That link was truncated, for some reason, although I thought I tested it. I'll try again, but is a short article:

http://www.spacewar.com/reports/US_Navy_re-establishes_fleet_for_Carib...

That worked for me.

I just saw that is a different source, but same topic, and a bit more comprehensive article.

It's a global game-the Chinese are putting the fear of expansionism into the yanquis.

The Chinese don't have much of a Navy yet but who knows what the future holds-I think they'll just try and buy small countries out-it's happening in the South Pacific-the yanquis aren't that subtle they hope to frighten them.

Not a phrase I'd use on an anonymous internet forum. Someone might think it's a command or a request. ;-)

caligula - what's your point? I am educated, I am almost young (37), patriotic, and I am gun happy. (I am sure I am by your definition) I happen to own more than 3 firearms, and most of them are black, have plastic, and look mean, so I must be looney!!!
