And so what if the man is killed? Like that's going to stop the insurgency?:rolleyes: |
that's like saying, "What's the point of arresting that guy who sold crack to a 12 year old... like that's going to stop other people from selling to kids?" |

Problem is, who made us the policeman of the world? |

It works very well in South Korea, Kuwait, Germany, and a lot of places all over the world where we have a presence... just not so much in the middle east. Will it ever? Too early to tell but I'd wager probably not.
side note- did you get that job at the fed. reserve man???? |

South Korea, Kuwait, and Germany? Are you referring to the Korean War, the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, and the 3rd Reich? Korea was in a civil war. And Kuwait and Germany were issues of aggressor nations, which needed to be dealt with. Going after criminals in foreign countries? Completely different.
Nah with the Fed, I called 3 times, left messages, they neither answered their phones or returned my calls. I sent them my resume and a cover letter specifically to them. I'm going to call one last time on Monday. I dunno what their problem is. I'm gonna PM my cover letter to you, you let me know if it's impressive, because I think after reading it, they'd be stupid not to want to hire me. |

I just meant having a military presence in other places where it works out... obviously we aren't in those places in the same manner as when we first set up shop, and they don't look at us as occupiers.
But anyway, just read your cover letter. Yeah man it's nice... not sure why you can't get the courtesy of a return phone call. You know, that's what would piss me off more than anything; if you don't want to hire me, fine, but have the courtesy to give me 2 seconds of your time to tell me. Not suggesting you do this, but before I started doing what I'm doing now, if I was in a position like yours and wasn't getting the return phone call, even when it got to the point where I knew there was no chance of getting hired, I would still call back and request to speak with someone by name specifically (someone who makes decisions, NOT a secretary or go-between)every single day for a month if I had to... eventually they'll put you through just so you stop calling them. As long as you're polite and courteous every single time you call, you don't have to worry about tarnishing your name. Some bosses actually have an appreciation for the presistence, and if not, at least you were polite each time. I'd just calmly ask if I was still being considered and if not, thank them for the opportunity and ask if there's something in particular you can do to improve your resume. |

Yea, that sounds like a good idea. I'm going to call again Monday. I'm also going to call this financial advising company that I also sent my resume and cover letter to. I've call them 3 times, at least got a secretary, but never able to get to the man I want to speak to. Left a message, sent an email, no response. I'm going to hound them until they talk to me...:disbelief |

| Is that to Krypton, he expects a president like Obama, that he would think that he is smart enough to convince world leaders on the right things they should do. He has found that candidate, Obama! |

Me too, in principle at least. I don't believe in being cavalier about operations in Pakistan, but I'm glad the US finally has its eyes back on the ball. |
