Any serious attack requires moving mountains of supplies.

When we started shipping stuff to Saudi Arabia for Desert Storm I knew we were serious.

I read this book. It was really good.

It’s on the logistics buildup to Desert Storm.

And it takes months to move the hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies.

Speaking of presence in the region, whatever happened to that Task Force that was sailing toward Korea in the spring? It was watched breathlessly for a couple months, then faded away.

Raytheon makes the Tomahawk cruise missile. They've had a good run, but no more so than the market in general. If the market were,anticipating war, I think RTN would break out.
