Will President Bush eventually have to accept a troop timetable in exchange for war funding?If Bush doesn't accept a timetable soon, he'll probably have more to worry about than funding.
-Clay, Russellville, Arkansas
Jack, It appears that President Bush finally found his veto pen. Unfortunately, it will be used on the wrong bill.
-Steven, Jacksonville, Florida President Bush agreeing to a timetable is letting the terrorists inside Iraq win the war and eventually dethroning the Iraqi government. You're giving your enemy inside information. As soon as the American troops leave they will step up their attacks... It's plain dumb to let your enemy know when you intend to quit. So no, President Bush will not compromise and justifiably so.
-Richard, Montreal, CanadaJack, The Congress did not send President Bush a Bill including a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq. The American people did. The sooner President Bush realizes this, the sooner he will have to accept it.
-Marion, Hickman, KentuckyWhat's the appropriate punishment for ITT for sending night-vision technology to potential enemies?Hi Jack, What's to stop other companies that sell sensitive information to the U.S. armed forces from selling it to any of our enemies? A slap on the wrist? $100 million... come on. What's that to corporate America? They compromised the ability of our troops to operate on the battlefield. The punishment? How about a firing squad?
-Nick, Toms River, New JerseyThe answer to your question, give the corporate heads, all of them, hard time (many years) in prison where they can learn the difference between good and bad business decisions.
-Gene, Dallas, Texas
The fine is just the cost of doing business. These treasonous "American" companies should have those executives in charge of sending our best jobs and technologies to foreign powers charged criminally and sent to prison.
-John, Gilbert, ArizonaHow much will candidates' private lives matter to you when voting for president?I would never even consider a candidate's personal affairs in judging whether or not he can govern. The only time a candidate's private life ever gets examined in the first place is when his opponents try to bring him down. They obviously have nothing to offer the American people themselves, so their only hope is to try to make the other guy look worse than they do.
-Bill, Ohio
I think it is important since when times are bad, your integrity is all you can depend on.
-Mary, Staten Island, New York
I believe Hillary Clinton, of all the candidates, has shown her ability to be a "lady of steel" in standing by Bill Clinton during and following his problems with that blue dress! Anyone who could put up with that exhibition of lies can put up with any world leader and deserves to be president.
-Jim, Huntsville, AlabamaAs someone who has divorced three wives, I look to the Republican candidates as my heroes and role models.
