Social Security is still in surplus; one needs only to lift the cap on earned wages, while keeping a limit on the payout to wealthy retireees at the other end. Of course, everything is all based upon Americans still being able to remain employed -- something coporate America with the aid of Bush&Co don't give a rat's a$$ about.

Reports were that Mailiki was getting his @ss handed to him, so this is probably a way for the tough talking maliki to call off his disastrous campaign while saving face.

This strikes me as a deeply bad idea. Our military should be used to defend the interests of the United States. It should not be loaned as a weapon to any foreign power, let alone as a weapon to be used in a civil war. If I were in Congress I would demand some answers about who exactly is authorizing the use of force in Basra and who is targeting these air strikes.

The poor Iraqi people are paying the price along with our over-stretched military and the massive debt is dragging down our economy, so soon all American working people will pay a heavy price as well.
