THE United States must be prepared to take the War on Terror to up to 60 countries if weapons of mass destruction are to be kept out of terrorists’ hands, President Bush said at the weekend.

It may take more than 9 months to replace the hardware needed; the military is recovering from a president who expended much of our ordinance covering his tracks with Monica, and other things.

Monica, the face that launched (and wasted) a thousand missiles.
