GROK, et al.

I read your posts and have to say that as a Canadian, you can rest easy about either tanks in Canada or the US going bankrupt. Our Gross National Product (GNP) is so large that we pay for our entire military forces in 22 days and paid for the Iraq expenditures to date in another 20 some days. And please understand that all of that is not lost money, going for salaries to be spent in the States, companies that provide goods and services (like the hated Haliburton (sp?)) and sub contractors on everything from food, to the equally hated military-industrial complex. It's funny to watch the legislators, fight like hell to prevent the military spending bills, and then fight like hell to get the money spent in their districts.

As we now know about the false papers being posted on CBS as proof of Bush not deserving his discharge, I think that Pat Caddell, the famous Democratic pollster had it right when he said that if any Democrat is invoved with these papers, Kerry will lose the election.

We may have already had our October Suprise a little early this year...
