superlib the mission 6 years ago was in Afghanistan. Bush & Co failed that mission because of their desire to invade Iraq. This failure allowed the Taliban to grow and rearm in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now we have a much more serious problem than we had six years ago.

Superlib because Bush failed to fully pursue the original objective the Taliban has been able to regroup and rearm and gain strength. Six years ago America had the initiative, now the Taliban are gaining strength in two countries (one with real WMDs).
You currently argue that the Taliban should be wiped out
All I am saying is that because Bush failed to do that, Pakistan today is less secure as the murder of 12 children clearly shows.

The Taliban gave comfort to those who planned and executed the terrors on 9-11. Bush & Co were given a wide berth and support in going after them by the international community. Then the CinC of the American forces lost the plot and started another war. The Taliban and Quaida were on the run and America had Pakistan's co-operation, now the Taliban are a threat in two countries and probably more.
12 children may not have died had Bush not ignored his original mission.

One wonders if Bush & Co. had not ignored Afghanistan for their bogus war in Iraq perhaps the Taliban would have been severely hobbled. But instead they were left to fester and now threaten to destabilize a nuclear armed Pakistan.
Absolutely disgusting.

Ah the pulsing of the Bush/Cheney Legacy: more blood, more death, more hatred. Do you stay and bleed more or do you leave and let the others bleed? There no longer remains an honourable end to this war.

A "what" solution to the world's oldest profession and one of its oldest crimes? Would it be better that the vermin prey on people above ground so that those you know and love are victimized? Scrubbing Craigslist will not end this kind of murder, but since a pragmatic solution is not easily at hand (do you have one?) disrupting one avenue of finding victims may save a life or three it worth the effort.

Castro will be dead in a few years but Cuba will remain. It is time for America to look to the future and a new relationship with Cuba. This is not to ignore the painful past, but to reach toward a better future so that those who died can be openly remembered and mourned. Otherwise it will be more of the same until the end of time.
Castro is a mere mortal and will soon turn to dust. What happens then? Civil war? And then another generation of suffering and divided families?

And those who support Obama (i.e. the majority) are non-contributors to society? Wow, there are so few of you to maintain the world's largest economy and military. Keep up the good work!

Indeed it is good news but in the future don't expect the pirates to hold hostages as long as they did in this case. The danger increases for the hostages as the navies start attacking. But there really are not that many alternatives.

Yeah the last day of mourning was preceeded by these words: Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US which were ignored.
What Obama is trying to do is to give the Jihadist recruiters one less reason they can cite for attacking America. It is a defensive move to reduce the influence of the Jihadist rather than the head-in-the-sand policies of the summer of 2001.

Sarge what with your angst over grabbing your ankles? No one is forcing you to do what you don't want to do, so stop moaning about it. But if that is what you really want to do, do it quietly, please.
As for Obama, he is defining what America is fighting and not fighting. So I think it is wise to take religion off the table and focus on the political actions of those actively fighting America. Knowing and identifying your real enemies is critical when going into mortal combat.

And who fed him that BS? Beck? Rush? Hannity? NRA? Friends? Local gun enthusiasts? Local conspiracy gurus?
Will there be charges for aiding and abetting?

The only way for the current economic situation to get worse is if the body count continues to rise and a siege mentality takes hold with workers and bosses becoming suspicious of each other. There is no freedom at either end of a gun.

This from the BBC:
Another man who said he was a friend of Mr Poplawski, Aaron Vire, told the newspaper: "He said he'll be ready if there's ever an invasion of the United States and that he had stockpiled foods and guns for that eventuality."
So who feeds these sad sacks such delusions? Who provides the rationale that makes murder a justifiable act?
Guns don't kill, people kill. So who is aiding and abetting the mind behind the finger that pulls the trigger?

Seems that the shooter is no different than suicide bombers elsewhere. Willing to die for an agenda that involves murdering others. I am beginning to suspect that the mental process that a shooter goes through to justify his actions is similar to a suicide bomber.

When you look at economies of scale then of course gas engine cars are cheaper. But if you factor in the externalities (i.e. pollution and health issues) then these cars are less cost effective.

As concerns grew about the environment and the political cost of foreign oil, GM responded with the Hummer. GM had a hand in their own demise. Besides, why isn't Ford on the brink as well?
