Let me first say, that I've enjoyed ALL of Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" books, from "Hunt For Red October" through "Rainbow Six" (even though Jack isn't in that book) ...
But when it comes to "The Bear & The Dragon" ...
The book is crap. I'm FORCING myself to read it. Hell, I pick up any of his older books, I gotta FORCE myself to stop reading it, they're that good. I don't know what he was smokin' when writin' "TB&TD", but he better knock it the f-off ...
What really surprised me was how well written "Rainbow Six" was ... to drop into this dreck ... ick.

I can't wait to read that book, if only to see if it jibes with the current REAL military assessment of China's abilities/plans (as opposed to the fibs about "oh, China's no threat!")

If it weren't so damned LONG... I've got three feet of pages on my desk already to read through.

Not until I submit my entry!!!
1) Is this a food fetish question? *pictures what might happen* .... eeeewwww......
2) Unless you are embalmed with Worcheshire sauce (South Park Reference).
3) Three people: Me, Myself, and I. And we're all very good friends.
4) Depends on what stuffing it is. Is it white and creamy? (I meant Cream of Mushroom stuffing. )
5) Compared to white and creamy stuffing, gravy looks disgusting (if you know what I mean).
6) Well, I'm no longer a practising Catholic. When was the last time I went to church? Two years ago?
7) I just know you have some green and orange-spotted bunnies on acid in your house Jubes. Just give me your address and the guys in white coats will be there soon enough.
8) Never saw one. Seriously, truthfully, honestly, and without any crossed fingers.
9) Because I could not answer #8, this effectively precludes me from answering this question. Sorry.
10) Me? You're asking the wrong person, buster!!!
