Bill

I just heard you say that we couldn't pull out our troops from Iraq in 90 days. Dude that's a fucking joke. I read a stat that we can end the life of every living organism on Earth, from the bottom of the ocean to the end of the exosphere, 27 times. We (the Bush bitches) spend $500 billion per year since the Iraq war started on defensive and offensive military systems. I think we have the capability to pull a few hundred thousand men out in 90 days if we have the power to kill every single thing that lives.

One comment about the war and why the US can never win and should leave.

If you messed with Sadam, he would find your mother, your father, brother, sister, cousin, neighbors? and your goat. Torture them a kill them.

The US can never be that ruthless!!!

That's how Saddam could control the people

Question-
what is the roundtable thought on the government stepping in to buy the highest-quality mortgages that are now not being purchased by investors and how this is creating a catastrophic collapse of the mortgage market?

By buying the high quality mortgages it would instill confidence back into the mortgage market and with the return on this investment it would provide the funds to help the homeowners who need to be rescued from foreclosure.

The only thing that is keeping us in Iraq is the billions of dollars that American companies have invested there. Regardless of who wins the election, we can NOT leave them behind so the US presence will continue.

Why does the media keep referring to Hillary's victories in Texas and Ohio as a comeback? Just over a month ago she led both states by around 20 points. It looks like Obama could have actually won Texas if he had another week to campaign. How is this a comeback for Hillary? She gained what, 3 delegates on Tuesday?

Bill, Bill, Bill,
Blah, Blah, Blah!
We talk, we argue about who will end this war but it's the SYSTEM, The Military Industrial Complex, $$$$$. And THE ONLY THING WE SHOULD EVER TALK ABOUT IS THE SYSTEM! Why waste time talking about this politician and that - JUST FIGHT TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM through Lobbying and Election Reform!

Bill: love the show, I know neither Hillary nor Obama have any luck correcting Bush's screw up over in Iraq. We have got ourselves so dug in there it would take at least 3 yrs to come out of there. Iraq does not want to run their own country so the expect us to do it for them but inturn they are turning around and talking with Iranian's behind our backs. Come on are we that stupid of a country to allow what has happened to us continue if so then put Mcain in the white house it not then it is a hard choice between Hillary and Obama. Later on

Alan from Phoenix
Ps keep up the great job with the show. Love it

Thank you for mentioning Ron Paul. He is still in the race and he is the only one who has said that he will bring the troops home immediately. America needs to wake up and realize that Obama, Clinton, and McCain are just going to give us more of the same of what we have had for the last eight years.
.......................................
I say Ron Paul all the way. Even though I don't agree ith him on EVERYTHING, I think he is the best candidate. VOTE RON PAUL.

I couldn 't agree more about calling our military action in Iraq a war. Its all about the paradigm. Dems continue to play in the Republicans paradigm and now Hillary has adopted Rove-esque tactics by playing the politics of fear.

I what like to know would the panel rather see 20,000 kurds die or one more american soldier. Why stay one more day to protect people that want us to leave.

It time to worry about america and not Iraq.

Bill, why don't you push the conversation toward the OIL..
We all know the ruling class fuckheads care nothing about human life as long as they still have enough of us to line their pockets.
