"...by next summer, every home in Iraq will have central air conditioning and high-speed broadband internet access."

And that didn't even sound sarcastic.

I can't wait to see this joke of a president bush out of office.


Maybe the inventor of the internet gore will develop some magical way for broadband to be delivered into rural areas. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8445079 Fri, 07 Nov 2003 19:08:41 EDT Re: Mixed up Priorities http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8444786 klross32148 : Just take 1% out of the 396 billion dollar defense budget and you can feed most of America. Kind of annoys me that we "have" to keep troops station in countries like Japan or Korea, there is just no need anymore. Other countries do not want us there, and most Americans do not want us there.

I'm also curious, do you guys think that World War 3 is ever going to happen? America seems to think so if they're going to pump this much cash in defense... I think that the world is civilized, not full of barbarians, but I guess Bush thinks otherwise.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8444786 Fri, 07 Nov 2003 18:35:25 EDT Re: Mixed up Priorities http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8444683 brandon : -nah, nevermind.
