Yemen was an enemy port, but General Zinni had this incredibly stupid idea that our sailors are diplomats so sending them into the hands of the enemy is good diplomacy.

Actually, it became policy during the Klinton admin to use foriegn ports for Navy ship refueling as an way to justify cutting defense spending and not buying the required number of undwerway replenishment ships. Risking high value assets like Cole was not necessary, it was just convenient to the then admin who balanced the books on the backs of our servicemen.

Just read that a side effect of botox is respiratory infection. That could be it. He's skipping St. Patick's Day celebration in Boston to go on vacation. We'll see if he's looking any healthier when he returns.

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm doomed! But then I've only been receiving BOTOX for 12 years without any side effects (for an eye disease). Should I feel more vulnerable now? (Just kidding).

Amazing how none of these guys were caught when Clinton was in office but since Bush is in office justice is being done!

You are referring to the Wall street criminals, aren't you?
