How $87 Billion Could Buy Some Real Security

[Chapita]

People should think about this for a moment! The city folks bailing out of town would tear up our watermellon patches!

[dead]

Both of those wars have already been lost

Well, at least he let us know whose side he’s on right up front.

[Dead Corpse]

I noticed that. What a mental midget.

HAND WRINGER!

The sarcastic remark at the end saying if Haliburton got the job it might be done, tells us that this guy is just another whiner. Why dont water companies have generated power , it isnt as though they cant afford it by raising the rate . Generators arent that expensive. No this guy wnats the Gubmint to do it. Typical liberal. Dont raise the rates and have the water company take care of the problem ,raise taxes and have the taxpayers do it.

I'm not sure about the prescription but this is a good article about how the war in Iraq did not make anyone 'safer', and part of that determination is reached through considering the squandering of treasure used to build a welfare state the Democracts can be proud of in Iraq.

In the past several months, I have experienced two major electrical power blackouts… where I live, the loss of electricity shut down the water purification and pumping systems. In both places, as my water pressure dropped...

The purpose of the federal government is to make sure this whiner is not ever inconvenienced.

Buy emergency bottled water, you whinging wuss bag. It'll set you back a buck or two.

[Defiant]

All the people named Lind I have ever heard of were traitors.

[dead]

but this is a good article about how the war in Iraq did not make anyone 'safer'

You have exceedingly low standards if you consider this sad little whine a "good article."

[dighton]

Please show a little respect. Lind just got his eleventh star from Shadow President Gary Hart.

[richardtavor]

"In the past several months, I have experienced two major electrical power blackouts"--I suspect that he has experienced many more blackouts than 2; mainly drug related or alcohol related.

Both of those wars have already been lost, and no amount of money will change their outcomes.

Eeyore: My tail will probably just come off anyway.

Just let them attack us, at least we'll have a drink of water before we die!

[Dead Corpse]

Let's not give druggies and whino's a bad rap by associating them with this goober.

[Poohbah]

Let's not give goobers a bad rap by associating them with this...um...ah, hell, insults fail me right now...ahem...gobshite.

[JohnGalt]

I hear you; everything Lind writes is completely self-serving but he has cache and landed with Paul Weyrich's outfit so I am just happy someone is using their 300 words to point out the obvious: nation building is a complete waste of money.


I rank him just slightly ahead of the Weekly Standard, Michael Ledeen or Daniel Pipes, and Hard Copy, which is to say pretty low.

Tell it to Japan and Germany.

[JohnGalt]

Welfare state paper shufflers in Japan and Germany are very thankful for 'nation building.'

[dead]

So were the next three generations of Americans who didn't have to return to fight those nations again.

[general_re]

Nice reasoning. "Germany and Japan don't look like I, JohnGalt, think they should, so therefore it's a failure."

"Both of those wars have already been lost"

So we lost Afghanistan and Iraq, huh? No need to read further.
