Does not owning a delivery system that can strike the US from Iraq mean Iraq
was a threat to the US?

Iraq didn't have people to hand-carry the weapons? I think they did,
and I'd call that a delivery system.

1860

There was nothing in the Constitution that prevented a state from seceding
from the union. In fact, several states, I believe New York and Virginia
were among them, incorporated language in their ratification announcement
reserving the right to secede. Documents written at the time of the
Constitutional Convention clearly indicate that the right of secession was
recognized by the founders.

As would I.

No, but I read the book. As a matter of fact, I have this sneaking supicion
that there are a lot of people in our government have read Clancy's books and
have confused fact and fiction. I'd love to have Jack Ryan as president. The
problem is he doesn't exist.

That reminds of a cartoon that came out when India first tested a nuclear
weapon. There were a bunch of people standing outside a barn with "Top
Secret"
signs on it. Inside was an elephant with an atom bomb on its back and a
mahout
on its neck. The caption read "At last comrades, we have first strike
capabilty". How paranoid to you want to be?


Ever seen "The Sum of All Fears"?

So you think Clancy's stuff is pretty far fetched?

Correct. After the War between the States concluded, the Feds arrested
Jefferson Davis and charged him with treason. The prosecutor then polled
the chief justice of the Supreme Court, who opined that the verdict would
be "not guilty". In his opinion, Davis was a citizen of a foreign country
at the time of the alleged offenses. Charges were hurriedly dropped.

They say that nothing's certain except death and taxes. The thing is,
death doesn't get worse every time Congress goes into session.

No, I think it's *fiction*. Clancy has created his own universe headed by a
modern King Arthur who can do no wrong. The real world is a lot bigger and
more complicated that the one that exists between the covers of Mr. Clancy's
books.

You seem to be contradicting yourself. You say Clancy's work is not
farfetched, but you go on to essentially say Clancy has created a fantasy
world.

The media playing along with the Government in not reporting the
whereabouts of a carrier?

Politicians selecting someone because of their ability (e.g., good man
in a crisis)?

Journalists admitting they were stupid?

of course it's farfetched.
