

I am getting fed up with the state of this country. CCTV everywhere, speed cameras on our roads and smoking bans. Now it's becoming law that speaking on your mobile, hands free or not will be illegal. My hubby drives a lorry and says that it will be law for no drinking, eating or smoking in his cab. What is going on? It's political correctness gone berserk.

Conservative posts about the Libby trial being a farce centered on the argument that Plame was never a covert operative to begin with so no crime was commited. Recent facts suggest the she was indeed considered a covert op. Was it a crime to leak the name of a covert operative? Was Cheney the leak?

I have been reading Reds post that they are the kindest gentlest people on earth. And Liberals like Jesus are the bain of society.

Some how it doesn't make sense.

Proven lie.

I swear. Everytime I try to get into a discussion it disintegrates into one big 5th grade name calling event. Please, either contribute something intelligent or go to a different area, like dundgeons and dragons.. GROW UP.

Or what's keeping the terrorists from attacking it? In the pictures I've seen there are always a handful of secret service standing around, but it doesn't look like that many people to stop a mob of terrorists....

Before 2003 Iraq and the region was more stable,

and incapable of civil war.

If the USA had a ligitamate excuse to invade Iraq then why did it have to resort to false grounds for justification?

1) WMD's were destroyed in 1991 by the UN, and no evidence was ever found after the invasion.
2) The supposed link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam was found to be groundless by US congressional investigation.

How many suicide bombings were in Iraq before the US invaded in 2003, and destabilized the situation?

*****
Nothing makes Al-Qaeda more happy than the US continued stay in Iraq -

1)it justifies Arab hatred of US in the region, AND

2) killing americans in Iraq in MUCH easier than killing americans in the USA.

WHEN WILL AMERICANS REALIZE THEY ARE JUST PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF AL-QAEDA, BY INSISTING ON STAYING????

AMERICANS ARE TOO STUBBORN TO ADMIT THAT THEY ARE BEING OUTSMARTED BY AL-QAEDA, THUS THEY CONTINUE TO STAY!!
