This indicates the shallow planning by the boosters of these events.

Reality is a frequently neglected factor.

where are they going to get them? they send most of our troups to fight the useless battle in afghanistan for the yanks.. maybe we can get some troups from Germany?? to cover the olympics in Vancouver.. I mean....Germany on Friday rejected a call from the United States to send combat troops to dangerous parts of southern Afghanistan and said there were no plans to change its deployment of troops in the less violent north.
