he could draw comparisons between things like the rescue of the British soldiers at Dunkirk, or the determination to keep the Berlin Airlift going and the relief effort in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I know that is asking a lot, but that is what we are capable of if given the means to do it.

16. In world war II do we go and invade multiple nations for their oil? |
|
Oh wait, no that was actually not until Vietnam....I don't recall America invading all over the place for oil. I recall germany going completely out of control though.....And ending in disaster.

17. Well, the PNAC Boys did say that "a new Pearl Harbor" was necessary... |
