		<description>Where is the crack cocaine business on this list ??

The &quot;connected&quot; people bring it up from South America     through &quot;friendly&quot; governments and onto Military basses ??

When the planes are caught with tons of coke...The people just skate away. The owners of the planes aren&#039;t arrested! See http://www.madcowprod.com/12212007.html

After the stuff is safe in the U.S. it is made into crack and sold at local schools to enliven the students.

It&#039;s better than Ritalin for concentrating the young minds.

The only trouble is that its not schoolwerk that is on their minds...its getting MORE MONEY, coke $ SEX that smoking crack focuses..  


Is Bush &amp; the Government in bed with CIA Cocaine smugglers? 

What can Obama DO about CIA coke smugglers????????????????</description>

Liberalism is Polluting the minds of americans with thoughts that defense contractor and other private business are benefit from the lives of young men and women, like capitalism will destroy us all because the rich will get richer and the poor poorer but what about government, i think they are more evil than private, we as americans are supposed to lean on government to redistribute the wealth( obama’s plan) which is effectively socialism, so yes this is definitely and political , GOD forbide we ever think about something and tell others about it
*************************************************************

Thomas, I agree with you to a point, YES, the corruption is in the government, No, we don&#039;t mind profiting under ETHICAL &amp; MORAL conditions, unfortunately it is not happening like that nor w/i our govt., especially, Diane Feinstein. For a Senator of our government who is profiting from war, we have a definite problem. How can we depend on those lawmakers to make a JUST decision on war if they are profiting from it? 

As for your comment about socialism, &quot;...redistribute the wealth( obama’s plan) which is effectively socialism&quot;, I&#039;ll take that distribution any day, you see for years under Regan to Bush #41 &amp; #43 the socialistic view of &quot;trickle down effect&quot; as it was put to us, has been for the wealthy and well connected (because we aint seen it trickle down yet), we the people have received ONLY the burden of paying for this to occur and keep the money at the TOP we get stuck with the bill for the corruption using TAX PAYER money, ya know, atrocities against the American people.

EXAMPLE: The present economic crises = no regulations, no oversight via Dick Cheney/G Bush. Unemployment = tax breaks to corporations removing American jobs and going overseas, very POOR trading policies such as NAFTA and this Colombia trade treaty that will not go through, amongst others = Exploitation of other countries SLAVE/worker policies=child workers,low wages, no benefits to pay, no environmental laws to deal with, no unions to haggle with = PURE PROFITS,CEO &amp; executive bonuses/perks&amp; etc...

So, Thomas when you try and propagate GOP points, we know you don&#039;t know what your talking about and your too blind to see the reality of the situation because chances are your fixated on the FOX network for jokes passed as information &amp; news.</description>

		<description>Bush Administration, INCOMPETENCE!

Except Dick Cheney, Heir Karl Rove, Tom Delay, and Newt Gingrich, very competent to destroy this country and pull the right strings on Georgy Boy.

There is  BUSH a history to that name it has roots all the way to Prescott ( the American traitor), G.H.W. Bush, same as his daddy, G.W.Bush, same as his daddy, and Jeb Bush same as his daddy and Americans keep voting these bums in?

Got what we deserved, DEATH, WAR, WAR CRIMES, FRAUD, SCANDAL, CORRUPTION, GREED, LIES, DECEIT, MANIPULATIONS,  MURDER, DESTRUCTION of our CONSTITUTION, TRUE CRONYISM, ...ETC...

Impeachment, nah, the Democrats Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi , Barny Frank and H. Waxman, Diane Feinstein, PHONIES!! They are a corrupt bunch themselves so how can they stand up fighting the good fight on behalf of the American people? Some have even PROFITED from the war against Iraq, Senators profiting from war, not a CRIME!

Two infected wings of the same bird and we expect a healthy bird to fly?
Like a dog with mange, untreated it just spreads, like a LEGAL MOB?

So, the Bush legacy continues and so does the corruption of our government ELECTED officials, WE THE PEOPLE KNOWINGLY elect the same SLIME and expect a different result, they call that INSANITY!

Does America care what is happening, we&#039;ll find out in the 2010 election of seating the same OLD Senators or a new bunch with strict ENFORCED ETHICS laws!</description>

		<description>I was named as the &quot;Headhunter for the Private Military Industry&quot; in The Military Times approx: June 2004.  I worked with CB, DynCorp, BW offered to buy my company and I was given the Exclusive Contract for Recruiting all positions by another large PMF that thought they had to have me on board to compete with the others for a DOS Contract.  After they used my name, my company name and my reputation as one of the top recruiters in the Domestic Executive Security Industry in their DOS Rebid they began breeching every part of the Contract I had insisted on before I moved my Company across State Lines into their Facility.  Within 6 months they unilaterally canceled all parts of my Contract except for the DOS $700M Contract they had named me in as their answer to any problems in recruiting the vast number of qualified operators necessary to compete with BW, DynCorp &amp; others.  When I asked them to negotiate they hired away my employees, stole my proprietary database info, and started a Character Assasination Campaign that ruined me in my Profession of 25 years.  Now it is apparent from their CEO&#039;s Depo that they had conspired to defraud me from the get go and never intended to honor the Contract.  I have sent hundreds overseas and so many have been defrauded and abused because some PMF&#039;s believe they are above the Law.  These ruthless Merc Companies need to be exposed for how flagrantly they not only abuse the indigenous populations but just as ruthlessly the Operators who find out the hardway that these guys are drunk with power and corruption and the Government has turned a blind eye.  American Heroes and their Families who have been lied to, defrauded and damaged in so many ways deserve to have some sort of Legal Aid Fund and Legal Counsel as to how they can hold these amoral Mercs accountable.  The Private Military Industry is one of the fastest growing Economic Sectors in the World and the War could not have been prosecuted without them.  But its about time they were regulated and held accountable in our American Justice System.</description>

		<description>&quot;Jim says he ‘doesn’t mind profiteering,’ ?? I wonder, did he actually mean war profiteering or merely turning a profit.&quot;

Fredo, I meant profiteering in general.  The problem I have is that our congress is more influenced by corporate interests and that&#039;s led us to create policies (both foreign and domestic) that are so far off from the constitution and bill of rights that&#039;s it&#039;s just downright scary.

&quot;Now perhaps you’d like to edify us ‘neo-communists’ with a summary of our last 100 wars, what they were fought for and what exactly qualifies any of the last 100 as a ‘just war’ - a war of self defense?!?! OR maybe you’d prefer just the most recent 10?&quot;

Just wanted to bring up a point here in that we have also developed a disturbing trend with these &quot;pre-emptive&quot; wars of late.  We&#039;ve opened a Pandora&#039;s Box with that line
 and creates a whole litany of issues, the least of which is how we determine the scale of threat and where do we draw the line?  And the way congress has given up their powers of declaring war over and over again, it just depends on what the Executive Branch feels like doing based on the input they are given.
