Cafferty: A Call to Arms
Where is Iraq headed if Iraqi politicians are urging civilians to arm themselves?Jack, It's a polite way to say things are going to get out of hand. Sure is not a confidence builder if you're a citizen of Iraq.
-Michael, Marinette, WisconsinI am all for Iraqi citizens to arm themselves. It's one of the fundamentals of our country for the civilians to be able to defend themselves, and should also be a part of the new Iraqi government.
-DavidIraq is heading in the wrong direction if the politicians there are telling a group of people whose history is already so violent to take up arms. They should be focused on getting all the guns out of that country, not giving them out like candy.
-Terry, Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaHeading to a situation much worse than they were under Saddam.
-Nasri, QuebecWhat does it mean if a quarter of the top positions at the Department of Homeland Security aren't filled?Hi Jack, I think that one more position should be open: Michael Chertoff's.
-Gloria, Gensler, Mississippi
They don't want to "HIRE" anyone I have been applying since the first of the year. I'm a retired military officer with skills.
-Bill, Miami, FloridaCould it be that the administration has run out of inexperienced neocon yuppy-puppy political hacks? -WB, Las Vegas, NevadaJack, It doesn't matter that a quarter of top positions at Homeland Security are vacant. Surely, changing color codes isn't that big a deal.
-Jerry, Oklahoma Should Congress stop funding the detention center at Guantanamo Bay?
America will regret that decision if they really close Guantanamo Bay prison. That's just crazy!
-Rick, Sturbridge, Massachusetts
Congress should immediately cut funding for that disgraceful stain on the nation’s reputation. To many of our former friends around the world, the U.S. has begun to look more and more like the USSR. -Alyn, Dover, Delaware
Interrogators should not torture prisoners. However, I see no reason to cut off funding for the Guantanamo Bay detention center, unless they can find a cheaper place to house terror suspects. -Dan, Winston Salem, North Carolina
Congress should not only stop the funding of Guantanamo, but the place should be closed down immediately. It is a national shame, creating many more enemies than it can house. -J., Reston, Virginia
