I assume that the Canadian healthcare system is a single payer system, which the new healthcare system won't be and Canadians like it--[URL=http://www.aarp.org/politics-society/government-elections/info-03-2012/myths-canada-health-care.html]]]5 Myths About Canada’s Health Care System---The truth may surprise you![/URL] This is actually a good link, as long as you just skim the article and study the comments instead. I tend to learn more form an article's comments section than from the article itself. Granted the quality of commentators and comments varies widely, never-the-less I'm able to pick the brains of, and learn from many more people concerned about a particular issue than just the article's author alone. |

A particularly good verse for rich Republicans. Got any good verses for "rich Democrats?" I know quite a few who could probably use one. |

...except for the helicopter thing and perhaps making sure Iraq couldn't have any usable airports for the Russians and French to help Hussein... Yep. Gen. schwarzkopf himself admitted to having been "snookered" by Iraqi's during the post-war peace negotiations by allowing them use their helicopters and airports ostensibly to facilitate transport of medical and repair supplies to the more damaged areas of Iraq. Instead Iraq used the bases and helicopters to suppress the Kurds and prevent them from further weakening Saddam's regime. CIA people old enough at this time were probably reminded of the Bay of Pigs debacle, where Castro's air force decimated their attempt to overthrow him. |

Since when did Baptists know anything about Biblical Calvinism???  Depends on the Baptist. I've known Baptists who were hyper-calvinists, Pelagean-Arminian, and everything in between. I read somewhere that there are at least 200 different denominations in the world today who refer to themselves as being some kind of Baptist. |

Reading about [URL=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_P._Lucas]]]Gen. John P. Lucas[/URL], I was going to lay all the blame of Anzio on him, but apparently Gen. Mark Clark deserved a lot of the blame also.
The Union always had a shortage of good generals, and thankfully a few stepped up when it was needed at Gettysburg and also the fairly consistent success of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan. Kesselring did an awsome job of defending Italy against Clark's forces. Lucas' taking time to secure his bridgehead unfortunately gave the Germans that much more time to dig in and rally in response to the allied landings. Truscot and/or Patton would surely have wasted no time in grabbing Rome ASAP before the Germans could fortify it. Oh well. |

No. It is his position as commander-in-chief that bestows the ultimate responsibility onto the President.
No hiding behind plausible deniability here like so many of his predecessors from both parties!
Good to see Obama showing he possesses some guts and backbone!
A true leader does not shrink from the duties of office just to keep his fanbase.
4 more years! It could be that the overall worldwide terror situation is so bad now that even someone like Obama, now that he's president and privy to all kinds of intelligence reports, knows that we can't afford to fool around with these people. Had 9/11 occurred on Clinton's watch, Clinton might have been more motivated to get Bin Ladin than he was. If Romney wins this Fall it will feel like (at least to me) that we're just switching engineers on this runaway train called America. Hope I'm wrong. |

It was even bloodier because McClellan was such a bad commander. He had the power and the means to end the War Between the States, but not the will to end it.
[URL=http://www.phil.muni.cz/~vndrzl/amstudies/civilwar_stats.htm]]]Civil War Statistics[/URL] It's funny how some of the best trainers can also be the most lousy commanders. McClellan was very meticulous in training the Union Army but couldn't lead it well. A similar example, for those familiar with the Band of Brothers account of US airborne forces in WWII, is Captain Sobel, who trained Easy Company while Richard Winters actually led the group into battle after proving to be a far more capable commander than Sobel. |
