Obama's national co-chairman, retired Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak, the former chief of staff of the Air Force, also raised the killing in his introduction.

"The events of this morning bring back with great clarity how important these national security issues are," he said. McPeak supported President Bush in the 2000 election, but he now says Bush lacks the intelligence that Obama would return to the Oval Office.

"We've been running a giant experiment in this country in the last seven years, testing the idea that it doesn't make that much difference if the guy in the White House is not that bright. And the results are in," McPeak said. "No matter what happens next January, there is going to be a big jump in the IQ in the Oval Office."

If I were President, and you were an advisor in my war room, and I asked you what the likely world-wide response is to a nuclear device being set off in Israel by an Islamic Extremist group, what would you tell me the likely International response would be?
For example, Israel then blows up Iran, who in turn blows up ......
Many believe that WW3 (if we're not already in it) will be started this way. So what is the likely worldwide military response, etc. to such an event?

Do you think people like David Irving and Ernst Zundel have raised legitimate questions regarding the holocaust? Also do you believe that is was just to punish such people using holocaust denial laws present in much of western Europe? Do you think it is necessary to have an historical event protected by law? Do you think we should also have the same laws in America, and should we have laws making it illegal to question other aspects of history?

We would suffer very few American casulaties if we stopped worrying about the people who will eventually grow up to be terrorist or those who are giving birth to them. Those under the age of accountability would be instantly in Gods shelter and those older have had the opportunity to choose.

I think as a nation we are long - long over due for having a women Pres, and it bothers me to find my self against Hillery who I have no doubt is a smart capable person, but for the fact, is and has been, merried to Billie boy who I don't feel was a very good Pres. and further if Hillery were elected would be back in business through the back door, (no sex pun intended).

I just got some new NASA and Air Force patches from a local store and I was wondering where to put them on my jacket. I know the NASA one is supposed to go above my left chest pocket, but I'm not so sure about the Air Force one. I also got an American flag patch, but I know that it's supposed to go on my left shoulder with the stars facing forward, right?

Or is it really corporate and private interests that are being represented?

If the interests of the average US citizen are not being represented, then how can the imposition of a Federal Income Tax be ethical?

I have a roommate who has all her stuff at my house packed and ready to go as she is leaving. I think she stole some of my stuff and it is in her bags. I have refused to let her in. Her name is not on the lease but I don' t think that matters. If the cops come, can I refuse to let them in? Won't they need a warrant or something? What will happen if I refuse to give her the bags back tonight?

My husband got orders to Germany while he was in Iraq and had to extend in order to bring his family with him because he didnt have enough time left. He had planned on getting out, but got suckered into extending to be with us. So I quit my job, changed my degree and school, sold our house, most of our belonings and our second car to come here. When we get here, no one had any idea that he was coming and the slot for his MOS had just been filled by someone else...so they moved us here and had no where to put him. Now, he has been stuck at brigade headquarters where his MOS is not authorized and has been pulling ridiculus jobs and details for 5 months. A complete waste. Someone told us that he can file for breach of contract after 6 months od being in a unit that is not authorized to have him. I needed to know if anyone knows if this is true and what army regulation states this. Any advice from anyone...my husbands losing his mind and Im really starting to hate the army. Help !

Hey, Soldiers who have been in the "sandbox"...

Did you have an experience similar to this? http://www.helium.com/tm/763207/deployed-getting-ready-again

Share your story if you want! I just want to see how true-to-life this is for other deployed Soldiers (obviously it was for me).

Please read the experience before you answer, though! Thanks! :)

What is the FairTax Plan?
The FairTax Plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an
integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal
taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue replacement, and, through companion
legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment. This nonpartisan legislation (HR 25/S 1025) abolishes all federal
personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and
self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax – administered primarily
by existing state sales tax authorities. The IRS is disbanded and defunded. The FairTax taxes us only on what we
choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and
intelligent solution to the frustration and inequ
