They all sound so snobby...What's up with that?

Americans did not win the war, and neither did the Brits. It was a GLOBAL effort. And in the end we all won...

Why all the snooty bashing on Yahoo answers?

Dear Friends,



This week, Congress passed a spending bill that includes significant funding cuts for global and national military repositioning, and military training and reconstruction projects in Afghanistan and Iraq. I voted against this bill and want to share some of my concerns about it with you.



First, the bill cuts $3.1 billion for military realignments that are already taking place both nationally and globally. For example, we have 14,000 troops and their 4,000 children currently being transferred from Germany to Fort Bliss. These funding cuts put into question whether there will be enough money for these military personnel to have the training facilities they need, whether they will have the same health care access and whether there will be adequate schools to send their children.



All four members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff recently wrote a letter to Members of Congress saying "disruptions in resources will cause delays and desynchronize these moves. This, in turn, can disrupt our force deployment schedules, which ultimately degrades readiness while increasing the burden on service members and their families."



In addition to these cuts to the military realignment plan, the spending bill cuts funding in half for Afghanistan where Coalition forces are still trying to quell insurgent Taliban fighters and ramp up construction of roads, power and rural reconstruction. It also only includes $40 million for Iraq reconstruction compared to the President's budget request of $709 million.



The Democratic Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, who decided to take out this money, promises the money will be there later. However, I don't think a wink and a nod is good enough for our troops and their families.



I will be working to make sure these funds are reinstated quickly, and will keep you informed on developments regarding this issue.





Sincerely,

Kay Granger

By all accounts, Mossad is the best... they know more than the CIA or MI-5, and are utterly ingenious in their intelligence/data gathering methods. Mossad assassins are second to none... and at least Israel is open that the Mossad does assassinate--enemies of Israel often do warrant this.
It's great that while the CIA has always tried to act like Mossad's better, like its big brother, demanding that it give up all its information--Mossad does not. It won't be bullied.
Second to none. It gives me such a thrill knowing that terrorist leaders in the Middle East must live in constant fear of the Mossad, knowing that at any time they will be assassinated.

Clearly it is worth sacrificing thousands more of our brave soldiers to spare Bush a little embarrassment. Once again, Rush was dead on when he predicted that the Democrats would have the nerve to put our troops' lives above W's tender feelings. The nerve of those Democrats. They should be barred from ever serving in government.

Do you think they should just pull their army out of Iraq and start dropping the Napalm? If not, what do you think the U.S. should do, or is it too late to do anything?

In 1991, Iraq invaded Kuwait. The US, as friends of Kuwait, invaded both Kuwait and Iraq in order to defend Kuwait. Now that we've invaded Iraq, would it be fair that a nation friendly to Iraq invade the USA?

The U.S Presidents office is a secret spiderman clone facility and has secret troglodyte clones into the millions to vote and to secretly exrterminate humans and be religious about it not to be snub. He also dose this creates a diversion for U.S military to go to the other side of the world where they are not needed during the process he exterminates as many as possible in Hawaii and else where. How would you eliminate a self replacing spiderman clone president and return the country back to a human rule knowing he has help in congress with fellow conspirators?

if we have 20,000 troops that cannot hold up to the armies... What makes you think 10,000 will?

Logic is lost.
