All of the blowhards who claim to have psychic power cannot find the
downed plane of world famous Steve Fossett.

Just like there are few if any good pics of UFO's, there are no really
true blue psychics because finding Fossett would make any one of them
extremely famous if they came forward with the info. If they did not
want the fame, they could at least forward his location, but no
psychic can do that.

Someone wrote: "And what hasn't been reported yet is the fact that Bush made a
pact with the oldest and wealthiest drug cartel on the planet -- Queen Elizabeth
and her family -- that in exchange for British participation in his so-called
"War on Terror", Bush made a pact with Tony Blair in 2001 that we would not mess
around with the British empire's control of opium and heroin that they've
managed since the first British ship first landed in China under Queen
Elizabeth's grandfather."

Well, well! It seems to me that not everyone in DEA is a Neanderthal after all.
Apparently, there is one bright boy in DEA who has either happened onto or
figured out a reality that only a few people on our planet knows.

Veterans / Memorial Day Poem #20, A Long And Lonely Night

It was in the darkness of the night surrounding me,
That the loneliness of the moments cradled my emotions.
Visions of events that for so long I have sheltered,
Focused on my mind with the clarity of a fresh cut diamond.
A crimson red light seemed to create a misty image,
And within this image was the horror of the cursed Nam'.
It's immediate presence overwhelmed my thoughts,
And her hunger for my feelings took possession of me.

The screams and pain of the war I had fought seem so real,
And the moment brought me back to complete participation.
In an instant of disbelief,
I realized that I was not in control,
The Nam' was replaying her horrid memories in my mind.

I relived many emotional moments during that night,
And when the perspiration stopped, the tears instantly took over.
I shook for what seem to me like an eternity in time,
Then I awoke to realize that I was at home,
safe... or was I.

A Vietnam War veteran's experience
Complete text online

Abraham Lincoln made famous these words:

"The victor writes the history of the war."

An unknown war veteran made truthful these words:

"The first rule of war has always been that war cannot be declared
won until the invading foot soldier subdues his enemy and
verifies all resistance has been completely eliminated."

Phill Coleman, Vietnam veteran, added these words:

"If the above time and experience proven rule is still
considered valid, then America, indisputably, lost the
war in Vietnam. "
-- Phill Coleman, Author

Preventive care plan omits Tricare for Life
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2008/05/military_tricare_preventivecare_050708w/

Budgetary rules forced a House subcommittee to take the unprecedented
step of creating a new Tricare preventive health care program that does
not apply to 1.5 million for Medicare-eligible retirees and their
families in the Tricare for Life program.

Rep. Susan Davis, D-Calif., chairwoman of the House Armed Services
military personnel panel, said the plan, approved Wednesday as part of
the 2009 defense authorization bill, is aimed at cutting the military’s
long-term health care costs by providing preventive care.

The personnel portion of the defense policy bill, approved by voice vote
and with no debate, includes:

• A 3.9 percent military pay raise.

• Increases in Army and Marine Corps active-duty personnel and in Army
National Guard and Army Reserve support personnel on full-time active duty.

• A tuition assistance program for military spouses.
