That is hilarious that you would call this thread a "diversion". Just because a thread is not about Iraq, it doesn't make the thread a "diversion".

If anything, the constant talk about Iraq is a diversion. You want everyone to focus on Iraq so that they won't focus on how good the economy is. Unempoloyment is incredibly low right now. The Dow is at an all-time high. I guess things aren't so bad.
Rupert,
Now I finally get it!
This thread wasn't about Braswell at all!
It was about "how good the economy is"...for the top few.
And "unemployment is incredibly low right now"...if you want to work for Walmart or McDonalds..or other minimum wage (not raised in years) job.
The Dow? Geesh. If you know anything about the market, the Dow isn't the marker. Watch for the Decemer or January crash when China starts calling in their debt.
"Things aren't so bad"???
Tell me the current deficit and which countries fund it.
Define "victory" in Iraq and a sensible exit strategy.
Also explain how the US is "winning" the war on terror while we continue to create more terrorists.
Also, I'd like to know your thoughts about Afghanistan and whether the current agricultural crop that is up 60% will help win the "war on drugs", and if the Taliban is back in control of most of the country.
Where is Osama bi Laden?

Enough questions from me. You might need to do a search on your beloved Drudge Reports, or ask the commander of the spacecraft that is trying to hitch a ride behind the comet.
Watch out for the cool aid. Rumor has it that Jim Jones mixes a nasty ****tail.
But if you want to drink up, far be it from me to stop you.
