#1 Okay, I added "effectively calling him senile, Troofer moron", but when the shoe fits... am almost sure that Gates was thinking it. ;-)

#5 Well yes and no. We are in the middle-east because of oil security, that is a fact. You think we are engaged there since the 20's because of a lack of sand or camels in America? The oil is a two way street. We need it since our pols won't allow us to drill for it where we have it now. The other side is we buy with greenbacks and then sell engineering, construction, technology, F-16's etc. to get some of it back. But Allan is an economist not a quartermaster. He can only look at things in terms of supply and demand. Everything is for sale and everybody wants to buy. But he misses the whole Neo-con policy of pre-emptive aggression to protect our own assets. I guess though that by pontificating such it will put him at number 1 on NYT's book sales. Lone Survivor is still holding its own which is kind of weird knowing where most readers of the NYT's are coming from.
