U.S. military report: Wars straining U.S. power
Future readiness may be hurt by events today, Myers says
Report is
here
I saw an American comedian the other night who said she thought Bush was playing the strategy game 'Risk'. If you've ever played it you'll get the joke - one of the rules is you have to leave an army in every continent.....
I don't think they have one in Antarctica.
Soon as they discover oil there...
Could happen, 'Twas a tropical paradise.
Poor goddamn Emperor Penguins.
That'll be the Bush excuse - bring democracy to the monarchist 'Emporer' Penguins...
Quote:"The problem is that so much or our force is tied down that we don't have enough to do other wars right away," said Loren B. Thompson
That is a problem isn't it? Terrible, just terrible.
We wanted another war immediately, but I guess we'll have to be patient and learn to be content with the ones we have so far.
Actually, we won't have to wait. They have a plan.
Here's the set up for the next war:

Dear Lord
I don't pray like I used to, but I'm going to give it a try today. Please Please Please intervene on behalf of the wprld, yur creation, and don't let these madmen start using Nukes and bring us to Armegeddon just yet.
Your Unworthy prodigal, Steve
There's really nothing else to do but pray.. The madmen are our own. Who'd have thought?
To quote Walt Kelly and the possum Pogo: We have met the enemy and they are us.
My thoughts:
We have over extended our military.
We are low on Ammo.
Foreigners hold bonds and are in control of our economy.
Bush ratings are at all time low.
War in Iraq is going badly. Very badly. And people know it was all started based on lies.
Conclusion: We need to remind the world we are THE Superpower. They are mocking us and trying to take advantage, taunting with their "we'll make nukes,too if we feel like it and you can't stop us."
We have to do something, something BIG. The bully ego's of the current admin. can't stand being bullied. So, we change our policy and start bending reports and eventually (shortly) America will see that we HAVE to bomb _______ . (fill in blank with small country that can't fight back.)
Canada is a big country. Really we are. Our mass is greater than the U.S. We bolster your economy. We do not have bombs. We do not have rifles. We do not have armies. We will, however, send several mad cows across the border if we have to.
CANADA!!!
That's Brilliant, Intrepid!!!
Why, we could knock out the entire Canadian Mounty with a single nuke!
And, thanks to South Park, we already have a marching song:
(excerpt)
It seems that everything's gone wrong since
Canada came along
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
They're not even a real country anyway.
My son could of been a doctor or a lawyer, it's a true,
Instead he burned up like a piggie on a barbecue
Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire, or the doctor who allowed him to expire. Heck no!
Blame Canada!
Blame Canada!
With all their hockey hubaloo and that bitch Anne Murray too. Blame Canada!
Shame on Canada!
DUCK!

I have heard you Steve, and I will try to do something about it.
