1. Just put it down to
natural generosity. :sarcasm:

In the UK it may well become " if you can afford to do that you can afford to bring down the cost of our petrol and diesel "

4. Yeah, no COLA for seniors, but when it comes to the military, we always seem to find the $$$.
It's sickening. Our priorities are far out of whack.

5. What Good Are Overflights...
When Quadaffi has tanks and heavy artillery that he's been using to pound the opposition. It's one thing to fly over and take pictures...another using those planes to help the opposition.

6. Maybe we can ask our new al Qaeda allies for cash?
Al Qaeda is also supporting the rebels, so we are on the same team with our mortal enemy! Go team!
