I wouldn't buy a burger or a used car from Bush.
President Bush proposed a three-trillion-dollar budget Monday that Democrats claim spends fifty billion dollars on the Pentagon but cuts funding for heating oil subsidies. That's just wrong. If the Pentagon budget isn't an oil subsidy then what is? - Argus Hamilton, comedian

CIA Water Cronyism
CIA officers operating in northern Iraq bought drinking water from a bottling plant there for years prior to the 2003 invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein...That changed soon afterward. A CIA officer handling logistics for the Middle East and other regions recommended that an American company provide water and other supplies, according to former government officials.
"Who in their right mind would send 360 tons of cash into a war zone? But that is exactly what our government did." -- Henry Waxman, Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee

Fuzzy Math Epidemic
Veterans groups and Sen. Barack Obama say
government officials are obscuring the actual number of wounded in the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars by leaving out of some public documents troops who suffer
non-combat injuries...the number of wounded in the wars often circulated
publicly is around 23,000...That number only accounts for those wounded in
combat. When troops from those wars who were wounded in other ways are counted,
the number more than doubles, to about 53,000.

Hi Lisa,
I think you hit the nail on the head more than you know in suggesting
that Bush get those guys to rebuild New Orleans. The things that I've
read say that in Dubai they bring in workers from India and Pakistan to
do their building, and take their passports so they can't leave.
Others are never paid for their work. So, it seems like something Bush would
be interested in.
Gary
Gary, don't be giving Bush any ideas!
Dubai has built a palm island and the USA has left New Orleans to rot. Are we still #1?
