I think the Empire Island of Tonga is rethinking their position in it's support of the willing in Iraq. They getting tired of shippng coconuts & seeing no returns. Their loss will be tidal.

All kidding aside we'll probably end up patroling 3 DMZ lines from now until doomsday, somewhat like Korea. If ya can't split a nation in two, split it in three.

This is a US lead action, to call it anything else is absurd. Except when it comes to sharing the debt, then it's a UN problem to be shared by all. I'm glad there were some fools out there willing to help pick up the tab, otherwise if we had gone it alone the US would be gone the way of Russia, a bankrupt state that wouldn't have had a pot to piss in trying to feed itself off it's former states.

But let's stick it out for another 6 or 7 years & see the how the state of the nation fairs. It's now poor, split, stupid with no direction or leadership worth a fig. China has our last 2 nickles & thy're rubbing those together. We're being dumbed down & our bodies & souls are too sick for our health care system to revive. We are now more of a threat to ourselves & have become a nation that terrorizes others, we have become the enemy & are tearing ourselves apart. So where does that put US in a few more years if we "SAY THE COURSE"? The ship of state is sunk!
