What do you think? Where do the people get the bbs and gas and etc to even make them? Are they recycling old Iraqi military waste? Is it being given to them by like, Syria or Iran or Qaeda? What about the poor vets, can we do something for them? Are any of them recovering from the traumas? I am going to ask some of my family in the services, but I can't contact them just right this minute. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated

Its only going to get worse according to that article. And here I thought we had "turned the corner" and that the insurgency was "in its last throes". Do all "liberators" get attacked like this?

I find it very funny how the media still blames every suicide attack on Al-quieda although the vast majority of the insurgents (90%) are not affliated with Al-quieda. Just another example of the "liberal media" telling us how it is!

Don't stop believing Republicans! The victory you were promised is right around the corner... so close... just a little bit longer.... a few more years.....we promise!

She met with Syria's leader but refused to meet with Columbia's leader. She refused to meet with General P, but meets with Code Pink (who supports the insurgents), what's up with that?

Would youy vote for Fred Thompson for president?
Assistant United States Attorney at the age of 30 was appointed Minority Counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee
Was elected by the people of Tennessee in 1994 to the Senate. When he was returned in 1996, he received more votes than any previous candidate for any office in Tennessee history.

Does anyone know what an LI-9 is? I couldn't find out how to get one if I'm out-of-state and I'm in the military. The customer service number is giving me a busy signal and the local offices have no clue (or don't feel like helping me). It won't let me renew online...

3) Does Texas honor active duty military licenses after expiration?
http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/driver_licensing_control/faq/answers_dl_id.htm
Texas honors active duty military members (spouses and dependents are excluded) driver licenses even after expiration. Texas supplies a LI-9 card to carry in addition to your expired license showing proof

In another part of the website it says this :

“The validity of any Texas driver’s license held by any person who enters or is in the United States armed forces shall continue in full force and effect so long as the service continues ..."

Did not receive cost of living increase from employer-over one month late. Healthcare benefits have been overlooked and after 2 years still no insurance. Employer will not give a letter to release me for another company to hire, never had a "non compete" clause or contract-cannot get this job I need. There are many other issues as well.Too many to list

Seriously, From what I heard the oil companies are having trouble transitioning from its winter blend to summer blend. How can you make record profits and not be able to fix structural issues.

I respect, honor and cannot completely understand why someone would want to deal with stupid people on a daily basis. I guess that is why I can respect and honor police officers. Any stories you'd like to share why you like cops? If you don't like them, please don't be negative. This question is for people who do like cops :)

What is "responsibility" to this man? If you or I were held responsible for this, we would be executed. Please enlighten me to the ways he is being a responsible man. A good faith gesture he could do, to try to earn the trust of the country, would be to unseal his past records, and for once tell us the truth. Why should we trust a man who won't even tell us who he is?

Mexico, France.......

They couldn't get a majority of the people to support their using the force of government to impose their views on everyone else, so instead they resort to force on another level.

Pathetic.

None of the laws say "lock up black people" or "lock up white people."

To the extent there are different treatments of people of different races charged with the same crime, that's the idea - - no matter who you are or what color you are or where you're caught, if you're caught with X ounces of Y drug, you're going to prison for Z years.

To the extent different communities might tend to use and therefore sell different drugs with similar potency or addiction rates, there might be differences in treatment of someone selling one poison that is no worse than another poison. But while the dealer of this or that type of drug might be black, but so is the community in which he's dealing - - - black crack dealers might get a longer sentence than white powder dealers but look at the flip side - - he was selling crack in a black neighborhoods to black kids - the threats to the black community are treated more harshly than the threats to suburbia.

Wouldn't you WANT that?
