Like mysterious stock market put options very similar to 9/11 put options, the Britain economic panic, France calling for war in Iran, Greenspan saying the economy is Bush's fault, and international leaders saying 9/11 was an inside job and calling for war crimes tribunal against Bush.

Mercenaries are paid about four times as much per month as the starting salary for a soldier, so we would have more money to pay soldiers if we didn't use those guys, or at the very least, our government shouldn't be paying more for merc than they pay our troops.

Also, unlike our troops, they aren't subject to the UCMJ, so they are unaccountable for their actions. Consequently, they have been more abusive with Iraqis which leads to more ill-will against the occupation which could result in violence toward our troops. Just today, the Iraqi government demanded that one of the mercenary companies leave Iraq. If the mercs behavior is so bad the Iraqi government is willing to defy Bush, you can be sure other Iraqis would be mad enough to take a shot at one of our soldiers.

So how exactly is using these private contractors, who got their job through political connections helping the troops?

The United States is complaining about Iran and other countries having nuclear weapons and for other countries to set sanctions against those countries which they suspect have the weapons. However, the US has many nuclear weapons itself.
The countries that have nuclear weapons are: United States, Russia, Britain, France, China, and Israel.
The United States was the ONLY country to ever use nuclear weapons against another country in a time of war. Does anyone remember the horrible and evil damage the United States caused to Hiroshima, Japan? Also, Nagasaki, Japan?
How can a country tell other countries to disarm when it has so many weapons itself?
I am so embarrassed to have this big tyrant, known as the United States, to be geographical neighbours to us here in Canada.

Now that France is calling for war in Iran, is it any surprise that Israel doesn't that un-edited video floating around as it is a public relations disaster for gaining support for the war?

They think they know something, but they never can back it up with evidence.

Like Global Warming. Why do they deny Global Warming when the polar ice caps are melting? It's on the news for crying out loud and they still deny it.

Below, Hillary says how health insurance will be paid for those still uninsured.

Can any of you guess how the businesses will pass on the cost?

And when she says the wealthy should help defray the cost...anyone want to guess what the definition of "wealthy" is?



She called for a requirement for businesses to obtain insurance for employees, and said the wealthy should pay higher taxes to help defray the cost for those less able to pay for it. She put the government's cost at $110 billion a year.

"Perhaps more than anybody else I know just how hard this fight will be," said the New York senator.

Dismissing the inevitable Republican criticism, Clinton admonished the crowd. "I know my Republican opponents will try to equate health care for all Americans with government-run health care. Don't let them fool us again. This is not government-run

What is the biggest difference between the two being that WWII had most of Americans support and Iraq has our national leaders fighting against each other and taking non supportive actions to hurt any potential we may have to succeed.

In other words, why was there war bonds and support efforts during WWII, but currently all donations are being sent to political campaigns for special interest groups to assure person wealth.

A few days ago I received the rudest, slowest, incompetent service at a McDonalds drive thru window. The employee insulted me on a personal level & practically threw the bag of food into my hands. I retaliated by throwing the sleeve of large fries right back at her but unfortunately she closed the window quickly and the fries hit the window & fell to the ground.

Anyway, the next think you know, the police arrive at my house - tell me I must go back and apologize to the worker & sock me with a $200 littering fine.

I really did nothing wrong & plan to fight this littering ticket. I plan to plead not guilty & on my court date prepare a defense for myself claiming I tossed the fries out the window to feed the seagulls that normally wait for scraps in the parking lot.

What are my chances of having the fine dismissed?

They are about to create a Hell on Earth

Just curious! I remember an America that would fight back, even against its own Government if needed.

What happened to our Nation?

When did the power shift from the tax paying voters to the Elite

When did this become a Nation of cowards instead of a Nation of free people backed by the Constitution
