Must be nice to have Big Brother to the south taking care of the military spending. I have a GREAT idea........how about if Canada picks up the slack for once in 200 years and invests into defense?
As for Iraq.......as we discussed before, the Vultures really shouldn't complain about what the wolf killed.
Have a good one!:s4:
Clinton and the hoard of Dems did what???Quote:

BTW, in WW2 Canada had one of the most powerful navies in the world, so "200 years" isn't really applicable. And right now Harper (our prime minister) is increasing our military size and equipment, keeping us in Afghanistan to help with the war America launched (which I agree with), and the current government is reviving the Canadian aerospace industry to produce fighter jets and other military aircraft.
this stupid excuse for a motherfucking war is not worth the economic disparity that this country is going to be in for who knows how many years from now...I had been curious as to what the real figure of our national debt was...this is simply outrageous...
Maybe rather than this stupid fucking war we could spend $80 million dollars a day putting the lesser wealthy young men and women through college..they say the reason we can't have socialized medicine is due to a lack of doctors...why is there a lack of doctors? Because just as many that are able to afford medical school, if not more...have the same abilities, yet a lack of financial ability to go put themselves through school...
I come from a middle class family, we're not rich, nor are we poor. I'm in my third year at a vocational technology center for computer and networking classes. I'm relying on this free education to acquire skills I will use in the future in the workforce. Go to college and get a piece of paper that can get me a better job is a great idea, except the fact that I don't have $120 to transfer every credit hour to a college..It'd be nice if the government would care more about getting me through college than some foreigner in the desert through school...
I'm quite very intelligent when it comes to computers and networking, and this year I'm learning about network defense...I'd love to go to college, I could get such a higher paying job if I did so, but the government's too focused blowing money out of politicians asses than to maybe put me through college for free..
wow, bush has pretty much outspiked his daddy from the national debt during his reign of terror(in the middle east)what happened there anyhow? I'm quite very unfamiliar with it..whatever we did then though, didn't make them like us any more..they definitely hate us quite a bit more I think...Quote:

According to polls, Gen. Petraeus had a favorable rating of over 60%. Nice spin from Moveon.org though.Quote:

but the majority of americans will be saying that if we were going to 'win' it would've happened within the past four years...Quote:

Once this shit continues on, and a draft is inititated, myself as well as several of my friends/buddies are going to abandon this so called 'land of the free'
because in the 'land of the free' we shouldn't eventually be forced to fight in something we absolutely do not believe in..simply because our idiotic president has gotten too many of our soldiers killed
And I feel bad for the few individuals I know in the Oklahoma National Guard who were hoping to merely assist in this state when their help was needed, who now are being shipped to the desert..
