I believe the Afghanistan comment is correct. It is also true that Iraq has the billions in its pocket. Iraq President Malicki has said he wants a timetable for the U.S. to leave, probably so they can spend those billions putting their mark on the rebuilding we've done there.
I would just like to know why we do not protect our own borders. Could it be because we don't respect anyone else's? The Administration condemns those who come into Iraq to fight but they have no problem with people crossing our borders illegally.
Biden might be having kool-aid with his nanny or gardener who in a debate he said those who come here illegally do those jobs for us. I don't know of one family that can afford either of those.

America back. I am not going to try to sway your vote one way or another, just make an informed vote.our politicians have failed us terribly I think thy should all be fired.

whatwhenwhyhow,

The money that cost us every month goes to both wars. Yes, you're correct he wants a time table, but not what Obama wants. Did you realized when we invaded Iraq, Al Qaeda flooded Iraq to fight us? Do you realize that 90% of the fighting there are not against Iraqis? I know it's hard to understand what's going on there. You're only source is the Media and they're about 95% wrong. Also have you noticed it's been about 2 years that you don't see an embedded reporter with the Soldiers. Why is that? Because this Media wants us to lose and they feed you CRAP to sway public opinion. You can say I'm wrong, I was there 05-06, when the Surge was getting ready to kick off.

Nope... Blue Ridge actually... While Helen is really not all that far up the road.. its just bloody crowded for me.. But then again, its really starting to get that way here now as well. All the "flat0landers" moving up here from Atlanta and Cobb Country, mostly due to both the schools being a hellva lot better and much lower taxes...
Shouldnt complain through... Getting ready to move to Charleston SC as soon as they are finished with all the renovations... Bought there bout 5 months back...in Ion... While the house is only like 3 years old, there were a lot of things I wanted done to get it the way I want.. This will be THE LAST move I will ever make... and this one is "my dream house"... LOL

I heard Joe say he was for white coal energy exploration.

bye-byeMI, don't know why you were in Iraq when the surge was getting ready to kick off but am glad you are back safely.
First, the money that it cost each month going to both wars? What is the percentage split inclusive of all the mercenaries, tribal sects, etc. that our government pays. Experts on the Middle East went on record before the war as saying that it would result in a civil war but they weren't listened to. If you watched 60 minutes today you would've heard from a commander in Delta Force who said someone higher up than him turned down their plan to capture Bin Laden. There was a lot more to the story but I don't want to get into a sidebar on it if you didn't watch it since I'm not certain who you believe and what your roll in Iraq was or is.
Our source is not just the media but also our government who it has been proven has manipulated us from the start.
I am not an Obama or McCain supporter and feel this election is again about the better of two bad choices.
Lose? Win? What exactly do those terms mean in Iraq? Isn't that just a label our government puts on war?

White coal or clean coal? That would be in contrast to the dirty coal utilized in China. I thought I heard clean vs. dirty coal.

You're correct, Kmestis. You did make reference to "clean" coal. The same term was used during the 2nd debate between Senators Obama and McCain.

Did you know that according to the Bureau of Labor statistics, mining and the health care industry are growing more than any other profession?

My future brother-in-law works for a company in Marysville, Ohio; one that is working to mass produce hydrogen fuel cells for cars. He figures it's about 8 years off before they can be made safe enough for use in cars. Unfortunately, his company wants him to go to Japan to market the cells. I'm asking: Why not in America? Why aren't the Big 3 interested?

StooltimeCounseling:

That is awesome about what your future brother in law is doing!
The only thing that comes out of the tail pipe is water vapor.
Honda already has their FCX fuel cell vehicle in limited production. Have you seen it on their web site? There are a few people driving it in Southern California. It's great looking too.
Hmm, why aren't the Big 3 interested? That my friend is the million dollar question. Does your future brother in law have any idea about that?
