#1 Duh. The last people you'd want to tell what you're up to are the French, Germans, or the Russians.
As Iraq has demonstrated, those people are not friends.

#3 "The preparations are already made..."

I dunno, the preparations would have to include positioning about 130,000 troops in a country that shared a border with Iran. Oh, wait...

#5 Yup. This is a woman who spent her childhood in the black middle class of Birmingham AL when that was a recipe for being lynched and harassed. She is the daughter of a black man who patrolled their streets, along with neighbors, carrying a shotgun to protect his family. And she herself definitely supports the right to keep and bear arms today. People like Boxer and Kerry aren't fit to shine her shoes.

Dr. Rice was also one of the most noted scholars who thought long and hard about dealing with the Soviets. There's a REASON Brent Scowcroft mentored her, Dick Cheney sponsored her and Stanford made her a provost at a ridiculously young age.
