I sense double failures: Afghany and Iraq Afghanistan is slowly reverting back to Civil War and USForces will be used for target practice soon already, factions are fighting and killing each other does anyone read history books pertaining to Afghany? soon US soldiers will be labeled "infidels" we will be accused of occupying their nation even as we expend useless efforts in "nation-building" we vastly underestimate Iraq and Arab quiet support just when America is its weakest economically in 30 yrs, we plan for expansive war undertakings ??? has anyone beaten up a feuding brother? the other brother will defend him, taking arms against the attacker who incredibly naive we are to expect solid Arab support Saudi Arabia has never been weaker politically, economically they sport the world's largest per capita federal debt they only recently stopped building cities of marble in the desert I think we are overextended, militarily, financially little does the world realize that our entire banking system is about to implode, while our economy slows, while our stock market erodes, while our currency continues on a long bleeding decline the world community is about to pull the plug on our Carte Blanche federal expense account IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION IN WASHINGTON DC ??? no way, these war endeavors could bring the USA to its knees war will not resuscitate America it will expose our financial vulnerability our federal deficits will absolutely mushroom and for what benefit? if Islamics want to hurt USA, they can best do it with the USdollar and USTBonds both of which I believe they will do, and are doing we are incredibly stupid in tactics the "leaked" anti-Saudi Defense Intell report will encourage Saudis to pull money out of TBonds, out of Stocks, and out of Real Estate which will weaken us further we are as stupid as we are arrogant !!! / jim
