#1 Here we go again, just like with Clinton. Transition team and staffers blocking or dictation to commanders. The Commander in Chief should talk to his commanders and not let some snot nosed staffer tell him how to do his job. Next thing we know it will be the Clintons all over again with the Generals not allowed in the White house in uniform....

#2 FREEREPUBLIC > STUDYING THE ISLMAIC WAY OF WAR + IRAN NEARS A NUKE DECISION. Among other, it is considered okay under Muslim/Islamic military traditions to break any and all formal agreements, pacts, etc. iff it BUYS TIME FOR MUSLIM FORCES/ARMIES TO REARM AND GROUP, AND UNDERTAKE A POTENT OR SUCCESSFUL NEW MILITARY OFFENSIVE AT A LATER OPPORTUNE TIME, NORMALLY ABOUT 10 YEARS.

Ergo, by the above Article 2009 + approxi 10 Years = Year 2019 for a new Islamist efort to retake IRAQ, etc. HOWEVER, I DOUBT IT WILL BE TEN YEARS AS THE JIHAD CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.

* Lest we fergit, YEAR 2019 > close to Year 2018 and RUSSIA's "WAR IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT DESIRED" ANTI-US WAR.

The good news is that a DOOMSDAY COMET [break up = pieces?] WILL CRASH INTO EARTH IN 2012, ala TOPIX + OTHER.
