you are wronggggg
YOU DO NOT LIKE THE USA IN THE MIDDLE EAST
BLAME THE DEMONIC-RATS
THE DEMONIC-RAT DOCTRINE
On February 16, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said the "the defense of Saudi Arabia is vital to the defense of the United States." On February 14, 1945, while returning from the Yalta Conference, Roosevelt met with King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia on the Great Bitter Lake in the Suez Canal, the first time a U.S. president had visited the Persian Gulf region.
The Carter Doctrine was a policy proclaimed by President of the United States Jimmy Carter in his State of the Union Address on 23 January 1980, which stated that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its national interests in the Persian Gulf region. The doctrine was a response to the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union, and was intended to deter the Soviet Union%u2014the Cold War adversary of the United States%u2014from seeking hegemony in the Persian Gulf. After stating that Soviet troops in Afghanistan posed "a grave threat to the free movement of Middle East oil," Carter proclaimed:
Let our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.

- With a little more stress relief, we may not need Health Care reform.

BAM BAM OBAMA 45,298 vs BIG MAC McCAIN 67,399
"Paris Effect" still being studied by both campaigns.
McCain''s http://www.BOP-O-METER.com tops 67,000 BOPS!
Obama''s http://www.BOP-O-METER.com tops 45,000 BOPS!
After a furious BOP FEST that went into the wee hours of Sunday morning, Obama jumps out with the fewest BOPS to close out the first full week at http://www.BOP-O-RAMA.com.
This reporter has not seen the like of this contest since "The Rumble in the Jungle," the great heavyweight fight between George Forman and Muhammad Ali. This with the Olympic''s is making for a rip roaring political season just before the big shows at the conventions.
Who will do a better job mobilizing there base in this instantly updated BOP POLL? Clearly the grass roots effect is working for the Obama campaign.
And what if any are these frenzied results of the first week part of the ever growing "PINK EFFECT!" The result of what is looking like a strong possible third party run by Paris!!!!!!
Well this reporter is signing off to get a cup of morning joe! If yesterday was any indication, this Sunday, August 10, 2008, could prove to be a BOPPING long day!

- The only way our industries are going to be able to compete against foreign competitors is to ensure that they don''t have to carry the burden of health care. With stagnant wages and ever increasing health costs, the average working man can''t carry the burden. This means universal health care is a must. As for quality, look at where the USA is in life expectancy, baby deaths, etc. We aren''t doing well with our present system.

Will it be as much as Two Wars?
When it comes to war, Republicans are all for it.
When it comes to helping people..they always are worried about the cost. - Reply to this comment

- Medicare''s going broke. It''s in much worse shape than Social Security. It''s like going to cost us trillions and we''ve got to keep that. We have to pay for the elderly so people younger than 65 should be on their own and what congress needs to do is figure out why it''s costing so dammm much for healthcare. It''s becoming bigger than big oil.

- WellHell3: Well that''s a commendable belief, but unfortunately one that is not shared by a lot of your peers. The GOP has long wanted to get rid gov''t run health programs, social security (or at least entrust it to Wall Street), and even the Dept. of Education. Do your research and don''t take my word for it.

- WellHell3: Then you should take a look at the conservative platform, which essentially wants to privatize everything.
