Condolence payments
I was just watching CNN while having my coffee and they are talking about the US giving condolence money out to Iraqi citizens who have had family members die from US "collateral damage". The amount totals in the tens of millions of dollars and averages approximately 2500 per incident. The awards are handled on a battalion basis and there is no continuity between commanders. In short the individual commanders have the discretion to determine who gets money and how much. I have a problem with this. It really hits me because I just sent my quarterly tax payment into the IRS last week and it bothers me that I am paying my taxes to support something like this. We are going broke paying for this worthless war and now I find out our money isn't all going to the troops and the support for their efforts. First we bomb them and then we give them money for their trouble. Enough is enough. Next election I will vote for whoever has the courage to focus on the US rather than some sandpit being run by a bunch of savages. We have a financial deficit that is growing daily due to our present government"™s policy. This administration is the worst I have seen in my entire life of 58 years.

Can any one find out what butt plug thought this idea up ? Or is the just more good news from the war on terror.
The war on terror seems more like a war on common sense than any thing else. Maybe we could send the bad guys to anger management classes for awhile, god forbid killing them!!!!!!!!
