[NMDemDist2]

4. that may be the size of the security detail for the State Dept, but it sure as hell

isn't the total number

[madokie]

6. we know that but do our senators, they seemed to take it all in

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. he was refering to the ones actively shooting innocent Iraqis.

the rest were off duty, and therefore they don't count.

Think of the gunshot from behind, vs. the gunshot from the front.

[madokie]

one brigade a month.

Welcome to

[madokie]

11. I think Sen Harkin and Sen Dorgan left these goons with something to think abou tonight

when the lights are and and sounds are low. Both of their questioning was designed for that too not for the lies they knew the goons would spout but for the full effect of depth of what is going on

[Bluerthanblue]

14. just wish i could really believe that

could make any true difference.

today its been raining so I have been dog sitting our sons and DIL's pit, he's a sweet dog too. Roxy, our pet, and I pretty much raised him the first 8 or 9 months of his life so he likes to come over here and spend the day. Its to him like it was to us as kids getting to go see gramma for the day, huh

[Tempest]

12. He considers the rest to be mercenaries

There's no other explanation for it.

[madokie]

13. I thought it was against the law to lie to congress

[Bluerthanblue]

23. Yep, that's him

Nicholas, the digital utopian. And John, the blood-soaked authoritarian. I wonder what each thinks of the other.

[madokie]

24. I have two stepsons and they are as different as xp and os10

they can both make it to the same place its just by a totally different route. Sometimes I wonder how it can be

[mvccd1000]

25. Security contractors, or just contractors?

There really aren't that many security contractors, when you compare to the number of truck drivers, mechanics, cooks, base maintenance personnel, etc.
