Politics & Government - 4 May 2007

Here are the major details:

My husband was injured in Iraq. He has a broken rib and some back problems. By the doctor's recommendations, he was sent home.

When he finally got home, I spoke to the person who is going to be in charge of him while he is home and said there is no way he is going back to Iraq. I assumed that once his injuries were healed, he would be going back. But for my husband, this is not the case.

So my husband asked him about this, and he told him he had failed the psych test and that was the main reason he won't be going back. I asked my husband what they tested, and he said it seemed like they were testing his memory. As in the doctor would say a series of numbers or words, and he would have to repeat them in the same order. Something along those lines anyway.

So now he has an appointment with a caseworker who said that he is going to see a neurologist. Why would he need to see a neurologist?

If you answer yes, please explain the crime and why the Democrats that agreed with him at the time should NOT be impeached.

I for one was doing a job that was "something americans wouldn't do." When I was 16 and through college I worked on a farm, which was chock full of illegals. I agree that most older americans would not take many of the jobs that illegals do but there are many younger people who want a job but can not get it because their employer wants to pay a lower wage.

The US sold some dual use helicopters to Iraq. At best they could have been used as air ambulances. The then Warsaw Pact sold T82, T72 tanks & loads more bits that kill & go bang. The French sold Roland radar defences & Mirage planes. Look at the footage from the |Iran/Iraq war, the first Gulf war & the 2003 intervention. Then check Janes Big Guns or whatever. See Wiki for more details. Chinese Silkworm, SCUD, missiles;the list goes on. The US sold or gave arms to many tyrants, this just was not one of them.
The Russians & French have still not been paid. My Russian, French & Iraqi friends are aware of the origins of the arms. Where & how did the story change?

Source: I'm looking for vehicle magnets that say "I support the troops" OR "I support the war". When I discover one I approach the driver. (I make sure they have 18 to 30 year year old off spring) I say "Thank you for supporting the war. (Then at that point I get a big smile) I say "Please let me help you send your children into the Iraq war "SINCE" you support what Bush is doing. ( Note---at this point smile turns sour.....like the father is sucking lemons) Some turn mad as can be. ( But they support the war) Some tell me "I support the war as long as other people lose their family members". So why do people get mad at me? I'm just trying to help the war effort. What's wrong with many of these people who support the Iraq war?

If not, what a wopping loophole in government. Special Interests, Mafia, Power Brokers, Terrorists, Communists, foreign governments could all be paying them to be their puppet.

I'm for a National Campaign fund so no politician is beholden to anyone.

Where is the outrage? Where are the hundreds of thousands of people protesting like they did in 1970 and 71. I just got back from a sporting event and not one, and I mean "Not one " person talked about the dead soldiers. So where is the outrage? ( Note: I did hear a lot of people talking about that singer who shaved her head)

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Pentagon survey of troops in Iraq found that only 40% of Marines and 55% of Army soldiers would report a member of their unit for killing or wounding an innocent civilian. Many said this is the proud American way.
In the first internal military study of battlefield ethics in Iraq, officials said Friday they also found that only a third of Marines and roughly half of soldiers said they believed that non-combatants should be treated with dignity. This was learned from the republican party.

The study also found that long and repeated deployments were increasing troop mental health problems. And it showed that more than 40% of Marines and soldiers said torture should be allowed to save the lives of troops. Bush and war supporters are proud of this.

By not using the word "murder," they are clearly showing their biases.

I opened a cell phone account in my ex's name, the account was always paid. He is now threatening to press charges against me if my parents do not pay him money he feels he is owed. How long can he hold this over my head? He is blackmailing me to do whatever he says when it comes to our child and is talking bad about me to our child. He claims he is doing this for my own good and our child is the only reason he is not putting me in jail. Do I have any rights or should I continue to do whatever he says because he holds all the cards right now or should I contact an attorney?

I was listening to the debate last night, and these three GOP candidates do not accept evolution. Sure, there are are more pressing issues to consider, but I found their rejection of evolution disconcerting. Keep in mind that the vast majority of scientists in the United States accept evolutionary theory. What's your opinion on this?

Just what DO you believe is the origin of the species we see today, (all species, including bacteria and viruses)?

And honestly, How old do you think the earth is? and indeed the universe?
Can you admit it without losing every bit of credibility?
