All rights reserved with the consolidation of the Military Industrial Complex companies in the last 10 years, the bulk of their engineers are all located in maybe 10 - 15 buildings around the country ... the Communist Chinese are not stupid: they know just how bloody damn hard, time consuming and involved it is to build and maintain US weapons ... ... those ChiComm thugs take out those populations of engineers and you have a 'technical Pearl Harbor' you can forget American fighting any war that lasts longer than our current stockpile of weapons ... opps ... I forget: WE USED ALL THOSE DURING OUR POINTLESS INTERVENTION IN Kosov ... Bosnia ... Somalia ... Haiti ... Better stock up on pointed sticks, Uncle Sam, 'cause that's what you will be fighting with. You know, *IF* I had wanted to utterly neutralize United State's ability to fight a world war, I'd do just what the Klintoonytunes administration has done: 1 ) Destroy military moral via gay/feminist/wacko-religious drives, 2 ) Facilitate Pearl-Harbor type consolidation of military vendors, 3 ) Drag feet on Ballistic Missile/Cruise Missile defense programs, 4 ) Scatter our troops and equipment all over the world in middle of nowhere civil wars, 5 ) Exhort the EPA to launch commando-style raids on small munitions vendors to drive them out of business under the pretense of environmetal pollution. And there are people here who laugh because I am buying precious metals hand-over-fist. What has been going on is TREASON at the highest levels: "Treason doth never prosper, for if it did, none dare call it treason" Go back to your lotus-eating Mr. and Ms. Baby-Boomer. All will be well. All will be well. Spud
