#3 A carrier group in the eastern med, two in the gulf, and lots of armor and infantry on the Iraq/Syria border should clarify their minds wonderfully...

#4 This is the time I wish we had a couple of battleship groups to cruise up and down the coast of Lebanon - in close, so the population could see them. I'm sure the sight of three or four of the Big Boys would give Nasrallah a cold shiver or three... The capability of a weapon isn't JUST in its capacity to deliver firepower. Sometimes, just existing can change "hearts and minds".

#5 Problem is, they don't beleive we have the strength of mind to actually use such things against them, Old Patriot. They read it as similar to waving AK-47s and making faces.

#6 CNN this morning [Guam time] > Dubya has warned Iran that the USA will respond firmly iff Iran escalates its support for the insurgency in Iraq; plus that that Iran is trying to influence and control the region politically [proxies?] as well as economically. OTOH, CNN > curr polls > claim to indicate that Dubya is a "lame duck" POTUS as far as Amer are concerned, one whose Admin is mostly "over". POLLS < Dubya remains a POTUS whose policies are influenced by his personal = religious beliefs, NOT by "the Facts"!?
