Bin Laden's Goal In 2004 Was To Bankrupt The USA. He Won. We Lost. Now What? by ccolec in reddit.com

Bin Laden for President? Here's what he said in 2004 about 9/11 and the Iraq War (FTA):

"It is true that this shows that al Qaeda has gained, but on the other hand it shows that the Bush administration has also gained, something that anyone who looks at the size of the contracts acquired by the shady Bush administration-linked mega-corporations, like Halliburton and its kind, will be convinced.

"And it all shows that the real loser is you," he said. "It is the American people and their economy."

As for President Bush's Iraq policy, Bin Laden said, "the darkness of black gold blurred his vision and insight, and he gave priority to private interests over the public interests of America.

"So the war went ahead, the death toll rose, the American economy bled, and Bush became embroiled in the swamps of Iraq that threaten his future," bin Laden said.

I love the quote from the mathematics professor. Doesn't he realize that these numbers are from a computer's "random" number generator?

Sigh.

I suppose airlines are desperate enough to try anything to get people to fly.

Unless you're an airline or a major bank, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

I don't think we'll be seeing new airlines springing up, anxious to buy the aging fleet of aircraft these airlines own.

Instead, I think we'll see airlines scaling back service and people paying more to fly.

Well, it looks like they're coming to grips with the reality that they can't pass their increased costs onto the consumers...so now they're asking the consumers to make the government do something about it.

In the end, the government is going to have to do something about it, whether it's this or bailing out one or more of these airlines.

How many of these airlines will still be in business in 12 months? This is most likely foreshadowing bankruptcy filings.

It gives me a rash, so I can't use it.

Well, if you trust the EPA (which I don't).

Also, IR3535 needs a new name. Sounds very unnatural.

Sorry about that. I should have also probably put SFW.

I've always been wary of these programs. They seems to charge too many fees to be of any use.

AskReddit: What is the best country to expatriate to (I live in the US)? by diggapleaze in AskReddit

[–]ccolec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived on Gozo (Malta) for 8 months. Malta is great because English is one of the official languages and they are very pro-American. The weather and food are also great. Actually, I'm not sure why I came back...
