if NK, China, or someone else decides to do something, the US is in no shape or condition to really do anything about it. Not enough troops available--most are either in iraq, going to Iraq, or just back form Iraq and have been worn out, their equipment is worn out, no one wiling to help out either...and god help us if there is another 9/11 scale attack here...

I think you'll see a whole lot of military votes NOT going to *--the Veterans are already PO when Rummy just jacked up their medical drug premiums (from free or very low, which they deserve--to like $9 to $20 for each bottle of medicine they get at military hospitals!)
