3 Carriers and 100000 troops in the region

Won't convince Carl, He wants a "Second Generation" war of 250,000 troops in the field before we start. Line em all up, and "Hi Diddle Diddle!"

We are going to spend this weekend getting blitzed by the anti-war crowd. I saw the start of it on Lehrer tonight. Just what you would expect. "It's all about Oil." The Media will do everything they can to make it bigger than it looks.

The next two weeks are critical, IMO.
