Why are we still there?

It is time to take a serious look at our involvement there.

Every day there are news reports about more deaths. Every night on the TV are photos of death and destruction. Why are we still there?

The land is too large to secure all of it. The bad people causing this damage can roam anywhere, and we can't possibly police the whole place. Why are we still there?

We occupy this land, which we had to take by force, but it causes us nothing but trouble. Why are we still there?

Their government is unstable, and in the process of changing. Why are we still there?

Refugees are fleeing by the thousands, driven from their homes. Why are we still there?

It will cost billions to rebuild, which we can't afford. Why are we still
there?

We can't even secure the borders. Why are we still there?

And to repeat. Every day we hear of more Americans killed in this dangerous land.

It is clear!

We must abandon California.

To whom - who wants it.

Just like Miami - last one out - take the American flag with you.

I know something is F8cked cause the value of my houses keeps rising. It makes me sick. The gardner, maid, and cook, though, are pretty nice.

I'm sure Mexico would take it off your hands, just don't change your mind later.

It's called a Housing Crunch.

Learn more...then type. Thanks!
Well golly gee whiz. I didn't know that. And here I thought it's cause they aren't allowed to cut trees. All I know is it makes me sick every time I think I might sell. Nobody can afford my house.

OK, I'll bite - is it really YOUR house or your parent's house? Give me the tax id number and I'll look up your value and see if you really need your meds or not. I'll bet I could afford your house.

Nice. I saw the title and thought we were going to be discussing Bosnia though. Which Christmas will the troops be home by, Mr. Clinton?

This weekend, I will try to take my old super 8 tape in my recorder and figure out how to make a .mpg out of the speech Clinton delivered to my family in Baumholder, Germany just before he sent us in...promosied to have us home, as you correctly stated, by Christmas...sad thing about it was he didn't say which...to make a longer story short(er), I had Turkey T-Rats on December 25th two years in a row. But who am I to question the deployment? I mean it was in our "national interest" to "stop the war from erupting into all of Europe."

"We simply want to restore peace and democracy and a decent life to those people," Clinton told the press December 2 at the U.S. base in Baumholder.
