[bossy22]

how many attacks has al-queda done of the u.s. itself in the last 10 years?- none, i wish we wouldnt spend another dime on operation useless dirt

The real threats are strategic threats and small asymetrical warfare such as piracy. Strategic threats includings a very possible pacific arms race (japan has already vowed to increase their attack sub inventory by more than a 1/3rd, south korea is going to double its destroyer fleet and is planning on building an air craft carrier, china is about to field an aircraft carrier and has 2 more on the drawing board, taiwan is looking to build conventionally armed ballistic missles to attack mainland china if china attempts to invade)
