Good lord, let the spam begin again.
Kenny please, I'm telling you this in the nicest way possible..just stop already, I'm sure your soliciting for your friend Ben I think was his name, and I'm pretty sure he wrote your questions again, and I really dont feel like arguing about how the format of the questions intentionally point towards one direction, especially the US being belligerent question.
But just to trim this thing down to the flesh and bone, and to get rid of the fluff... Valiant shield and exercises like it in the pacific are nothing new. There is at least a dozen different ones that happen anually. So throw that whole point out the window because it doesn't matter.
By the way please cite where you picked up the info on EX VALIANT SHIELD because your numbers are WAY off!
And Meagan I'm proud of you, I honestly am, and I'm touched, you have got to be one of the first people to use one of my arguments for me as you cited that thing about the "club" and "Mutual Assured Destruction" straight out of one of my old posts... god bless sweet heart. (gimme a little credit next time though please) :P
