You tried to have your cake but China is eating your lunch.

You knew you were going to throw out all the rules when you started the Iraq war, and you didn't want any CIA or military personnel to be tried in the International Criminal Court (I.C.C.) for genocide or any other international crimes.

So you pressed all countries that accepted U.S. training to exempt Americans from the I.C.C.


Twelve Latin American countries refused to sign this exemption of U.S. citizens from I.C.C. prosecution. They were subsequently subjected to American sanctions.

So the Chinese are training South American military troops and Chinese technology is showing up in South America as well.

The Senate Armed Service Committee is freaking out and wants to eliminate anything which discourages countries from accepting U.S. training.

Is there some part of the world where you are not playing catch up?



NATO commanders will take direct leadership of American GI's in Afghanistan.
American soldiers fighting under a foreign commander, who would have thunk? What happened to our great American military force?
British Army Lt. Gen. David Richards is slated to take command this summer. This will be the first time U.S. troops at war will report to a foreign leader since World War II.
Rummy said troop levels in Afghanistan will be reduced to about 16,000 this summer down from the 19,000 presently assigned there.

We are told around 5,000 to 6,000 will actually report to Richards, to help maintain stability and security, the rest of the American contingency will continue hunting Taliban and al-queda insurgents.

Rummy needs NATO because we are stretched so thin militarily. But, NATO does not need Iraq and has refused to partake in any large role other than to help with limited training of Iraqi troops.

This makes you look so needy junior.

You could have said the mission has changed to a police action. And our NATO allies will be there to mop up. So in the spirit of fighting this global war on terror with our allies, we will leave a few thousand troops to help with the transition. This will allow us to completely dedicate U.S. counterintelligence troops to bringing in Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.

This way you can completely avoid the issue of insufficient troop levels in Iraq. It also gives the false impression you are in control and this was planned all along.


Not only does Wal Mart pay substandard wages and force states to subsidize the company's substandard health coverage, China may be converting those cheap goods Americans buy, into guns and jet fighters.

China has added $35 billion to their military budget this year. They insists it is to improve troops living conditions, salaries, new equipment, training and higher fuel prices.

"Even when one day China becomes stronger, China will not interfere in others' internal affairs or have adverse impact on others," Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said.

Total defense spending is about 7.4% of China's total budget and China has the largest military in the world at 2.5 million members. Analysts say China has spent billions on submarines, jet fighters, high-tech weapons and hundreds of ballistic missiles.

Who is China expecting to fight with all that firepower?

Anyway China's premier has certainly eased my mind. After all what country in their right mind would impose their ideology onto another country when it is not asked for?



Isn't it odd that you want secular governments free of religious ties, in the Mid East, but here at home it is OK for you to:

• continually inject strong religious views into reasons for war.
• induct religious supporters to the Supreme court.
• provide billions of tax payer dollars to religious groups.
• politicize science with Christian doctrine.
• remove secular influence from government decision making.
• organize church groups for political purposes.
• use Christian teachings to guide foreign policy.

It is a conundrum .

Unless you mean that American Christianity is the only true religion and all other religions are bogus. And our God is better than other gods. And devout American Christians are the only ones going to heaven everyone else is going to hell.

Because then, it all makes sense.
