Hmmmmm...while I haven't researched it out, I will betcha that education and providing job oppertunities will reduce the terrorist by over 50%

Fundamental Islamic terrorists hate Jews. Until the civilized world turns their backs on Israel, these teroorists will continue to hate us. It is that simple.

Billion$ already provided to Louisiana in aid with another $250,000,000,000 asked for as an earnest against the rebuilding of N’Orleans.

That same ‘rebuilding’ is to be ten feet below sea level and twenty feet below levee level -- the same level which overflowed due to ‘rina. THIS! vox populi

seems to agree with…!

What’s the return?

Rice Gets U.S. Use of Kyrgyzstan Air Base

By Robin Wright

Washington Post Staff Writer

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, Oct 11 -- After months of back and forth talks over continued U.S. access to a military base in Kyrgyzstan, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice won a formal agreement Tuesday from the new Kyrgyz leadership for open-ended use of the airfield for the war on terrorism and humanitarian programs in nearby Afghanistan.

Rice and President Kurmanbek Bakiyev announced the deal at a joint news conference here after what a senior U.S. State Department official described as difficult negotiations between the two countries.

Kyrgyzstan is now requesting additional payment for services and facilities provided to the roughly 1,000 troops who have been based here since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, plus an accounting of past funds paid to the Kyrgyz government that was ousted in the so-called Tulip revolution last March, the official said. Washington now pays between $40 million and $50 million per year.

U.S. officials had no immediate response to the Kyrgyz request. But as part of the deal, the United States has agreed to dispatch a technical team to Bishkek to discuss the past payments, large chunks of which some Kyrgyz officials say was pocketed by the family of their country's former leader.

[:"blue"] Wouldja look at that! Condi is able to get back an airbase.....with a bigger payment, of course... [/] tongue.gif

>>Kyrgyzstan<<

Well, the Bzerzinski doctrine. Hmmm. Grab a deal with Tajikistan, an easement right with Pakistan, --and we’re ready to Hoorah! smile.gif Just kidding.

>>Washington now pays between $40 million and $50 million per year.<<

Well, how about that. We’ve given Egypt over $50,000,000,000 in the last quarter century and 98% of the Egyptians either hate us or have an unfavorable opinion of us. Like,

what’s the return? At least, for a relatively paltry $50 million or so, we’ll get the use of an airbase in Kyrgyzstan --to support the Bzerzinski doctrine.

Sometimes, the chips will fall the right way.
