So what do you think Manticore is going to do now that the Peeps are on the Offensive, with twice the warships of the Manticore Alliance. I think that the lighter ships will begint to play a bigger role, being they are now armed with missile pods both internal and along the top and bottom.

Then again, I could be wrong

I swear I am not trying to derail this thread, but I like how Weber moves our feelings around and gets us thinking. Example, Manti Government gets filp-flopped with a change of leadership, now the so called Pacifists (is all I can think of), they think they KNOW better, will not deal with the Peeps respectfully and put the war behind them, they drag their feet in their superiority, they do not finish the war (by working out reasonable terms) SO, the Peeps all but beg for a resolution so they can get on with their lives, and when the Mantis treat them like children, they have nothing left to do but make sure they are treated fairly, and if that means going on the offense, so be it. And here I am rooting for them to put them stoopid Manti idiot politicians in their place.

So, I cant help but think, man this reminds me of Chamberlain in WW2, the Iraq situation and even 9-11, and all I can say is no matter what the Democrats in the U.S. say about how evil Bush is, I am glad he is in charge and not them, they would be pulling what what the Manties are doing in the latest books.
