#1 There is a lot of trouble out there but at this Christmas I feel confident that we have good men and women at the helm. We've been lucky. It could easily have been different in 2004. We need to work harder so as to continue to deserve the blessings we have.

#2 rib-eye steak, lobster, crab legs, Cornish game hens and all the seasonal fixings

But will there be a Plastic Turkey(TM)? (see tim blair for discussion)

Seriously, a good PR and MWR move. Especialy after seeing all the defeatism on the TV.

Sec. Rumsfield "Grinning widely" can be an alarming prospect--for a dictator.

To all at Rantburg--I wish you all a pleasant Christmas/Haunaka/Solstice/whatever holiday.

#3 I think my original submission was misunderstood ("No Christmas Pig Meat For US Troops.") What caught my attention was that traditional Christmas ham appears to be absent from the menu. Shellfish was served, so it wasn't out of respect for Jewish sensibilities. I just wonder what we expect to teach Muslims about pluralism by obediently dhimmifying our every move -- or what message we send to, say, Chaldeans.
