I actually listen to a Canadian News MAgazine on NPR occaisonally. A lot less happens in Canada, so U.S. stories are big (I didn’t realize it was Canadian at first because of this) and little stories like this thread are big deals.

I can see Russia starting to get it while China is starting to lose it.

Taiwan like has nuclear weapons.

All I need is the tape of the Iraqi guy hitting the picture of Sadam Hussein with his shoe.

Al NAzariyah and Basra have fallen but some enemy combatants remain in those cities to be neutralized.

Coalition ttroops have surrounded Basra. Most of the government buildings in Baghdad have been destroyed by 1600 missiles. Two airfields in Western Iraq have been captured by U.S. special forces.

The 4th infantry and the 1st MArine expeditionary are in Iraq.

But It looks like the U.S. is trying to negotiate a coup in order to avoid a full blown invasion.

They would probably resign in protest of any kind of policy of restraint.

I don’t see how NATO is directly related with those counter-terror activities. Pakistan isn’t in NATO, and they have been capturing terrorists.

NATO has acted only once, and it was in Bosnia/Kosovo, and that was the U.S. cleaning a mess up Europe was unwilling to deal with. Dismantling will force the Europeans to fend for themselves. They’re big boys.

Yanny, what did Ventura do that was so great?
