Currently sans net for awhile... will post something irritating as soon as the box is fixed... sorry!

Abe, Sounds like you need a visit to Montreal... Oh, and FWIW - obviously I was trying to be controversial. Sure got a whole buttload of responses, didn't I?

Shinseki was also concerned more with letting the Army wear black berets then he was with providing troops with proper training and equipment. Whoops, all of a sudden, we're at war, and the Army isn't battle-ready! Hrm... Full martial law (mandatory curfews, control of all movement, minor...

Merbs - This is the only board I know of for this topic... I've heard about other boards out there; it's also been implied that they suck and this one rocks. What's the story?

WARNING: This is NOT light reading. Takes a bit of time to digest. But if you're up for it, check out: www.thomaspmbarnett.com This is the website of the guy who wrote "The Pentagon's New Map" in Esquire a few years back. Interesting reading, even if you don't agree with it. Useful for...

So, let's see... I'm new to the board, didn't read the entirety of this thread, and I'm going to post about politics. I must really want people to hate me! All the bantering aside, I don't think it's so much that the religious right came out for the election that made the difference. It...
