Foes and Allies

America's closest alliance. Taking stock of Martha Stewart. Simon country. Saudis kaput. Plus more.

Gents: Well said. Further contemplate the following. There is a great need in China for the oil, minerals, timber, and land for expansion, in Siberia. China has 100 million men under arms, a like number in reserves, and the millions of troops of their old ally, North Korea.

I predict China will make the offer to Russia they can't refuse: ally with China and yield all or most of Siberia to China. Resistance would mean they would also lose their armed forces in battle.

Once the Chinese-Korean-Russian alliance is in place, their combined armies will move south into the oil fields of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and the Saudis, and there will not be a force on earth that can stop them. Unless, of course, as you suggest, we get their first, and fortify massively.

It also happens to be another reason, beyond the current terrorism connections, and WMD held by Iraq, to take and fortify the Iraqi oil fields, as the first step to fortifying the entire region against penetration from the north.

p>I have no real confidence that the WH, NSA and DOD will think of the above. If you agree with me, go with it. Bush looks like he could use a good lever right about now to justify even more our coming attack on Iraq. br> -- Ronald Johns /p> p> SIMON AYES br> Re: George Neumayr's Here to Stay :
