The fact that the U.S. signed and largely orchestrated International treaties that banned the use of torture for prisoners of war was something I always felt so proud of as an American.

That we would never lower ourselves to the tactics of the enemy was highly honorable and respectable.

Why are Americans allowing this abomination?

We are better than this!

Do you approve of this cost? We can argue forever on what modivates peopel to fight a foreign occupier who came halfway around the world to patrol their streets.

The question, is it worth 20 million dollars of US Taxpayer money to kill 1 enemy combatant?

How much do we spend on killing child molesters and killers, and gangbangers and violent criminals in America?

Should we have our turkey talk to the leader of Turkey to unruffle their feathers? After a conversation with President Bush they will be too confused to be angry.

We need 150,000 soldiers in a country of 25 Million, to kill 15 enemies a day, that costs us 300 million per day.

This is not even a war! This is overpriced police work!

Where else do you approve of spending 300 million a day, to kill 15 people half way around the world?

I am really confused about Iraq. From what I understand, the United States NEVER attacks anyone else. We "come-in" to help other governments. Help France in Vietnam. We return-fire after attacked. Hawaii. But we just do not attack anyone else. Especially when they are NO threat to the USA.

So what is with Iraq? And I thought to do ANY of the above, we had to get congress to legally approve these things. Did we ATTACK Iraq? Looks like it to me. Did congress approve legally of the attack. No one can seem to answer that! And what do we call what we are doing in Iraq? It is CERTAINLY NOT A WAR, a conflict, a police action. I call it an Invasion.
And how is the fighting in Iraq "protecting our freedom?" as tv and radio commericals like to say. I understand this is politics, but it just does not make any sense.

This is a very sobering article.

This man lost his son in Iraq: (Please read before answering)http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20071007bcusiraqfamilies_attn_national_editors_ytop

He is just one of the thousands of military family members who have lost a son,daughter, husband, wife, cousin, etc.

My point is this: The Modesto, Calif. , resident said he also knew that the Iraq war was working and that it must work or the deaths of his son and the more than 3,800 other members of the U.S. military would have been in vain.

Honestly now, are you taking that man's account, along with thousands of others into consideration before you scream for a "troop reduction". (Which is just a fancy way for saying cutting and running or capitulating to the Islamofascists.)

Whether the invasion of Iraq is justifiable or not is debatable.

However, since we're there, we might as well fight and finish this war aggressively.

How can they even consider passing this resolution about calling what the Turks did as genocide in WW1. Isnt this stupid after 100 years? decideing to do this now? Wouldnt this be akin to say India passing a resolution saying what we did to 2 japanese cities in WW2 as genocide? wouldnt that piss us off too? We are an ally to Turkey. Id think that more important than something that was done 100 years ago by a government that doesnt exist anymore.

Israel is a very small country, less than half the size of San Bernardino County, California. Its Jewish population is approximately 3.5 million, just about the population of Iowa. Compare that to the 22 Arab states, armed to the teeth, and virtually all of them in a state of war with Israel. They have over 140 million inhabitants and a land area larger than that of the United States. From its founding, Israel had to fight every day for its very survival. Of course this has been no problem because the Arabs live in 10 b.c.


Do Muslims needs more land? Look what they have done with the land they have? It's like a GIECO Caveman Commercial. Why not leave the only advanced society in the Middle East alone?

Top 5% of wage earners pay 53.25% of all income taxes. The top 10% pay 64.89%. The top 25% pay 82.9%. The top 50% pay 96.03%. The bottom 50%? They pay a paltry 3.97% of all income taxes. The top 1% is paying more than ten times the federal income taxes than the bottom 50%!

The bottom 50% is paying a tiny bit of the taxes, so you can't give them much of a tax cut by definition. Yet these are the people to whom the Democrats claim to want to give tax cuts. Remember this the next time you hear the "tax cuts for the rich" business. Understand that the so-called rich are about the only ones paying taxes anymore!

"Today over 100,000 United States troops invaded France, killing over 30 French civilians and creating what some would call an environmental disaster off the coast of Normandy, in an effort to engage German forces who the Roosevelt Administration admits had nothing to do with the attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The United States suffered an estimated 29,000 casualties during the attack with over 106,000 wounded. More casualties are expected due to Washington's unwillingness to negotiate with Adolf Hitler, while French officials denounced the US led attack, insisting that they were close to a compromise with German occupying forces." -Dan Rather, CBS

Plus, I mean if we don't settle this from what happened 90 years ago, when will we?

See a lot of misogyny directed at women who are not staunch right wing conformists, namely Hilary Clinton.

Could be a bunch of internet junk from shut-ins who use the computer to stay amused, for all I know.

Are Americans really that stuck in the fifties or just the pure conservatives, who still cant talk to women and minorities without sounding out of touch,or obviously condescending.

"(Wo)Men" I can see, but "lesbians"???? I mean come on.

I think they're entering it into the dictionary as a single word now.

Is it just me, or is this exactly the kind of complaint that warms your heart and sets you giggling at the right wing-feathers ruffling like this?

The tempo of M.o.L.T seems to have replaced other sentiment in the national ditto-dome and I can feel it coming to a creshcendo, a low fever-pitch.

Isn't this getting fun?

It's like debating someone and suddenly their retort is "your shoes aren't shiny enough", "you left your car lights on". Is it me, or are you hearing a softened slow switch into an "I like liberals really" complaint - to - complement thing underway here?
