That BTW was the central theme of Crichton's book - Keep 'em afraid, keep 'em under control.

[We now have a new imminent threat, SS. <g>] Well, karen, Bush can always just ignore the problem.

Seems like for several years, the previous Adm AND the Congress ignored it...That is, AFTER they upped the cost for both the employer and employee, AND decided that SS funds would go in the General Fund.

So much easier to spend that way.

Soooo....you think they inspected every house in Iraq for WMD? A country the same size of CA, and they have inspected every piece of land, and every house with every nook and cranny?

Wonder what else Saddam had buried besides people, and airplanes?

And the team was exactly how large?

My goodness, those folks were very busy, weren't they?
