You would say that AQ is healthy now? Then you would say that stuffing peas up your nose is great sport too.
Here's a list of 40 top al Qaeda operatives killed or in jail:
Al-Qaeda Leadership Losses
Any org suffering that many losses at the top is not healthy, thank you.
And if you think that there are no people replacing those people, then you are having a brain fart of gigantic proportions.
I have never believed that AQ is nothing more than a loose amalgamation of terrorist idiots, and are but one of varying number of 'organisations' how are out to cause as much as destruction as they can...
The Taliban are more of a problem and it seems they have been getting stronger over the past 18 months - 2 years
I don't consider "a while ago" to be a meaningful statement. In fact I don't consider any statement she makes to be meaningful because she doesn't have a clue what she's talking about.
You dont think the USS Cole was a terrorist attack by al Qaeda? Or the embassy bombings (which are American soil, thanks)?
The GOP "control" was in name only. They hadn't even anywhere close to the power the Dems have now. The Dems can do whatever they want with no GOP votes or support whatsoever. The GOP had to have lots of Dem votes and support to do anything at all.[ Republicans won control of the House and Senate and said they'd cut taxes and not control spending.

Well, more fool you then. If you stick around you'd know that she is very intelligent. Is the economy her best subject? No, but she's already said that. However, if you are an expert and she an everyman, then she's giving you a run for your money. Now start talking Bruce Springsteen, the law or Israel. See how well you go...
Yes, the USS Cole and embassy bombings were terrorist attacks. You think attacks on US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq aren't?

However, it will allow you to pay off your debt quicker and increase manufacturing due to more exports. People outside of the US will buy its products if the price is right. If I was asked to pay $50 for a Chinese-made item or $50 for the exact same item but manufactured in the US, I'd take the US item due to quality issues.
That's fine in terms of overall economic health. But if people can't afford to pay for gas or pay their oil bills, that could be a mess. Also, if the cost of energy increases at that level, then the cost of goods would increase proportionately, no?
There's increases and then there's increases. Nuclear power I say!
That alone won't really do much.Ultimately, the end game is printing money to get ourselves out of this mess.

Place the blame where it goes, on ALL of them.
Printing money alone doesn't do that much. It's other global factors which are going to cause the desired (IMO) inflationary pressures.That alone won't really do much.Ultimately, the end game is printing money to get ourselves out of this mess.
It is going to create enormous dislocations in the global economy. It will be help us avoid The Great Depression 2.0, but the secondary and tertiary effects are likely to be massive.
But, you were blaming republicans using an old, worn-out and inaccurate talking point. They never had any true "control." And certianly nothing like what the Dems have today.The GOP "control" was in name only. They hadn't even anywhere close to the power the Dems have now.

Didn't matter. I don't care about parties.
What happened was that Congress cut taxes and did not control spending. Others can make their conclusions on who was to blame.

And although Congress cut taxes and did not control spending, the deficit was actually going DOWN there for awhile. Lest we forget.
NOT all by itself. If that were true, we could always reduce debt by printing more money. And we would already have massive inflation.Printing money alone doesn't do that much.
Sure it does. It creates inflation.
And that is why inflation is currently out of control?Printing money alone doesn't do that much.
Sure it does. It creates inflation.
Inflation is not a rise in prices. A rise in prices is symptomatic of inflation.
Inflation is the excess creation of money. That money has to go somewhere.
The excess creation of money this decade created bubbles in housing and credit. We didn't get consumer price inflation because the opening of China and the emerging markets created enormous deflationary pressures. Thus, the money flooded into asset markets.
That is happening again. The collapse of the credit markets has created enormous deflationary pressure, and the government has created even more liquidity than it did at the beginning of the decade. That liquidity is once again flowing into asset markets. That is why gold hit an all-time high today.
No, you said al Qaeda was quite healthy. I'd like to see evidence. I offered evidence that we have killed or imprisoned 40 of their top commanders. We have obviously destroyed their base of operations in Afghanistan. We have driven their senior leadership underground.
So tell me why you think they are quite healthy, other than that admitting otherwise would require giving Pres Bush credit. Which is against your religion or something.
What?The excess creation of money this decade created bubbles in housing and credit.

Yep, I think it is healthy. Have terrorist attacks stopped in Iraq? So you have a list of deaths.....and? That doesn't mean much...they are like the Hydra...
