and also allowed private practices to stay in business... like there are private and public schools?

and this way the government wouldn't be "doing it"... but businesses, probably a group of several businesses...

and such huge contracts would almost have to save billions just in the bulk alone...

comments?

While terrorists are certainly dangerous, and I am in no way espousing silencing or prosecuting any U.S. citizen based on their political beliefs, it's worth addressing. Terrorists killed 3000 on 9/11 and a few hundred others here and there over the past 20 years or so, but liberals are behind events such as the Roe v. Wade decision that has triggered a holocaust of 45,000,000 unborn children. They often cheer for our enemies such as Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and yes, even Bin Laden for "standing up to us". They've worked diligently to fill the media with every form of vulgarity known to Man, and a few heretofore unknown, which has coarsened and desensitized society, all for the sake of "freedom of expression". They assail and ridicule every traditional, wholesome, family-oriented, patriotic, moral foundation we have, speeding our society's headlong rush into decadence and decay, all the while wrapping themselves in the cloak of "patriotic dissent". How much longer can we endure?

Whatever his original goals in Iraq may have been, it's pretty clear that he's not going to establish some utopian democracy there.

But he's having difficulty even keeping his head above water. This surge may yet salvage the status quo in Iraq, but the increased OPTEMPO will result in increased troop exposure and casualties (and already has).

Deaths are guaranteed, for Americans too if we stay there, but success is not...

In about 20 years or so George Bush will be 80 years old. I am positive he's going to be moping around like Reagan in his "later years" and people will try to make the excuse "His mind is going". Most people who have lived through his presidency will remember, his mind was never there in the first place.

He was caught by the police when his friend pulled the car over so he could vomit. The police called an ambulance because he was so drunk. I found out the next day that one of the kids mothers (whom I do not know) supplied the alcohol for about 50 teens. When I called her she said "they are going to do it anyway" so what is the big deal? I was upset because I do not allow him to drink and I do not feel it is her place to give him this alcohol. I do hold him responsible for this however I also hold her responsible. I now have over $1000 in hospital/ambulance bills. Should she pay for 1/2 since she allowed this in her home without my permission. I cannot afford to pay this and dont want my credit ruined.

This hypothetical example: A young man, Charlie the home owner, is renting out two rooms to other young men Harry and Ben. Ben is a serious drug user and dealer, from Marijuana to Cocaine, is only in the house two days a week and keeps a large amount of drugs in his bedroom wardrobe. Charlie and Harry know about this, they are not dealers themselves, but do dabble in drugs, mostly Marijuana and Ecstasy. During a noise complaint the police are called and find a huge stash of drugs in Ben's wardrobe. Both Charlie and Harry deny any knowledge of this. In Perth WA law, where do Charlie, Harry and Ben each stand?

I hate that we can't talk much. He calls me from his computer using a program called netzero but if they are on a blackout which seems to be like 80% of the time I don't here from him for days. When he does call me, he's tired, wore out, quiet etc. The phone is constantly clicking in and out, hanging up etc. It's just a real pain to not be able to have a real conversation with him. It seems like hell when he doesn't call, i wait and wait, and when he does i can sometimes be dissapointed in our conversations. They seem so quick and so distant. I know we are fine because he was home about a month ago on leave and it was so nice. I'm just so stressed out. I get so edgy and emotional and just miss him, even more I miss "us".

Is there anyone else out there dealing with the freakin phone system in Iraq? Does it stess you out? Does it make you mad when the have a blackout and then finally call but you can't even understand what he's saying? Do you get bit**y about it?

THANKS!

Hydrogen cell is a very big contender as alternative fuel or energy source. High energy demand and price would compel the automobile industry to change their flow sheet soon, similarly energy promoters would cease to invest in large hydropower projects due to availability of cheap energy from hydrogen cell. Can we say that large hydropower projects and proposals have bleak future in coming years and we should go for smaller hydropower projects which can be completed in 5-6 years and also have small physical and financial layouts. Small hydropower projects can be planned on Total Integrated micro watershed basis to have least or Zero adverse impact on environment as well as settlements & existing infra-structure. By the time hydrogen cell and other alternative energy sources replace thermal & hydropower mix energy, the small hydropower projects can supplement the energy demand in shortest possible time frame.

I believe recycling should be a federal law. In the long run. it is cheaper than using landfills, it is good for our environment, will make our citizens feel better about themselves, and is timely.

How do you feel about this ?

his followers call themselves "Conservatives" since Bush's Government is even larger than the Democrat Bill Clinton's Govt.?

I think today's "Conservatives" are really "Theocrats". They are just too ignorant to realize it?

McCain Calls Iraq War 'Great Tragedy'
By JIM DAVENPORT
AP
COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 26) - Republican presidential contender John McCain called the Iraq war "a great tragedy" on Thursday, yet still decried a timetable for a U.S. withdrawal as the Senate voted to begin pulling out troops by Oct. 1.

"I'm aware of the patience of the American people. I read the polls. I'm not embarrassed to say that. I understand the frustration and sorrow that American people feel about this war. It's a great tragedy," said McCain, who was campaigning in this early voting state and missed the Senate vote on the bill containing the withdrawal timetable.

Earlier in the day, he predicted that the consequences of U.S. withdrawal would be severe.

"If we leave Iraq, there will be chaos, there will be genocide, and they will follow us home," the Arizona senator said, calling the war against al-Qaida "a struggle between good and evil."

On Thursday, the Senate followed the House's lead, brushing aside a veto threat and passing legislation that would order President Bush to begin withdrawing troops from Iraq by Oct. 1.

It has become clear to me many of you do not understand how Oil and terrorism are interlinked, so I hope this article will help you get a better understanding of geo politics of oil pricing.

Terrorism , for a lack of a better word is "profitiable" for Oil companys,thats why we are in this open ended war on terror.
