If y'all have a lot of time to read a 450 page report,

check this out. It has some interesting info: Part 1 is a synopsis and most interesting is pages 8,9,10, and 11. I got as far as Pt. 3 and there is a table of contents on the first few pages to explain everything that is in that part of the report.

"Vol. 1, Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq's WMD."

It can be argued both ways and it is being done so as we speak.  The document does not matter much to me. As I said, the NIE has been wrong before but I see what I see and I hear what I hear and the white house is the only place where rosy scenarios are being played out. It is getting old.

What would I have done to stop al-Qai'da?? I would have gone to Afghanistan with all the support and good will behind me that was available at that time. I would have **stayed the course** there until OBL was found. I would have implemented democratic policies there and hope that they would spread altho I believe the chances of that happening are slim to none. I would never never have gone to Iraq. I would have finished Afghanistan, rebuilt, and come home.  I really believe that democracy does not come through the barrel of a gun and we cannot force democracy on people. I also do not believe that a perceived failure in Iraq will defang al-Qai'da et al.  These are tribal people who have been fighting amongst themselves for 100s of years. It is what they know. That combined with the illiteracy that is prevalent (and I believe that plays a big part in what the people believe - without knowledge how can they formulate ideas and make decisions...they can't). They believe their leaders and follow them.  I think we would have made much more progress had we **stayed the course** in Afghanistan.

anything for yourself, you would find that the sources for the charts I posted are, in fact, on the images.  It's called reading comprehension, studying history, looking at the facts....you know, all that stuff you guys don't like to do.

As for the text, that's all mine.  It came with the education.

East Ohio Gas has been using natural gas to fuel their utility trucks for years - why hasn't that caught on?  Makes ya wonder..............

...but I got me a first cousin lives down there and he can run fast enough to catch me.

Seriously though, elsewhere in Ohio foods to be eaten off premises are not taxable, but the soda in the same carryout order is because it is not considered food.  I actually do have a friend who could not buy tomato juice (an ingredient in the soup she was going to make)  with food stamps. And forget about buying anything carbonated.  According to the USDA when it comes to food stamps, hot food, even take-out, is not eligible, unless by the special exemption that is mentioned in that text in my previous post (from USDA site.)   According to that site, seeds for gardening to produce food are even eligible. 

But this was on another site:

Restricting food stamp participants’ purchases of foods and beverages high in calories, fats, and/or sugars has been proposed as a strategy to combat obesity. In 2004, the State of Minnesota unsuccessfully requested permission from USDA to prohibit the purchase of candy and soft drinks with food stamp benefits. The proposed modification was clearly intended to promote diet quality by limiting purchase of “empty calorie” foods.

So it seems that in some places, food stamps actually ARE considered sort of a birthday present that you can spend any way you wish.  Maybe y'all should move up here where the mooches are less offensive? 

Oh, and sorry about being snappish with you, but I was also annoyed by the Palin remarks.

and you all can't get a liberal talk show to take.  The Air America crowd can't keep themselves from stealing from their network long enough to try to get a quality show off the ground.

If Rush is so wrong then won't you dispute what he says instead of personally attacking him?

If Obama wins, say bye-bye, and that's just the tip of this iceberg.

Remember what happened in New Orleans?  It was outrageous!

upsetting one that I read. The Vets are fighting to keep a cross in memory of all who lost their lives on a piece of property that used to be federal land. It was traded for acreage that the vets owned.

Mike Huckabee has a new show on FNC, too (Sunday, 8 EST).

Fox News Watch is another good show on Saturdays.  foxnews.com

How convenient for it to come out when it did.  Sure expedited the process for the beggars.

could read it, paying attention to pages 8,9,10, and 11 in part 1, then pages 4 and 5 in part 2.

Secondly, it was both the dems and pubs that passed that bailout. Bush suggested a bailout plan but the dems and pubs are the ones who make and pass the bills into law. Bush signed it, yes, but I betcha he didn't read it, just like this stimulus plan of late.

Hyperbole, anyone? Seriously, if the bill itself is 900 pages long, then how could the Republicans have added "thousands of pages of amendments" to it so it wouldn't pass? Unless you're talking Obama Math, of course....
