The military is going to pay? Oh good, glad I don't have to.

Why doesn't the campaign pay? Why should I?

Bush's fault.

Women and children affected most.

This astounds me. Why would one of Pres Bush's entourage planes be carrying Michael Moore?

I think this is just New Mexico's way of getting a nice new and strong runway --- it was obviously a run-down poor quality runway to begin with --- but the money they're demanding will get them a very nice one now.

The president's superb performance caused many skidmarks this week, mostly among Democrats.

The timing is suspicious.

Only the wealthy will benefit from this repair.

Should we do this on our own without the support of the UN?

Why would a runway be damaged by a plane "backing up" on it?

Why does a plane weigh more when it's backing up?

I want to know how much fuel they used to back up 2500 feet using thrust reversers. Thrust reversers don't really give very much reverse thrust at all.

I think the thrust-reversers melted the asphalt.

LOL! Now we know what was in the C-17. MM and 30 tons of donuts.

I'm guessing it had something to do with an asphalt runway and the heat from the thrusters.
