The Taliban managed to get onto a U.S. military base in Afghanistan
with a truck bomb and to set it off. A
Taliban suicide bomber carried out the attack by detonating a large bomb inside
a truck carrying firewood. Five Afghans
were killed.
COMMENTS:
How did the truck get on the base in the first place? This is a huge lack of security. What do you think is going to happen in Iraq
after we bring all but 3,000 troops home?
We either need to kick the hell out of them or get completely out. War is hell, not politics.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Why did all of the networks just go on and on and on
about things to do with the 10th anniversary of 9/11? I thought it was way overdone. (Madge ~ Hercules, CA)
A. The anniversary was on a Sunday. Since all of the news seems to come to an
abrupt stop on Fridays at 5:00 PM EDT, the networks are clamoring for something
the fill their time slots with. Some go
to infomercials, some go to cartoons, and some seize on whatever little news
there is around and work it to death.
Certainly, 9/11 was a tragic day and the 10th anniversary was
a big day, but I agree that I saw the towers come down about 50 times too
many.
Q. Where does Obama come up with putting out “his plan” and
then demanding that Congress pass it “all or nothing?” What happened to all of this compromise he
has been bellyaching about? (Izzie ~ Las
Vegas, NV)
A. Obama believes in compromise, just as long as he gets his
way.
Q. With Obama set to spend another $500 billion on another
stimulus, why is the stock market continuing to fall? (Nancy ~ Lynnwood, WA)
A. Foreign markets are tanking. Just yesterday, Asian markets tumbled
again. Investors know from experience that
the last stimulus did not work. They don’t
like the prospects for improvement.
