Hi CobaltBlue; If the US were preparing for another Gulf War, you wouldn't be reading articles like this one: #reply-17906234

Let me quote from the above article:

But the American military needed more than 200 cargo ships to create the "steel bridge" that outfitted troops during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

Now do you see the perspective on the recent announcement by the military that they had contracted with the Maersk line:

"Last week the U.S. Department of Defense awarded a massive contract to U.S.-based Maersk Line, part of Danish shipping giant Maersk Sealand, to run eight ships capable of carrying ammunition, tanks and ambulances." #reply-17872269

You guys are making mountains out of molehills. War is a big deal. When one is imminent there will be no doubt about it throughout this country.

It may be too late for President George W. Bush to change his mind on the invasion of Iraq.

Now THAT kind of talk DOES scare me. It is never too late for the President to change his mind, and to argue otherwise is to evoke the pre-WWI belief that "once the trains start rolling, there is no turning back." Until the first shot is fired, it is never too late.
