Paul is an idiot. I live in his district and he won't even support bills to help the people who live here. He lets his personal views get in the way of representing his voters. He has really turned into laughingstock here, but the power of incumbency has kept him in office.
This is true. Why would someone get a degree in something that is being outsourced to India or China? Kids today do read about these mass layoffs. My degree is not in CS, but I am working on a degree in information assurance, not programming.
From the recent CNN profile of rummy, he was trying to do to the military what he and others have been doing in the corporate world, use just barely enough resources to get the job done and use up your people. That just doesn't work in war. You have to occupy territory to win. There is no way around that. You can't do that with an American corporate mentality.
I had a teacher in high school who was a Vietnam vet and he said they would be told to take a hill, then leave it. Then the enemy would reoccupy it and they would have to fight their way up it again - over and over. Sound familiar? This is what the lack of troops is doing in Iraq. Either flood the country with U.S. troops, be prepared to occupy it for several years until things calm down, or start to withdraw the troops.
