It's been a few days since my last update, so let me just throw out a few things (Larry King style).

Let me get this straight.... The latest 'resolution' the British are presenting to the UN is going to give Iraq until March 17th to disarm or face military intervention. Last night GW basically says he's going to send in the troops NO MATTER what the U.N. decision. G.W. doesn't really answer a thing, but brings God, and 9/11 repeatedly into those replies he does give. He's sending in American troops to kill innocent Iraqi citizens and further inflame the anti-American feelings throughout the world (and especially the Mid-East to preserve peace and protect 'democracy'. Oh..why didn't he say so in the first place? Let's go!!

Saddam doesn't have nukes, no a way to make them, while the North Koreans possibly already have them and are making more. We attack one, but 'diplomacy' with other nations is the best route in another case.

After almost thirty years I'm back in touch with a former shipmate from the USS Shreveport. We served together from late 1970 to mid-1972, during the ship's commissioning and early deployments. I found Ken's e-mail address over at a military website for vets to get in touch with each other. What a blast from the past to hear from him and to spend over an hour on the phone catching up.

Have a good weekend and keep the duct tape & plastic wrap handy, just in case!
