Most of us know we are in perilous times....it's just we aren't sure how to deal with the hand we are all dealt right now.

When you figure it out let me know.

I'm thinking out loud here -
Some of our most learned counterterror voices have fallen silent. That pretty much convinced me that after the elections we will declare victory and begin withdrawal.

Then the killing fields can really begin. With Iranian backing, Muqtada al-Sadr will be right in the middle of it. Remember he is Shi'a and his followers chanted his name as they hung Saddam.

Meanwhile, General Casey is busy redesigning the US Army to be more SOF-like. I wonder if he knows the Russians now have lots of money to rebuild their army and the Chinese are busy doing the same.

I am presently designing a "green" house that can provide adequate shelter off-grid.
Also looking for a piece of land with a natural spring to build it on.
