Also, how long do you think we could sustain morale and supplies with our massive army sitting in the 120 degree heat month after month, possibly a year or longer until the whole world felt comfortable that he didn’t have WMD? That kind of envoronment can ruin equipment and materials when it just sits there collecting sand and sun.

5) My numbers? Ask me specifically and I suppose I can look them up again. But you can do that yourself. These numbers are fairly common knowledge, but you wouldn’t know it by watching the news or reading the papers (for the most part)

6) Fine, it’s the final product that matters most to me. No attacks since.

7) Well there’s plenty of it out there. I’m glad you’re not one of them.
