    The way I see it ????
    Veterans are doing it no different than lots of others in your country, they are just trying to live.
    A start ???
    Stop giving massive aid to other countries. What ??? Is the USA some world Santa Claus ???
    They talk about the billions and billions given to other countries by the USA, when we all know that if the situation were reversed, you would receive sweet Fanny Adams from other countries.
    And then they talk about cutting down the veterans pensions, veterans who have given their very blood to their country.
    Don't make no sense to me.
    I think your country needs a bloody good clean out, and I wouldn't be starting with veterans.....no....go higher up the ladder, that's where you'll find the abuse, waste and fraud.

    Now we have Palins's thoughts on Obama's reaction, or lack of it, to the
    unrest in Egypt. Read her comments, they're better than the funny pages.

    Her second speech is all over the place? I quit listening to it.

    Sarah has bought up a good point. Who will be ruling Egypt? Any Ideas?

    What are the chances Ms. Palin can name "those other countries" in the Middle East that she is worried about? What are the chances she can point to Egypt on a map - without coaching?

    Would slim to none cover it?

    What Ms. Palin does not seem to understand is that it is not the role of the United States government to install rulers in foreign sovereign nations.

    The Egyptian people will decide who will lead their country. As I understand it they want someone to lead - not to rule.

    Is that why we are fighting in Iraq,& Afghanistan? Our country has been either fighting or shelling out money & weapons for decades to our favorite rulers/dictators. It would be nice if we had people who want to lead & not rule in our own country.

    Its a two sided sword. It keeps us fighting amongst ourselves and keeps the hate alive for Sarah Palin. Its a win win for the Libs.

    I could not begin to answer why we are fighting in Iraq especially. Some Freudian complex I believe.

    I hope this time we will recognize the difference between being lead and being ruled and make the right choice.

    Being led, following by choice.

    Being ruled, being forced to follow.

    Any questions?
