@11B40, When Mother brings you your hammer, drive the nail until everything is flush. Then you'll be absolutely sure of a few things, you'll know where that particular nail is and is *not*. If you do it right, you won't use a 13 oz. smooth faced finish hammer, you'll want something more like a 22 oz. checker faced, long handled framing hammer. They'll have a torch on those 'soft parts', that'll be with them for the rest of their lives. Getting that fire out will be the center of their lives, for the rest of their lives.

In a similarly outrageous vein, last night, on the "Russia Today" newscast, one of dear Putin's minions interviewed an American film-maker who accused the old US of A of "criminal negligence" for its "failures" in Haiti.

Mother, get me my hammer.  I found a nail that's sticking up.

But with the UN and all those other international NGO's involved, and considering Obama's fetish for bending over backward to keep from stepping on their toes, I imagine that critical time has been wasted just trying to get the "coordination" effort worked out.

But thank goodness this isn't Katrina again ...... /end snark.

""very powerful Kiev"? This appears to be a rather different definition of "powerful" than the one with which I'm familiar. As a first step to a real carrier force, a Kiev is understandable. Or, if all you want is an ASW force. As a power projection or sea control platform, "very powerful" doesn't quite cut the mustard. It requires you to refer to ships such as the DeGaulle as "titanic" and leaves you more or less out of adjectives to describe the American carrier force."
