    I am not sure about this dialysis methodology, as I am not into health sector, I think generators could run up the machine if necessary, correct me if I am wrong

    I find US only eager to lunch on to the resources they get, look at the mess they created in Iraq, it was in much better shape under the rule of Saddam, they neither found any "Nukes" nor any serious damage weapons in Iraq, they just wanted to bounce on the oil, may be its their greed , that's causing the BP prob - for those who ain't atheist may be god punishing the bad at least a little :p

    It just makes me wonder if the US have captured all the resources why they are in economical crisis!? It might be propaganda and Yes war on Iraq was not a wise decision. It was Bush doctrine and now they have recently changed that! ;)

    Bush doctrine allows us to hold state sponsors of terror responsible for acts of terror originating from their state. It hasn't changed at all with Obama. Neither has our the patriot act, allowing us to spy on our own citizens. Looking at it, Obama is what Bush might be like if he had only one testicle. I think Liberals are embarrassed by just how liberal Bush actually was.

    Our amazing tracking abilities seems to vary by department. If there's an instance of Mad Cow, within a couple of days the USDA can track down the single cow that caused it to a small farm in Iowa. OTOH, the Immigration Dept can't tell you where to find a foreign national that got off a plane this morning and the military cant find a tall yellow guy in a field of average sized brown guys.

    We do have options... we could either put the guys at the USDA in charge of tracking people instead of animals, or else sponsor an initiative called "Give a Terrorist a Cow". Maybe then we could find 'em.

    On the bright side... if we're ever attacked by militant Shia Herefords, we got it covered.

    All wars are fought over living area (land, redraw borders) and access to the resources on that land. So we certainly did not go into Afghanistan just to get Osama. Terrorism is merely what sold the public on the war.

    So true, but only for Bush. When Bush went into Afghanistan, he and his rich cronies were obviously there to exploit the people and resources, and only used Al Queda as an excuse. When Obama dramatically escalated the war in Afghanistan, it was actually about eliminating Al Queda and nothing else. The same is true for Iraq. When Bush invaded and occupied, it was only for oil. When Obama followed the Bush exit strategy, he averted the plundering of oil resources Bush had secretly planned but failed to execute.

    actually for Iraq there is a different story as well circulating on grounds, it seems Saddam planned an attack on previous US- prez - G.Bush (sr) - will Bush's dad, but failed to execute so this nasty son wanted to get revenge some how, its the same reason he is said to be after Saddam, look at the way Saddam was killed, it was barbarism at its best.
    I strongly believe G.W.Bush had a hand in Saddam's barbaric death, he deserved the boot kick

    So true. Hanging is barbaric. States like New Hampshire and Washington who still use it today to enforce the death penalty should have their governors brought up on war crimes charges! Of course it would be a little difficult to connect the Iraqi judges who convicted and sentenced Saddam directly to Bush, but I'm sure evidence existed at one point. We should just refabricate it. How can one justify the killing of a humanitarian like Saddam?

    I'm just glad to see Obama's radical change from Bush's foreign policy by ramping up the war in Afghanistan (Because this time it really is "just", not like the previous 7 years). Of course he is following Bush's exit strategy from Iraq to the letter, but I have no doubt that Bush had secretly planned to plunder Iraq, so at least that was averted. Whew!!!

    I didn't say Saddam was humanitarian but look at the way he was killed, with out a mask on his head before hanging, its really barbarism at its best
    usually when a person is hanged, a black colored cloth is put on the face, but look at this , I am pretty much confident Bush's hand in it and the way it was tele-casted on tv was really shocking

    Let me ask you something.

    Did he put mask over people faces he killed?
    No, he looked in their eye and pulled the trigger.

    So sorry if I won't loose my sleep over how mad dog has been killed.

    :rolleyes:

    I thought the US just liked to Crusade against Muslims wherever they are. I didn't realize there was profit potential. I guess its just a bonus.

    It's more about profit, money and wealth than religion. US did not invade Iraq & Afghanistan to convert Muslims; in fact, they did more harm to Christians in Iraq with Churches being burned by extremists.

    Means US intelligence is not good as USDA personals? We always hear about their tracking abilities they can even find a dead person. They should get help from USDA to track Osama bin Laden.

    Well, we like a professional military, but we're *really* serious about a good steak. Matter of priorities.
