Quoting: WulNo, quite far from unimportant, simply a measure of the criminal nature of the current regime. Not just lost down the memory hole, bound, gagged and stuffed there by court orders. It's beautiful if you can get away with it and apparently they can. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 449552 United Kingdom 06/10/2008 06:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | High time the activities of companies like Halliburton, Carlyle and BAE were looked into in the UK also. Surprising where their names crop up. They seem to have got MoD UK firmly by the short and curlies, as far as I can see, with the MoD's procurement people running around like headless chickens buying totally inappropriate equipment. I can't see Panorama looking into that...... |

Quoting: WulNo, I think its just adding to the frustration because nothing can be done about it right now. The next election is looking less like an election for "change" than "payback". Republicans are dropping like flies in the special elections going on right now. I really believe the Republican party will disintegrate into a fringe right wing party of little significance in the future. |

I think we would all prefer it if he went back to Scotland, where he belongs. We English certainly don't want him down our end. Or, come to think of it, any of his countrymen who seem to have squirmed their way into his government. |

Quoting: WulBrown and Labour (his party) are suffering terribly, i expect them to be ousted soon. And Scotland is trying to break free, a move Brown is desperate to prevent because he comes from and his seat in parliament is in Scotland. |

gooderboy User ID: 84351 United States 06/10/2008 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... golly, lol, and here I thought that that was just pretty much common knowledge... and... just sorta being sloughed off kinda like the Partiot Act was, has been, and is still. Ya thinks maybe it's about time for to send them politicians their pink slips, and telling them that while we really do appreciate, and thank ya very much, all of their self-interested efforts at representing 'our will', we no longer require their services. ... lol, or not. |

Serrah75 User ID: 312733 United States 06/10/2008 08:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think the closest we will ever come to being safe again is when they stop their ridiculous campaign to remove ALL guns from the general public. It's been the highlight of several documentaries on the topic that criminals, the garden variety and the elites, HATE going into areas that are populated with a largely pro self-protection population. As for the war profiteering, any have turned a blind eye, some are too dumbed down, and the rest run around ranting about it, but never have the balls to see what needs to be done to change our 'elected' officials deth grip on our throats, wallets, and liberties. |

It didn't happen because the Dims are just as corruptable, and certainly no smarter. I fear for my country. |
