Doubt U.S. could win war with China

http://www.insightmag.com/Media/MediaManager/slasheastasia_1.htm


This is so ridiculous. Check out this part:

Officials acknowledge that Mr. Ishihara's views reflect the widespread skepticism of U.S. military capabilities in such countries as Australia, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. They said the U.S.-led war in Iraq has pointed to the American weakness in low-tech warfare."

When we can't even control parts of Anbar, they get the message loud and clear," an official said, referring to the flashpoint province in western Iraq.

Ok, so USA has a hard time dealing with GUERILLA WARFARE. This is true with every military in the history of the planet. But when it comes to traditional Warfare, as seen in the invasion of Iraq. We kicked their butts. If China were to attack us, and we had a war with them, yeah it would be hard for us to occupy China, but the war itself would be won by the U S of A.

Big Wins for Democrats?

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/09/politics/main1027552.shtml

Seems like every paper in the nation is touting a major victory for the Democrats. I think this is ridiculous. They won two governor seats and initiatives in California Failed. oooohhh this really means something..

What didn't get the big headlines:

Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on gay marriage
GOP Mayor Michael Bloomberg re-elected

Of course the Dems already held the two governors seats so a 'big victory' was really 'We didn't loose any ground'!
