National Security is the top responsibility of every American president.
Because that responsibility was looked at lightly during the clinton administration, not only by the President but also by the cabinet he appointed, the MSM, many in the House and Senate, we were attacked on our own ground September 11, 2001. Being attacked was not new for during the period of 1993-2000 there aprox 20 attempts of terrorism against America with 8 successful hits
The strange part of all this - for me - not only are we fighting the terrorist we are also fighting for survival with our own Congress elected to also see all measures are taken to protect the United States of America. They take an oath to do that very thing.
