Disney World. Did they ration gasoline, reinstitute the draft or tell the Saudis we were going to use our bases there to go after Bin Laden whether they liked it or not?

It's good to hear that stuff again. I'd forgotten some of it. Particularly "going to war with the army you have." It's even more sickening now in light of recent events.
