kevie, connect the dots. LOL... You made the first idiot proffer that Russia had some invincible military power or advantage. After I pointed out that America would own the skies and had many times over the industrial output of the Soviets, you countered with our lacked tactical air capability. Clearly you are clueless about all the material facts and also clueless to the meaning of those material facts. The thousands of P51 would reek havoc on all Soviet Armor and transportation and Germany had nothing comparable to the P51 in their fight with the Soviets. The Germans used dive bombers. The P51 is a fighter bomber and the 6 50 Caliper machine guns were killers. Men on foot need food and war supplies. This America could provide and this America could destroy if fighting the Soviets. America had the manpower and equipment to do the job. Your attempts to defend your technical and material ignorance of the state of American capability simply reveals why so many don't bother attempting to have a discussion with you and simply state you are a fool. That is the reality behind why so many here who call folly flubbers like yourself idiots. You stated Soviets would kick ass and that is an idiot proffer. The will of the American people has nothing to do with the material capability of America at the end of WW II in Europe. The capability to drive the Russians out of Russia is obvious to any who know the history and how of warfare. The American people supported the decisions made by their elected officials. The American people at the end of WW II could not comprehend Eagleburger: Anti-Bush Dems 'Over the Edge,' Carter 'Despicable' Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger said Monday night that leading Democrats like Sen. Tom Daschle who continue to criticize President Bush as America prepares for war were "going over the edge," adding that the recent conduct of ex-President Jimmy Carter was particularly "despicable." "I must tell you, when we are this close to putting troops in harm's way.... I do think that the Democrats now are close to going over the edge," Eagleburger told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "I must tell you, as far as President Carter is concerned, I think what he has done for some months now is in fact despicable," the former Secretary of State for Bush's father added. In language especially harsh given Eagleburger's Foggy Bottom credentials, the one-time top diplomat continued to slam Carter, recalling, "He did it ten years ago with regard to the first Kuwait war, where he called other leaders around the world and told them not to agree with the first President Bush. He's doing it again." Then Eagleburger reiterated, "I think he is despicable." The former Bush administration official said that while he wouldn't use the word "traitors" to describe Democrats who continue to criticize Bush on the eve of war, he explained, "When you're about to put American troops in harm's way, I think it's time now to call an end to that partisanship." newsmax.com And you can make your really and pleeeeze foolish simplistic observations and show us again you are fully ignorant of the material facts.
