Well I am trying to watch a hockey game, but I'm glad some are trying to keep this forum flowing. The last couple of days have been sloooow.

Point 1: I like the offense is defense concept. It seems strategically astute, and just the smart kind of chess I would expect from our team. The only problem I see is that another administration(different party) may not play ball. I know in past history that we have carried on occupations through different administrations, but it seems like the parties are playing less ball with each other. While 9/11 seemed to solidfy our patriotism, politicians are busy dividing us up again. So combine a different party with an inhospitable Iraq and we might be out of there.
Point 2:I'm so tired of war for oil.
I must digress: Last week I had my first Hummer hostile. It was 1:30AM and I was driving home from my hockey game with one of my teamates in the H2. I am stopped at a traffic light and some freaky looking kid is crossing the street in front of me and talking on the cell phone at the same time. He gets about 3/4 of the way past the truck when I guess the high headlights catch his attention. He begins to paint my H2 with his middle digit while giving us an expletive riddled dissertation.He was rather hard to understand but said something about how I was the reason they're fighting over there. He than went to the side of the street and bent down to pick up.............
a twig! which he threw at my H2. Fortunately the light turned green and I sped away before he did something really dangerous like attack me with a feather. I wonder what the person on the other end of his cell phone thought of all this?
OK back to war for oil. No war for oil- it is much cheaper to buy oil than pay for a war, rebuild a country and occupy it. It comes back to security because we could not buy Iraqi oil with out fear that we were funding our own destruction.
By the way you neither confirmed nor denied my previous theory.
Oh boy looks like the game is going to OT. See you later.
