General Wesley Clark, Ret discussed this same subject today on CNN and stated that although we are not up to what we should be, we are fully capable of meeting the any challenge faced at this time. After Pearl Harbor this country was about as weak as it could possibly be and we rallied and were soon up to meeting whatever the enemy threw at us. I have faith we can do it again. The alternative - losing millions the next time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
