Bernard Kerik, former NYPD Commissioner, said it best when he told the 9/11 Commission that “no perfect radio exists” and “God help New York” if it should get attacked a third time. Most importantly, he cautioned that we must “remain preemptive,” because if we think we are safe from terrorism, and that our war is almost over, then we are sadly mistaken.

Personally, I think the 911 Commission needs an enema.

Just as good a scapegoat -- if not better -- than any.

This statement is exactly right. We must keep destroying the terrorists until they are either all dead or until those who remain surrender. They are no tougher than the Japanese were sixty years ago, and we made the Japanese surrender. They are no tougher than the Germans were, and we made the Germans surrender. They are harder to find, but we must not let anything get in the way of finding them and taking the fight to them. Security precautions won't keep them from hurting us. Security precautions only subtract from our own liberty. The only safety is in beating them thoroughly and completely.

PS. That looks like a good website. I'll have to look further some time.
