I'm not a financial whiz, but his statement reaks of disbelief. Its like telling someone its all right to have venereal disease when all the pain and suffering is over. It is going to cost millions of dollars to transport troops, logistic and other equipment to new assignment areas. Pointer George didn't tell you that nor did he mention the actual breakdown of cost to accomplish the relocation.
Secondly, ammunition/rocket hauling, etc., is specialized transportation and isn't cheap as well. The government also pays mileage to new assignments for all personnel which is another cost factor and let's not forget the cost of shipping ditty bags on to the next post.
Most importantly, however, there is always collusion to transport important items from the NCO and Officer clubs to the next base. These are vital necessities like the General's nude sculpture in front of the chaplain's office. There will be millions spent just for miscellaneous transportation alone.
It would be wise to contact your local senator or representative to inquire of the total loss to the community as compared to the total amount spent for the military to leave. Secondly, ask for the total cost factor to restablish at the next base and somehow computer a factor for this.
It would be extremely interesting to find statistics like this to show the BRAC committee since no one wanted to talk about the cost of moving down the road>>Walter Reed to Bethesda.
Then we add the total amount saved from closing/realignments and subtract the total outlay for relocation. It should be interesting-then we can have George Bush read it on television from the oval office.

More evidence turned up today of military authorities dissing the Koran. Definitive material depicting a Sergeant throwing a Koran on the floor and grinding it with his boot. Too bad Pointer George wasn't there to watch and then deny the denial with the denial. Regardless, its sick and the enlisted will pay as they always do. SecDOD Rumsfeld issued a statement decrying the actions of a few and I should reply with a letter of censure regarding his creating this tense atmosphere with his infamous all prisoners are terrorists therefore they have no rights BS. He and Pointer George need to answer for their actions before a congressional committee.

The Commander, US Air Force Academy, released a statement of committment towards equality of all religions at that institution. That means all New Age Christians will have to go to the back of the line for two days; and then return to the front where they can minister to Jews, Buddhists, Atheists, Gays, Barney, The Teletubbies and Oral Roberts. Its a big disaster due to the Commander, a General, becoming reborn and adding all his aposltyzing messages to everything; and naturally, little lemmings went for to multiply his word. Not a good sign.

Hold on to your seat....ready???----Baa Baa Ann Coulter seems to be toning down her drivel. Its twue, Its twue.....I read her last two columns and they were pleasantly mediocre to plasmatic. Wonder if she was instructed to tone down and is merely trying to concentrate on mind altering drugs? Either way, she was go the path of many others to the woodshed for a comeuppance>probably with the ghost of Everett Dirksen.

I have to give Angelina Jolie credit for being a classy lady. Saw her being interviewed by some schmuck named Dr. Dave who asked some pretty crass questions. Ms. Jolie more than held her ground and further elaborated her private life was hers; and no one else's. When ask of Brad Pitt, Ms. Jolie complimented his acting and then asked if there was anything else regarding her good friend. Classsssssyyyyyyy.

Now for the not so classy, Dianna Ross is talking about a music tour again, but can she leave the state due to her DUI convictions. She still has one going in Arizona after boondoggling confinement in Connecticut close to her home. Problem was it was a typical sign in-sign out when you feel like it term which really didn't satisfy the law. Pluse Arizona law requires shrink visits, counseling, AA or similar group and the defendant foots the bill. Oh, Diana, perhaps you and Martha can model ankle bracelets together-come out with a whole new line.

Lastly, Condoleeza Rice was protested against today by a very savy group of people-Code Pink. Approximately 7 entered a hall where Ms. Rice was presented a lecture on fleecing Iraqi Money For More Big Business Ripoff. The Code Pink People slowly down their hoods and presented various live pictures from Abu Ghraib with appropriate litany. They were asked to leave by the police and spent about an hour at the station after being given misdemeanor citations. Ms. Rice, however, was vexed over the living art presented and had to ask several officials what it was supposed to be.
Brain Dead Tests (apnea) should be administered to all high level employees to determine if they are just there for the benefits, the money,.
Next time...
