#1 looks like UN tollerance over the past decades has caused half the bloody world to get into the WMD club. I see the need for a new weapon for America,i once read about metastablised spin Hydrogen bomb or something like that.It was said to be as or if not more power full then a normal Nuke but have no fallout or radiation effects.Don't know what happened to it,maybe it went into the black or was just conjecture among weapons scientists at the time. I don't know just seems like nukes are getting abit commen place now,everyone an thier gran owns them.a spaced based laser constellation of satilites would be a pretty awesome weapon system.Zaping planes,tanks ,people and boats and shit from high in space

#2 Mo in Libya may have been daffy, but he saw the handwriting on the wall and adapted to the new reality.

If the Iranian mullahs or Bashar Assad fall, this mindset can only grow stronger among those regimes that remain. The trick is to step up the pressure a notch or two....

B-A-R----That is the right idea. We have been wildly successful in the WoT.
1. Sammy is jugged and the Iraqi Baathists have been booted out.
2. Sammys money for attacking Israel is dried up.
3. Sammys oil spigot to Syria is off.
4. Afghanistan is slowly being improved
5. Libya has renounced WMD and is actually cleaning up its act.
6. Kimmie is making noise, but he is on the defensive.
7. Al Q is split into smaller pieces and is on the defensive.

Unfortunate the LLL and the press is spinning this into the Disaster of the Century, and an asshat in Spain gave away his farm.

The LLL needs a smackdown as they are trying to disrup the war effort. The only time I see that happening is after the Nov election, if Bush gets reelected. Al Q is on the ropes, and all they can do in Iraq is to blow up civilians. In Europe they boom trains. If Europe gets agressive and kicks some ass then al Q is finished. If they do not, it makes our job twice as hard and causes more casualties for us, which is a crime.
