I agree with 7MMAG6 and Shaun, it seems the stuff is nearing the fan and we may as well get ready. I think the blue hads will play a large role in this problem because it seems we just cannot seperate ourselves from the rule of a bunch of third world dictators. It is so plain to see, But, bush was our last hope. I thought when he told them to take thier small arms suggestions and stuff them, he would send the whole lot of them packin'. But, alas, bush has no balls or he is licking the boots of his masters. either way, and dispite what any of us think, I'm very sure we will see blue hats in America....it's only a matter of time. How we deal with the blue hats has yet to be determined....hopefully, we will kill them all before they rule us too.

it was the first Bush administration that reduced the active forces by 444,000, or 21 percent, in four years, unlike Clinton, who cut it only 16 percent over seven years.

And Clinton never ran off to Canada. He accepted a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University in England.

If you want to talk draft dodgers, let's discuss Cheney's FIVE deferments. No, let's not. I don't feel like getting into this nonsense again.

Draw downs and build ups are cyclic in the military. I'ts really no ones fault. It's just a way of doing business.

A side note: We spent 10% of the GNP during the cold war years. Today, firing real bullets, we spend 3%. There is room to grow there.

Chavez is probably referring to China, who would be happy to buy our 1.5 millions barrels per day, and then of course they would ship it through the Panama Canal, which we built and which China is also buying up. Americans are getting outbid all over the world for oil, iron ore and who knows what else. The economic war started a long time ago. Heilung

Troy, why do you keep pointing out facts. Facts are silly.

Hard habit to break, though.
