Is it possible that Bushie is playing politics with our servicemen? Bush will rather NOT appropriate the funds that is in the Dems bill... Bush wants America to think that the Dems are keeping the money but in fact, Bushie can line-item veto anything that he doesnt like in the funding bill.

It means, "cut" our loses (human and financial) and leave the battlefield ("run" away).

Can anyone explain to me how the democrat's strategy is NOT 'cut and run'?

I mean i know i've been asking a lot of questions about this stuff for a 15 year old. But I mean the USA is probably the best country to live in EVER, and you would think that other countries would want equal success and become democratic countries, which would change a lot of problems in the world!! I guess this goes back to the question "why can't we all just get along" man it just is starting to bother me that sometime in my lifetime USA is going to go through another "depression" or "war" and all these peace that we have now is going to be gone. and it's just funny how they're is a whole other universe out there and here we are just one little speck of life, so you would think we would be unified. but instead we all speak different languages and have different religions, different beliefs. We start wars and kill our own species. It's almost embarrasing, and sometimes I even hope that aliens attack, because then the whole world would unite.

new deployments are 15 months now.
Before our soldiers would get $1000 for every month past one year they served.

Pentagon changed $1000 into 1 extra day vacation.

Thats less than what a nrmal person gets at their job.

Dont our troops ddeserve more.
If anythign they deserve extra vacation days and the $1000

Whos with me -- Call Your congressman -- tell them to do something baout it.
Ive already sent multiple emails and phone calls to the paper and to Nancy pelosi's office.

If anything our troops deserve more.
Lets support them!!!

Can see some of the statistics but can't find anything between 1994 and 2000. Basically the Clinton years. Its murky, China had 60 in dec 2000, 78 in 2001, 118 in 2002, 159 in 2003, and it goes on. -http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfhhis01.txt
Since the years are so close when it started, did Clinton or Bush authorize the sale of US Securities to China?

Fraud probe sought after carbon offset industry found to suffer 'serious credibility concerns'...

Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on “carbon credit” projects that yield few if any environmental benefits.

Historically, that statement has absolulty no basis in fact if you look at examples such as the tuskegee experiments, mind control experiments including MK-Ultra and operation paperclip as well as artichoke. Operation Northwoods is also very interseting. There are many more examples as well. We do know much of the truth about these things now, but look ho0w long they took to come out.

It appears that Republicans say you cant.
Thats how you know whos truly out to serve the best interest of America, and whos just out to support Bush.

Our government was designed on the basis of checks and balances, yet all these bush suporters maintain you should support bush at ll cost.

By them continuing there arguement, is that their own show of lack of support for America, their lack of patriotism for whats good for the american people by trying to side with an imbecill at all cost?

The criminal justice system



According to my professor, “Eating, sleeping, and playing computer.” are some of the activities that the criminal usually do in the jail. They live as happy as the people outside of the jail. That’s why I believe that the criminal justice system does not function well. So, the criminal justice system should give to the violent criminal longer prison sentences, let them work for the government, and reform them while they are in prison.

Many prisoners are released from the prison and later, they make the crime, and then return to the prison. I think we should castigate them by putting them in prison for the longer time. If they return to prison again, we will give them longer prison sentences. Another thing is we can’t just let them live a happy live in the prison, and doing nothing there, but eating, sleep, and playing. So, the criminal justice system must let them work in the prison, so they will pay for the crime that they made. And the important thing is the criminal can become good people if we reform them while they are still in jail. We have to educate them by teaching them true and false.

In conclusion, the criminal sometimes return to the prison, but if the Criminal Justice System put them in jail longer time, let them work, and educate them while they are in jail. Then, I believe they will be rehabilitated and change into good citizens for our society, even the world.

Does it worry anyone that Iraq has become an Al Qaeda recruiting station where new terrorists get educated in the how to be Al Qaeda terrorists? (Just like Afghanistan was in the 1980s)

And if the US military hasn't been able to stop the terrorists in 4 years & counting, how will the ever stop their growing numbers in Iraq (w/o just nuking Iraq off the face of the earth)?
