Airline Industry watchers wonder who will fold next

[MountainFreak]

Mountain...I don't give a rat's kisster what you are. I didn't imply anything in my statement you infered it. Now I will never defend Rush, he is a big boy and does that quite nicely. I just have issues with dumba$$ libs that will tag every misfortune on the pres. Have a nice progressive day. And while your being progressive go out and show the world how progressive you are. Give away your life's savings. Why not if H D R C or B H O get in office we are going to empty our pockets anyway.

Now that is freakin funny! You don't give a rat kisser that I'm progressive, but you tell the world in every post how conservative and smart you are, and we are supposed to care about that. Like it matters more. Right.

And since when does being liberal mean you want to give all your money away and tax the rich airline pilots? Only in conservative paranoia-world. The world of people who believe a fat entertainer is actually providing analysis on a for-profit radio show.

I said previously that I know lots of smart conservatives. You just brought the average down.

The funny part about that is no one knows where they went.

If you where Hussein, why play games with the inspectors if he really didn't have any WMD? Why not just make a public spectacle of destroying them like the UN wanted?

He would have still been in power had he done so.....but neither happened.....he refused to comply.

Do you ever wonder why?

We already know. He had a distorted view of geo-politics, and thought he was in a more powerful position by letting the world believe he may have WMD's. He thought it was a counterbalance against Iran and the US.

Again, he did not have them, he just wanted the world to think he might. Huge mountains of evidence show that he lost the WMD capability in the first Gulf War and the subsequent inspections. He gambled poorly, and lost.

The real question is why did WE believe he had them. Our intel was good enough to know better. Was it willful ignorance, incompetence, or did the administration intentionally ignore all contrary evidence? Not sure if we will ever get the answer to those.

Sorry, but our president sits at the helm and sets the tone for this country's economic movement.

Nothing but bad news since this guy moved into the White House.

Blame Bush......starting to get a little old.

Hurricane Katrina

New Orleans was a city with a democratic mayor in a state with a democratic governor and democratic congressmen. What was their response after failing to prepare their own citizens for the disaster?

"Where's George Bush?"

I'm sure everything would have turned out much better had there been a democrat in office.

Hey....I'm out of toilet paper....where's George Bush?

Hmm. A quick search on the internets shows that in 2005, Louisiana had a Dem governor/mayor of New Orleans, one Dem senator, one Republican senator, and more Rep than Dem Congressmen. The same search shows that the US had a Republican President with Republican apointees over FEMA and the Corp of Engineers, and a Republican Congress.

So yes, they all get lots of blame. Including Bush.

You mean like Republican's did w/ Clinton?

I'm voting for whoever can assassinate this inane thread.
Wish there was that much passion for the profession. :smash:

Sorry, as a member of the "Inane Thread Party", It's my goal to keep as many Inane Threads going as possible.

In that vein, I will now make some stupid political assertion, sure to incite and inflame and generate several more pages of drivel and vitriol.

Here goes: Bush, Hillary and Obama have been doing 'three-ways' at Camp David for the past several months. Cheney was in the closet filming it all for later distribution via his soon-to-be-revealed adult toy website--"Dick's Etc.". TC

Many people, myself included, believed going to war with Iraq was a wise decision based on misleading information provided by our govt. Sadaam was a horrible guy. So are the leaders of N. Korea, Iran and half the African Continent. We cannot and should not police the world. No flip flop here. Rather a feeling of disappointment in my govt. for selling this unjustified war. Global terrorism will not be solved in Iraq!

Your right! We evidentally got bad information from our forgien intelligence and national security agencies about WMD he had left, we knew that he had them at one time. Oh by the way, these agencies and the military lost billions of dollars of funding during the Clinton administration. Money he used to sell a "balancing of the budget" to us. Then Bush takes the media bashing about our intel, the equiptment we send our military to war with, and then questions our ability to end the situation.

To all the "End the War Now" types, keep in mind that we were in Germany 40 years after WWII and we still have a presence in Korea. It's going to take awhile before we are out of Iraq. That should have been thought of by our Democratic flip-flop senator/congressmen before they voted for the war in the first place. Doesn't really matter, we are there now. We need to support and fully fund everthing that we can to end it as quickly but correctly (not just pulling out and leaving a horrible mess to deal with later).

I am not defending the amount of money we spend on illegal aliens, however, the fact remains that the reason our dollar is at it lowest valuation ever is due to this administration's willingness to fund the two wars we are in by printing more cash. Simple economics, supply goes up and the price declines...

Our dollar is at the lowest valuation because multiple reasons. Some of the driving factors are that the Democrats support a "World Economy" in other words our economy has to come down to balance other countries economies to be on a level playing field. Another is our williness to allow our companies to outsource labor around the world. We're to big headed to pick lettuce for a few cents per head, or pay $3 a head for homegrown lettuce at the grocery, so someone else will be payed to do it and we lose yet another industry. The Walmartization of our industries. Now in an economic downturn we look for someone to blame. Might as well be the president, becuase we would never, never blame ourselves.

We got out of Vietnam real quick and now look where they are today...........like nothing ever happened.
