well count me as one on the thread who just skips over the FP policy posts....'same-o same-o'

it never ends

we have way too much on our plate here at home to worry about being the world's policeman

oh and BTW, you posted something several days ago (i was traveling and couldn't respond) about romney being 'stupid' when it comes to china...

i have to disagree....

*politically* getting 'tough on china' is a big winner....jobs (or lack thereof) rates as probably the highest priority for american voters and for better or worse the *perception* is that the US is being unfairly penalized by china when it comes to exporting our jobs to asia....romney would be an idiot as a wall streeter to even remotely appear to be 'soft on china'

same thing with trump...

he knows this issue works with voters

Domestic and foreign policy are two sides of the same coin. While most people are dreadfully uniformed politically, the more people that are informed, then the more that information has an opportunity to be disseminated. Your efforts here Lindy may not be earth shaking, but I believe they matter more than you may think. :)

U.S. Amasses Stealth Jet Armada Near Iran

“Multiple” Raptors deployed to Al Dhafra, according to Amy Butler at Aviation Week. Air Force spokesman Capt. Phil Ventura confirmed the deployment. It’s not clear where the Raptors came from. If they’re from the Alaska-based 3rd Wing, they’re the latest Increment 3.1 modelwith boosted bombing capabilities in addition to the standard air-to-air weaponry. In any event, the Middle East mission represents the first time F-22s are anywhere near a possible combat zone.
