We have the force necessary to deal with the situation." <<a href="http://reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=3027229">http://reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=3027229</a>> </pre>Keee-riste. It's hard to tell where to start; the Commander in Chief sounding like a drunk 19 year old in a downtown bar, or soldiers in Iraq, 10,000 miles from home, in a country they don't understand that is getting less enamored of their presence as each day passes looking at this and going 'Oh good, now he's inviting them to attack'. BTW, anyone know how this would translate into Arabic? I have to believe that an expression like this so bound N American in idiom would translate into something more, er, prosaic in Arabic like 'Deliver them unto me' or something like that.
