Dan, Thank you for your due dilligence. Clear, factual and intellectual analysis is so critical in this hour and reading your blog, is just that. As a new member, I'm lookin forward to more of the same. Having been in mortal combat and commanding Marines in Viet. two tours 67-68-71 the tendency is to rest on our past sufferings. We old warriors need to be fed some fire, again. "to whom much is given much is required" , said the King, and we have been given much. The front line---is within eyeshot and the enemy is approaching the wire, we pray that the listning posts are awake.
