[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I'm sorry, JB. I couldn't stay away any longer. I had to say this... If ONE MORE #$%& says that the strategic planning document demonstrates "intent" to use nuclear weapons again, I will put them on my list of people who may be beaten with the carcass of a salmon. A contingency plan, a list of possible outcomes of a string of events does not in any way, shape, or form equal a statement of intent. Let me put it to you this way. Let's say that "Gary" and I really really REALLY didn't like each other, but we were in a situation where we came together frequently. Say I thought that one day "Gary" might decide to take a swing at me. I might have various scenarios in mind with which to deal with that possibility, such as: 1. Let him connect, and sue. 2. Let him connect, and take a swing in response. 3. Dodge 4. Dodge, and take a swing. 5. Anticipate swing, avoid contact. 6. Anticipate swing, swing first. 7. Anticipate swing, carry SIG. Dodge, draw, and shoot the #$&*. Or many others. That I might have an option on my list of options does not mean that I intend to or will take that option, even when the scenario presents itself. From the list above, out of preparedness, I might actually be carrying the SIG, but still choose use one of the other 6 options, because of the consequences of using option 7. My considering carrying the SIG (or even having it) does not mean that I intend to shoot "Gary" with it. Nor does putting someone on a list of people who MAY be beaten with the carcass of a salmon mean that I intend to DO it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
