Allan from Fallbrook
ParticipantEx-SD: I would agree with everything you said, as well as adding an additional caveat: No politician, Repub or Dem, in his right mind is going to tell the American people the truth at this juncture.
The truth being that we (the United States) are essentially insolvent as of right now. We have been gaming the world financial system for about 25 years now and the bill is finally coming due.
Can you imagine the fallout if either McCain or Obama got up on the stage and laid out the facts to the American people? Sweet Jesus, it’d be chaos.
I really pity the next President. And I don’t think it really matters right now which of them wins. The mess is so huge that it dwarfs the ability of the President, Congress, etc to fix the problem. Which supposes that they had the will and the foresight to want to.

Even a cursory examination of his voting record shows him right in line with the hard Left element of the Dems.
Not arguing that McCain is a better solution by any stretch of the imagination, just that Obama appears to be in lockstep with the more left-leaning aspects of the Democratic Party.

Participantpatientrenter: Thanks. I will track that program down. I’m a history buff, and have always been interested in the Anglo-Zulu War and the Boer War.

ParticipantRational expectations: Interesting. This is a new twist to me. Is there a new book out on the Anglo-Zulu War that discusses this? I’d be very interested in reading it, as the older versions of events (most notably the book “The Washing of the Spears”) tend to place the blame squarely on the quartermasters.
The Martini-Henry appeared to function well at Rorke’s Drift, and there is scant mention of any malfunctions among that contingent (2nd Warwickshire Regiment) during the siege there.
