Hi All,
   Ok... I think that there are two quotos/mottoes that sum this up well....

    The first is the motto of the U.S.S. New Jersey (at least I think so) :
               Peace thru Superior Firepower

    And the second is one I saw on a t-shirt while on active duty during the
"Gulf War" (and yes I know that we haven't "declared ware since 1941!)
       The Infantry is the Diplomatic Corp's Janitorial Service

    and to quote my Brother-in-Law: "Brudder?, the Diplomatic Corp sure do
have a mess that needs cleanin' up"

Art "waiting to see which units get activated" Bahrs

Osama Bin Laden and other groups of terrorists.  This strategy never has and
never will work.

> We have not heard much from Qadaffi since the day we bombed the hell out
of him.
> Ignoring this attack will only invite more attacks, which will be more
severe.
