He makes some pretty grandiose statements considering that almost 2,100 Iraqi civilians were killed in July 2007. The numbers in August are expected to be higher. That does not add up to 1/4 Mr. Petraeus.
Petraeus said the buildup strategy had turned U.S. forces into pursuers instead of defenders.

He said religious and ethnic killings, or "ethno-sectarian deaths," were the most important measure of progress and that the number of people killed on religious and ethnic grounds in the capital was going down.

"If you look at Baghdad, which is hugely important because it is the center of everything in Iraq, you can see the density plot on ethno-sectarian deaths," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

"It's a bit macabre but some areas were literally on fire with hundreds of bodies every week and a total of 2,100 in the month of December '06, Iraq-wide. It is still much too high but we think in August in Baghdad it will be as little as one quarter of what it was," it quoted Petraeus.

My local city council has been looking into outsourcing the management of the local public library to save money. A number of residents were very dissatisfied with this and we had an interesting debate during the last city council meeting.
Would you support the outsourcing of your library services to a private company in the name of saving money?

Actually, why haven't any prominent gay activists been on TV to either confirm or deny the officer's accusations that this behavior is "common" and is "signals"?
And DON'T say this is too ridiculous for someone to discuss, because it is SERIOUS enough to have landed someone in jail!

So I would like to know - from people who are almost always consulted to discuss homosexuals' attitudes and behavior toward marriage, crime, civil rights, etc. - whether the behavior the Senator was accused is in fact common enough in the homosexual community, to support an accusation of solicitation?

It seems that liberals think risk publicity is overexageration, that profiling is always bad, etc. and it seems that conservatives play things very cautiously.

I wrote eariler about a fighting a ticket for being a cell. I know now I cant fight that. But this officer completely ignored the fact that this woman had been following me for a few miles and she almost hit me from behind for being on her cellphone as well. I told him about this woman and he just said "well there are alot of people behind you so that I guess that means alot of people are following you." He didnt even bother to care. Im 23yrs and she is in her 40's so Im guessing since Im younger that means im just making it up

As a Soldier, I get offended when I hear people say they support the troops and not the war.

How can you honestly say that you support the troops and in the very next breathe turn around and say that what we're doing is an act of terrorism, that we're murderers fighting an unjust war, that we've lost the war, that there's no way we can win, etc. It undermines everything we're working so hard to accomplish, that IS NOT support, that's working against us.

That's like telling your wife that you support her opening a business but then going around town saying that her business is illegal, immoral, worthless and useless.

Many of the Soldiers I know believe the same thing.

My wife and I woke up about 2am to my son having a difficult time breathing, so we grabbed him got in the car and drove to the hospital which is only about 5 miles down the road. Halfway there I see cop flashing his lights and I pull over and I explain what is going on, so he follows me to the hospital, DOESN'T ESCORT ME AT ALL!!, and i drop my wife and son at the front doors and i park the car. The cop tells me stay in the car and asks for my insurace and stuff. He comes back with a ticket and asks why I didn't call 911. He says I could've killed bystanders and my wife and kid and that if my son would've quit breathing i would have been in a bad situation. I told him I am trained and certified in Adult and child CPR because i'm in the Air Force, i also explained that i didn't think i had enough time to wait for an ambulance, so i rushed to the ER myself, like any other father would do. So I got the ticket, and I was going 76 in a 55. This is my first ticket. I am fighting it, Advice??

I leave soon for the army, and I'll be in the Army for 6 years. I was just wondering, in the case that I do get pregnant, will they force me to discharge early? I've already talked to my father about a plan about the "child" should I ever have to deploy. My brother David would watch the child while I'm over seas. So is being a single parent in the army a problem? I really love the idea of me serving my country...but I also umm have needs you needs, and I will never ever have an abortion. I just want to make sure that they won't make me leave the army.

Recently, I applied for financing through a small car dealership in Houston, TX where I live. I submitted my basic information and I received a phone call from the Finance Manager asking me to come in because he had found a bank willing to finance me. I came in and after discussing everything with him I signed off on the loan application and everything. I left a down payment of 1050.00 in cash and put 500.00 from a credit card for a total of 1550.00. He explained that I MAY have to present canceled checks as proof of income to the financing bank because I had given him copies of handwritten company checks from my employment. I drove off with the car and was given the temporary cardboard plates indicating the car was untitled. I had the cars for a couple of days when the bank called and asked me for the canceled checks. For reasons I'd rather not state I was not able to provide such documentation. The deal pretty much fell dead at that point. The finance manager asked me to find someone else to put the car deal under. We tried obtaining a loan through my fiance but were denied and then we tried my soon to be mother-in-law. The deal was approved but suddenly my mother-in-law decided against signing off on the loan due to the high interest rate. So I pretty much told them that I would have to give back the car after having it for four days. The dealership owner explained that due to the time they invested in trying to get my deal done and the time I spent with the car will cause him to keep my entire down payment. I was shocked....that was a lot of money and it just went away like that. Is this legal or common practice? Please help!

List as many as you possibly can. I want your opinions on what they ARE, not a rant on what they are not.

If all you're going to do is spew off anti-liberal, anti-conservative, anti-Democrat, or anti-Republican hatred, keep it to yourself. I don't want to see it.

I want honest answers.
