There is not one thing in the far east that is worth the life of a single American soldier.

Fortress America it is then. Well, at least you're consistent.

Might I venture to say that a four-way nuclear-armed standoff between China, South Korea, Japan and North Korea might not be an optimal outcome?

Radioactive dust drifts even into the Fortress, don'tcha know...

But none of this has anything to do with Iraq.
You remember Iraq.
This song's about Iraq!

And we got twenty-four 8x10 color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what it is...

Technically, in a standoff, no one fires.

Right, Iraq...what happens after Iraq? How long are American troops going to be stationed there? A month? A year? Forever? I'd put my money on the last.

And of course, we still have two-thirds of the Axis of Evil; how are we going to deal with them?

THAT's my whole problem with this (and it was my problem with Clinton's efforts in the Balkans): the goals are ill-defined, there is no exit strategy and there are only vague long-term plans. It's an open-ended war.
