Spending money on the Osprey doesn't solve the problem either. Not every item in the Defense budget is critical to our safety. It would be nice to spend a couple trillion dollars per year on defense, but we can't afford everything. My biggest objection is do not go cheap on the stuff we do have, to fund more stuff. Do not cut back on training, pay raises, and comfort items to fund some boon doggle that a General's pal proposes.

A better example than Bush, would be does anyone mind if Mexico sends an Apache and missle down Main Street San Diego to take out a fugitive and a couple other Americans? Six other people died in the blast, with at least two having no known association with the Hamas leader. I wsh Israel cold have captured him, held a fair trail, then killed him. Do not simultanously need world help and thumb your nose at International Law.

Just employeeing people doesn't make you a saint. Microsoft as been cited for many violations of employment laws. They have pushed the boundaries in many areas. Microserfs wasn't just a catchy name for the thousands of temps that Microsoft used to circumvent paying benefits. Throughout US history we have seen employers who have used and abused their employers. Look no further than The Jungle, the meat processing plants in Chicago. That is why the Unions were able to organize and grow.

And where was the American people? Where was the rush to buy American flags? Where were the people singing God Bless America? Where were the signs? Where was the outpouring of indignation? Where were all the Senators and Congressmen demanding action? No, the action they wanted was more info on Monica. Maybe if Clinton could have controlled his penis, and the GOP could have decided to watch what was happening instead of holding impeachment hearings, we would have done something. I blame the Clinton and Monica mess for this. It distracted everyone from these acts of terrorism. The Dems, the GOP, the American people. I do not think you can blame one political party and not the other.

Damn that would suck if you got fired. It's been so nice with you working instead if posting

I'm starting to change my mind about Bush

Vince, So did you ever solve that problem?

I was a member of the Stroud crowd. I also loved his Motown Monday stuff. Ahh the days when a dj could turn an audience on with their musical selections. Now its all corporate geeks.

COME on and BeGood

Sometimes it is stuff like this Three of the people killed in Osprey accidents were from here. That hit home. I respect a leader who will vote his concious. I never believed Reagan's assertion that we would have a "peace dividend" to spend when the Soviet Empire was gone. Some people tried to limit defense spending after the USSR fell and they have been criticized ever sense. I do not believe if we had double the budget that 9/11 wouldn't have happened. I keep reading there was too much chatter, too much information.

I like Bush for a couple reasons: He's from Texas I think he will enjoy a better relationship with the military and I believe over the next 4 years that will be important. Bush2004.org link I think he has a better handle on US-Mexico border issues, which is important to me. I like the efforts he has made in regards to decency in broadcasting At a gut level, between two guys I just cannot seem to trust, he's slightly more trustworthy. He fought for the Boy Scouts There are many issues I have an issue with, but on the balance, I'm leaning towards Bush.

no, he's just a friend from Bush's earlier partier days

Isn't it up to our elected leaders to decide how our tax dollars are spent? You are correct, cutting social programs and the left cries "your starving babies and old people. Cut the military and the right cries "we're defenseless". We cannot give any area of the government a blank check. Do you believe that every single expenditure the military asks for should be funded and at whatever level they ask?

Bob, Sanitizing the view may not be in the countries best interest either. These men and women are heroes in my book. I do not understand why we are hiding their sacrifice. Men and women die in war. Every citizen has a responsibility to the men and women who choose to serve to be diligent in allowing where our elected leaders to send them off to victory or defeat. Some causes I agree with and understand we need our military, some causes I have not agreed with and write my leaders and will tell anyone and everyone why I disagree. The best way I can support our Troops is to make certain they do not die for an unjust cause. I also do not want their sacrifice to go unnoticed. Of course Lincoln could not go to them all, but I suspect he went to some.

I changed it, thank you.
