I understand that, Chuck. And like I said, I was NOT trying to be a
smart ass, either. But I think we all pretty well established back on
9/11 that unlike the last Gulf War, this time there is the potential for
domestic terrorism hitting us before we even leave the country, and any
equipment they can stop here is that much less they face there. So
while they DO know we're coming, all I was saying is let's not help plot
out the road map we're using to get there. And as far as the Commie
News Network is concerned, well, I would LIKE to think that even those
on this list who most disagree with the impending war and GW Bush, are
still FAR more loyal to our troops to lower ourselves to the level of
Ted Turner's voyeristic spawn. But while we can't expect the "free"
press to actually consider the safety of those fighting to keep them
free (God forbid!), we can at least be responsible for our own actions.
That was my only point, Chuck, even though I know that you are right
about them "knowing we are coming" already.
