You still haven't backed up Gruss' claim about losing 90%. I was only
questioning where Gruss got his numbers. As far as losing troops in

made up. Of course I'm supposed to oppose everything the current Admin
does and love everything Clinton did to be a good citizen, but to
question Gruss' source is treason.
