    Auditor:Billions wasted in Iraq

    The Republicans have betrayed a lot of us - from W down to the local congressmen. Personally, I think that if the war in Iraq had been conducted more agressively after Saddam's downfall the insurgents would not have the foothold they do now. Control and order can be established in these areas...

    Auditor:Billions wasted in Iraq

    I think the translation is that "W" has been "Lewinsky'd" in the Oval Office too. After all, hasn't every president fooled around with their 19-20 year old interns? Even in the unlikely event that such a thing has taken place, so what? It's his own personal business, he didn't have sex with her...

    Maybe?

    The last part of that article illustrates an increasingly obvious fact - Congressman Murtha simply doesn't understand what's going on in Iraq and is oblivious to the fundamental beliefs of these Islamo-fascist radicals. Wake up John! These crazies want to kill anyone who is not one of them. They...

    Tell me if this is a mistake.

    Considering the costs and overhead involved with the equipment you've described, why would you want to limit yourself to the C-sized loads and their reduced rate? Seems like the smart business move would be to go ahead and step up to the D unit for a few more dollars and maximize your revenues.

    Auditor:Billions wasted in Iraq

    He is a good politician - he and the others that are at that level in the national scene have to be much better than average. However, he has proven himself to be an almost pathological liar with no morals or character whatsoever. The most exasperating thing is that the mainstream media has...

    Auditor:Billions wasted in Iraq

    Facts are stubborn things - and given the facts we now know about the Clinton administration, he was much more deserving to be impeached and removed from office than was Nixon. He was a convicted perjurer, found to have more cover-ups of criminal activities, more illegal activities with...

    Auditor:Billions wasted in Iraq

    I am shocked - SHOCKED! that auditors have discovered govt. waste and fraud in Iraq. And it's all because of those theiving, corrupt, immoral Republicans. Of course none of this skullduggery has ever happened with a Democrat in the White House. And every Democrat-controlled congress has been...

    how upset would you get and what would you do

    This is a really long thread and maybe I've missed something, but I don't remember reading about anyone using debit cards. My situation is this - my settlements are direct deposited into my bank account. Since my bank is a large national organization they have ATMs all over most of the eastern...

    Time to clean up NASA

    I just heard this a little while ago on the radio - in order to intercept her imagined rival, this woman drove over 900 miles wearing an adult DIAPER to avoid having to stop. Even though most all of us are used to driving distances like this, it's hard to imagine spending approximately 15 hours...

    Time to clean up NASA

    Can you imagine having someone that mentally unstable involved with the critical processes required for a trip in space? One would think that NASA would have some sort of continual evaluation system in place for physical AND mental fitness. They admitted that unlike the military, there's no...

    This is how the Anti War Protestors

    RE: RE%3A This is how the Anti War Protestors Maybe I didn't make myself clear - I said we were attacked by Islamo-Fascists, namely Al-Quaeda. There are known elements of this group in Iraq right now in addition to other foreign insurgents from Iran and Syria that are providing aid and...

    This is how the Anti War Protestors

    RE: RE%3A This is how the Anti War Protestors Even World War II had a certain amount of opposition to it, and there will always be a percentage of the population that will be against military force no matter what. However, Broom makes a great point here - the anti-war sentiment toward the Iraq...

    Global Warming, the religion of the nuts

    According to historical records of the time, there were grapevines growing in Scotland (and the resulting wineries) between the 10th and 13th centuries AD. The climate and temps of that era resulted in conditions of the northern Atlantic ocean which allowed the Vikings to travel more extensively...

    Food for Thought

    Actually, the good people of Colorado thought highly enough of Gov. Lamm to elect him to three consecutive terms in that office. He was the longest serving governor in the history of the state.

    Food for Thought

    This is a bit lengthly, but there are some points here to consider. We know Richard Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Recently, Governor Lamm gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat spellbound as he...

    Good for Goode!

    I was speaking in more general terms and obviously not referring to the likes of Eisenhower or MacArthur. But if you want specifics, here are a couple of examples: (1) The well-known Admiral William Halsey rose to his position of South Pacific Area Commander in Oct. of 1942 by replacing Vice...

    Good for Goode!

    Besides Lincoln, during World War II both FDR and Churchill replaced several generals whose methods of waging war didn't work. It's hard to imagine what kind of squealing we would be hearing from the liberals in congress and the media if they were having to deal with WW II. We lost over 2000...

    Good for Goode!

    For anyone that wants a better understanding of radical Islamist philosophy, especially that of Al-Qaeda, I highly recommend a book called "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright. It's still in hardback and gives an excellent account of how this terrorist organization was put together for the...

    Okay be honest

    You've got way too much debt exposure with this plan, especially going into the time of year when cash flow will probably be at its lowest point. Just because you were busy in the first quarter of '06 doesn't mean '07 will be the same. You might want to consider continuing to drive for somebody...
