On an Air Force Carrier pilots often consider the most dangerous portion of a mission landing on the carrier. That takes a great deal of skill and every flight puts their life at risk.
Before ground troops went into Iraq, the Air Force had the responsibility to make strategic military strikes to disrupt communications, Iraq command and control, and Iraq's ability to wage war. They did that without loss of life or the loss of aircraft. These men performed exceptionally well as did their support teams. These men made the ground invasion 100% easier. These men earned recognition from their Commander in Chief, the President. These men deserve the recognition of the American people. These men deserve the recognition of freedom loving Iraqi people and freedom loving people all over the world. They did their job, they did it well. "Mission Accomplished"!

I never said there wasn't. I am saying I did not care about that pressure. I am saying I would have let AIG fail. I am saying no one has ever given a reasonable explanation of why AIG needed to be bailed out rather than going into bankruptcy. The "just because" argument doesn't work for me.

at this point, i am so tired to going through your misrepresentations and flights into fantasy that i'm not wasting my time researching this. it happened, and for the reasons i noted. there is no debate about it.

I don't care if you are tired. You have given no serious reasons why AIG needed to be bailed out. Put your head back into the sand and get some rest.
