To call it neglect is to be extremely charitable. This is the armed force that literally had to resort to bake sales to buy ammo for training purposes. > our present Prime Minister has developed a plan that will increase the size, > pay, structure, and equipment of all 3, Will his budget take into account his plans? Give the history of the Canadian budget for its armed forces, I doubt that will happen. (Canadian forces in Iraq and Afghanistan are there, courtesy of the united states taxpayer.) > the United States is right now the number one power in the world, with China > rapidly becoming the second. China has more military personnel than the united states. The united states has more ships, planes, and missiles. The only chance the united states has of "winning" a war is to go nuclear. (Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, have proven that the united states will lose a ground war. Cambodia demonstrated that the united states can only draw an air war, even if they have air superiority. ) (During WW2 when the Japanese admirals used the YiJing, they won their battles. When they didn't use the YiJing, they lost their battles.) John wrote: >That's why I hope they'll go with her as Veep. It depends upon which way the press turns. Thus far, the press has treated Obama with kid gloves. In Beaverton, Oregon, Obama said he had visited 57 of the states of the united states, during his campaign. Most of the national media ignored that comment. The Organization of Islamic Conference has 57 states in its membership. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
