So, does this mean that American staples like fuel, cocaine and marijuana are going up in price or down?

Seriously, fortify our borders and start re-establishing American industries that have been outsourced by globalists.

I have one solution, all we have to do is get rid of our lawns.

I favor thinking in an outward plan, beyond our own borders. I retired 5 years ago from a large U.S. company which does business worldwide. The company is arranged with business managers for areas of the world.

Yes, the U.S. already has ambassadors but too damn many for GWB to esablish a coherent plan, plus some are good, a lot are worthless or worse (Joe Wilson was an ambassador as was Carol Mostly Fraud from Illinois). I'd suggest GWB divide the world into 4 or 5 zones then have the managers agree on a hot list of actions to be taken with the hot list updated very frequently. After all, if you try to do everything at once, you'll probably accomplish little or nothing.

I agree we need to have a strong southern exposure, perhaps the same on the North.

" The Bolivian head of state then set out for Beijing, where he stood beside communist-Chinese President Hu Jintao in the Great Hall of the People and described his hosts as the "political, ideological and programmatic ally of the Bolivian people." Morales pledged cooperation with Beijing, which wants access to the country's gas reserves, making Bolivia the latest in a string of nations in our hemisphere to turn away from Washington and head East."

It's quite obvious that the Chi-Coms have been meddling in the election process in Boliva and in getting that communist lunatic Chavas in power. I expect their next conquest will be Mexico. We may have to go to war down south.

Ollie is one crisis further into the future. The 'next' crisis is Iran's nukes and it's already upon us. Their new pres has us over a barrel (of oil) and he knows it. Our UN, NATO, EU, and any other alleged "allies" you can name don't have the guts to stand up to Iran. China and Russia are cheering them on (as are some of their likely customers in N.Korea, Syria, the netherlands of Pakistan, etc). Our "allies" (except Israel) won't have the guts to confront Iran under the threat of oil being cut off, and our 'competitors' will welcome it. Our upcoming congressional elections handcuff us, too. This is one fight we can't fight alone right now. He's got us by the cohones, and he's taking advantage of it. We'll be lucky if Iran doesn't have nukes before it's all over.

Ollie is right again, lot`sa folks south of here have always hated us.
Here`s what we need to think about. Bush has won the war in Iraq. As long as he doesn`t quit, its over. The problem is that after 2008, he`s in Texas cutting brush.
The Rat that wins their nomination in 2008 will be anti-war anywhere, and against border control.
Our challenge will be to select somebody that "gets it" with the continued threats and CAN BE ELECTED.
CAN BE ELECTED
We must have our priorities right and pick the candidate that can continue what Bush has done--put the defense of the country first, before all the hot button issues

Easier said than done. I've been trying to kill mine for years, but the damn thing keeps on growing back.

I remember a few years back some educated people telling me that communism is dead. Ha. It's a religion. It might go dormant for a few years like it did after the Berlin wall fell, but it will never die. Too many of our socialist enemies are sitting on large oil & gas reserves that we need.

Thanks for the ping, ss! :o)

OLLIE PING!

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Oliver North ping list...

[Watery Tart]

Thanks for the ping!

NORTH FOR PRESIDENT!

[ballplayer]

61%of the people south of the border harbor anti-American feelings ,and then they cross the desert at the risk of their lives to get here!

[TomasUSMC]

They just might hate their own countries too.

We need to build that Tancredo Wall yesterday. Heck, Tancredo told me 40 percent of illegals come across legally anyway and overstay, but a 60 percent reduction is worth it.

[Liberty Valance]

Ollie Bump!

Great suggestion. The pace out there is certainly picking up! However the U.S. still sets the pace of change so in a sense, we need a reorg in our foreign service agencies to keep up with ourselves. I hadn't looked at it that way before...

[Jim Noble]

The "Chavez problem," the Morales promise to promote cocoa harvesting, the growing Iranian and Chinese influence to our south, the potential collapse of democracy and free enterprise in Central America -- all argue for immediate attention from Washington's distracted policy makers

If we were not engaged in economic intercourse with these ignorant beggars, why would it matter?

Cut off trade, close the border, and let them have all the socialism they can handle.
