While Vinni may be right, Bush would rather take care of places he cares about instead of giving a helping hand to some place he doesn't. He will never go out of his way to help the Liberal Michigan, no matter what the State does. And last time I checked the Governor of Michigan doesn't make Presidential decisions that effect our economy..

It's easy to say the State is responsible for everything, however before Bush was in office people were not living as hard as they are today...at least in the places I'm familiar with.
dude, I live in the most liberal state !!!!

Bush has come to New York state only once or twice since 9/11

he hates this state, and believe me, the state is STILL paying for damages and insurance claims since 9/11

My side of the state is broke...my city and county have a control board

My last police force was completely dissolved by the city in July 2005 (luckily I left in 2004 to a much more secure department) because federal and state money was gone...

this liberal state pays MORE than the 2 largest states in the union, California and Texas, in Medicaid and welfare COMBINED !!!!!!

couple with that, my county pays the highest taxes in the entire fucking nation

can't blame Georgie for this nonsense !!

mmh trying hard to make the correlation?

DC taxes are high because they have a lot of need in a greater metropolitan area, such as police, fire, and the road company. They have high taxes because of the massive amount of population jammed into the area, it is supposed to cause only the upper echelon of people to want to move in, not everybody, so DC does not get any dirtier.

Don't know if that makes sense, but, word.

Russia Agrees to Sell Missiles to Iran
Monday, December 5, 2005 7:21 PM EST
The Associated Press
By HENRY MEYER

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia has struck a deal to sell short-range, surface-to-air missiles to Iran, the defense minister said Monday, confirming reports that have raised concern in the United States and Israel.

Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov didn't give details. But Russian media have said that Moscow agreed in November to sell $1 billion worth of weapons to Iran, including up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems over the next two years.

"A contract for the delivery of air defense Tor missiles to Iran has indeed been signed," Ivanov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

"This unequivocally will not change the balance of forces in the region," Ivanov added. Tor M1 missiles are short-range, surface-to-air missiles already used by several other armed forces, including China.

The reports last week prompted expressions of concern from the U.S administration and Israel, which considers Iran to be its biggest threat. Israeli concerns recently were heightened after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged that Israel be "wiped off the map."

Top politicians in Israel have ratcheted up the tough talk against Iran, led by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called for a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear installations. Such a strike would be similar to a 1981 attack, ordered by then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin, that destroyed an unfinished Iraqi nuclear reactor.

"I will continue the tradition established by Menachem Begin, who did not allow Iraq to develop such a nuclear threat against Israel, and by a daring and courageous act gave us two decades of tranquility," Netanyahu told the daily newspaper Maariv. "I believe that this is what Israel has to do."

Interfax said the Tor-M1 system could identify up to 48 targets and fire at two targets simultaneously at a height of up to 20,000 feet.

On Saturday, an influential Iranian official played down the deal, telling the official Islamic Republic News Agency that Tehran has been trading arms with many countries and would continue to do so.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, without commenting on the reported missile sale, also said Saturday that all Russian weaponry supplied to Iran is purely for defensive purposes.

However, a senior Bush administration official, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the subject, said last week that any arms sale to Iran is a source of concern. The official would not say whether Russia had advised the United States of any negotiations with Iran.

The United States and Russia are supporting efforts by the European Union to persuade Iran to halt development of nuclear weapons in exchange for economic incentives, such as trade opportunities.

Russia, which has a long and lucrative relationship with Iran, has offered to try to resolve a key dispute by offering to enrich uranium for an Iranian civilian nuclear energy program as a safeguard against Iran using enrichment for weapons purposes.
thats just great...Russia is no friend of ours

there should be no doubt where these missiles will be deployed.....anywhere surrounding their "civilian" (yeah, right !!) nuclear reactor

I hope Israel bombs the fuck out of the reactor....those madmen in Iran should NEVER get a nuclear missile

Nobody should have a nuclear missile... This is really weird to say but the world misses the eastern block.
