>>Simple! The ICBM's that North Korea has can reach California, and we did not vote for Bush. North Korea is thus not a threat. Baby george has to finish the job that daddy george began.

>Well, kind of. Under George the First, we did have UN backing to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Once that was done the mission was over, regardless of whether Saddam was ousted or not. So George the First played ball under the terms the coalition was built around. Unfortunately, this has come back to bite us, and a lot of this also has to do with the ineptitude or unwillingness of our previous illustrious Prez to do anything. Now George II is stuck with the mess both left behind.

Mark;

They tell us if we were a country economically we would be fifth in the world. Anyone want a 35 billion dollar deficit? How do you resolve a deficit of that amount? Just simply tax each of our 35 million residents $1000. The problem is solved. Better give $2000 per person, as I am sure the State Government will know how to spend it. :)
