#1 Last chance huh?? One has to wonder if they are going to be as stupid as SO Dam was. I guess the rest of the world still hasn't gotten it into their heads that this Bush is unlike any prez we have had since Teddy Roosevelt. He actuallly means it when he says "or else"

#2 I was wondering whether any troops left in the U.S. for another war. I thought the military was prepared for a 2-war strategy: being prepared to fight two major wars at once. Now, it seems the U.S. doesn't have enough resources even for a single war (A congressional study showed that the US army lacks the active-duty troops to sustain the occupation past next March without either receiving help from other countries, calling on other services and reserves, or spending vastly more money).

It seems to me that the war in Iraq doesn't help the U.S. in diplomatic front against Iran or N.Korea - the stick is too short.

#3 The Iranians aren't nearly as much fun as the NK loonies for threatening us.

#4 The NORKS are totally isolated and produce nothing but some weapons for nutcases to buy. Sorry, I forgot the juche and the famous White Slag, and the tunneling expertise. The Iranians are a heavy duty oil producer with lots of cash to give jihadi misery away, read Hizbollah.

I have a feeling that GW and Rumsfeld are holding back troops because they see something coming up, or a contingency for NORK or Iran in the somewhat near future.

#5 Also, Iran is probably a major buyer for NK. Buy taking them out of the picture, we would greatly reduce the money that NK has for his already decaying military.

#6 You know the Black Hats will be arrogant, non-responsive, and haughty - they have learned nothing since coming to power except how to brutalize kids on the street and accumulate personal wealth. The case is already made, now, for whatever Dubya & Coâ¢ decide to do.

I eagerly anticipate The Fucking of The Black Hats. K-Y is optional.
