Replying to: circlew (Nov 06, 2008 4:42 am) And where were all those government hand outs for Silcon Valley after the internet bubble burst a few years ago? Did many information technology firms shut down or go bankrupt? Ofcourse they did and despite those bankruptcies USA has stronger and more profitable information technology firms than what existed during the bubble. Creative destruction and creative innovation is the source of prosperity and not government handouts to firms that cant compete. Toyota's shares are being battered today because of a bitter sales and earnings forecast. What is Toyota doing about it? The will introduce four unique hybrid Toyota and Lexus models during the year of 2009. You wont hear Toyota screaming for handouts since they do know how to reinvent themselves during economic booms and dooms. OPEC crisis 1974 and the Big 3 are caught offguard. Oil prices and environmetalism today the Big 3 are caught offguard again. What have they learned? Any company that sells products that consumers dont want deserves to die. GM, Ford and Chrysler RIP and hopefully innovative US firms like Telsa will thrive and grow!

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 12:02 pm) And how did Bush confront Al Queda? By going to Baghdad and spending over a trillion dollars in a country where Saddam Hussein was very effective in torturing and killing Iraqi Al Queda members. That IMO is a very indirect way of confronting Al Queda. Obama/Biden wants to directly confront Al Queda in Afghanistan and Pakistan with more troops. That IMO is a far more direct way of confronting Al Queda especially since that is exactly where most of Al Queda is hiding.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 2:15 pm) His name was Saddam Hussein. A true story. The story continues... Then one day he was dreaming that he can be the second coming of Hitler so he started killing the Kurds and ultimately invaded Kuwait. A true story too...

Replying to: louiswei (Nov 06, 2008 2:33 pm) Like the USA cared so much about the Kurds? Cheney and Bush cared about one thing and one thing only: OIL. Sounds like a criminal case to me, but that would require guts. I'm not holding my breath.

Replying to: hpowders (Nov 06, 2008 2:42 pm) Cheney and Bush cared about one thing and one thing only: OIL In this particular case the Germanium Man and the Titanium Man are no longer in disagreement. Millions and millions have gotten killed in Congo by war criminals . There is massive genoicide going on in Sudan. Many African countries do have serial killing leaders who have been in power for years. Would Pres. George W spend over a trillion of dollars to militarily solve just one of these African problems. I dont think so. When did Saddam Hussein kill and gas most of his Kurd victims? During the early 1980s when Saddam shook hands with his ally Mr.Rumsfeld himself. I promise everyone this is my very last political post because this discussion can get even hotter than those Lexus vs. BMW discussions.
