It is a page turner. This thread of over 20,000. It has about 50 authors, and each chapter is exciting. I have to say, however, that it is starting to get outside the box a bit too much.
If you folks want to be clancy, you have to keep it real.
I will say this, there is a 1000 times better chance of AQ hitting us with a "suitcase" nuke than there is of the Russians striking us during their exercises! (Of course, since 1000 times 0 is still zero -- I suppose we can all sleep well tonight.)
Kudos to the poster on the 1961 Commie Manifesto. Good stuff.
I know the thread is losing its luster a bit when we have posters citing unanmed family and relatives with knowledge of our national defense!
Well, maybe we can ressurect the cold war before November. It seemed to help Republicans anyway.
I am going home for tonight. I look forward to the next chapter of the "Empire strikes Back" tomrrow.

Iron Eagle, I like your sense of humor. Yes, this thread does read like a good "who done it" novel, or more precisely "who's gonna do it" novel. Perhaps that is why some of us here enjoy it. It's like that old saying "it's a mystery wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a enigma", and we are enjoying trying to figure it out.

I agree with you on that one. Personally I am more concerned about what is slowing brewing in South America. Not that I am expecting anything coming at us from S.A. soon. But things down there are slowly churning and stewing in the wrong direction, IMO.
