U.S. general: New Afghan strategy needed
The shoot first, ask questions later tactic didn't work, did it. The enormous number of civilian casualties caused by Americans turned the Afghans against the whole campaign. I remember a year or two ago when an American convoy was attacked by Taliban American soldiers shot at civilians nearby killing large number of them, they probably didn't know that a news reporter was there and he brought the news to our attention. This was published here and most of you were posting in defence of US soldiers with excuses like this happend in heat of battle etc. But I am sure that this was not the only such ''mistake''. I am sure that many more civilians were killed by Americans than by Taliban. So do not ask your selfs why do they hate us. (Aug 31, 2009 | post #4)

Five Iranian diplomats, taken hostage in Iraq, released
US army has 10.000-11.000 prisoners in Iraq behind bars without anny trial or anything + few Guantanamos all over the world. Also US blindly supports Israel who has few 1000 Arabs in their prisons without trial. But that does not stop US to portait itself as a bringer of light to dark places, the world strongest democratic force, No.1, if you want. I would say in many cases US is the bringer of darkness.

House, Senate pass Obama-friendly budget plans
Reports reflect a nationwide epidemic of MR SA in the US — one that has significantly increased over the past seven years. A 2007 report in Emerging Infectious Diseases, a publication of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, estimated that the number of MRSA infections treated in hospitals doubled nationwide, from approximately 127,000 in 1999 to 278,000 in 2005, while at the same time deaths increased from 11,000 to more than 17,000.[2] (Apr 5, 2009 | post #97)
US graft adds to Mexico's woes
History and relevant proofs of CIA drug trafficking: Guatemala: In 1986, Senator John Kerry and Senator Christopher Dodd proposed a series of hearings at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding charges of Contra involvement in drug trafficking; the hearings were conducted by Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, the Republican Chairman of the Committee. The report of the Committee, released on April 13, 1989, found that "Contra drug links included... payments to drug traffickers by the U.S. State Department of funds authorized by the Congress for humanitarian assistance to the Contras, in some cases after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies." The U.S. State Department paid over $806,000 to known drug traffickers to carry humanitarian assistance to the Contras. Venezuela: In November 1993, Judge Robert C. Bonner, the former head of the DEA, appeared on 60 Minutes and alleged that the CIA had permitted a ton of cocaine to enter the United States.[8] The New York Times reported: “ The CIA - over the objections of the Drug Enforcement Administration, a branch of the Justice Department - approved the shipment of at least one ton of nearly pure cocaine to Miami International Airport as a way of gathering information about the Colombian drug cartels. But the cocaine ended up on the street because of "poor judgment and management on the part of several CIA officers," the intelligence agency said.[9] ” In November 1996 a Miami jury indicted former Venezuelan anti-narcotics chief and CIA asset, General Ramon Guillen Davila, who "led a CIA counter-narcotics program that put a ton of cocaine on U.S. streets in 1990."

US graft adds to Mexico's woes
Afghanistan is an outlaw nation. HEHEHEHE Only in America. Something is certain: When US came to Afghanistan the production of opium went up from 5% of the world production to 95% of the world production. From nothing in 2001 the production of opium went to 8.200 metric tons of opium in 2007. Now the heroin is cheap and available in Europe. Those are the facts. You can check anywhere.

US graft adds to Mexico's woes
Drug trafficking of CIA is no secret. Its a big bussines for them. Read the McCoy's book The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia about their dealings with Heroin in Asia during Vietnam war. Now their main bussines is in Afghanistan. Since the Taliban left the power. The oppium production skyrocketed and this heroin ends in our streets, so stop the motherF+++s from Langley and you will put an end to many of your and ours drug problems (Mar 31, 2009 | post #89)
Wall Street surges; Nasdaq ends up 3.8%
But a thing I would like to discuss with you is urgency of the bailout. Belive me I read a lot about this but did not find any good reason for urgency, specialy not from the Obamas or before the Bush administration. And just BTW Merkel, the German prime minister just today before the G20 said that we are not in the crisis because of lack of money, the money was in circulation in huge amounts already before. So maybe the pouring of the bailout money into Economy is not the answer. I have to agree with her on this, specialy for the USA, because Bernanke had already poured the money into the economy before the crisis hit, also the interest rates were very low. His words were that he will throw the money from choppers, if this helps the consumption. (Mar 29, 2009 | post #45)

I think there is a missunderstanding here. Nobody wants you to adopt the EU economy, I certanly do not want you to give up the dollar etc. The simple point was that I see the giving large amounts of money to the people who brought us here without setting the regulations first as a mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. (Mar 29, 2009 | post #44)
Wall Street surges; Nasdaq ends up 3.8%
I must say that our country adopted euro not so long ago and in this crisis it turned very good for us. The Euro seems very well managed by the Europes central bank. The rest of the countries which do not have the Euro are in trouble now. You can see that in Iceland where the Economy crashed toghether with their curency, also in trouble the EU countries which did not manage to adopt the Euro in time like Hungary etc. In Europe there was some bailouts in 2008. The biggest one was the Hypo bank in Germany with $69 billion, but this stopped. Also in UK bailout money means that the goverment gets preference shares in the bank-nationalizati on. There are few banks already in UK which are owned 100% by the state. (Mar 29, 2009 | post #39)
