It would be rolled back into the defense budget.

As for the drones, they're clealy a double-edged sword. Yes, we're killing a lot of bad guys. But, are we not also creating at least as many more with the collateral damage? I'm also very concerned about destabilizing an already unstable (not to mention nuclear rich) regime.Will "take no prisoners" Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315659209094683602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-90227242614003043302010-05-17T06:27:16.120-07:002010-05-17T06:27:16.120-07:00S.

Now I know: educating the medical community~! <br />There are several significant points attended to in your short conversation. I've agreed all along we need to OUT of Afghanistan. More than ever with $ it's going to cost to begin to deal with the Gulf ocean disaster. What triggers my mind right now are two distinctions that are soon to be very politically polarizing: PRE Obama and POST Obama... because not much seems to happening in OBAMA time... well, not much that I think is HOPEY CHANGEY... but I'm upset and tired of it like Beach... crying over edge of destruction and infuriated over the President stepping into it too late with too little. Yeah, I expect us to elect someone who will fuck the compromising and step in with a clean blade and get it bloody in the beheading of all this laissez faire political 'reality'. <br />but i digress...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419040049480437384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-42997767866117150552010-05-14T12:22:04.867-07:002010-05-14T12:22:04.867-07:00I was against the drone attacks....before I was fo...I was against the drone attacks....before I was for 'em....and now I'm against them again.

Gets steadily worse there too. The Pakistanis seem to hate us more and more, and it's totally understandable.The drones are all based in Pakistan. Some are launched and controlled all the way from Nellis AFB in Nevada, but to the Pakistani and Afghani people it makes it somehow worse that the drones are launched from their own territory.Osohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513535195785731541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-24554788053465330562010-05-12T09:49:59.223-07:002010-05-12T09:49:59.223-07:00Thx to Fearguth at Bildungblog, for the use of his...Thx to Fearguth at <a href="http://bildungblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Bildungblog</a>, for the use of his graphic.Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.com
