of Iraq?

Unlike US troops Muslims are experts at killing other Muslims mostly because Muslims know who the terrorists are especially foreigners who make up most of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

There are about 25 Million Iraqi Shiites & Kurds to hunt down & kill Al Qaeda in Iraq. There are only about 150,000 US troops. Just do the math & you'll figure it all out.

to protect our homeland. Instead, we're talking about sending more over to IRAQ! WTF. This is pissing me off.

"Although we have discovered only a handful of individuals in the United States with ties to al Qaeda senior leadership since 9/11, we judge that al Qaeda will intensify its efforts to put operatives here," the report said.

"As a result, we judge that the United States currently is in a heightened threat environment," it said.

"What we're trying to remind people of is this is a real threat," he told reporters before the report was released. "This is not an attempt to divert."

What kind of message will we send to the world when our "leaders" (if you can call them that) cause our boys to lose this war? Will it be a message that we are a patsy nation and we never follow though with what we say we are going to do? Or will it be a message that we are so concerned with being nice to everyone that we can't win a war? Will we be able to defend our homeland when they start attacking us because the terrorists set up shop in Iraq and start spreading propaganda about how we went in and disrupted the region and left, and now we need to be wiped off the face of the Earth? Who will be to blame in that case?

In the wake of the scandal involving Senator Vitter, Wendy has chosen to stand by her husband throughout this time. When the Lewisky scandal broke, former First Lady and current NY Senator Hillary Clinton chose to do the same. I haven't heard of nor have I witnessed any backlash against Senator Vitter's wife for the decision that she made, yet when Hillary made that same decision there was backlash against her for choosing to stand by her husband. Doesn't that sound rather hypocritical?

The useless pinko do-gooder touchy-feely namby-pamby Labour poncers have "misplaced" enough of our tax dollars to buy another nation.

Labour has the highest tax revenue of any UK government in history.

Several reports out today claim that inequality now is much worse than 20 or 30 years ago. One tool that the government hoped would tackle the opportunity gap - SureStart - also came in for criticism. MPs said it was failing to target those who most need it. So what is the government doing to tackle the problem

The US media eagerly joined this deception, even though 95% of Iraq’s resistance groups had no sympathy for bin Laden’s movement. Watch any US network TV news report on Iraq and you will inevitably hear reporters parroting Pentagon handouts about US forces "launching a new offensive against al-Qaida."
Al-Qaida in Mesopotamia didn’t even exist before 9/11, but that didn’t stop President Bush from trying to gull credulous voters. He simply ignored the 2006 National Intelligence Estimate that found US-occupied Iraq had become an "incubator" for violent anti-American groups.
If the US were to withdraw from Iraq tomorrow, the nation would be split between warring Shia, Sunni and Kurdish parties. The fake Al-Qaida in Iraq would end up at the bottom of the totem pole, or be wiped out by other Iraqis. Even Osama bin Laden and his number two, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, have blasted the phony al-Qaida in Iraq and called for an end to its attacks on Iraqi civilians.
But Americans are increasingly leery of the White House’s crying wolf. Many are also asking how Bush could claim "steady progress" was being made in his wars when it appears the al-Qaida movement is back to pre-2001 strength, anti-American groups are popping up across Asia and Africa, and Iraq is a bloody mess.
After six years of conflict, 3,600 dead and 25,000 wounded American soldiers, expenditure of $610 billion, tens of thousands of dead Iraqis and Afghans, collapse of Mideast peace efforts, and a Muslim World enraged against the US, nothing positive seems to have been accomplished by a leader who likes to style himself, "the war president."
As the White House now ponders an attack on Iran, we would do well to recall the famed words of King Pyrrhus of Epirus, "one more such victory and we are ruined."

England's chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson, has called for a system that assumes everyone is a potential organ donor - unless they expressly request not to be.

Surveys have indicated that as many as 70% of people want their organs donated after death, but only 20% of the population are on the NHS Organ Donor Register.

So, is creating a system where you have to "opt out" of organ donation the best way to tackle the problem of donor shortage?

And is this kind of "soft paternalism" the best way to make an apathetic nation engage with the issues affecting our lives? What else might we be automatically enrolled into?

Sorry- sad fact.
Countries like Canada, Singapore, Thailand and many others make a fortune off the mainly American medical refugee- for whom it is cheaper to travel & get 1st class health care elsewhere than to pay insurance and be treated like crap in their own nation.

It's really sad & sick isn't it?

Surely this can't be the America your greatest generation fought for?

45 million without healthcare?

An America for the selfish & super-rich to earn from the sweat and tears of the average hard-working American?

We are all in this together, we are all Americans who want the best for our country, so why do we, the citizens, fight and argue between us? Why do republicans defend Bush as if he their father and why do liberal/democrats insist on blaming all the countries woes on Bush?

If we want to make a difference the in-fighting has to stop and we need to find common ground.

Why is common ground so hard to find if we all want the best protection and services our country can offer?

What would you suggest?

2007-07-17 01:15:24 · 13 answers · asked by American citizen and taxpayer 7

There would be two basic rules:

One, there would be no limits on campaign contributions. Anyone could bankroll anyone else. The list of contributors, however, would have to be made public immediately and widely publicized.

Two, there would be a program initiated called the "clean elections initiative." (New Jersey is already experimenting with something like this.) Any candidate that receives a set number of small donations from a large group of people, and who refuses to accept large contributions, can campaign as a "clean elections" candidate and receive generous public funds for the campaign.

Yes, it's idealistic - perhaps hopelessly so. But it seems to address the problems with money in campaigns without actually prohibiting people from making contributions.

I'm sure there are problems. But I hope there is some merit also.

What are your thoughts? Thanks.
