		<description>Another way of looking at it would be that Obama is being honest.  Our military was slimmed down with the understanding that private contractors would fill the gaps.  Under current conditions, with the strain as great as it has been and with no change in sight, where do we find another 20-30,000 troops to fill those security roles currently filled by contractors?  By extending tours to 18-20 months, maybe?

Talk is cheap.  So is co-sponsoring election year miracles.

The contractors aren&#039;t going anywhere.  Basic accountability would eliminate most of the problems.</description>

Consider tempering your expectations of the electorate.

These morons elected Bush twice.</description>

		<description>Perhaps people did not read the fine print.  I was talking about both the Reszko story and the &quot;For The Record&quot; on CBS.

Behind the wheel a half hour ago I realized that CBS could air the next &quot;For The Record&quot; on Monday and that it would cover Clinton just in time for the primaries.  Hey, fair &amp; balanced, right?  Clinton fresh in their minds and Obama muddled with Buffy&#039;s Saturday soccer score.

It is possible that I am cynical (no shit, Sherlock) but I know that in some cubical at Time-Warner, Exxon-Mobile or GE some MBA has each of your lives planned out on a nice flow chart.</description>

		<description>Blackwater relationship with InfraGard?
(paramilatary)               (Pinkertons)    
&lt;blockquote&gt;One business owner in the United States tells me that InfraGard members are being advised on how to prepare for a martial law situation -- and what their role might be. He showed me his InfraGard card, with his name and e-mail address on the front, along with the InfraGard logo and its slogan, &quot;Partnership for Protection.&quot; On the back of the card were the emergency numbers that Schneck mentioned.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I will meet you here.

		<description>The Obama stories, I believe, but the trial starts Monday, so it&#039;s kinda  like the Oscars, trial watchers have a Rezko weekend to look forward to, as does Chicago.

The press may not want to touch Obama, for the moment, anyway, but Blagojevich? 

Fair game.

And Blago, and the bamster, are twined.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wonder if I’m being cynical?

Both of these stories were filed on Friday. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
To you, not to people like me, and others, this is the day to get the prime information.

You know, I wouldn&#039;t depend on people like  Kos, say, to run my war, can&#039;t do it, not smart enough.

I also don&#039;t expect the public to go after men like Auchi. 


I do expect the more intelligent people will stay on top of it, and despite the myriad attempts made here to troll, and distract, it&#039;s well, some pretty moldy cheese offered up, isn&#039;t it?

And this goes back to the whole culture of narcissism, and the inability of that group to succeed, to compete.

If the trolls can&#039;t troll this website, how the hell do they succeed, really succeed, internationally?

They don&#039;t.

They lose.

The war isn&#039;t with the public.

It&#039;s very easy to fool a troll, as they reveal their lack of ability to think, and reason, with every post. The republicans may be able to beat the deocrats, but it&#039;s Pelosi, not JFK.

These are not smart men, or women.</description>
