Cut the welfare rolls, that would be a good start.

A hero since you know alott go help Omaba. Better yet why don’t you become our nest (Bush) president. you’r like a Genius.

Never mind obama spending nearly 3 times what bush spent in 8 years. You do the math, and you look up the FACTS. Our military costs are significant, but spending 0.7 Trillion on worthless road paving and fluff that was already paid for with your fuel taxes was total crap. More Americans are killed, over 40,000 in 2007, on American roads than in our present wars and nobody is out to ban automobiles…well, not yet. But, they are banning your ability to make personal choices by taking away your ability to get the medical care YOU want. They have also impacted your ability to provide for yourself, and they are working overtime to limit your ability to communicate freely as per Rule No. 1 of our Constitution. They have set in motion the undermining of our military with the repeal of DADT, and they have set in motion the ever-increasing price of petroleum by tying American hands to develop the wells and refine OUR own reserves. What box are you living in?

you must be listening to the fox network. For your information. The great george W spent more money than any other president this country has ever had. Thats a fact Jack!!

who cares

if you didn’t know the bar is closed. its after 2 am. we were discussing the start treaty not veteran benefits as if you would know the difference. your democratic buddies in congress probably don’t know either.

It’s hard to keep up you #%6@ jumping limb from limb. Obama is not disarming the U.S.A. Obama want an up dated New tready with the Russian. As I see it, its the Obstructionst Republicans Jim DeMint who was holding out inless the Republicans got the tax cut for him self and the wealhty (Coporation) lets not forget their Earmarks. Blame Bush for N.Korea having Nukes. it would never happen under a Democrat remember Chinton he had the N. Korea sign peace treaty. It was under Bush that he let tready expired. And now the Iran has Nukes too. the more you watch Fox News the less you know. I don’t even trust Fox new with the weather.

Hey! That’s my bridge to sell …!

Really? Why? Do you expect them to nuke themselves??

Ha! good comeback!

Carol, the only one who is blind is you and the others like you that are posting the SHIITE the Obama administration is feeding you. They are leading you around by the white cane you are using. The thousands of missing people you mentioned in Iraq are not missing because Americans disappeared them; they are missing because Muslim militias came in the middle of the night and took them. I guess we should use some of the spy planes and satellites you mentioned in your earlier post to find them. If you remember that Iraq had a 9 year war with Iran. Many thousands of those missing people are buried in the desert from that war. Where are you getting those figures from? What are your sources considering as you said the media is not telling us about them. AL-Jeezera. How do you know all these things? Have you ever been to Iraq, Afghanistan any of the cradles of civilization you speak of? Those days are centuries past. Iraq is a cesspool. Even the people that live there don’t want to be there. They are escaping in droves. Where do they go? Why to the west of course. They escape to the west because they know they won’t be dragged out in the night and slaughtered for what they believe in. Who cares thinks that because the Clinton administration signed a treaty with N Korea that it was bushes fault they didn’t live up to it. Carol thinks that those who think treaties are meant to be broken are dishonorable people. That is the only thing we agree on. Who are the people breaking the treaties. Why it is the dishonorable people in Iran, North Korea Russia. But carol and her crew vilify Bush. Wow. Isn’t that special? Anybody including me that try to change their mind is wasting time. What Military coup in Thailand are you referring to Carol? WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS INFORMATION you are living in some fantasy world that you just make up information to sell your theories. Africa, Africa, where they are murdering hundreds of thousands many of them who had been neighbors in Rwanda. The thousands that cried for Clinton to send help. Well he couldn’t send help because he and Monika were smoking cigars in the oval office while Hillary was bilking millions out of the real estate market. Africa where the UN troops ignored the raping of infants and their mothers. Africa where they are castrating little boys because they believe that little boy’s penises will ward off aids while they continue to rape their neighbor’s wives and daughters. Yes these are the people we need to be asking how bad America is. Did you know that the horrible George Bush #2 spent more US treasure to help the people in AFRICA from the AIDS epidemic than any other US president in history? But hey I guess they used that money to buy more machetes’ to kill their neighbors and cut little boy’s genitals cause THAT is the way to cure aids. If you don’t like it here PLEASE leave. I will buy the ticket for you. Then you can be one of the American disappeared. Take WHO cares with you, because in the end WHO CARES.

I don’t give a rat’s ass about any other country’s nuclear capabilities as long as the country I am in has the biggest and the best. If we are a threat good more power to us. We are still the kindest, considerate, and most helpful nation than any others put together. God Bless the U.S.A. and please dear Lord, help the peaceful christians conquer the whiles of the devil through song and prayer. Amen. If you don’t understand that then quit reading someone else’s mail.

Jill,
You live in la la land, we are nothing like that at all and the rest of the world does not see us that way either.

Iraq right now has the most ‘disappeared’ people on earth, do you know what that term means? They have piles of bodies every day that are not claimed by anyone, because people fear for their lives. A large Percentage of the bodies show signs of torture and mutilation. We are in charge there, we are responsible for all that suffering and death, we do not see the pictures, our government will not allow it. But the rest of the world does see them, they know what we are even if we don’t. More than 80% of those ‘disappeared people are children under 12, Where did they go Jill? 100s of 1000s of disappeared people, that is the result of Bush’s serge, that was suppose to be such a success. This done to a small country, 26 million people, we are a country of 300 million. And Jill, Iraq never attacked us, never planned to attack us. They had no connection to Al Qaeda or to 9/11, none. How kind is that?

Ask an African, they will say the USA gives with one hand and takes away with both hands.

Take a look at all the tyrannical Dictators this country supports around the world and look at the conditions the people of those nations live under. This government has overthrown many Democratically elected people in other nations and installed cruel dictators that will do their bidding.

This government just sponsored a military coup in Thailand, a bloody one, now, how do you think things will be for the people there.

You know nothing at all about your country’s foreign policy. We have over 1000 military bases in 130 countries. The world hates us.

Check out the School of the Americas, where soldiers from these nations run by dictators learned all the ways to torture people. Oh! yes kind indeed.

Wake up Jill, read our history. We stopped wearing the white hats shortly after WWII. You believe a fairy tale.

Jill, you’r type of people are scary. On one hand you’r preaching while on the other hand you’r using the bibble ones head at same time saying dear lord give me strength to knock the hell out of him. Christians are not peaceful if anything they use God for strength while they kill. The Christian right Ted Haggard, evagelical preacher. as active preacher he was having a 3 year sexual relation with a man. Reagan was the first republican president to allowed american companies to move out country. todays republicans gives every company a tax breaks and no tariffs. The U.S can’t build missiles with out computer chips made in China. American companies moved too China for their greed. smocke that.

right there with you. Our overseas military bases have become a welfare provider for many locations, since we built them, in large part during WW2. Initially to provide defense for nations battered after the war, they have become an essential part of those local and national economies. It’s easy to think that an emotional viewpoint is the basis of which to get our troops home–that those nations don’t want us there, but the facts say otherwise. Those who have never served, and never done service overseas, cannot fathom the national ties that are forged through these alliances. Are there negatives in all this? Sure, there are all sorts of reasons that we might need to assess our reasons economically and defensively to remain, but the American policy is not to take over nations. Those who want to play the emotional game conveniently forget or were never intelligent enough to look at the facts that UN Resolution 1441 was the reason we went into Iraq (and I do not like the UN as it defeats our sovereignty). Afghanistan was a bad choice, based on many things, and it has whipped the hineys of every nation that ever entered aggressively. But, the words of obama have proven to be lies where he said he’d end both of those wars–but, more honestly, beyond his ability to simply turn off like a water faucet.

hahaha…I see your true colours…shinin’ through…

and it appears to be a shade of yellow.

Personally, I think Iran should be allowed to have nukes. After all, pretty much everyone else in that region does. And with Israel rattling sabres, it might keep the Israeli dogs at bey, and stave off yet another war. And besides, who are we to say which countries can have them, and which countries can’t?

Generally, I agree that we shouldn’t be so restrictive in nuclear armament. I also believe we should allow other nations to defend themselves. So if Iran really believes what they preach (destroy Israel and the “infidels”–USA), then we should allow Israel to retaliate and destroy them if Iran steps out of line–with no repercussions from America for Israel taking such an action. If you truly want Iran to have nukes and NOT use them, then Iran must believe that they WILL be destroyed completely if they do use a nuke. And even that is not a guarantee that they won’t use a nuke. If they truly believe in their cause, they will still seek to destroy Israel and the “infidels” as they preach just like suicide bombers destroy themselves for a “greater good.” And it doesn’t even have to be the people of Iran that agree to such mass martyrdom, as it would only require a decision by those that control the nuclear weapons program….

Mutual disarmament isn’t the answer either. First, what if a nation cheats? People claim that satellite technology would stop cheating, but what is the purpose of secret labs? To be secret? And didn’t we recently learn that some country had a few more nuclear facilities than we thought they had? We must have just forgotten to fly our satellites over their country for a few months, or maybe a year or two….

Okay, so on Iran – Do you really believe that they want to start a nuclear (pronounced ‘nu-kyoo-lur’, if you’re an imbecile) war?

For starters, they don’t have weapons-grade plutonium (about 80% pure, or higher)…only energy-grade (about 15% to 20% pure)…and to get from energy-grade to weapons-grade takes a crapload of money and technology, not to mention time.

Secondly, even if they did get nukes, to use them on a neighboring country would be just plain stupid, since you’d get your own people with the fallout from your own nukes.

In all honesty, I think Ahmadinejad is just doing what all politicians would do under similar circumstances – telling the people what they want to hear. And it’s easy to say that ‘if I had nukes’…and then make threats and tough-talk, which garners support from his people, who…just saw one of their neighbors invaded by the Bush regime/administration. However, if they actually ever did get nukes, I’m willing to bet that the language would be toned down considerably.

So, you talk about this ‘greater good’, and I’m glad you brought that up.

So…have you asked them what this ‘greater good’ actually is, or are you just making assumptions, based on what you read in our North American mainstream (bought and sold) media?

Because, quite frankly, I just don’t buy the ‘reaming virgins in heaven’ thing. They could do that here on Earth, if they wanted.
I personally have not asked them either…BUT…apparently Deepak Chopra did…and what they told him was that they were tired of America’s meddling in their land. That, and they were sick of watching their children die in wars, to serve ‘American interests’.

Think about that for a second.

The ‘greater good’ you spoke of, according to someone who lives there, was to get their message across to the ‘American’ government, that they don’t want ‘America’ meddling in their affairs anymore…and that they are so SICK OF IT, that they are now willing to blow themselves (well..and others) up, just to get noticed. To make sure people around the world take notice, and say, ‘Well…why are we still in there, anyways?’

To fight a ‘war on *terror*’…?? What kind of a crock of sh!t is that?!

Do you know that Osama bin Laden never actually claimed responsibility for the 9/11 incident? But Baby Bush needed a new enemy…or a face of terror. Osama bin Laden fit the bill then…and still serves a purpose now. And of course, as we all know…Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 incident…nor did they have nukes (or ‘WMDs’ in Dubya-speak).

So now, thousands of American soldiers have been killed – along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi innocents – and for what?

To make America safer? Well, the Orwellian measures taken at the airports could have ensured that, without having to invade Iraq.

Really, all Baby Bush would have had to do prior to the 9/11 incident, would have been to put a contingency plan into place…and escape plan. And since he ignored the August 6th 2001 PDB, I would have to say he wanted the 9/11 incident to go down…probably just like it did. And why? Because it served a purpose for him, and for Cheney and his Halliburton cronies.

Personally, I’m glad Bush got ‘elected’ (or rigged the election, I guess), because it helped to expose just how corrupt the government has become here. They cater to the rich, and line their own pockets, as we the middle class are disappearing…most likely by design.

Also…getting back to nukes…you say, ‘what if a nation cheats’…?

Well, what if they do? Really what difference would it make if one country had 1000 nukes, or 1010 nukes…?? And if one nuclear submarine could take out a whole country, then how many do we really need anyways?

Not only that, if a country has the know-how and the resources to do it, they can always make more.

Are you kidding me Robert, there are many ways of knowing every little thing that goes on in the world. What do you think those Satelites that can read license plates on cars are for. What do you think those little drone planes Texas has now to look into people’s homes are for?

No one on earth can hide anything. Think!!!

Exactly, and not only that, if Republicans were really so concerned with protecting ‘Americans’, then why did they oust one of their own agents, Valerie Plame…??

No, Republicans, if I were to make a generalization, seem to think with their wallets…and their biggest ‘customers’ (like Dick Cheney, and his Halliburton cronies) are people who profit from wars, which is why they seem to want to continually rush us all headlong into wars.

Of course, the catch with nukes is; How many do you really need? I have no doubt that the old Republicans are scared most, if not all of the time. After all, they realize that America is the only country to ever use nukes in anger. Their fear must be partially based around the idea that someone, somewhere is going to demand retribution. He who lives by the sword, and all that…

Dogma, Valerie Plame wasn’t a Cia agent she was a desk jockey that never spent a day in the field. She was an intelligence analyst not a field Agent. And your question how many nukes do you need? Ask Iran, Ask North Korea? How many do they need? And why if they are so terrible do they need them? But you can’t ask them can you? Yes the U.S. used ATOMIC bombs, not NUKES to end a war that had already claimed 50 million lives. To save another few million more live’s including your grandfather or father depending on how old you are. Golly just think if we hadn’t, you might not be here to post your diatribe/manifesto. The people we used the ATOMIC bombs on are our allies now. Gee they don’t seem to be so upset do they? Truman spent many hours contemplating/praying the use of this horrible device and spoke with experts before he made his decision to use the ATOMIC bombs to end the war that we didn’t start by the way. Nobody has demanded retribution not even the only people we used the ATOMIC BOMBS on. Yes the only part of your little essay that is correct is those who live by the sword die by the sword. But you forgot that it is the people that don’t have swords that die in larger numbers. A wise man once said to a statement “that it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees”. The wise man said “no it is better to live on your feet than die on your knees”.

Get a clue! How much technology do you think we possess in relation to the “other side”? Don’t you understand that we developed the capabilities right alongside the other team, and then Clinton sold our space technology to the Chicoms, so our edge on guidance systems is now lost. Show me one thing that we produce on American soil with American technology that isn’t duplicated atom for atom by communist engineers this day in age. Do you honestly think the other team rolls out the nuke maintenance stand in broad daylight for all the space-borne eyes to watch? How about YOU do some excogitation for a few seconds!

Oh, settle down, Penelope.

The ‘other side’…?? WTF is that, anyways? Holy sh!t, son…come out from under your bed already…at your age you should know there’s no such thing as the ‘boogey man’.

Gawd…you far-right nut-jobs live in such fear, it really is amazing that you’re even able to function on a daily basis, since you seem so afraid to walk out your own front door each day, without arming yourselves to the teeth.

Maybe if your Republican overlords would quit making enemies around the world, you wouldn’t have to be so scared all the time. Besides that, if you’re so confident Jesus H. Christ will protect you, then you shouldn’t need to be such a chicken-sh!t. For gawd’s sake, man…grow a pair already.

Credible evidence for you who think that some ink on a useless piece of paper means anything to a communist or dictator.

“Hans Brix…”

Carole Howell are you kidding? There are many places left on earth that people can hide. Why do you think they havent found Osama Bin Ladens body yet? The Soviet Union is just going to let us fly our little spy planes over their country so that we can Verify their compliance of the Start treaty? Get real. Texas is a part of the US Russia isnt,Yet.Why havent we found the WMDs Saddam hid in Syria, cause Syria wont let us come in and see them. We know he had them cause we gave them to him and he used them numerous times in his 9 year war with Iran. Then on the Kurds in his own country. DUH. Come out of your cave Fred is cooking a brontasaures ob the BBQ in the backyard. Satellites cant see inside underground bunkers and the cold war was a chess game where the opponants Knew when the Satellites flew over so they just moved the pieces in between flyovers. If inspectors want to come in they need the badguy’s permission. Here in the US they just drive out from the UN building take a drive and bring a picnic lunch. Try getting into Iran or North Korea for a sunday drive. You will never be seen again. Spyplanes wont find you deep in a moldy prison. Get real. It really isnt the Russians we need to worry about,but the countries that dont care about treaties. Your question why do we need Nuclear weapons? Why do you need doors in your house with locks? Why do you need drapes on your windows? The answer is because some degenerate will be walking into your house to take what you worked hard for. Some pervert is watching you or your daughter dressing or showering or making love to your husband and just might like what he see’s and decide to walk into your doorless home and get a little for himself. It will be up to you whether you will give it up or not. But the decision will be yours when the wolf is standing at the foot of your bed. Obama is required by the OATH he took to prevent that wolf from ever getting to the foot of your bed.But Guess what little red riding hood? Obama is the wolf in grandma’s nightgown. My grandmother what long teeth you have.

Your one dumb SOB. your vet alright from F-troop. Did you not read the heading? DeMint a freaken Republican’s Backs off his threat to delay START TREADY debate. Thats all you’r party does OBSTRUCT. And you dummies blame the Democrats for everything. NO such thing as Obamacare tax payers will be paying for the Public Option. Fox New Leaks From: Bill Sammon. Subject: Friendly reminder lets not slip back into calling it the “Public Option” Please use the term “Government Run” health insurance or when BREVITY is a concern Government option whener possible. Republicans are the one who holding the country hostage. very mush like you’r daddy figure (Bush) Hitler did to the German people. It was nazi who used the term Homeland But Bush copied it. Bush being German. dumb ass you should be blaming Reagan he’s the one who signed the first tredy with the Russians and is because of Reagan tax payers had to pay for dismandling of Russian Nukes. No wonder you freaken people are so stupid guys like you passing misinformation. You hostly believe Obama does not Nukes in the USA? I did not know he had so mush power. people don’t listen to this IDIOT.

and this coming from the little mouse that roared? everyone was laughing at N Korea strutting its stuff – now they are glaring at their hind-site stuppidity.

More than 30 former defense or foreign policy government officials and related experts issued an open letter to the Senate Monday expressing their “professional judgment” that President Barack Obama’s proposed nuclear weapons reduction treaty with the Russians, called New START, “is not consistent with the national security interests of the United States,” and “should be rejected by the U.S. Senate,” which is considering it now.

They argue that Russia easily could cheat secretly to our detriment, that it would restrict deployment of new U.S. anti-missile defenses, that it would reduce the survivability and flexibility of our our strategic forces and could be militarily destabilizing, that it permits a continued large Russian superiority in overall nuclear weapons, and that resulting insecurity among our allies about continued extended deterrence could lead to intensified production and proliferation of nuclear weapons—all unintended, harmful consequences, the opposite of the Obama Administration’s announced goals for the agreement.

Among the many signers are: Ambassador Ed Rowny, former U.S. chief START negotiator; Vice Adm. Robert Monroe, U.S. Navy (Ret), former director, Defense Nuclear Agency; Judge William Clark, former national security adviser to President Reagan; Honorable Paula DeSutter, former assistant secretary of State for Verification, Compliance, and Implementation; Honorable Fred Ikle, former director, U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, Ambassador Read Hammer, former deputy director, U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and former chief U.S. START Negotiator; Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerny, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), former deputy chief of staff; Ambassador John Bolton, former undersecretary of State for arms control and international security, and former U.S. ambassador to the U.N.; Ambassador Henry Cooper, former director, Strategic Defense Initiative of the Department of Defense, and former U.S. chief negotiator, Defense and Space Talks with the Soviet Union; and Hon. Edwin Meese, III, fomer counselor to the president and former U.S. attorney general.

More specifically, despite Obama administration claims to the contrary, the former officials and experts say that the proposed New START treaty has the following major problems, among others:

* It would effectively limit further U.S. anti-missile defenses for the American homeland in the face of growing rogue nation/terrorist nuclear threats, saying “it would be folly to limit, let alone preclude, available options to do so” in the future.
* It “is simply not adequately verifiable,” and “the Russians could engage in militarily significant violations with little fear of detection by the US,” with years being needed before we could respond adequately.
* It “would reduce the survivability and flexibility of our (strategic) forces.”
* Its low limits on the number of nuclear launchers could end up being militarily and strategically destabilizing;
* It would solidify a large Russian superiority in nuclear weapons when considering its 10-to-1 advantage in tactical nuclear weapons, many of which have strategic capabilities and roles, and which have been termed an “urgent” problem by the Congressional Strategic Posture Commission.
* It could force cuts in some of our vital conventional capabilities (i.e., heavy bombers) as well.
* It would “create concerns” among our allies about America’s continuing extended deterrent capability to protect them, which could lead to “intensified proliferation” of nuclear weapons.
* “It is unnecessary and ill-advised for the US to make these sorts of deep reductions in its strategic forces” so that the Russians are authorized/enabled to modernize and build up to our levels.

Your logic is wasted on the trolls. But, I commend you in the extreme for an excellent job of using FACTS to argue your position! Awesome, dude! Molon Labe

You’re right. This thing is playing out like a Tolkein novel.

You’r information must of come from Fox (opinion) New. Or are you going agaist you’r wanna be father Bush He and his Daddy is for the new treaty. And a hand full freaken GOP, Republicans. Leave politics to politicians what you should be doing is trying to save you’r asses from them, they’re eating you alive.

Once again its amazing the lack of respect or is it a lack of education
regardless of Political views usally a persons name starts with a capital letter.These problems started prior to THE PRESIDENT taking office it may have escalated but he did not start it alon with the citizens reckless spending which is just a mirroe of the Government.

it’s good to be an obstructionist when the legislation they are trying to pass in a hurry is bad legislation. You assume it it good legislation. You are wrong. I doubt if the Liberals acted as obstructionists to Conservative aproved legislation that you would have as much of a problem with obstructionism.

We are the United States, a free democratic republic. We are not a Socialist nation. If that is what you want then move to Europe Mr who cares. Your selection of a blog name says alot about your mental state and capacity.

This is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. There is no such thing as a “democratic republic”…they are polar opposites to each other. It is vital that all Americans who profess to preserve and restore our Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers understand the difference and be able to argue/debate/DEFEND the Constitution!

Other nations have asked the U. S. not to sign this treaty for they know if America is hamstrung just what will happen to them. Obama does not have the best interests of this country in his mind. He hates this country and most of our allies. Remember the bust of Churchhill he sent back to the Brits. Every policy Obama has put in place or tried to put in place is ruining this country and many citizens are realizing this. This is what the November elections were all about. People hoped to put in place means to stop this man before he causes more harm to this country.
The Democratic Party is not the party it used to be. Even John F Kennedy said this country had to remain strong and this treaty weakens us as a country at a time when we need to be stronger than we ever were. This country put an enept man in power who is weak and does not know what he is doing. How does being a community organizer and a two-year Senator who always voted Present, not for or against a bill give him the qualificians to be the leader of the Free World? How does a man who is constantly apologizing for this country think he has the right to bring this country down. This man has borrowed 5 Trillion dollars since he became President. He is worthless as a President and as a man he is a failure. The only thing he has going for him is his ability to read his telepromter and when it malfunctions his is lost. Blacks think he will give them more and will fight the White man. Which might be true remember the New Black Panthers and how they are being protected by Obama’s Justice Department. Remember how he is suing the Arizona State and not protecting our borders? Are we going to have to fight a border war which will be fought by United States civilians and not the Federal Government which is supposed to protect the people of this country.
This man Obama is not the man many American people thought he was and it’s time to wake up and realize this. If not this country is going to do down so far that it will take the next President 4 years just to clean up his mess, let alone to any thing for this counry. It was not Bush who caused the economic problems this country is having but Frannie May and Freddie Mac, a Democratic

you can’t be serious!! Bush/Cheney trampled on the Constitution, plunged the United States into a war of stupidity, causing a massive deficit and losing more that 4,000 of our kids, mean while shipping American jobs to India and China on a wholesale scale. Anyone who was clueless enough to have voted republicans back in congress deserves everything there going to get. History will certainly tell the real story. President Obama would have to be in office 10 years to clean up the repub mess. So far he has done great considering he has to work with bawl bag booner.

You really need to check the facts. The 111th congress put the screws on American economics by continuing the FAILED policies of idiots when the warning was sounded by Bush, McCain, Schiff and others that subprime lending to fools with no ability to put a down payment on a mortgage was ludicrous. Bahnee Fwank said nothing to worry about there! Ha! The proof is on the web, should you care to pursue it. Your zerobama told America that his plan was to disarm America–because he cannot tell another nation what to do and have any achievable means to make that happen–as they laugh in his face as the sheer audacity of his amateur antics. You asked for it, you got it–obama.

yes we got obama, and I thank god everyday. Finally we have a president that has an IQ higher than a dip stick
