| Special forces on standby over nuclear threat
They get hammered every time they TRY and conduct ops against the islamofacists in thier country. Why do you think Musharraff ceded those NWFP"S to our enemies instead of fighting? Ur full of cow chips my friend, and lay off the Molsons and that Canadian Club, it clouds ur judgement. You should be ashamed, ur countrymen are kickin' azz over there, shame we don't have 5,000 more. As for Bush & Co, they have f'd up the REAL mission, and this a-stan business should be coming to a close. Guess not coz we went into Iraq. .
Blago revisits old ideas for budget
These leaders know we need to act now to strengthen the economy. We know it too. The idea of giving parents more money to help pay for the things their kids need is exciting. The idea of cutting taxes on businesses, that are already paying more than their fair share, is good policy. The idea of a major public works program that puts hundreds of thousands of people to work, in every part of Illinois, what is not to like? All of this is a way forward to help families and strengthen our economy. But like most things in life, nothing good worth doing comes without some sacrifice. To give families and businesses more of their money back, we have to cut spending. These spending cuts will allow us to cut taxes and get the economy moving. The sacrifice I am suggesting is a 3 percent spending cut across the board, in areas outside health care, education, and public safety.

An individual may decide to put half of his money into stocks, domestic or global funds that have both domestic and foreign stocks. (Garcia warned against moving large portions into foreign funds, because they already have enjoyed a strong run in recent years and offer too little upside potential given downside risks.) The investor should put the other half of his money in a bond fund with a diversified mix of low-, medium- and high-quality bonds, Garcia said. Investors can simply choose a target fund, which has a mix of stocks and bonds that get more conservative as the investor ages, he said. A good target fund "kind of is the perfect meal," Garcia said. He advised against a lot of a la carte investments to the target fund. Bangma, who likens the 2008 economy to the stagflation of 30 years ago, says once again gold is appreciating in value.

"No, not yet. We have to move forward in a way that we bring about a stable democratic government to Pakistan," he said adding, he is even prepared to work with former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who was accused by Musharraf at one time of trying to kill him.
