Here is a decription of the video linked here: Medical treatment in Afghanistan being given to anyone in need, including enemy combatants. Produced by Senior Airman Jay Herna...

Well its been a while since I posted here and thought I would start back by posting about a video I watched that had me absolutely stunned. A video of Al-Qaida training children to be (insert your own word here) terrorist, insurgents, whatever. If you watch it, it should make you wonder that the adults are so radicalized as to think of training children into the ranks at this age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul9g2awLrCY Then you can go on to see how we have treated some of the...

FBI: Arkansas suspect researched locations in U.S. cities OK is this an indicator of things to come? Is this type of thing going to increase? It’s sad that almost as our own president is trying to talk to the Muslim world, the Muslim world makes a very big statement. Abdulhakim Muhammad, a 23 year old Muslim, opened fire in front of an Army Recruiting station in Little Rock, killing one soldier and wounding another. What he did not know is they were not recruiters, but soldiers...

Well, now that the New President declared that troops will be leaving (and leaving 50,000 behind) and that the mission has been accomplished what do all you anti, negative types think? Some of his statements about it today. In his speech at Camp Lajeune he said " the men and women of the United States military have served with honor, and succeeded beyond any expectation. " Sounds like he thinks we did a good job. Also he said this, " Let me say this as plainly as I can: by August 31,...

I have a few concerns and questions about the current administrations ideas and what they have talked about possible actions when it comes to the job market and economic crisis that it is said we have. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants that come into the United States every year. This of course does not include the ILLEGAL aliens that cross our borders every day. The current administration would have to create over 100,000 jobs a month in ...

YouTube’s non-existent customer service. Did you know that the largest video hosting service on the internet, does not have any customer service!?! That’s right, I could not believe it either.

They have a function known as “Flagging” a video that you feel violates one of the “community guidelines” or that you feel is in some way inappropriate. If you ...

I got one of those stupid forwarded e-mails that no one bothers to check before they send, you know, the ones that say something sensational, yet when you do a little checking you find no substance or supporting information. Well I got one this mornig that made me look, and even check a little to see if there was any truth, because if there was, WOW would it be a bombshell if it made it to the main stream media (fat chance). The title was " Clintons File RICO Suit Against Obama - ACORN Sto...
