Here's one for you. I read in the WSJ today that 9 national airlines from Muslim countries fly into US airports. I read that and thought " of course they do". But......isn't it feasible that "suicide Muslim terrorists" could infiltrate these Muslim owned airlines and do a 9/11 again?

Should that practice be banned due to "security risk"?

If not, what's the difference between Muslim country owned and operated airlines flying into US airspace, and Muslim countries operating (but not owning) ports, in terms of security risks, that is?

"Renlistment of soldiers in Iraq is doing rather well. "

They (WE!) are paying bonuses up to 60k for certain reenlistments. That's pretty high cotton for your average grunt.


Its useless. Tim wants to believe that everything is fine in the Army no matter whether the facts support his case or not.

Most average grunts who re-enlist aren't getting $60k.

And if they where that set against the war I doubt even such bonuses would account for the re-enlistment rate.
