Why does this remind me of the Carter years?

Because history may not repeat, but it sure the hell rhymes.

Bingo. Just what I was thinking.

More like the first year of Reagan though if we're lucky.

Check out what Kirk Lippold (former skipper of the USS Cole when it was attacked) has to say on the issue - and he has some VERY valid points (as usual)!! He's also on Facecrook (Facebook) under his real name. If you're prior military, ask to be his Friend - he's a straight-up guy, and if he would have been a Marine, I would have loved to work for the guy!!

YMMV!!
