    they don't need nuclear missiles to take out the U.S. bases in Iraq.  Our warfighters are sitting ducks.  Besides, I suspect that the missile defense they want to set up isn't going to be any good against "in coming" from next door.

    I can't imagine why Gates took the trouble to piss off the Air Force yesterday. (sorry for the non-sequitur)

    How do you tell a predator from a protector? The predator will eat you sooner rather than later.

        I need to work on clarifying when I'm presenting some other perspective than my own.

        The missile/radar installations in Iraq have been a great concern to me because there was never any way, even if the Iraqis were totally welcoming, that Russia and China were going to put up with fourteen or six USAF bases on the southern edge of Asia.
        The hubris of the Central Command and the gigantic spy installation in the "embassy" is just unbelievable--that someone would think that would be accepted.  Because they put up with the lumbering ICBMs in Turkey?
