Signals intelligence, to be exact, Rich. Sure, we -- the West, DanaC -- suffered defeat upon defeat in the Eighties, eh? Heh heh.

I'm arguing that the place to spend a couple billion a week is over in their backyards -- which has worked for four years and more now. The best defense is not the defense you're calling for, Rich, but a good offense, and what we've got now is far better than a defense.

No one, repeat no one, critical of our offense has a better offense. Such people are jackasses, braying. The Jackass Party is only now, four to six years behind time, growing any sense of national responsibility. This is not yet being paired with foreign-policy competence.

No, the nuke wouldn't be delivered by Iraq. Pakistan would be my pick. Iran second -- more motivation, less current capability. And I wouldn't assign a high likelihood to either one, as they'd have too much to lose in return. You can imagine what we'd do if the Rose of Sauron were to bloom over one of our cities.
