Study Criticizes Pentagon Over Its Plans for a Greater Focus on Asia by Thom Shanker, New York Times.

Our military that has soooo thoroughly proven its effectiveness against the Muslim World will now shadow China? Don't you guys get it? It's just a gimmick to keep the generals from adding to our rising unemployment stats!

Maybe Lincoln didn't say it, but it sure is appropriate: YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME BUT NEVER ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME.

And to thnk that it is this cast of characters that are passing historic judgement in the Vietnam War at our military academies makes you cringe. But there's no choice for we gotta keep the unemploment stats down so that this November we don't get worse than what we've got!
