"secure the perimeter of such a       facility" is the easy part. To reach his stated goal of "taking the oil       for our country" would require securing supply lines,       ie. protecting/patrolling pipelines, supply routes into cities, securing       ports and vessels to export the oil from the country. These are not       things that are easily accomplished, I guarantee the type of "boots on       the ground" you envision he means would lead to the same type of       violence and domination you claim to rail against.              Clearly you've succumbed to Trump's erratic and arrogantly delivered       rhetoric. I feel sorry for you!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
