war does Bush not get?

He never sent in enough troops from the start, not one of his "surges" over the duration of the war have come close to getting US ground troops to 300,000, & his now most famous "surge" still doesn't get US troops in Iraq to 300,000. What the f**k is the point of fighting a war when you don't have enough troops?

The company stated "You don't pay unless your satisfied". I am far from satisfied but now the company is suing for their money! I've tried nearly everything I can think of...any suggestions?

we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide ... there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.


Pro-Life means Pro-Life. I do not in any way shape or form, advocate, suggest or support violent action or vigilante justice against anyone in the American Holocaust business. I do say this in warning to all those involved in the killing mills, the Lord's Judgements are Righteous and True. The Lord our God Himself says, "Vengeance is mine, thus saith the Lord, I will repay."

A 2004 study in which American women at clinics answered a questionnaire:
on the reasons women seek to terminate their pregnancies concluded that common factors cited to have influenced the abortion decision were; desire to delay or end childbearing, concern over the interruption

that America's left simply whines and accuses Diebold whenever they lose an election?

At least they don't riot and burn cars.

Or is this something to look forward to as we continue our country's gradual slide into Socialism one program and new tax at a time.

I read on some websites that the victims families are suing Virginia Tech. Is this right or just... From my perception, Virginia Tech feels the same way they do... so it seems like they are just tryin to make money off thier misfortunes.

What do you all think?

You hear in the news the phrase “Israel’s expansion of settlements”. But, what does that really means?

Israel was granted statehood and international recognition in 1948. This means that this country can legally have an army and bare arms. So, Israel use this power to take land for development; hence, Expansion of Settlements”.

The Palestinians do not have statehood or international recognitions. Therefore, if they bare arms and create an army to protect their land and homes, they are called terrorists.

This inequality is the root of the conflict in the Middle East. Countries that oppose Israel must accept Israel statehood in any negotiations with Israel or America. Meanwhile, there is no pressure on Israel to discontinue taking lands from the unrepresentative Palestinians.

What are your thoughts?

OK I know people say we need to leave and others say we need to stay and never the 2 will agree but looking to see if we can find a real middle ground answer that might work.

Any ideas on how we can actually fix this whole situation since staying there until the end of time won't work and leaving this second probably won't? Something that both sides could agree on?

Johnny Depp has been very clear with his disrespect to the United States and has moved to France [which i give him credit for cause if you don't like it here, move, which he did] but he still makes money off the American people.

Anyways, What do you think he will do now that there is a conservitive running their country?

[and for the record i love Johnny depp, he is hot and a great actor, but i hate his anti-america liberal thinking]

Leftists are leftists, regardless of their nationality. Whether they are American leftists still whining about a Florida recount seven years later, Mexican leftists rioting in the streets and occupying state legislatures, or French leftists p*ssing and moaning about the results of Sunday's presidential elections, they are seemingly incapable of accepting defeat like democrats (please note the lower-case "d").

When conservatives lose elections we say, "We got beat. We'll work harder next time". Why can't the left do the same?

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.
In its "Desert Crossing" games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.

My husband is in the Army, and we are PCS'ing to Okinawa, Japan (Kadena AFB) in September. This is our first overseas move, so this is all new to us. I've received information from the Army about the culture, and what to expect, etc. But if anyone has ever lived there, I'd love to get some input. Tell me what it's REALLY like, and any advice you can give me (pre-move, housing, etc). I'm very excited about it, but I'd like to be as prepared as possible. I would really appreciate any input. Thanks a lot!




Note: I've done a lot of research on the internet, as well as travel guides and pamphlets from the Army. I really want to hear from people who have been there. Thanks!

I realize animals will never be put on the same level as humans but at the same time they have pets that they provide food, shelter, love, and medical expenses for. They would also never consider eating Fido because he is part of the family. There are a few differences, however, a pet and a child are not so apart in terms of care.

WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has notified more than 35,000 Army soldiers to be prepared to deploy to Iraq beginning this fall, a move that would allow commanders to maintain the ongoing buildup of troops through the end of the year if needed.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Tuesday the deployment orders, which have been signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, do not mean that the military has made a decision to keep the increased level of 20 brigades in Iraq through December. A brigade is roughly 3,500 soldiers.

Instead, he said the decision gives the Pentagon the "capability" to carry the buildup to the end of the year. The replacement forces, Whitman said, would give commanders in Iraq the flexibility they need to complete the mission there. However, the everyday military man states this is not going to work. The USA will go down in defeat just like Vietnam. The troops will have died for nothing. Again....Like Vietnam.
