The troops signed up for this. The troops will not suffer as a result of this. Indeed, if this gets the troops out of Iraq, they will be much, much, much better off. Giving the president money ensures more die.

Not true, Kucinich would do the same if he were President. The Dems will most likely cave in on the war funding bill, they always have, they always will, spineless dicks (Kucinich aside, of course!)

That is stupid

Texas is currently attempting to have its science teachers trained by creationists. I think that qualifies as "retarded". Grow up and deal with reality, hairless ape. :P

[615ocean]

Retarded? give you facts and you sound like romper room grow up and deal with reality.

[TitaniumDragon]

You simply don't understand. Those states are being retarded. The interstate system is awesome, and improving the interstates is GOOD for the economy. The reality is there is no random Mexico-Canada highway; if a highway is built somewhere, it is built because there is a need for it. There is no need for a random highway through Kansas to Canada as far as I know, but if there is, I don't care if they build it. But they aren't building the highway to ruin the US.

Nice to see you dont deny its a reality anymore

Why is it done in secret. Why our Texas highway already paid for being sold off to a company in Spain? Why our exsisting paid for by taxpayer highways becoming toll roads for trucks only? Why is it you think this OK when the state of Texas Legislature and 12 states in USA have put a stop to it.

[TitaniumDragon]

New highways to Mexico in Texas are hardly tragic; they're neighboring countries, what's wrong with having yet another road? Its not like there aren't tons already that cross the border...

[615ocean]

Toll roads are to be placed upon existing roads in Security Prosperity Partnership agreements that bypasses Congress, agreements between the bureaucracies of the US and Mexican governments, to raise capital to build the Super highway that will go South of Texas and into Mexico.

The highway is to be linked to the Trans-Texas Corridor the first leg of the highway which will connect Mexico with the US.

NASCO has received $250 million in earmarks from the U.S. Department of Transportation to plan the NAFTA Super Highway as a 10-lane limited-access road (five lanes in each direction) plus passenger and freight rail lines running alongside pipelines laid for oil and natural gas. One glance at the map of the NAFTA Super Highway as produced by NASCO makes clear that the design is to connect Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. into one transportation system.

[615ocean]

The organisation overseeing the implementation of the highway is NASCO, the North America SuperCorridor Coalition Inc., which describes itself as a "non-profit organization dedicated to developing the world's first international, integrated and secure, multi-modal transportation system along the International Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor to improve both the trade competitiveness and quality of life in North America."

I guess it depends on your definition of involvement and war.
