Then, when the troops return, they get colonoscopies with non sterile instruments from the VA, and are possibly expose to AIDs.
So get over the AIG issues and start focusing on some more important things such as really truly suporting our troops.
And for those of you so outraged by the bonuses paid by AIG, do you seriously think they ripped off the taxpayers more than KBR/Halliburton??

My thread was NOT specifically about the AIG payouts but about the extremist group having bus tours of the homes of exec of AIG.
It had nothing to do with the good or bad of the bonus's themselves, but a group who will be a big part of our census, who is under indictment and/or investigation at last count in over 20 states for voter fraud DELIBERATELY CREATING FRICTION that was not in anyway necessary !
READ...there are deliberate attempts to create a class warfare in this country and will not be pretty.
As to the bonus's them selves, they should not have been paid, but what was common knowledge in WASH for a long time became a political tool...once again create a crisis and then jump in and solve it. The Federal Government is about to take over your life.
This is not about party but the spending spree of the Bush administration seems tame as to what is going on, and guess what...these plans all discussed by Obama during the campaign are now being thrust through under the guise of solving the financial situation and we are buying into it hook line and sinker. Does it not bother you that this congress was so prepared to spend so much money TWICE without even having members read what was in it....this WAS NOT IN RESPONSE TO ANY FINANCIAL CRISIS !!!
But again, the thread was about the deliberate attempt to rub nerves raw in this country but seems like nobody cares !
