Back Atcha. i have never seen his thoughts about revamping the militaty. whered you find this at? for limited strikes this sounds good. im still on the fence as to Ron wanting to have done this. AQ has to be eliminated, period. the carrot was a bad idea. the stick is the only option now. i was not behind bush for going into iraq either. but the cards have fallen. it appears as our stratagy has been to allow them to infiltrate so we can kill them. okay, im all for that. just as long as their freinds there get hammered too. Ron Paul did say, " we need to leave iraq tommorrow ". that message did not sound like an intelligent person talking. we are now making good time with a poor plan. an exit now would be a slap in the faces of those of our military. another vietnam? no. there are no masses of military enemies sitting in the next valley. if iran were to try that, i would hope we would preemptive strike them while they are leaving their staging areas. btw, i am for his idea to reduce the fed governemnt by as much as possible. i have YET to figger out how to accomplish that goal while NOT upsetting the apple cart.
