| #6 Now, now, what worries would those be? * FREEREPUBLIC > WND - AYATOLLAH [Khameini] SEES NEW GLOBAL "MAHDI" ARMY: CALLS ON MUSLIMS TO UNITE UNDER THE COMING ISLMAIC MESSIAH [ + defeat iff notdestroy Israel + USA]??? The closer IRAN, etc. is to DE FACTO NUCLEARIZATION, the MORE INTENSIVE WILL BE THE ISLAMISTS' MILACTIONS. OLD DREAM/VISION > The USA is already begun its force downsizing. Radical Islam must still engage and destroy a MAJOR US ELITE FORCE [ e.g. US ARMY-MARINES UNIT vee "DECISIVE BATTLE"]. E.g. CHOSIN, KHE SANH, ........ |

| #3 People are so concerned with style over substance. We could have cleaned out the ME a long time ago if we were actually allowed to take a few skull trophies and go guns blazing. Instead we have a bunch of overly queesy pencil pushers running a war. We need a real brute in charge that doesnt care about all that. |

| #2 Interesting that Adm. Mullen fires Gen. McKiernan who reports to Gen Petraeus and Petreus' only action is to "agree" with Gates and Mullen. Very adroit. |

| #1 This sounds a lot like, "We don't care if you win, we just want you to look good." McChrystal has his work cut out for him. |
