		<description>Arguing with them is the same as arguing with your cat. They will scratch, they will hiss, and even on their best days they still, for reasons&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;sohbet&lt;/a&gt; unbeknown to the rest of us, pee on your carpet. Hoekstra et al are racist thugs. They will not understand a document as important at the one reported &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bedava mp3 indir&lt;/a&gt;by the A.P. What this document has said is that for years, words like Jihadists, Islamic Terrorism, Islamic Extremism etc&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dostcafem.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cet&lt;/a&gt; have done nothing but castigate Muslim men and women.</description>

		<description>Until this great country realizes that 9/11 was the cover-up of the century:

our reckless foreign policy will continue, our men and women will continue to die in 2 illegal wars, our economy will continue to tank, our infrastructure will continue to crumble, our tax dollars will continue to pay for the private contractors in Iraq, gas prices will keep soaring, our resources here in America will not be available for another hurricane, earthquake because:
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
WE ARE FIGHTING A PHONY WAR ON TERROR.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; 

The real terrorists hijacked this country 8 years ago.</description>

		<description>There are more important things the White House/Pentagon/American people have to do with tax dollars then help the troops. Look there&#039;s building Disneyland and the Resort in Iraq.  Law Makers need more money to pocket and then it&#039;s the DOJ that wants millions while spending on one dollar on drug crimes while pocketing the rest. I noticed how the blank check is still in effect while the smoke screen is the election.  It&#039;s so easy to see now. The Media will headline race/sexism/Hillary/Obama even a Mother duck at the White House with her kids as a Security Guard saves them all from a Dick Cheney shooting.  Yes not a word about the billions signed by the Congress in free money to the White House or the Criminal Contractors. It&#039;s called while you weren&#039;t watching the country got robbed by the Law Makers.  I wonder how much more Senator Diane Feinstein&#039;s husband got in contracts for her cooperation with the Criminal White House. The only question left is what Law Maker isn&#039;t on the take?</description>

		<description>As a nation, could we rewind back to the end of WWII and start over, knowing what we know now? That means, McCarthy being voted out of the Senate before he started rambling, no Johnson, no Nixon, no Vietnam, no Ford, no Reagan, no Iraq, and no Bush I and &lt;em&gt;II&lt;/em&gt;.</description>

		<description>One must note that the 25% of $29 billion represents compensation. The other side of the coin - medical care can actually be worse. I have a friend who fought in Nam and was injured (Lost all but two joints of one finger and thumb on his right hand.). He receives about 45 grand worth of medical treatment per year because clots from his injuries blocked veins in his heart.</description>

		<description>A small price to pay for the damage this administration has done.  

This does not take into account job placement when they are finished.  (finding a job is going to be so difficult in our current economic climate)

This does not take into consideration all the years they have sacrificed for this unholy war.

This does not take into consideration all the time it will take to heal their mind and bodies.


The government has nothing to complain about, they were not the ones that made a sacrifice.</description>
