    The problem with socialism is that you eventually,
    run out of other people’s money.

    Thanks for sharing that. This seems similar to what we did in Afghanistan, where we allied with the various warlords of the "Northern Alliance," handing out briefcases of cash and weapons, and was highly successful.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.

    Interesting, the reporter in that video, Michael Ware, actually HECKLED Senators McCain and Graham at a Baghdad press conference today. This would seem to break the most basic tenet of journalism and would appear to disgrace CNN...the reporter is not to become part of the story. So far he still has a job. :roll:

    Good job, CNN!
