Ron Paul has been saying we were on the wrong path and eventually we'd pay. So I can't see where you can say he has been "wrong for 30 years."
As for the idea that buying all these distressed assets will make us a guaranteed return of 4-8% --- this is some kind of Republican fantasy. Is...
Why should this surprise anybody? Many posters here on this forum advocate letting their government torture, tap their citizens phones and search their houses without warrants, hold people prisoner without the right of habeas corpus, invade nations on false pretexts, and want to respond with a...
I disagree with practically everything Fern has written, but hidden beneath this sorry reason against withdrawal is a germ of truth. If the result is Iran gaining influence in Iraq, "we'll have screwed the pooch bigtime." For those of you with memories that extend to the first Gulf War this is...

And I, for one, would be surprised if other coalition forces aren't withdrawn soon. Certainly, the pressure is on Blair to wind down the British involvement. As politically unpopular as this war is in...

Now that some of the bugs have been addressed, I am considering ordering this motherboard when it restocks at Newegg. However, the Crucial 1.8 volt memory that everyone says works well in this board is amazingly expensive, especially for such lax timings.
There's 1.9 volt 800 Mhz memory out...
Thanks for saying this. I was about to post it myself.
The irony is that Somalia is now in the hands of AQ and if we are really serious about this policy of preemptive war (not that I favor it, but it does seem to be at the heart of neocon foreign policy) we might be forced to return to...
Ye gads, man. The cuban missile crisis was in 1962. That was 44 years ago. Actually, I am old enough and I do remember it. But the issue then was that Cuba was a military ally of the Soviet Union, our sworn superpower enemy. The "unsinkable aircraft carrier just 90 miles from our shores" as...
I agree with the spirit of this comment, but I suspect the military is carrying out a policy designed elsewhere. The military is not gung-ho for this war -- witness the complaints of retired generals. The news policy is being set by people in Washington, most likely Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush.

Basically, I am posting this because I found it funny. As for the genuine policy issue, I think we'd be nuts to do it.
