NEW YORK, Aug 19 (Reuters) – General Motors Co (GM.N) is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit over a suspension problem on more than 400,000 Chevrolet Impalas from the 2007 and 2008 model years, saying it should not be responsible for repairs because the flaw predated its bankruptcy.

US troops may stay in Afghanistan until 2024

America and Afghanistan are close to signing a strategic pact which would allow thousands of United States troops to remain in the country until at least 2024, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

The War To End All Wars Continues

My father, a student in Washington at the time, led Catholics for Wilson — “We want Wilson, one time more! We want peace, we don’t want war!” But Cardinal Gibbons, aware of the unfortunately widespread anti-Catholic sentiment in the US, feared that Catholic opposition to the war would brand Catholics as “unpatriotic.” As though we loved our country more than our government? No, that we were more loyal to “Rome” than to Wilson.

Maybe I’m a hopeless cynic.

BUT, (and there is always a BIG butt), I think that “We, The Sheeple” have been being hoodwinked by the effete elite for a very long time.

Wilson ran as a supposed “peace candidate” and, once firmly ensconced in power, took the USA to war.

When do “We, The Sheeple” wake up?

In history class, we learned about the “Hundred Years War”. How can a war go on for 100 years?

Now look at Korea?

Now look at Germany?

Why?
