“Cheney and his ilk are comic opera villains twirling their mustaches and sneering at the audience. The real bad guys in all this are the MSM, who present these over-the-top statements as legitimate counterpoints to Democratic policies.”

“Taking out various terrorist leaders won't get the job done. It's like killing a cockroach here and there. Thousands more are waiting to take their place.”

“We could stop giving Al Qaeda all the recruiting material they could ask for at very little cost to them. Guantanamo is a big recruiting tool. Iraq lets them send out video. Afghanistan is going so well. They've really won. This nation has become nothing more than a bunch of fraidy cat pants wetters. Mission accomplished. An end to our security and our freedoms. It seemed like we were starting to admit that our reaction to September 11 was not very reasoned. Now the Depends set is howling again. As Franklin said, those who would surrender freedom for security deserve neither.”

“Not entirely true. Terrorist networks may not have the rigid structure of a fortune 500 company, but there are still leaders and underlings and various people with different responsibilities.
Someone has to organize and plan the attacks. Someone has to procure or make the explosives or weapons. Someone has to recruit people to carry out attacks.
While the guy with the bomb strapped to him is very expendable, the people giving the orders and making the plans are not as easily replaced and ki!!ing them can and does disrupt terrorists networks.”

“In my city, the big banks are giving away money (taxpayer money I presume), as much as $100, to get people to move money into their banks. How can you fight that? Personally I've had my money in a community bank for years and I don't intend to switch for even a $100.”

“The big banking cartels are a blight on this Country, I'm moving my money out of my accounts as soon as my local credit union opens. It was closed today. I wouldn't take a 100 bucks from them (maybe a million lol) and if I ponder on doing business with this big private banks I think about how this business invest in corporations that deal with war supplies, they are war mongers of the worst kind.

“No.
Because the way you fight al Qaida is with the cooperation of Islamic (and other) governments and people.
Bush/Cheney were wrong. It is far more like a police action than a military one.
Al Qaida is more like a large international Mafia crew than a nation.
The military are there for back up. But the main job gets done by good police work.”

“I love the snarky-ness of the simple and contrite, logic... It blows reason, discussion, and respectful exchange 'out of the water'. But, in your entire 'boil-it-d own-to-the -simplest- terms' act, did you happen to miss the part about:
"The U.S. has increasingly provided intelligence, surveillance and training to Yemeni forces during the past year, and has provided some firepower, a senior U.S. defense official said recently, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive security issues. Some of that assistance may be through the expanded use of unmanned drones, and the U.S. is providing funding to Yemen for helicopters and other equipment.
The Pentagon recently said it poured nearly $70 million in military aid into Yemen this year – compared with none in 2008."
If you didn't miss that, and just ignored the entire paragraph, or most of the article, then I'd wager a guess that you're just baiting -- in which case, Good Day.”

“Incorrect! Obama is sending troops to prevent a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan which in turn would provide Al Qaeda with a safe haven. Thank Bush for that screwup!
Yemen is NOT a safe haven for Al Qaeda.
Obama's logic is to put troops where they will be most effective,UNLIKE George W. Bush who sent our troops to the WRONG country,Iraq, and FAILED to send troops in to get Bin Laden at Tora Bora.”

Have you thought maybe the grandmother is someone much younger but in disguise?

There is a reason the elderly are big targets for "scams".”

“The medical profession has to shoulder much of the blame. Doctors order tests to head off malpractice suits, to throw a few referrals to cohorts(with possible kickbacks), and to pay off equipment they own and make a huge profit. Check the statistics on where the most expensive health care is, in areas where the doctors' groups own the medical equipment. .... Superior hospitals like May have the lowest average costs because they encourage doctors working with the patients and are paid accordingly. Note the brouhaha over the mammogram study..... ...”
