Remarking on Scott McClellan’s resignation announcement yesterday, CNN senior correspondent John Roberts — “after acknowledging that he would likely get ‘in trouble in the liberal blogs’ for saying it — said of McClellan: ‘I think that he is a truth-teller.‘”
$72.49: The price of a barrel of crude oil yesterday, setting a record high for the third day in a row. Said one energy analyst, “The market is sizzling!â€
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is passing the buck to President Bush to stop Trent Lott’s $700 million “railroad to nowhere” project. Frist says Bush should threaten to veto the emergency supplemental bill if it contains too much pork.
19,548: The number of Iraqis who have been kidnapped in 2006 alone, including 4,959 women and 2,350 children, according to the report prepared by a group of 125 non-governmental organisations.
Tens of thousands of recipients of the new Medicare prescription drug benefit received letters warning them they could be “kicked out because their premiums have not been paid.†“But many who received the letters in the past few days insist they have already paid, have signed up for automatic Social Security deductions or qualify for free coverage.â€
Genocide update: The Red Cross reports that rampant violence “has made it impossible to reach large areas of the Sudanese region of Darfur.†A spokesman said that Red Cross vehicles are being systematically looted and that “fighting was heavy and confused.â€
Annual war spending in Iraq are set to double since the U.S. invasion, having risen from $48 billion in 2003 to $59 billion in 2004 to $81 billion in 2005 to an anticipated $94 billion in 2006. The administration is now spending nearly $10 billion a month in Iraq and Afghanistan, up from $8.2 billion a year ago.
Conservatives in the United Kingdom see things quite differently than their U.S. counterparts. Conservative Party leader David Cameron writes: “Climate change is one of the biggest threats facing the world and we must have a much greater sense of urgency about tackling it.â€
Though they agree on little else, House Intelligence Committee co-chairs Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) and Jane Harman (D-CA) both fear that National Intelligence Director John Negroponte is creating “just another blanket of bureaucracy, muffling rather than clarifying the dangers lurking in the world.”
Conservation biologist Don Melnick and Wildlife Trust president Mary Pearl send an urgent warning about the dangers to our country’s natural heritage: “Our forests are the heart of our environmental support system. And yet, in the 36 years that have passed since the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, we have lost more than one billion acres of forest, with no end in sight.â€
And finally: Rep. Jo Ann Emerson’s (R-MO) letter to constituent Bill Jones “reads like a typical response to a citizen’s question about last year’s testimony of oil executives before the Senate Commerce Committee.” That is, except for the last sentence: “I think you’re an a**hole.” Emerson says “she can’t explain how the offensive language made it into the letter” but has profusely apologized.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) is passing the buck to President Bush to stop Trent Lott’s $700 million “railroad to nowhere†project. Frist says Bush should threaten to veto the emergency supplemental bill if it contains too much pork.
Makes sense, if the pres. finally uses a veto on overspending it’ll make the true conservatives a little happier with him.

November cannot come soon enough! I just wish I had faith in the American people to vote these out-of-control freaks out of public office… Better to vote with ballots than bullets like our Founding Fathers had to.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:11 am$72.49 !? Must still be that article in the New York Times by Tom Friedman. That guy is very powerful… he writes one article arguing $100/barrel oil would be good because it would force people to take steps to conserve energy and look: record-high oil prices.
Nothing to do with Iraq and Iran or our failed policies in the Mideast. No sir. Nothing to do with the U.S. government being run by former oil industry executives. No sir. Nothing to do with record profits in the oil industry or $400,000,000 retirement packages. No sir. It’s that liberal media…yep.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:12 amYes, things are bad – but they can and will change. What concerns me the most though it how the Republican government is privitizing our commons, our parks, the smithsonian, our roads
Can we get these things back?

We need to educate these people on the history of Easter Island. They didn’t start out as dying Cannibals on a barren island. They made it that way.

How about if it contains ANY?
April 20th, 2006 at 9:24 am#12 What if the pork is to help a national/state park, or to increase funding to help support single moms, or some other such program?

Comment by squegeeboo — April 20, 2006 @ 9:26 am
That’s not pork. It’s use of public funds for public projects, social projects, etc. that benefit society as a whole.
Pork is when it’s use of public funds for projects that benefit special interests.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:40 amTo put up a proper security fence on the Mexican border, with razor wire on top, would cost at least a few billion dollars, because the border is about 2 thousand miles of rough terrain! Also a security road would have to go alongside the fence for military vehicle patrols! The federal government should have done this 20 years ago > would have been cheaper and easier to do!
April 20th, 2006 at 9:45 amInteresting read about the railroad project. It is not going for a state park or other social programs. ON the other hand, I do think that it brings up some good points. Why should the gulf coast not have the opportunity to bring in more revenue by relocating the trian tracks to higher ground and adding casinos along the coast? I don’t think that federal funds should be used for the project.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:46 ampork barrel:A government project or appropriation that yields jobs or other benefits to a specific locale and patronage opportunities to its political representative.
So if you take a bill lets say for highway contruction, and toss in an earmark for 20 mil to your local national park, you just added 20 mil in pork onto the bill.
And odds are with Bush slashing park budgets 20% it might be the only way to keep it fully funded, so it’s even a ‘good’ pork of sorts.
At least thats my take on it.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:47 amAt least thats my take on it.
Comment by squegeeboo — April 20, 2006 @ 9:47 am
Stop using The Rush Limbaugh Dictionary of Political Terms. :)
Pork projects are projects that benefit specific interests. It wouldn’t make sense to call it ‘pork’ based on your definition. It would be called something more fitting.
Don’t you see the disparity?
April 20th, 2006 at 9:54 amOkay Squeegie, I get you. Trying to pull a Republican trick by squeezing pet projects into Bills. Noble, but still under handed. At least your heart is in the right place. I think we’ll make a Progressive out of you yet :)
April 20th, 2006 at 9:56 amInteresting fact about the Mexican border: if as an American you crossed it into Mexico > the Mexican Army would gun you down, or you would be arrested and wind up in a dirty prison cell, so it is weird that millions of illegals can cross it into the United States with only a slight chance of being detained?!
April 20th, 2006 at 9:59 am#20 I see the disparity in our definitions, but something tells me answers.com isn’t part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (Inc)
If you take my definition it fits as pork, just as a good pork. If you take your definition its not pork because its good.
Sounds like a semantic debate which we agree on beyond definitions.
Why not just make it so you can’t earmark at all. Or no earmarks that don’t apply to the actual bill.
April 20th, 2006 at 9:59 amYou east coasters get up to early for us out here in the west…..
Portk….thye all do it. Republicans seem to be a lot bigger at it than democrats were. Funny too, they bill themselves (still) as the party of responsibility and fiscal prudence. Hmmm, when was the last federal budget that didn’t run in the red….during President Clinton’s terms. That should tell you something. Also worth noting that King dumbya has yet to veto ANY bill.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:00 amReminds me of the Enron employees on the phone screaming “Burn baby burn” as brush fires approached main power lines, resulting in higher energy prices.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:05 amI signed up for AARPs Medicare D plan. I have received several letters giving me conflicting information from United HealthCare and the government. I originally signed up to have the premium taken from my social security check. The subsequent letters gave conflicting information. When I called Medicare, they told me to call United HealthCare. When I called United HealthCare, they told me the government would no longer accept premiums being taken out of the social security check. So I signed up to have the premium automatically taken from my bank account. That is in limbo. I have had no response and I don’t know whether I will be covered next month when I need my next medications.
My husband signed up the same as I did and has had no problems.
Before this happened my husband, once president of an insurance company, and I, once an employee of social security, considered social security one of the best government agencies with which we have dealt.
What happened? Oh, yes, Bush.

I guess I don’t think that caring for National Parks should be seen as any kind of ‘pork’, but I will give you this – if you’re going to play the game, you’re at least playing it for the benefit of the country and not the detriment as it is so much more frequently used. Pork is usually bridges and dams and highways.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:08 amGood Morning Unbelievable and all, good posts. Agree with you on the ballots instead of bullets, but like everything in the last 5 years I will continue to hope for the best and prepair for the worst. Have enough food, water and bullets to last me for months if needed.
Decider nut bag is on CNN now with China dignataries. This is a good day to feed the birds and hug some trees…..Had enough crap from this adminastration……A Chineses lady screaming protests during the speech…..Birds of a feather Bush and Hu.
My local paper has shown their true colors as usual, Cheney and Hu’s viset got front page 3 day’s in a row and the war, civil right’s and major issues continue to go on page 3 or 4.
Domestic social needs, I agree are not pork. Saving our country, constitution and people should be the 1st priority, always. Sadly this bunch in office would rather build a bridge to no where, punch new oil wells in prestene areas even though there isn’t suffecient oil to warrent one single well and sell off all parks and wilderness to fill their personal coffers and bank accounts. All the while, this bunch cut vetrans, seniors and childrens benefits. Slash education and all necessary infastructure programs. The logic of this regime is purly big business benifets. Their short sighted arrogant stupidety is beyond belief .Keep up the good work all, I’m off to the work of nature and nurture………….Blessings
April 20th, 2006 at 10:12 amuh oh – “Pork is usually bridges and dams and highways.”
April 20th, 2006 at 10:13 amthink about that one, unbelievable – aren’t bridges and dams and highways a good thing?
i sure think so… i always think of pork as, say, a rainforest thingy in idaho, and some such nonsense…
i should add – i think so, DEPENDING on where those bridges, dams and highways are going…
April 20th, 2006 at 10:16 amBush just got thru speaking at the White House.
“The United states and China are two nations divided by a vast ocean yet connected through a global economy that is creating opportunities for both our people,†Bush said in welcoming Hu to his first visit to the White House as Chinese leader.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that don’t sound like he is going to make any progress in correcting the huge trade between China and the US——any more than he did standing up to Vicente Fox last month in Mexico.
I’m sure Squeezeboy will disagree, but what a total inept, dumbassed dipshit.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:19 amAlso worth noting that King dumbya has yet to veto ANY bill.
Comment by kindness — April 20, 2006 @ 10:00 am
As a comparison, if memory serves, Bush Sr. vetoed around 30 or 32 bills in a row before Congress could muster enough votes to override the first one.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:19 amIf Scottie is really a “truth-teller” that would explain his refusal to say anything when representing the WH. He opened his mouth to defend them, and found himself in the middle of a lie. I wouldn’t say anything after that either… being a truth teller and all.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:20 am19,548: The number of Iraqis who have been kidnapped in 2006 alone, including 4,959 women and 2,350 children, according to the report prepared by a group of 125 non-governmental organisations.
This wouldn’t have happened if we’d been allowed to destroy the Sunni and Ba’thist strongholds and go into that Baghdad ghetto where the criminals rule and clean the place out.
I’ll tell you this; it’s going to be a bloody time in Iraq when the Shi’a majority and the Iraqi army take revenge. That will happen the day after we pull our forces back out of the way and begin to concentrate on Iran. You heard it hear first.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:24 amanother great quote on the daily show last night – john roberts speaking about scotty:
“So you really have to have a pretty steel nerve and pretty thick hide, and eventually everybody just kind of gets tired of the job.
But if that’s where the job listing were to be posted, on [monster.com], they would probably say be willing to take it full in the face every day.”
ooooooohhh man! scotty’s outed!
April 20th, 2006 at 10:25 am#31 I’m sure Squeezeboy will disagree, but what a total inept, dumbassed dipshit.
I do disagree with you calling me those things :(
If, however you meant Bush, what does it say for your side that you couldn’t even beat someone with all of those endearing qualites?
April 20th, 2006 at 10:26 amWonder if Scotty will go to work for Fox now?
On a completely different topic, I urge everyone who can to attend the March for Peace in New York City April 29.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:27 amIt is time millions took to the streets not just to demonstrate for immigration reform but to bring our country back to it’s senses and demand an end to the war.
as much as you people want to admit it, john roberts is right. on certain things, scotty mclellan has been a “truth-teller”. minus the rove/libby statements, and a few inaccuracies on the helen thomas questions, he’s been fairly truthful on certain topics.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:28 amyea irighti, the war in Iraq is going so swimmingly, you and your neo-con knuckledraggers think the right answer is to attack (and make an enemy out of) Iran. You do realize that that would be the stupidest thing the US could ever do don’t you? Oh, yea, I’m sorry. It would be the 3rd stupidest thing. The first & second have to be awarded to idiots like you who voted for bush43 for president TWICE.
Jesus you are an idiot sometimes.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:30 amWhy are women still so often grouped with children when counting defenseless victims? The implication, of course, is doubly-sexist: that women are as helpless and innocent as children, and that kidnapping men is somehow appropriate.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:30 amuh oh – “Pork is usually bridges and dams and highways.â€

Well, if you’re human-centric, I suppose. But, a multi-mullion dollar bridge to serve 400 people in Alaska that wipes out the natural habitat of thousands of animals will NEVER be a good thing in my mind. Nor will dams that destroy wilderness and ruin the egosystem.

Well, considering that…
- Cheney assured an ignorant public that we’d be the recipient of a terrorist attack if Kerry were elected…
- We had an unusual amount of terror warnings around election time (and that former Sec. of Homeland Defense Tom Ridge indicated that the administration raised the alert level over his objections, indicating the evidence was weak)…
- Bush convinced an ignorant public that no one else in America but him could protect us…
- Many Diebold election machines repeatedly registered a vote for Bush when Kerry’s name was selected (where ARE the numerous news stories of Kerry’s name being selected when Bush was chosen??? Hmmm????)…
- Questionable voting issues in Ohio…
- The administration withheld potentially damaging information about its activities from the public to prevent an election loss…
Hmmm…gee, I’d say those “endearing qualities” were way down on the list.

Yeah, I haven’t shot a gun in years, but my father taught me how, just in case. I thought he was paranoid, but perhaps he was actually prescient…
You signing petitions again today? :)

well, it’s a cloudy day here … great for planting … i’ve got some daylilys i’ve been nursing that need to be in the ground … i think i need to go do that – my blood pressure is too high for this early in the morning …later!
April 20th, 2006 at 10:47 am#39 Kindness:”(and make an enemy out of) Iran.”
How are they not our enemy? Don’t they call every other week for destroying us or Israel? Unless you mean the general population, not the leaders, then it makes sense.
“Jesus you are an idiot sometimes.”
Also, please don’t call our lord/savoir names, thats not cool.
#43 Cheney assured an ignorant public that we’d be the recipient of a terrorist attack if Kerry were elected…
And he wasn’t, and we wern’t. Once again, the administration being 100% correct/truthful/honest/wonderful/stupendous/slenderific/etc.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:49 amIf the doughboy McCellen had any principles he would have resigned months ago, after it became evident that the bush/cheney/rove boys rolled him under the bus and sent him out to repeat lies…but no, he just continued to be a door mat for the bush lying team

Why don’t you go Google a tutorial on Logic? ‘Cause what you just said isn’t even remotely close to being anywhere near logical.
April 20th, 2006 at 10:53 amJMS. Good question. My take on your question is only my opinion and you know about opinions. I have one of those and one other as well.
Here goes. Think it has to do with the idea that women and children must be protected for the future of the human race. You know, like they are the first in the life boats,etc. Keep in mind through out history most males have been the warriers and the little woman stays behind caring for the children and keeping the cooking pot boiling. Now in the present world there are women fighters, workers and leaders. Also keeping in mind there have been numerious women terrorists of late, still society and much of the world holds the idea of women as the home front and caring for the children and also as property or slaves as it were while the males are out there doing their war stuff, like pillaging and raping.
In the animal world it is the female lion that does the killing while the king lays around and waits. In our present society it would appear the weak males send out our youth to do battle in the wars they create, both men and women are involved in these battles. I personaly think the people or person who starts the war should be the one out in front. For instance Bush should have been out in the field looking for BenLauden alone……What do I know I’m merely a dreamer………..Blessings

Comment by Sharon Cox — April 20, 2006 @ 10:58 am
I couldn’t agree more (but I’ve watched one too many Braveheart type of movies, I suppose). Though, personally, maybe it should JUST be the leaders in the battle. They are the ones who create the conflicts to begin with.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:03 amYour just mad because I used splenderific before you.
Oh yeah, that’s it. You totally got me on that one. I utterly envy your ability to create inane new vocabulary words.

Personally, I’m waiting for the day a reporter asks Bush why his daughters haven’t enlisted to fight in the war on terror.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:16 amYou too Sharon!
April 20th, 2006 at 11:16 amUnbelievable, Brave heart is a good movie, I own and watch it yearly. Sadly we dont have a Wallace willing to stand up for and with the people for freedom.
What we have is a big business attitude run by a arrogant little dictator. Bush should of been out front then and now. He should be out in an arina with the head guy of Iran if that’s his idea. One on one. The time of phoney male posturing and dictating to other countries must end, it has to be replaced with deplomacy and world fellowship for peace. There must be a return of respect for life and caring for our planet. There should not be favoritism for some countries and not others, nor should we be involved in changing and supporting dictators of other countries. We should be in the business of peace and minding our own business first and formost. I don’t happen to be a huge supporter of Israel over Palestine or any other country. If we spent more time lifting up our own country and then helping others do the same there would be less war. War’s, I believe are caused by one or both of to ideals. The first being greed the second being desperation. If we would stop our agressions on the world for oil and land and help our own and the world out of poverty and dispair the waring would end….I choose peace first……….Blessings all…..

Hearing to vanish Potter set for today
By LAURA DIAMOND
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/20/06
A L’ville mom wants the Gwinnett County school board to make a series of books about a young wizard go poof!
Laura Mallory is asking the board to ban the popular Harry Potter series from all school libraries. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for 2 p.m. today. The hearing is open to the public. Nine people, not including Mallory, signed up by the deadline Tuesday to speak at the hearing, said Sloan Roach, school district spokeswoman.
April 20th, 2006 at 11:47 amMallory, who has three children at JC Magill Elementary, said the Potter books offend her Christian beliefs. Mallory, who said she has not read any of the books in their entirety, said the stories promote witchcraft and encourage interest in the occult.
Sharon,
I wholly agree. Couldn’t have said it better. I just wonder why we have to keep saying it over and over and there are still 36% of the population who don’t see it. What is wrong with people?
April 20th, 2006 at 11:51 am#60
cuz there are alot of st st stutterin’ stooooooopid folks around.
maybe this will explain. ‘no child left behind’. and the fact that we spend $36,000 dollars per person per year for our inmates.
gov. spends $10,000 per student per year for education.
and merely the christians. i’m not gonna hate on those who believe but the majority of christians do NOT practice christianity. and the majority of people still catering to bushyboy are living in the bible belt.
April 20th, 2006 at 12:05 pmI read this quote on Fallwell.com the other day
-I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires-
Susan B. Anthony
Unbelievable – I hope this does not mean you are giving up the profession. Sometimes school districts need to hold these types of meetings just to keep out of lawsuits by the same people who want tort controll!
April 20th, 2006 at 12:09 pm“If we would stop our agressions on the world for oil and land and help our own and the world out of poverty and dispair the waring would end”
Sharon, there was war before the USA, and there will be war after we cease to exist as a nation.
Then again, I tend to be a pessimist.
“There should not be favoritism for some countries and not others”
Also, why shouldn’t we favor our allies/friends over other nations? If we didn’t then they would cease to be our allies/freinds, and become someone elses.
April 20th, 2006 at 12:28 pmHello All,
Why not just make it so you can’t earmark at all. Or no earmarks that don’t apply to the actual bill.
I like that idea the best. They have turned it into a situation where circumventing the system is the norm now. It has to stop so they are accountable for our money. The way it is someone could vote down an environmental bill because it includes 90 Billion for hammers from a specific manufacturer. That rep is considered anti-environment because they voted down on the bill. With all of these earmarks it’s impossible to really track their voting records for what they are.
Just my 2 cents
April 20th, 2006 at 12:32 pmJules,
Excellent quote – because it’s frequently true. I still remember the story from childhood of Mary going to church one morning and during a song, how she could only hear the voices of the truly pious, which equalled a significant minority. I thought it was an appropriate parable for the reality of so many who claim to know what God wants, but do not follow their own supposed knowledge. Partly why I gave up organized religion.
I’d like to leave here, but I recently found out that the school district from which I graduated has started a ‘Career Academy’ in conjunction with a local Technical School and are looking for professionals to teach. I have some contacts, so am going to try to find out more.
I had taken over this class from a teacher who left on emergency maternity leave, and was doing the Alternative Program to certification, which was a nightmare. I’ve decided since to go back to school to get my certification. Long road, but I’ll get there. This is definitely the right career for me. I’m like you. Couldn’t imagine not doing this.
Are you going back to the school where you used to teach or starting at a new one? I bet you’re really looking forward to it.

The 375 projects, totaling $3.4 billion, in this year’s Congressional Pig Book Summary symbolize the most egregious and blatant examples of pork. As in previous years, all of the items in the Congressional Pig Book Summary meet at least one of CAGW’s seven criteria, but most satisfy at least two:
* Requested by only one chamber of Congress;
April 20th, 2006 at 12:51 pm* Not specifically authorized;
* Not competitively awarded;
* Not requested by the President;
* Greatly exceeds the President’s budget request or the previous year’s funding;
* Not the subject of congressional hearings; or
* Serves only a local or special interest.
I do disagree with you calling me those things :(
If, however you meant Bush, what does it say for your side that you couldn’t even beat someone with all of those endearing qualites?
Comment by squegeeboo
Now Squeeze, I was certainly not calling you a dumbass. That honor belongs to junior. As for “my side” how do you know what that is? I mean, me being almost as big of a dipstick as Bush Senior’s little squirt. But my one claim to having any quality is that my IQ is somewhat higher than squirt’s 91.
By the way, wouldn’t it be great if the Republicans could get someone elected with an IQ above 100? The last one was Reagan, and the intelligence level has been dropping every every since. (Except for Clinton’s, of course). All of which just goes to show you how really inept the braindead sheeple were who voted for junior’s reelection.

The $72.49 price of a barrel of oil is not a “record high” when you adjust for inflation.
The price for a barrel of oil in Decemeber 1979 in inflation adjusted 2005 dollars was $97.50. ($38/bbl in 1979 greenbacks).
We still have a ways to go to top it; but it still hurts!

Kerry: “I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free-fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50-caliber machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search-and-destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions. . .â€
1. Kerry is either a war criminal, or started/based his political career on a lie, eather way he stained the honor of the US military, and the entire Nation through association.
April 20th, 2006 at 1:42 pm2. I feel Kerry would have cut and run from Iraq. This would have been seen by the international community as the US retreating, and could lead to horrible political consequences further down the line because we are seen as not having the muscle to back up our politics, which I feel is a necissaty when dealing with non-democracies.
3. Even larger increases in social spending.
Squeegie… Where’d you getthat quote? I’d like to read it in context.
So, you’re saying that a drug addict who drove drunk, dodged serving his country in Vietnam, and ran 3 companies into bankruptcy is a better choice for guiding a war than a young man who probably followed order in a war he could have dodged? Really.
Sometimes I think it should be required that the President of the United States has served in the military. If he’s going to be Commander in Chief, he should understand teh ramifications of battle. Bush did not, does not, and that makes him far more dangerous than someone who did, even if he has regrets about it.
Kerry wouldn’t be threatening to bomb Iran. You think that is less safe. Interesting.
April 20th, 2006 at 1:49 pm#83
Had Kerry been elected in ‘04 and had even considered invading Iran under the same circumstances we now face, you can be assured that the House would have already started impeachment hearings. Hell, by now Gore would have been long gone had he won in 2000 and invaded Iraq had he used the same intelligence that Bush used. The Repubs would have been all over him for manipulating evidence and falsifying information.

There’s something to be said for having a civilian at the highest level, not that past military people havnt been good presidents, and that past civilians havn’t been F ups, and vice-versa.

Don’t like to slam vets in general, Tundra would beat me to within an inch of my life, but a man of integrity wouldn’t commit war crimes regardless of if he was ordered to or not. But it does show a dedication to his country that Bush did not display in his formative years.

What’s your take on the policy for gays in the military?
That’s a tough one.
I would say that they should be kept out of combat arms much like women (For a different reason though)
My argument for women not in combat arms is hygene (Hmmm this toic becomes popular). It is not uncommon for Infantry units to spend 3 or 4 weeks in the field without a shower (Even during training periods). Current military doctrine requires females a shower every 3 days. Either that policy has to go or everyone in her unit should come back in every 3 days for a shower (Train as you fight?). Bringing everyone back limits the distance we can have troops from shower facilities, the logistics involved and handicaps the effectiveness of the unit.
As far as homosexuals go, There are alot of open barracks instances (Training areas etc that are huge bays with cots). Open showers etc. Putting someone that is openly gay into that situation can’t be good. Also for the soldiers that have 20 minutes to get clean, fed and out the door again to be told they have to shower with an openly gay man (It wouldn’t be a choice it would be a requirement to get clean). Most other units types have already integrated women and men, adjusting a little for homosexuals shouldn’t be too tough (Opinion noted again)

Yes it is. And you’re the one who keeps bring it up ;)

So what do they do now, as there are women in combat. Without being graphic – aren’t there alternative ways to get clean?

So the problem is cultural. That we as a society are so homophobic that in the best interest of those who are gay, we must keep it a secret. So much for the most intelligent species… Humans are the only ones who hate everything to their own detriment.

So what do they do now, as there are women in combat. Without being graphic – aren’t there alternative ways to get clean?
There are women in combat support roles. Those positions typically are based out of a forward base. They go back and fill up a truck with ammo, fuel etc and can slide a shower in when available (The men do as well). Combat arms may be several Clicks from the nearest “Held” position and unable to leave that position for a long period of time. The support personal bring in ammo/food/water/religious and medical support (Everything a soldier needs to keep fighting) Those supplies etc have to come from a controlled position (Which has showers etc).
So the problem is cultural.
I wouldn’t advocate making a woman shower with men. On the same token I won’t advocate making a heterosexual man shower with an openly gay man.
that in the best interest of those who are gay,
I go for the best interest of everyone (Everyone means everyone in the U.S who deserves to have the most effective military possible). I have a couple of friends who are gay, a gay uncle etc. The ones I know are great people, however I do not shower with them and live in the same room for very long periods of time. Military combat arms (And I would guess Navy subs and ships) is not like saying you are sharing an office with a homosexual, it’s not like saying you have a homosexual on your baseball team. Can they do the job? I’m sure of it. Have there been soldiers in combat arms that were gay? Yes. Is it worth it, strictly for the purpose of being politically correct to make other people around them feel like they have to cover up more, check out who is in the shower room before they go in, rush out of the shower because someone came in or have to live around someone that is afraid to go into the shower and ends up stinking up the place? Not to me (But that’s my opinion).
April 20th, 2006 at 4:29 pmThere are women in combat support roles.
But none actually in combat? What about Jessica.. I forgot her last name who was captured in Iraq and had to be rescued? She wasn’t combat?
I wouldn’t advocate making a woman shower with men.
Agreed. That’s just a recipe for danger… But I guess I meant cultural in terms of gays being threatening to straight men. I’m not threatened by gay women. And I see that as a cultural barrier.
Not to me (But that’s my opinion).

Yeah Jessica Lynch was not in combat, she was with a transportation company. The battle lines in Iraq are a poor example of my point. I am by no means saying that support roles are any less dangerous, just that they have the ability to get to an operating base more often than the frontline soldiers do. They don’t send women to do building clearing operations, tankers etc.
April 20th, 2006 at 5:09 pm#109 “I am by no means saying that support roles are any less dangerous”

“Just an off the cuff question – Is the glass half full or half empty?”
If it’s wine its overflowing. Because it should only be filled to just under half.
If its liquer, its only about 1/4 full, assuming a standard 8ounce glass got anything in it because the bar probably stuffed it with ice and only gave you 2 fingers worth.
If its beer its time to order anouther.
So really it all depends on how your looking at the glass, and what its holding.

And I suppose that is all Bush’s fault? I wonder, are we blaming the UN for every crime that is happening in Kosovo? Sudan? Ivory Coast?
It sucks that this stuff is happening, but this is something the Iraqis have got to figure out for themselves. The road to freedom and democracy isn’t an easy one – it wasn’t for the United States either.
