- NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers
  Posted by Jeff from NPR
  The Programmers Guild, a professional society, also criticizes Gates for facilitating the erosion of U.S. competitiveness by using the H1-B program to "train a critical mass of foreign workers within the U.S." and then using "these workers to establish overseas operations."

- Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  Lawmakers have introduced bills to expand the program. But pro-immigration legislation is making little headway in this election year, and the H-1B program has been criticized by some for taking away U.S. jobs, lowering wages or being abused by foreign companies in the United States to bring in foreign workers.

  Posted by okami
  More than six years after the Bush administration first introduced military commissions, finally we will learn whether they offer a plausible means of trying terrorists or whether the system really is the total flop it has seemed to be so far.

- DoD Watchers Mull the Next President
  Posted by okami from Military
  Kansas City Star | By Scott Canon | February 20, 2008 Truman had MacArthur. Kennedy stumbled into the Bay of Pigs. George W. Bush returned the force of nature that is Donald Rumsfeld to the Pentagon. Whoever becomes the next commander in chief will wade into the sometimes uneasy world where admirals and generals cross paths, and sometimes swords, with presidents.

- RAND | News Release | United States Lacks the Capability to Counter Insurgency in the Muslim World
  Posted by okami
  Recognizing that the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan will not be the last of their kind, a new RAND Corporation study issued today finds that U.S. capabilities to meet the threat of Islamist insurgencies are seriously deficient and out of balance.

Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
