       I specifically mentioned the FDA hands out Orphan drug status...
       and that is and should continue... this will allow drug
       companies to continue to innovate and create new drugs. The
       problem is drugs that dont require such status, that no longer
       cost so much to produce or require more research are still sold
       at those prices in the US but no where else in the world. why?

       Because the goal of business is to turn a profit.

       They are still turning a profit while operating in those
       countries... do you think they are giving their drugs away in
       belize and then making up for it here?
       If they were losing money selling those drugs down there... they
       simply wouldnt do business there.

       Not what I said. Not even close. I've stated multiple times on
       multiple occasions that there is plenty to criticize.
       I just got done saying that in hindsight, Iraq was a mistake.
       I didn't even bother to read the rest of that diatribe because
       that straw man statement is so intellectually dishonest.
       Boots on the ground or no in Libya is not the point. This
       President campaigned on his insistence that we had no right to
       enter into any military action without Congressional approval.
       This President campaigned on his insistence that we had no
       attacking/invading sovereign countries that did not pose a
       threat to the U.S.
       You can ignore the hypocrisy if you would like. He campaigned as
       the anti-Bush, he is nothing more than Bush's 3rd term with a
       liberal spending spree, and you are giving him kudos for it.

       Ofcourse you wouldnt read the rest of it... since it plainly
       points out Bush had contrary intelligence... and he simply
       choose to ignore it.
       Bestest president ever!

       You obviously can't debate it in a level-headed manner.
       I leave you to the juvenile slogans. Let me know when you're
       done.

       No problem debating in a lvl headed manner.
       to take a line out of the neocon lexicon. Libya is not a war...
       so no congressional approval required. this is a door the bush
       administration opened... and every executive from here forward
       will take advantage of it. Once there are boots on the ground
       its a different story...
       I'm agreeing with you that GWB is the bestest ever... Well not
       you Boat.

       You'll have to explain this to me. My understanding is that GWB
       had congressional approval;

       It is also my understanding that this President made clear that
       ANY military action/attack needs to be approved by Congress.

       Last 3 or 4 sentences answering Question #10 are a hoot too.
       Czar was a 4-letter word to candidate Obama.
