ABC news plays during the commercial breaks here at the office. I bet it's been almost a month since I've heard a report on Iraq. Low and behold, there was just a hideous car-bombing today and that's all I hear during every commercial break.

That's just disgusting and it really is a shame the media refuses to report the positives.

Our troops are doing an amazing job and they should get a few accolades.

guy claim to be both?. For some reason this person likes to humiliate themselves on-line in this Yahoo forum. So Far this person has managed to deduce I served 18 years Army (NOT in US) and am no longer Active but a reservist, he posted this question on-line and 7 out of 7 answers told him, yes you can be retired from active and be a reservist, now is it because this person only managed to hack it for 4 years and is jealous of someone with 18 (possible it might be added to shortly) or is it because this person never left the US can not be a member of VFW because he never served in a foreign War, he feels so insignificant that he feels he has a right to email real vets and demand they prove to him their service. My only conclusion is because he must feel so insignificant that he humiliates himself so much, what do you think?

QUOTE "WASHINGTON - The U.S. military's top officer acknowledged on Tuesday that for all the importance of preventing Afghanistan from again harboring al-Qaida terrorists, Washington's first priority is Iraq.
"In Afghanistan, we do what we can," said Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "In Iraq, we do what we must."....His statement, delivered with emphasis in a prepared opening statement to the House Armed Services Committee, prompted some Democrats to say it showed what they have argued for years: that the Bush administration has become so bogged down in Iraq that it cannot make more effort in Afghanistan. I find it troubling that our ongoing commitment in Iraq prevents us from dedicating resources in Afghanistan beyond what is necessary to prevent setbacks, as opposed to what is required to realize success," Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the committee, said after the hearing."...??

86% of Americans have health insurance. Less than 10% of children don't have health insurance. Then there is medicare and medicaid to help cover the rest. Then there is an existing SCHIP program which covers even more, and if that's not enough, anybody in the country can go to a community hospital, and that hospital is required to treat them for free.

What do you want? Do my taxes have to pay for even more health care? Does everybody in this country have to have insurance? Are we that arrogant to think that we even have poor people in this country, when 86% have health insurance?

I do think that Oprah is supporting Obama mainly because he's black and because they have a similar background. But don't you think Oprah and blacks in general want to see a black president. Note: I say black rather than African American because not all Africans are black and not all black people consider themselves African ie Jamacians, etc

A 16 year-old girl was recently murdered by her father in Canada. And apparently, her friends, school authorities, and youth shelter workers were aware that this girl was being abused by her father and brother.
http://www.thestar.com/article/284824

And this makes me wonder. Why didn't anybody report this chilld abuse to the Social Services? Why was it allowed to escalate to murder? Is there any law which says that people working with children have to report child abuse, when they suspect it?
