Thread: Who got paid off on this one?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/...840186493/1001

Does anyone in Washington have a shred of common sense? Or is our whole country for sale?

I wonder what former congressman/political hack made a mint setting this deal up.

Oh my gosh! Does the present administration bear any of the blame here? Or for the "mistaken" sale to Taiwan of nuclear fuses (did I say that right, or is it pronounced "new-clear"?).

Golly gee- it couldn't be the fault of the Republican "poor excuse for a president" who currently inhabits the White House, could it?

Nah--must be the fault of those libs....

bwaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those detonators were not sold.
4 were shipped accidentally to taiwan.
4 were sent back.
Upon close inspection, it was determined that none have been tampered with.

Sure it is embarrasing like hell. especially after 6 nukes were flown across the US without the army knowing they were gone. but let's not find a conspiracy behind it. Bush may be an ass but not everything is his personal fault.

Sucks to be you. Not everything is Bush's fault. I'm fairly certain he had no knowledge of the sale, shipment, or anything else concerning this transaction until it made the news. I'll agree that Bush hasn't been a great president; how much must it hurt that he still beats you libs at everything. If he's dumb, what does that make Pelosi and Reid...or even better, the guy your cult nominated to run against him last time?
You don't have to like him. Most of the time, I don't, but I'm not so juvenile that I don't know everything's not his fault. Here's a hint, most people don't follow the liberal agenda (free, community supported everything), and the sooner you guys stop behaving as if everyone who doesn't agree with you is some hick backwater redneck, you might actually get people to listen to your proposals. Just a thought. You can be so open minded your brain falls out.

This country was sold a long time ago. And as far as i can see there is very little difference between left and right, i believe they have merged.

If you are talking government I tend to agree with this statement! If you are talking the common people, I believe the majority are good, decent hard working people who don't have the time to get involved enough to really understand what is going on around them, or have just given up hope in the political process and the politicians that run and promise us the moon, only to get elected and then only look after their own interests and behind!

No ,the outsourcing of the passports was authorized by congress,which happens to be controlled by the Democrat party

Often those same common folk end up running for office and become the very thing they complained about before. Power corrupts
