MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates is hoping for more help from civilian experts when it comes to winning the war against terrorism. He's calling for the creation of new government organizations, which could provide non-military expertise, or "soft power", in areas like communication, economic assistance and political development. Teams of experts could be sent abroad on short notice to supplement military efforts. In a speech at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, Gates said, "We must focus our energies beyond the guns and steel of the military." Outside the lecture hall, there was a small group of anti-war demonstrators, wearing shirts that say "Don't Iraq Iran."

If we were really trying to win the war on terrorism then we would be fighting the Zionists, not the Iraqis and gentiles in airports. F'EM. It's time to take America back!
God is always good!
t.i.p.s. spy on your neighbor, report your brother-in-law. grow the government. hand out pallets of cash. I'd say let's go for it except their cash ain't nothing but trash. gates might just be worse than rummy, because he poses as a reasonable person. but he's not.

Or just get out of the ME and leave the savages alone.
