Has any one thought that he might have suffered a mental problem? Maybe the stress caused him to break. Talking strange and leaving his rifle and other gear behind doesn't sound rational to me.

Oh, now I understand. We will conduct an internet pol. We could enter the prisoner's sex, race, religion, political belief, age, etc. Then we could enter what he is worth for his return in dollars, hostages, enemy prisoners, etc. After a set time we could tally up the v**es and let the majority of respondents decide if we rescue him or not.

Answer the question. Would you or would you not rescue a US serviceman from captivity if you had the power?

Let me get this straight. You would not do what ever you could to insure the return of a US serviceman from captivity? This President or any other President should be congratulated on this serviceman's return to the USA after 5 years in captivity.

Better yet let's trade draft dodger O'Reilly, Medvick, 6 deferment Cheney, 7 deferment Mitt and the rest of the Republican Band of Cowards that got us into this mess.

I seem to remember that Bush 43 released about 500 people from Gitmo. Does this make him a Muslim?

As a former infantry grunt in another war, my question is how much does Skyhook feel an american solider is worth? I did not know that prior to a rescue or swap that an american solider is to be evaluated on his political beliefs, religion, liking or disliking the war, etc. are to be factored in the evaluation whether he is worthy of rescue.

I seem to remember that the minimum wage was increased during Bush 41's term and also by the Republican controlled congress during Clinton's term. Seems that we had job creation then.

let's review the bidding on the Keystone Pipeline. A Canadian Company gets to t***sport oil across the US and export it from Texas to Europe and reap Billions of dollars in profit. They are allowed to take land from from American citizens. They will not be responsible if a major oil spill happens. They will not be required to sell the oil to us.

In turn we get a few temporary construction jobs and a potential environmental disaster.

Why didn't the Canadian Oil Company build the line West to the their port in Canada? Are they afraid of the potential danger?

New to this site. After completion of the Keystone pipeline will the American see a $20 reduction in the price of oil. Or,will the Canadian Oil firm pocket the $20?
