I WILL!

We do in mine(RC). But then my Deacon is retired USAF, like me.
Deep sigh. It is indeed a closed issue for the RC and Orthodox. Just because Joan and others yammer about it - all they get is face time on MTP. The Church cannot change this.
"I found it amusing that he stated categorically that the President and the Pentagon were not doing any planning for a military option against Iran."
"It is possible (just possible) that he meant "planning" in the sense of "intending to" and not in the Pentagon sense of coming up with plans for every cockeyed scenario."
But I combine 'planning' and 'intending to' together.
I take for granted President Bush is involved in 'war planning' with the Pentagon. I also take for granted President Bush knows we may very well need to 'go into' Iran. Also this is even bigger than 'just Iran' who was included in President Bush's the "Axis of Evil"
the following is John Bolton 2002
BCC News "US expands 'axis of evil"
"In a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil", US Under Secretary of State, John Bolton said that the three nations could be grouped with other so-called "rogue states" - Iraq, Iran and North Korea - in actively attempting to develop weapons of mass destruction.
He also warned that the US would take action.
"America is determined to prevent the next wave of terror," he said, referring to the 11 September attacks in Washington and New York that killed up to 3,000 people.
"States that sponsor terror and pursue WMD (weapons of mass destruction) must stop. States that renounce terror and abandon WMD can become part of our effort, but those that do not can expect to become our targets," he said.
Mr Bush first referred to the "axis of evil" during his State of the Union address earlier this year.
Threat 'underplayed'
Mr Bolton, speaking to the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing political think-tank, also accused Libya of continuing in its attempts to obtain nuclear weapons.
However he singled out Cuba for particular criticism, saying that the country's threat to the US was consistently "underplayed".
"(Cuba) has at least a limited offensive biological warfare research and development effort (and has) provided dual-use technology to other rogue states," he said.
Mr Bolton did not indicate that any direct form of military action would be imposed on such countries.
He said the US would primarily concentrate on working with other countries such as China and Russia - "unquestionably the two largest sources of proliferate behaviour internationally" - to prevent the continued dissemination of such weapons, Reuters reported.
The US would also work on smashing the financial networks, suspect shipments and front companies that laundered money for the purchase of such weapons, he said. "
When I look at all this it makes me wonder why were the Democrats so against John Bolton going to the UN.
Makes me wonder why President Bush has not had one week without the Dems and the Drive By Media on his back with very organized attacks!!
Makes me wonder about the Democrats who say - ' we are losing in Iraq'.
Congresswoman Katherine Harris called me this evening about another matter.
She mentioned that thread and said again how much she appreciated her Finest Birthday Party!
Thanks for letting us know I am sure Dolly will be thrilled.
OK, I am on holiday tomorrow so I can get the ribbons up before I prepare the dose.

Well Dodd proves himself an idiot. The Sec Defense services at the bidding of the President. GW Bush is President until Jan 2009. Rummy will be Sec Defense until 2009. The rest of the General's hissy fit is just Junk Media self abuse.
