Why did John McCain have to borrow from his life insurance policy to finance his political campaign?

by admin on Apr.15, 2010, under History


If so many rich Republicans are on McCain’s side, why did he have to borrow from his life insurance policy to pay for his television ads? If McCain does not have enough money to manage his own private business affairs, how can he manage the US government’s economy that is suffering tremendously because of all of the money America is spending overseas? I honestly admire McCain for his valor & courage during the Vietnam War but the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan are different, and the United States has made tremendous sacrifices in effort to change the world and build democracies in countries that are much older than the USA and steeped in historical and religious traditions. The great General Omar Bradley said that “we (Americans) know more about war than we know about peace.” There are many great quotes about the terrible consequences of war by former American generals including Presidents Eisenhower that you should read & remember.

Auditors: Iraq faces budget surplus By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 19 minutes ago

WASHINGTON – Iraq isn’t spending much of its own money, despite soaring oil revenues that are pushing the country toward a massive budget surplus, auditors told Congress on Tuesday.

The expected surplus comes as the U.S. continues to invest billions of dollars in rebuilding Iraq and faces a financial squeeze domestically because of record oil prices.

“The Iraqis have a budget surplus,” said U.S. Comptroller General David Walker. “We have a huge budget deficit. . . . One of the questions is who should be paying.”

Walker and the other auditors did not give a figure as to the likely surplus. U.S. officials contend that Iraq’s lack of spending is due primarily to Baghdad’s inability to determine where its money is needed most and how to allocate it efficiently. Two senators have called for an investigation into the matter.
The Government Accountability Office estimates that the U.S. has designated $6 billion to rebuild Iraq’s energy sector and $300 million to develop Iraq’s government ministries. But GAO contends that the U.S. doesn’t have a strategic plan on how to accomplish either goal.

The State Department told investigators it believes the Iraqis should be responsible for devising such a plan. GAO disagreed.

“In our view, it’s a shared responsibility. U.S. taxpayer money is involved,” Walker said.

Last week, Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John Warner, R-Va., asked GAO to investigate what Iraq is doing with its oil revenue. The senators estimated that Iraq will realize “at least $100 billion in oil revenues in 2007 and 2008.”

This is the summary of the article by Anne Flaherty of the Washington Post found on TODAY’S YAHOO NEWS.
To David P.
I gave the URL for the Peace Learning Center because there is a saying that goes: “We have seen the enemy, and the enemy are us.” There is a lot of crime in America, and especially a lot of juvenile crime and heinous school killings. No one seems to be addressing this in the USA. It seems sometimes like America is building more jails than schools. Police, fire fighters, and other public servants including soldiers in the National Guard and the Armed Forces in the USA do not get paid enough for what they have to do to take care of all of us. There are real men and women fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and we don’t know anything about them and what they have to go through day to day. What about their life insurance policies?

How did the Gettysburg Campaign lead to the Battle of Gettysburg?

by admin on Mar.28, 2010, under History


I am doing a project on the Battle of Gettysburg and I am trying to figure out how the Gettysburg Campaign fit in with the battle (and why it’s called the Gettysburg Campaign when the battle of Gettysburg was neither the first nor last battle in the campaign). I’d also like to know some of the political/strategic motives for Generals Lee and Meade and what Lincoln had to do with it all.
I do not need wikipedia excerpts, just a really good explanation!

Where can I get good information about Abraham Lincoln’s first presidential campaign/election?

by admin on Nov.27, 2009, under History


I’m doing a multi-genre essay on Abraham Lincoln’s first presidential campaign and election.

Where can I get good information about it? Probably the pros and cons during that time period, his goals and hopes for the nation, his speeches, his inauguration speech and all of that?

Can you provide me with some good links or something of that sort for me to track down the information?

Thanks!
