- After many decades of also fighting this same war at home in the US by way of the war on illegal drugs, it would be safer, fast and much cheaper to end this war by legalizing the drugs. The worst resistance would come from the drug cartels and the terrorist networks in the Middle-East. Without the illegal drug industry funding the terrorists, this global war on terror would soon end. At the same time for just a few more years (not decades) the United States will still have to continue clearing up the mess by the once illegal drugs, the same way as usual; with tax-payer funded drug rehabs, including heroine or methadone babies and their medical costs etc. Our society needs to get more faith in itself, because in the Middle-East where it is much easier to get heroin than it is to get clean drinking water, they are not a society of drug addicts.
This would also cut off the funded government corruption in the Middle East, Mexico and the United States. In time this will also solve many other problems in our economy especially the cost and availability of health care. The repercussions this would help to create for a few years (not decades) is one of the best examples of why our forefathers emphasized so strongly on the necessity of separation between the church and state. - Reply to this comment
- This begs the question of how much corruption there is
when Ms. Rice has no idea of corrution within the government, that was virtually put into place by her boss. And are Petraeus and Crocker somehow overlooking this corruption? Is this one of the reasons there is no plan for troop pull-out? In one news story recently there were allegations that Petraues was contacting Oil companies regarding oil
contracts on the field 40 miles from Basra. Is this on the orders of the "Commander and Chief"?
Seems Congress neeeds to really start some investigations! - Reply to this comment
- Here''s a good story...wonder how much of those "lost" American dollars went into Chalabi''s pockets? Did he, in fact, act as an agent for "redistribution" of those dollars? And if so, who received the "redistribution"?

- It is about time we start taking care of America and Americans.
Charity begins at home.
We have our own hungry and homeless, jobless.
We need to close all our borders and only buy American made goods. - Reply to this comment
- Got to love CBS. The pictures are from the Afghan Natioanal Army not the Iraqi National Army.

And this changes the facts of corruption how??? - Reply to this comment
- Obama says that rather than advising him on strategy, Wright helps keep his
priorities straight and his moral compass calibrated.
%u201CWhat I value most about Pastor Wright is his day-to-day political
advice,%u201D
Obama said. %u201CHe%u2019s much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am
speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that I%u2019m not
losing
myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress that%u2019s involved in national
politics.%u201D
I suggest that if you have not looked at http://www.savagepolitics.com you
should do so when you have some time to read it. Here is just a small part of
one of their stories:
{JERUSALEM - Sen. Barack Obama%u2019s Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas
that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right
of Israel to exist and compared the terror group%u2019s official charter - which
calls for the murder of Jews - to America%u2019s Declaration of Independence.
The Hamas piece was published on the %u201CPastor%u2019s Page%u201D of the Trinity United
Church of Christ newsletter reserved for Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr.
The revelation follows a recent WND article quoting Israeli security officials
who expressed %u201Cconcern%u201D about Robert Malley, an adviser to Obama who has
advocated negotiations with Hamas and providing international assistance to the
terrorist group. - Reply to this comment
- Trip Rev.Wright (just sound bites) took with Farrahkan:
While visiting that mercurial miscreant Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi,
Farrakhan struck a deal which secured millions of dollars from Libya to lobby
for the secession of part of the United States. The goal is the formation of a
separate black nation on the North American Continent replete with a 500,000 man
army and nuclear weapons. - Reply to this comment
- Interesting that CBS pointed out a connection to the U.S. elections here. Obama''''s buddy Rezko is here......

- They need to pay the US for our military services. And provide free gas for their vehicles. Iraq needs to foot some of the cost. They continue to sell oil for over $100 a barrell, while we protect their oil fields for free.
US is going broke while the Arab countries get richer off our blood. - Reply to this comment
