I think the Tories should counter by saying, "Yes, these plans are ancient, moreover the US doesn't need any plans today other than `Waltz right in.' given the state the Liberals have left our military."
Just zot them! Zot them!!!
Oh, and welcome to FreeRepublic. I see you got a 2005 sign-on date at the very last minute.

Yes, and after Mexico gets Texas and Oklahoma it will also move right.
Rule number one of warfare, use overpowering force.(;-)
Wow, you win the prize for the dumbest, most ignorant illogical
I've heard so far.
Yah, Liberals are a pain in the ass, but the lind of stupidity
you come out with helps create Liberals.
I'm convinced that you made up the story about our kids giving
American kids a rough time about Iraq. Prove me wrong and I'll
apologize, but until then I'll think you're lying.
Tell us what you heard someone say that they heard from
someone else that our kids said to American kids.
If you can't tell us, then STFU about Canada, cause you ain't
earned the right to bash us..
Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!
What?, you don't understand the link between giving the
ChiComs several hundred $$BILLION per year in trade surpluses
and their ability to develop economic and military superpower
status?????
Wow, I didn't realize the U.S. public school system was THAT pathetic..
* 100 million people who go to Wal-Mart every week.
*$288 billion in annual sales make Wal-Mart's own economy bigger than nations like Sweden and Israel. "If Wal-Mart were an individual economy, it would rank as China's eighth-biggest trading partner, ahead of Russia, Australia and Canada," according to the spokesman for Wal-Mart China.
*Wal-Mart bought $18 billion worth of products from China in 2004.
Implications for Foreign Policy
Does all of this have implications for U.S. foreign policy? Of course. Just typing "wal-mart" into the search line on the U.S. State Department Web site returns a ton of references. They include documents on corporate responsibility and trade with Africa, India and other parts of the world.
It would be impossible for any government to ignore the needs of its largest private employer and largest importer. And, just to make sure they are heard, Wal-Mart makes regular conributions to political campaign funds.
The problems arise when the corporate interests conflict with national interests. Wal-Mart (like other businesses) benefit from illegal labor, but the government has an
interest in regulating immigration. The government has an interest in lowering the American trade deficit with China, but Wal-Mart has an interest in raising it.
"The US is not threatened by folks who shop at Walmart." If you can't figure it out ,well, that's your problem.
In the meantime,
Continue to support Walmart , Please , Like a lot of us who live in this poor excuse for a country, I own their stock :)
Actually I'm going to sell my American stocks , while the getting is good....
