Oh good. We are paying them over there so we don't have to pay them over here.

Does anyone else think that the current Republican regime isn't quite up to the task of protecting America? At this point, I wouldn't trust a Republican to walk my dog.

interesting

I am not surprised by this. Our government has a history of supporting dictators and murderers when it is in our interest to do so. Doesn’t anyone remember that at one time we were supportive of Saddam Hussein when it was in our interest to do so? Doesn't anyone remember when we supported Manuel Noriega when it was in our interest to do so? Some more integrity would be nice, but it all appears to depend on whether or not the bottom line is profitable for us and expediency.

Wow, makes me feel real good, knowing our country wants to protect us this much!

What's the big deal!!! We got a VP who when he was CEO for Haliburton had a subsidiary open an office in the British Cayman Islands to circumvent the US embargo against Saddam. If we can have a VP do that, what the big deal about this guy.

And let's look at the Carlyle Group. They sell to both sides and have investors all over the world. And GW on the board. Bush Sr was a paid consultant. This is how the Bin Ladens and the Bush family became friends.

Have we had any planes flying in to US airspace illegally with arab kamikaze pilots killing mass numbers of American citizens here recently? Nope, have not had any dirty bombs exploding in LAX, MIA or LAX.....no bilogical terror happened since 9-11. Still sleeping in my bed safely at night knowing in my heart that obviously someone is doing their job right! This is just another liberal media gimmick to get liberal democratic voters feathers ruffled and to start spouting off obscenity's at the Bush Administration and conservative Republicans as a whole. Thank you ABC,CNN and CNBC for yet another biased one-sided article. I only take what you all write with a grain of salt. Now to go back to Fox News....i can only take so much of you all.

So what? In war you sometimes have very strange bedfellows. Who do you want to get the arms in, FedEx? This is a guy that has experiance doing what he does and he does it very well.

If he doesn't do it, someone else will. It's a revolving door.

The republican party is corrupt to the very core. Specifically, this administration, to which they cling, is nothing short of the FIRST US coup d'état since we stole this place from the natives.

I wouldn't trust any politician to clean my toilet.

bobby stickers-I agree about the Republicans but unfortunately for the USA the Democrats are also incapable of it either. Neither party has anyone who can be called a leader. They are all just politicians.

This Republican administration knows exactly what its doing, (from Rumsfield to Cheney to Bush to Rove). The insiders are making millions for themselves and their families without a care to us 'less fortunate folks'. Unfortunately we can't depend on the Democrats to clean up the mess as I fear they almost as unethical and morally corrupt. Otherwise Polosi and others in leadership would be calling for impeachment NOW.

and you would trust a liberal democrat, bobby stickers??

They won't even prosecute those in OUR country currently breaking the law (ILLEGAL immigrants)

I'm not saying the current situation in Iraq is ideal, but I doubt the dems could do any better.

Bobby, If you would let any politican walk your dog you just don't think much of your dog.

"I'm not saying the current situation in Iraq is ideal, but I doubt the dems could do any better."

I don't remember any Democrats manufactoring evidence to lie us into a war? Maybe you are right, an occupation of Iraq was bound to end in failure, but doesn't that just mean that a competent administration would have kept us out? After all, it is not as if they were any kind of a threat.

"and you would trust a liberal democrat, bobby stickers??"

I tend to trust trustworthy people and not trust untrustworthy people, so I guess the answer is yes.

This kind of sums up the difference between Liberals and Conservatives. Liberals look at all the Republican politicians going to jail and being indicted and say "see the Republicans are corrupt". Conservatives look at all the Republican politicians going to jail and being indicted and say "see they are all corrupt". They then go on to complain about hispanics, mexicans, illegal immigrants, and one of the Clintons (depending upon who is in the news).

I say, let us go with the facts. Even one accepts the premise that the process of dedicating oneself to public service makes one corrupt, it is hard to argue with the facts that the amount of corruption among Democrats is a tiny, tiny, fraction of the corruption among Republicans. What is the current figure, about a hundred corrupt Republicans for each corrupt Democrat? That is not just a statistical anomoly.

Yep, pretty addictive Kool-aid, huh, becca?

I'm going to start watching Fox News as soon as Tony Snow, the master of tall tales, returns to the network. Fox has a way of portraying and spinning all the dirt uncovered in this Administration in a positive and optimistic light. Rather than criticize and hammer away at Mr. Bush at every opportunity, we should adopt the fairly tale illusionary world of Fox News and praise and worship the Commander in Chief.

Yes, we all know plenty about Victor Bout. It's one more reason why we have been shaking our heads in disgust for the past six years.

Why has RICO not been applied to the Bush Regime? Obviously because the entire US Government is corrupt and needs to be replaced.

But it stays in place because central bankster gangsters control all of the western political world through fiat myth-money.

Is the Osama BL the same guy who was reported dying in a Mid East hospital of kidney failure, by the cia, who then nipped over to a cave in Afghan and shut down the half trillion dollar US air defenses with his laptop, so his incompetents wouldnt NOT be intercepted. Anybody talking bout Osama BL today in th is context be a govt misinformer..
