The Borgen Project states that according to the Millennium Development Goals there are elements in place to combat world hunger. The deficit in the funding is over $19 billion. Perhaps if some of the funds from the war on terror were used to fight global poverty lives could be saved cannibalizing the American troops.

More like "Stink tank." What a bunch of armchair idiots. You can imagine these guys wearing helmets, sitting around an oversized table littered with plastic soldiers on a map of Iraq, moving them around the the sounds of explosions they make with their lips. I'll bet just like the Decider and his ass-raping robot, Dickless Cheney, most of them had "more important things to do" than serve their country during wartime. “Think tank,” my ass.

Comment by RUCerious — July 25, 2007 @ 1:43 pm This is actually a mis-statement as there are two fields - one at Camp David and the other at the Bush "Ranch" in Crawford.
