Actually, this guy said we had two options. Abandon Israel and get out of the Middle-East, change our policies, do what Bin Laden asked. Or all out war-- start killing them and keep killing them until they stop fighting. We won't do the first, and we don't have the stomach for the second. So we're taking half-measures.

He also said that one problem w/our intell/defense complex is career underlings who say only what they believe those above them want to hear.

He is not alone in that evaluation. Weldon said during his press conference the other day:

"I'm convinced there are bureaucrats within agencies who have been there, who are fearful when this comes out they are going to be embarrassed... career underlings that were holdovers from the previous administration who are fearful they're going to be embarrassed when the story is told. They're more concerned about their careers than the safety of the country. They're more concerned with their careers and their little fiefdoms than they are about what really happened in the run-up to 9/11."

After a nuke explodes in America, attempts will made to secure our borders. I don't see how that is possible, given the nature and volume of global commerce and the amount of border we have. But it may require enough force that other force will be limited when the Muslim Brotherhood takes over in Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc.
