And hell. . if we do go bankrupt. .I hear Canada and Norway are nice places to live. .
exactly, this is what they are not telling their people. They could be fucked sooner than you all know it.Quote:

this is painfully obvious to people like you and me, but eh some people seem to think weve got patience, manpower and funding to last us through another couple of wars..
of course the color-coding terror scheme doesnt help
its like "honey, we've got to pay an extra thousands in taxes for defense funds this year, but we better do it before the terrorists throw dirty bombs in our mercedes"

As for the Iranis, the aren't stupid enough to invade Israel. Instead, they supply Hezbollah and have them do it for them, from a distance. The Israelis have the same technology that we have, because we give it to them. This, is why Mahmoud is pursuing nuclear technology. He's trying to level the playing field so he can level the Israelis to get the Holy Land back.

There isn't anything that we can do about it, honestly. Aside from a revolution and another civil war. Bush didn't get elected twice. . yet he's the president. He's basically came out and said already that he's a dictator, with him being 'the decider' and all.
I really hate our leadership.
you are the citizens of the country. Stand up and fight!Quote:
