It certainly is True that there are some Major New Developments! Didn't Think I'd have to type on it so Soon! But it is Undeniably So.

We're Rightly Taking Care of Fallujah, the Scene of What was Outrageously Done to our Personnel / Fellow Americans.

Not in Pure Revenge, but in Proper Answering Retaliation. And Towards Getting at Those Responsable for Staging and Carrying Out this Outrage / Attack. Bremer has said that This will Not be Tolerated, Nor Go Unanswered. As Well it Shouldn't!

But Unless we Get our Forces, Resources, Resolve, and Preparedness Fully Up to Good Strength and Speed!, -And *Keep* Them There!, *Stay* that Way!, and Be in it for the *Long* Term Duration! Unless we Do These Things!, -Will we Really Have Enough with Which to Answer *All* such Future Outrages?! Will we be Able to Hold All of Many Balls in the Air?!

All in All, -We Ought to be Sure that we're Tapped Into a Rich, Deep Well! In the Manpower, Resources, and All of a Department! We Ought to Allow for Further / Expanded Future Developments! We Don't Want various Wells of Our's Running Dry in Mid-Draw!

This Means the Economy, Alertness and Resolve, National Security and Defense, Sci-Tech Supremacy, and Indeed, -Even Things on an All Round Moral Etc.Front. These are our Several "Must Dos"!

Shortchange These, -and We at some Point may Find that we Just Don't Have Enough! At a Time we Can't Afford to Not Have Enough!

So Let's Take Ourselves a Good, Deep Breath! And Be On with It! To Get and Be Ready! For What I Think *is* Gonna Be a Fight! A Make It or Not Make It sort of a Fight!

Iraqi Involvement was and Is Neccessary. So it Behooves U.S. to Go About it as Prepared and Resource Ready as Called For and Possible! That Old "Do It with Enough and Right!, -or Don't Do it at All!", Duly Applies. And "Doing Nothing Wasn't / Isn't an Option!" So Let's Move Toward "Enough" and "Doing it Right"!

Let's Roll Up our Sleeves and Get Down to Business! That of our Survival, Safety, Security, and Protection! And of Freedom's Sort of Business! Let's Quit Overly Trying to Do Things on the Cheap!

I Think we can Regret Large Defense Cutbacks of the Last Number of Years and Decades! And Be Thankful for the Occassional Buildups as we've Had! The Folly of the Carter 70s "Hollow Army", and of the 90s Clinton Repitition of Such!

This, and Mentioning These Major Developments of Late, were about All I now Wanted to Say.

We'd have to be Living Under a Rock, -to Not See these Latest New and Concerning Developments!, -Nor of Their Implications and Import!

Including their Increasingly Coming to Bear on our various Survival and Preparedness of Concerns.

In Both Personal Survival, and as a Nation, We're Gonna Have to Be Ever Aware, Alert, and Ready!

It Could Sooner or Later Start Unraveling into Something Plenty More Unstable and Ruff!

But the Need to Counter and Fight!, -is in No Way Negated by That! This is No Time for a Softyish Sellout! We've Got to *Get* More in the Resources Etc Departments!, -Not Less!

( I've Heard on the News that This Fallujah Attack by our Enemies was a "Lay in Wait", Staged Event! Complete with Prepositioned Gasoline, Etc. Setup Simultaneously in a Number of Areas of the City. It was at This Specific Locale that they had the Target of Oppurtunity, to Do so on. And Did.)

( Interesting How They Did so Right on our Major Troop Handover too! Well as in the War of a Year Ago, -They're Up Against the United States Marine Corps! Who Do they Think our Marines Are!, if they Tend to Pooh Pooh Them Off! It's Only One of the World's Premiere Fighting Forces! They'd be Well Advised to Know That! Let Em Sleep So!, though! Though I'm Not a Marine Nor Former Marine, -"Semper Fi!")

And in Addition to our Kansas City Two, Who are Quite Rightly Acknowledged Here, and our Fallujah Four,-Who Seem to Not Have "Occurred to Mind"!, to a Same Extent, Yet At Least as Much Deserve to! -In Addition to These, -How Bout Also now our Ramadi Marine Twelve!? There is Nothing that Gets American Marines Determination and Dander Up Even More!, Nothing that Gets Them Fighting All the Harder!, -Than the Likes of These! "Do Go Get Em!"

Another Thot Towards Buoying our Morale, has since Occurred to me. And That's that George Washington Himself is Still Officially the General of All our Armies! I Mean This Not in a Light Sounding Way or Anything! For it is True and Duly Inspirational!, -For Real! George may No Longer be Literally Able to Lead and Command our Forces! And I'm All For His Being Left to Respectfully Rest in Peace!, as Well. But He is There in Spirit!, All the Same! Let's Duly Keep This Inspiration in Mind! As we Go About Our's / Freedom's Present Day Tasks!

Speaking of President and General Washington, -We are Of and From Valley Forge! And All Else in The Spirit of 1776!

If we Slacken Off in Minding our Freedom's Watch and Flame!, -We Could Find Ourselves *Back* to the Hardships and Deprivations of Valley Forge! And Who Knows for How Long!, Once Again! From Apache Gunships and Smart Weaponry and All Kind of Other Good Stuff!, -Back to the Cold and Snows of Another National Valley Forge! All Because we'd Have Forgotten that Central Spirit!, -of What our Apaches and All Spring From!, and are All About!

When I Think About Washington, Lincoln, and our Other Founding Fathers these Days!, -I Know that They Look Down upon U.S.! But What I Don't Always Totally Know!, -is Whether They're Looking Down on U.S. with a Smile, -or a Frown!

If the Latter!, -We Shud Get at Least a Tinge of Shame!, and Get on our Bean Towards Getting our various National Acts Together!

Now Much is also Good with our Country and People!, -and I'm Not Saying that Much Isn't! But Much is also Less of Ourselves! Less than What is Only Rightly Expected of U.S. and Our Freedom!

So with These Thoughts that we were Born With in 1776 Still Applicable and in Play in a Year Approaching 2006!, -Let's Be and Act So!

Take Along the Inspiration! But Also Attend to Freedom's Task!

In Rain as Well as Sunshine!, as Another Founding Father, Thomas Paine, -So Well Said! He Wrote Such for George Washington and His Men at Valley Forge! George Washington was So Moved by These Sweet, Moving Words, at a Time when They were So Sorely Needed! That He was Actually Moved to Weep! He Had His Officers Read It!, -To All His Units and Men! Let's Avert Another Return to Valley Forge!, to the Best of our Dedication, Know How, and Ability!

Be Inspired in How He is Yet With U.S.! But Be About Freedom's and America's All Round Calls and Tasks Too! To Sorta "Praise the Lord", but Also to Remember to "Pass the Ammunition!"

That is All I Want to here Add. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
