[Grovenet] first wood-stove heat of the season

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Of course! What's your point? 

I'm glad that Osama made the list, since he's the only actual threat the USA
has faced from that part of the world, although Iran is trying hard to join
him. 

But any member of the US military from commander to private who believes in
a military solution to Iraq and who isn't greatly concerned about the
choices any Democratic president will make has to be nuts. 

If the Dems don't blow this election (like the last) and we put a Democratic
President in office, that President will most likely run, not walk toward
the nearest exit from military involvement in Iraq. 

I can't imagine who in the military or the general public who believes we
should pursue a military victory in Iraq is happy with that prospect. 

I can't imagine anyone in the military, whether they believe in a military
solution or not, being happy with the whole Iraq war, especially if we
suddenly bail out of Iraq. In that sense it will be Vietnam all over again.

If I believed in a military solution to our world-wide problems, I'd be very
much afraid of those three people myself.

Actually, in case anyone couldn't already tell,  it isn't news, it is  
an old joke.  And there are some American ex-soldiers who don't think  
it funny.

May I suggest reading one opinion.

Me?  I'm far more scared of an idiot with a weapon, than Senator  
Obama or the former First Lady.
