&lt;i&gt;&quot;rusty has openly stated that he wants the US to fail, since the country is not following his dictates. rusty wanted the mission to end badly&quot;&lt;/i&gt;.
.
You nutballs crack me up.  Please show when I have EVER said I wished the country to fail?  Do I want OBAMA&#039;S POLICIES TO FAIL.  You can bet your sweet A$$ on that for sure!!  But with the current trend in policy from Obama, my wishing will not have a single iota to do with it.  Obama will do it all by himself.
.
But this only proves one thing.  Satire from the right dare not be uttered.  But, satire from the left as with all things from the left should never be challenged.  GO F@ck yourselves!!!</description>

		<description>I think that we could avoid most of these poverty-driven sticky situations by strategically increasing our foreign aid budget.  The Borgen Project has good info on the estimated cost of ending global poverty:

$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.

$550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.</description>
