- the media and the Democrats would have clubbed us to death if we went nuclear, and we don't want a repeat of the '98 midterms;

I was thinking more of the 1995 government shutdown, but whatever works. At any rate, we shall see how this develops. As "Albert Einstein" says in the introductory movie to Westwood's Command and Conquer: Red Alert, "Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell."
