 In 1988, I spent a long weekend in Iowa (working for the elder Bush, flying his team back to Washington while I was a pilot in the miltary) during the caucus. What was funny is that I looked so young that an older Bush campaign hack said, "are you really the pilot?? What a party BTW. Iowa is a great state.

Reuters. Treasury department is going after O'Neill. Crime: He told the truth. LOL. According to a summary of the segment on CBS's web site, Suskind said one of the briefing materials O'Neill had included a paper marked "secret" that was titled "Plan for post-Saddam Iraq." Oops. When all government documents are secret, nothing is transparent. Let's turn this around. I really don't want to see bad behavior hidden behind a "national security barrier." Operations, methods, and specific analysis are a different matter.

Time. Get Ready for the next Long War... Virtual states are the new, elusive threat. This long war is inevitable, the only questions are: how long (?) and what cost (?). Iraq is a decade long slog in the making (history has no examples of less effort). It is an accelerator of the current confict (Al Qaeda recruitment is way up) and something that could result in the geopolitical isolation of the US.
