That's been concentrating a lot of minds, I expect. I hope. A year ago, I'd have said that if the PRC did that, they'd capture a lot of smoking ruins, but then the People Who Know Best in DC pulled out of Afghanistan in a self-inflicted rout, despite the coalition IIRC not having lost a single soldier in 18 months. I'm not a big fan of foreign wars, but it seems like they could have taken their time about it. Who knows how high the treason reaches? Cheers Phil Hobbs

But the stink coming from DC is too bad to ignore. Cheers Phil Hobbs

We are increasingly ruled by grossly inept power mongers of both parties, people who were their high school class president and never looked back... or had a real job.
