Agreed (although December 1979 would have been an even better time to have done it)...

Take heart, the enemy will also be confused and won't know what hit them.

Just posted this...the Air Force may be thinking about Valentines....:

Air Force's role in Iraq could grow

***********************************

******************AN EXCERPT *************************

Thomas G. McInerney, a retired Air Force lieutenant general who advocates military strikes in Iran, said U.S. planes along the border could be better used to keep bomb-making materials out of Iraq.

"We know they are doing this. Why do we accept it?" McInerney said. "For every [improvised explosive device] that goes off in Iraq, a bomb should go off in Iran."

A vision of Hagel & Pelosi poking the tires of a B1 with ice picks popped into my head when I read that.

I should really get to bed before Murtha & Kerry join them....;~)

For every car bomb, every IED explosion or any attack on our military in Iraq there should be the complete destruction of a military base in both Syria and Iran until there are none left.

I understand that would be very very hard to do as Iran has so many nuclear sites all over.

You poor soul, don't you know..the American Civil Liberties Union is not about civil liberty for all, only the minorities. The international court and the human rights groups are there only to serve those who fit their global agenda.

Good points. No matter what level of evil our enemy slips to he receives no disfavor from the MSM and Democrats who are more concerned with turning their venom on Bush.

Nothing is hard when it comes to the US military, you should have more trust in the power of our US military.
