probably right, PawMan... we will press Iraq forcefully
the need for the destraction of war violence is gone
the Congressional mandate will motivate Bushy to press

dont be too surprised though to see Islamic violence heaped on USForces and USBusiness in the Middle East next
we saw a preview with the killing of our Jordan ambassador and the murder of a serviceman in the Emirates last month
I also expect more violence near Yemen where BedLinen is not hiding, but NOW STATIONED with full knowledge of our seucrity watchdogs

if we are on the receiving end of warfare, then USForces will react vigorously
this is what I expect, all offering the administration full justification, blaming THEM for the escalation
I believe Islamics want a fight, but on their terms
the longer we do nothing, the more likely we see activity on their terms

and their terms are losing terms for us
$400k spent on World Trade Center
$60-80 billion in damage to our economy
that is up to 200,000 : 1 returns of their investment !!!
