You said it Sir Des, Got to look after your own. How obvious is it and we still think we are the world's protector. I understand the volatility in the mid-east, but once Turkey tried to hold the US hostage for using their country to invade from the north(therefore capturing most of the insurgents who were hiding in the Sunni Triangle) to the tune of $1 Billion to invade Iraq from the north, south, and west instead of comig from the south and east and pushing the bad guys north until we captured/libertated Baghdad and then they come back to Baghdad. Our military is spread too thin right now.
