This strategy, released on March 18, is one of the driving documents for the Quadrennial Defense Review, which is just getting under way. This Strategy outlines our approach to dealing with challenges we likely will confront, not just those we are currently best prepared to meet. Our intent is to create favorable security conditions around the world and to continue to transform how we think about security, formulate strategic objectives, and adapt to achieve success. This strategy emphasizes the importance of influencing events before challenges become more dangerous and less manageable. That sounds like the preemption strategy we all know and love, but there's also a certain General Memetics Corp. quality to it. National Defense Strategy of the United States, 2005 |

Lord knows that www.unos.org could use the help. Think of the children damnit. BAM! Total; Complete; Circus. Three rings and all. It would be quite a muck-a-muck, three rings and everything, but better. More importantly why won't the republicans let us clone her? Then she could be legally put to death and her sadly-misguided parents could be with child again. MERCY CLONING! Save us damned american tax payers and that baboon-face-painted-bitch-of-a-copy-reader on www.foxnews.com some grief! I keep watching fox news and they keep cutting to pictures of this hedinous crack whore with a red sticker taped over her cock loving lips that says "LIFE!", as if we needed to be reminded how precious life in all it's faults is. Think of her Mr. DeLay. She wants to gobble, but her ideals are preventing her! A true twisted patriot. --timball RE: Congress Condemns Schiavo to Undeath! |
