I think here is the guy you blame, his administration created the loop holes that caused the subprime issue.
Greed from banks and morgage houses caused the rest of the problem.
I dont think Bushs policies effected the Sub prime deal at all since it was created before his term. With that said the housing market here in Japan (in the 90s)did the same thing that the states just did.
Bush and congress part in all this was the present state of the economy that has created the fact people cant afford the house payment.

Tit For Tat....
You should of said the stupid humans then you would be even more generalizing then the stupid soldiers.. But hey you must never of served in the military therefore you dont understand the difference of the chain of command, and the fact the site was given to them from a Afghan source which isnt a military personel.
Still as a member of the UN team in Afghanastan we have to check all information as best as we can, civilian loss is something as American military we actually try not to have (unlike the people we are fighting right now, but hey why judge both sides equally)..To date the extremist have killed more Afgahns then the UN team including the US, so maybe we should feel outrage about that...

That is very true, we didnt use that in WW2 and it cost us dearly, but we over stepped our boundries in Iraq, although we should of finished it in the first war with them as it was when the people of Iraq stood up to him and we had the worlds support..

Palin didnt lie thats the simple truth, One of her aides (as a governor) miss spoke , and most likely didnt have the right to speak on her behalf.. Tell me no one has ever said well Sushisake3 told me (sushisake3) did this.... and it wasnt right it was not what really happened?
As an experiment line up 100 people and whisper a secret to the first person, by the end it wont be any where close to what was started, doesnt mean anyone lied it just means they told it different then they actually where told...
Same goes for Obama when he was asked about his religious belief and he mistakenly said his Muslim belief, he didnt really mean it it was just a slip of the tounge right? and he corrected this slip and said christian belief, does this make him a liar as he said one thing and changed it to another?
As far as Obama calling it out, I think that was a grave mistake as it shows they are mis informing people by saying Palin lied when the proof shows she didnt say anything like that.
I still believe all politicians lie and its what turns me away from wanting to vote for any of them.
Latest polls in Minnesota show them dead even at 45/45 this is the first time in many many years a Rep has been any where close to the DEMS in a presidential election poll..
So hopefully the Election comes and all the armchair politicians can go back to arguing about which stupid soccer team tore their shirt off the best when they scored a goal.......

yosun..
Soldiers dont decide where to attack, and since you dont understand that your comments therefore not valid nor proper in this discussion.. You want to get mad at someone please feel free to contact the higher ups that select the target, and give the order for the strike...
If you ever served in the Military you would understand the chain of command and wouldnt have to make statements like you did..
And dont take the veiws of Moderateguy who is with out a doubt just on here to make waves and isnt a real voice to listen too as anything a normal American would say

Tribalism as you call it has always been in hold in Afghanistan, it was the three times Britian tried, the 10 years the Russians tried and still is today when the UN tries.
The fact they killed innocents is a look into how horrid war is, it shouldnt happen but it does in every war or police action any country does. I wish we could find a way to fight a war and not kill those who have nothing to do with it, but as long as we have war (which we always will cause its human nature) we will have innocents getting killed.
Moderateguy2008. It happens and as they dig into the area they will find more dead just like they always do, You make Americans look so dumb when you say things like that we made a misjudgment and it ended bad, its our fault period.. one innocent or 90 it doesnt matter its still our responsibility...

I agree what does this have to do with anything... I think her international knowledge is what matters and at this point in her career it isnt very strong.

I had some written down on this answer but I dont want to get in a tit for a tat on this cause you will say its not an attack its just my opinion, but when you tell others they have something wrong with them because they dont agree with you its an attack on them...... So I say we drop it cause its a waste of band width and I really dont have theat much time to type on a 2nd rate web rag.... With that said
I actually agree with a lot of what you say, but I cant understand why you think if someone does something out of respect it has to be politically charged.. When the VFW fired the 21 gun salute at my fathers grave I didnt ask them if it was because they had to I knew it was to honor his service in the Navy.... Just like I will always believe those two Americans took off the hats of politics and just wanted to show respect for those 3000 people who died that day.. Sorry if you have to put a political spin on it as its your right as an American (if you are one) to do so... I just choose to believe in the spirit of being an American and taking my hat off and holding it on my heart for those who died for no reason.....Just like I do here in Japan when we refresh the graves and such.....

I think both of your points are about the same in likelyness of happening., But it wouldnt make a good point if you said the chance that someone would be able to attack or sabatoge the GW is as likely as the reactor having a breach, both of which have a very small change of happening.
All in all its no different then having the other carriers here, just has a different power plant, by the way when the Russian sub Kioski sp? went down after it exploded the whole front of the sub off of its self, the reactors still didnt leak nor breach, so that kind of shows the ability of the reactors to take a hit and survive..

As I only refered to the polititions as idiots.. I dont know you nor would it change my belief that not everything in the world has to revolve around a political belief if I did, and 9-11 shouldnt be used in politics. Bush was wrong for using it and so is any other person who uses it for political gain.
Ill quote you so you understand why I think you dont get it...
This is history of what happened on a day when too many died for no reason, putting a political spin on it and saying because they dont stop the ads it makes it worst is just wierd and not a way I feel we should honor those who didnt do anything to warrent death....
Enough said on this subject, you have your belief and I have mine, but to quote you" I choose not to indulge in implied threats, personal slurs and innuendos against people who disagree with me " this means you dont read what you right?
Good night
Thats not true you do it almost every post when you dont agree with someone.. sorry but thats just reality

This is a terrible thing to happen, but it isnt the end of the world, when the next president comes in he can wave his wand and get rid of the factions that are fighting by removing the US presence. Anyone remember that Sadamm was in one group and killed allot of the other groups in order to keep the peace? or do you consider what he did ok?..This isnt new its just a continuation of the way they did things before, without Sadamm killing them all for it..
Always good to qoute the extremist radical priest when you want to make a point..... Hes so full of hot air he makes even you look deflated and that isnt easy....

Let me get this straight... its based on the amount of Income a person would make if they stayed alive.. Well America should be in the front since they pay a hell of allot more.. If your making 1 dollar a day in Columbia or your making 100k a year it would take allot of dollar a day guys to equal one 100k a year guy... Thats why they dont list how many in each country...]

Palin-- Well Alaska is right next to Russia and I can see them from my front porch looking down my sight at em.
Obama-- Alaska is what the 58th or is that the 59th state??? No I remember its not a state yet thats why I didnt visit it..
Ohh well they both answer questions well:)
disclaimer.. I wrote these answers based on answers by the original parties, I paraphrased them in a hopefully funny way, they didnt have a talk with each other nor did they say this word for word, but they both answered questions with strange nonsense answers

Really after reading her words I feel she isnt a hockey mom with lipstick on, she is more like every other politician in the world...
Sad they all sound the same after a while/..
Guess thats why I have a hard time wanting to vote for the big two parties in our political landscape..

I dont live in the land OZ or mother grimms fairy tales so your safe.. But here in the real word you have to look at things for what they are and not what you want them to be, You post it doesnt matter what the event is if it doesnt change the pattern, and I say your full of BS cause its not about the two idiots running for election its about the 3000 who died, but you just dont get its not a political thing. They got it and didnt act like typical political dumb a$$es, and that was the point.. The day was far more important then them,...

As far as the McCain and Obama maybe just maybe they are feeling the pain that all of us from America feel when we remember 9-11 and feel they should put it aside and be united as Americans not politicians for a day...

"The patriotic Americands are voting for Obama." As said by a complete idiot
Wow nice to have a Non American tell me an American who served in war and isnt voting for neither of these guys that I am not Patriotic.. Dont you think you should at least live in America before you judge who is or isnt patriotic??
Seems strange that all I hear from you is anti American BS.. GO get a lover or a friend and stop worring about anyone elses country for a while.

I think its very strange this is an argument any more. Iraq wants the US out, cool!!!!
The US will be under a different president (but the same 535 idiots called congress) so after the new president is in (and according to the Dems its Obama, and according to the Reps its McCain) we will have a new policy right? Obama will have all the troops out of Iraq and shipped over to Afgahastan in 16 months(because he cants shut down Americas only economical system thats working (yea war is a economical stimulus)) and McCain will keep fighting until the Iraq army can take over (if that is possible) or until all terroist are killed (thats not possible as being in that region creates a flow of them)... Once America is out they will all go back to hating Israel and killing each other like they have done again and again///...
