@TerrierToughGuy: So you want to say that the american goverment doesnt control media too? It's doesnt happen to change laws to arrest 'criminals' who give out dirty details of the goverment? That the president of course stays day and night up worrying how can he make the lives of the people that voted for him better and furfilling his promises? That no stupid things are being done simply to make money and not to actually help someone except the political parties...?

.Vietnam knocked the last remnants of gold backing for the dollar. This war will send USA into the third world.

What a waste of good men on a useless war that leads to no mans land.

Americans will continue to vote for the same 2 parties that raped them ,the American people just do not learn from their mistakes they wave a flag and a silly grin and think all will be ok . minimum wage lowest ,no universal medicare highest taxes in the industrial world. USA #1 ? the laughing stock of the world

RT a state funded and state owned news media service. Using truth to deceive and spouting anti-Americanism. Actually you can find this station on Time Warner now. No commercials needed as RT is payed for by Russia to spread propaganda. But in the US the libby's lap it up like vampires suck blood.

what kind of a news reporter is this who doesn't even know that the fox news showing ron paul being boooed is FAKE and they were playing last year's video. Look up "Fox News Ron Paul CPAC exposed" or something along those lines

[Sean Wilson]

Dear News Anchor,

You have been deceived. THe boo's for Ron Paul were from last year, it's just that fox news played the wrong tape, trying to make him look bad. It turns out, there was nothing but cheers for Ron Paul this year.

Please don't take fox's word for it.

Really? That crazy how do u know?

Thanks I Love History, But I do believe when Alexander defeated the afghanis they did not even have sandals, so perhaps footwear does matter. LOL

[TheFleurieuLA]

The last General to beat the Afghanis was Alexander the Great. You can't judge warriors by their footwear.
