<<As Iraq proved, that's not always the case. >> Patience, Andy. I'm sure they're working behind the scenes -- you think we have any inkling what the Govt does? Nah.

I guess we bypassed NK, Iran, and Syria? Or maybe we're doing a test run? In any event, the last sentence here is ..... a tad naive? <<To prove U.S. intentions to invade Venezuela, Chavez offered to send "Nightline" host Ted Koppel maps and other documentation. "What I can't tell you his how we got it, to protect the sources, how we got it through military intelligence," he said. In the event of a U.S. invasion, Chavez said the United States can "just forget" about receiving any more oil from his country.>> uh.........invaders generally take what they want.....even those who are not invading but freeing and building democracies..... A.A. When they're successful. As Iraq proved, that's not always the case. Especially when the Commander in Chief is on vacation while the war is going on.
