The same thing that Target is apparently smoking: Subject: Target Stores

Vietnam Veterans Association
By Dick Forrey

We asked our local Target store to be a sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event. We received back a reply from Target management that "veterans do not meet our area of giving." We only donate to the areas of the arts, social actions, gay and lesbian causes and education.

My thought: If the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general, do not meet their donation criteria, something is wrong at Target.

We were not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, but simply sponsorship of an endorsement for a "memorial remembrance."

As follow-up, I emailed the corporate headquarters and their response was the same. Personally, I will NOT be purchasing anything at Target Stores again. If the Vietnam Veteran or Veterans in general do not meet their area of giving, then why should I, as a Vietnam veteran, spend my hard earned money in their stores?

Please pass this on to as many people as you know.

Sincerely,
Veterans Helping Veterans

PS: Target will also not allow the Marines to collect for Toys For Tots during the holidays.

Was that "uninspections" or UN inspections? What's UN? The UN-American UN? Or maybe he means automotive inspections?

The little idiot is hell bend to achieve two aims.

1) Remain relevant during the transformation of the middle east.

2) Get his hands on the Iraqi petrodollars.

What, is Kofi the "eveready bunny" of inspections? Can't he go back to his own country and try to "solve" one of the many problems there... Oh yeah, they sent him to the UN because he's an incompetent bureaucrat.

We will need the UN to act as human mine sweepers for us after the war. So clearly, they do have role...

Kofi

The UN had its chance and was found wanting. Our troops will be fine at discovering WMD after Iraq is conquered. So tell Hans to stay in Sweden; he is no longer needed just as the UN is no longer needed.

That's not all he said: "The UN will soon return to Iraq and administer humanitarian aid and continue handling the oil-for-food program." I hope that they are not allowed back and that we will do the job required. We no longer have to kowtow to those UNidiots and I hope the Prez will resist any aid or interference in Iraq from the UN, including France, Germany and especially Russia, the latter even now are said to be supplying weapons to the Iraqis.

Maybe we should bomb the UN when we are finsihed with Iraq. The UN has been the biggest part of this problem from the start by protecting murdering dictators and terrorists.
