I think the Defense Department is going ultra high tech. Fewer troops, more firepower; less conventional weapons, more space-age, reverse-engineered alien technology.

So I agree with you PP, that we should not dismiss Dubya as a NWO tool out to continue the gutting of America. Our President is beginning to remind me of Lincoln, who was probably our greatest president. Oh, I'm not ready to bronze Dubya and sit him on Abe's lap in the Lincoln Memorial. But both men made mileage from being underestimated.

Not even Doosbury has caught on to George W's act.

The guy was a model conservative as Governor of Texas, because he had to be down there. But at the moment he's out building low-income housing. Plus, he wants to turn 50% of the IMF loans to 3rd World countries into grants.

England, or course, objects. But it's a beautiful guilt-trip in the wake of the G-8 protestor who was shot then run over after he tried to hand over a fire extinguisher to police in Genoa.

Don't underestimate this tongue-twisting Texan, this malapropist from a family whose tawdry history is well-documented on the Internet.

And as for those generals who rant about further reductions in the military, I believe the budget is increasing. And if it's not going into enlisting more bodies, maybe that's because bodies and their minds are easy to control.
