Why thank you Marvin.  I'm not posting right now
(except for this) I did 110+ hours at the office last
week (including 2:00am Saturday, which _sucked_, let
me tell you) and would be looking at the same this
week, except I leave for Denmark on Friday.

But if you think you're scared - I'm so jittery right
now I can barely think straight.  As far as I can
tell, the battle plan looks like a template for 4th
generation warfare - OODA loops, engagement at
multiple levels, information dominance, the works. 
Lots of very smart people came up with those ideas.  A
fair number of less smart people have been arguing
that they were a good idea for a while now (count me
in that second group).  But they're just theories.  No
one, in the entire history of the world, has ever
tried anything remotely like this.  There are about a
million ways things can go wrong, and we have _no_
margin for error.  In my lifetime the stakes have
never been so high, for the US and the world.
