3/19    I'm really worried about the economic impact of the war.  Bush still
        hasn't given us concrete numbers of how much this all costs.  I've
        heard $100 billion tossed around.  Where the hell is that going to
        come from?  social security?  Medicare?  Cutting foreign aid?
        Printing more money?  After the last gulf war there was a brief
        rally in the stock market and we plunged deeper into recession after
        that.  I think the same will happen again.
        \_ Not to mention that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia ended footing much of
           the bill for the last Persian Gulf excursion. In other words, we
           never actually saw the whole cost last time. We're on our own this
           time, monetarily.
           \_ What do you mean "saw the whole cost".  We made money last
              time.
              \_ I've already bought a few blocks of halliburton and others.
        \_ After all this time I can't believe that you are still in the
           dark on this. Its all about the OIL! He's going to take all of
           Iraq's oil and sell it and use the money to pay off the national
           debt and give all his zionist-fat-cat-worker rich cronies a huge
           tax break so that they can all buy new Escalades and drive over
           the poor workers-of-the-world who are trying to unite in order to
           form a more perfect commune.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ Isn't this what Obama said he'd do?
           \_ No, but why let facts get in the way.
           \_ Obama or Osama? Are we really supposed to belive that Obama said

         "My point is that a President Obama will have a good, strong
        dialogue-oriented relationship with Russia, where these kinds of
        situations would not occur."
        \_ Red-flavor or blue-flavor?

2/8     American Woman in Saudi Arabia receives reality check
        http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,329605,00.html
        \_ some things to notice:
           1) this is from fox news.  What do you think their angle is?
              \_ Your fox paranoia is amusing. It's not the only outlet
                 reporting it.
