		<description>2005&lt;blockquote&gt;A senior US official in Baghdad said yesterday: &quot;It has always been a main plank of our exit strategy to withdraw from the urban areas as and when Iraqi forces are trained up and able to take the strain. It is much better for all concerned that Iraqis police themselves.&quot;

Under the plan, for which the official said there was no &quot;hard-and-fast&quot; deadline, US troops would gradually concentrate inside four heavily fortified air bases, from where they would provide &quot;logistical support and quick reaction capability where necessary to Iraqis&quot;. The bases would be situated in the north, south, west and centre of the country.

He said the pace of the &quot;troop consolidation&quot; would be dictated by the level of the insurgency and the progress of Iraq&#039;s fledgling security structures.

A report in yesterday&#039;s Washington Post said the new bases would be constructed around existing airfields to ensure supply lines and troop mobility. It named the four probable locations as: Tallil in the south; Al Asad in the west; Balad in the centre and either Irbil or Qayyarah in the north. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>#26  Abner,

Thanks.  Research already &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; subsidized by the government.  NIH grants do research to find what kinds of things work and the information (paid for by taxpayers) is supposed to be available to everyone who can then look for substances that can make the things that work.  True, there&#039;s more research involved that the pharmaceuticals have to pay for, but they can always reduce how much they spend on advedrtising, free samples to doctors, and packaging of the products.  (My job involves having products packaged and I can tell you that the packaging for drugs is unnecessarily expensive and wasteful.)</description>

I totally agree that health care should not be allowed to be for profit. It is absolutely immoral to reap vast profits on the suffering of others. I understand that it costs a lot for medical school and for drug and medical research, but it seems to me that these things should be subsidized by the government - just take some from the defense budget - it&#039;s over-bloated anyway...</description>

		<description>#9, Marge N. Overa - I absolutely agree.  Doctors are getting sucked into this unfairly.  Of course there are bad apples, but by and large the small practices that most of us frequent the most often are not milking the system.  Some people may argue that salaries are too high for doctors, but I disagree.  Doctors must endure a VERY long time on low wages and massive student loans to get where they are, so they deserve it.  However, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s all insurance companies.  You have to look at some of the very large hospital corporations, medical equipment manufacturing, and drug companies too.  The largest companies are the ones with the lobbiests and they are the ones milking the system for everything its worth, while passing the blame onto things like &quot;frivilous lawsuits&quot; and whatnot.  Don&#039;t be fooled about tort reform!!!  Some may think its frivilous now, but when they get the wrong arm amputated, you KNOW they will want the ability to sue the hospital out the butt, and as well they should!  What are the chances of you needing to file a law suit for LEGIMATE malpractice versus the chance you&#039;ll be a CEO of a large medical corporation?  You do the math.</description>

		<description>The Fitzgerald versus Star fiscal responsibility example is just a microcosm of the government as a whole and truly shows WHICH PARTY is more fiscally responsible.  Repubs need to stop running on the &quot;saving you money&quot; platform -- it&#039;s just not true!  Democrats need to run on that ideal more, I think.  A lot of the public doesn&#039;t care about the moral high ground, but if you bring their pocketbooks into the equation WATCH OUT!  So sad... But so true...</description>

		<description>Wayne the only one to &quot;end&quot; up on American soil is Noriega because WE brought him here.  And remember Musharraf said that AFTER he was offered the Air Forces version of the first stage of urban renewal. The demolition part. And they had planned on a complete renewal of the whole country if Musharraf is accurate.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Not inside Pakistan, from a CIA funded hit squad. Saddam, Diem, Allende, Noriega, all had diplomatic immunity until we decided they no longer needed it.

Ah, but did we try to take them on American soil, where they would be protected by our own laws (which, in theory, apply to everyone)?

But I see your point.  :)</description>
