Last night I was quite vociferous in my defence of the U.S. as a democratic state which believes in equality and free speech. But they’re really not helping me, are they?

This story about U.S. troops being deployed in the “Homeland” should scare the bejesus out of anyone left of Bush or with a deep sun tan…

I was thinking of the 3/4/5 star guys. I've been told by people that ought to now that they have done quite a bit to restrain the real, politically appointed, loonies in the White House and Pentagon.

Yeah, those guys were once the unit commanders and majors. Perhaps the not-brightest-ones get the stars, but they all seem to have some measure of horse sense.

A nuke attack on Iran? Did the Bush govt. WANT to precipitate the end of the world?

Would love to know how that idea got loose in the Oval Office.

As it was told to me the blocking forces had moved to the Iraq/Iran border, the planes were in the air, the warships were in the gulf, the codes had been issued but CINCCCOM refused to issue the order to proceed.

Am I allowed to ask who told you?

I can't tell you but I have every reason to believe him. Certainly he moves in circles where such things are known.
