[Rhodes22-list] Politics: How's It Going?

[Herb Parsons]

Bill, 

I didn't ask if there were plan, I asked if there were plans "that bore even a close resemblance to the final outcome of that war."

How about if you want "the point", YOU google for it? Typically, a discussion is give and take. I suppose maybe the only discussion you care for is that which supports your position.

Herb,

What's your point?

Murtha's point is that he's part of the government, and he's telling you 
that there is no war plan to release now or ever.  Murtha is the person 
military people talk to, and he is generally regarded as speaking for 
the military.

We had War Plans for WWII, and so did the Germans, and the Japanese.  
You can Google them if you really want to see them.
