And yet if this Nation is attacked again the same hysterics will bitch and whine about "why did the Government not prevent the attack". What a dumb self absorbed know nothing the average American has become. Basically this indicates the average American opinion is "Don't do anything that might make me feel bad but make sure you stop the terrorists from hurting me."

[...]the Bush administration is expected to use the terrorist threat to regain the upper hand in congressional debates[...] Republicans appear to be circling around a new strategy to advocate stronger counterterrorism laws and expand domestic surveillance, while pushing back against civil libertarians.

This is a new strategy?

This is from NRO, and I couldn't agree more. Condi is a disaster:

Summer of Our Discontent [Michael Rubin]

Condoleezza Rice may still be a media star, but her track record places somewhere around Warren Christopher in the annals of recent State Department history:
Rice reversed course on Iran, and even offered this terror-sponsor nuclear reactors. Rather than moderate Tehran, her move signaled weakness and further emboldened the Islamic Republic. Ayatollah Khamene‘i responded to the offer by asking, four days later, “Why don’t you just admit you are weak and your razor is blunt?”

Remember Iran’s centrifuges? They’re still spinning.
North Korea defied international consensus to launch missiles, one of which was aimed at the waters off Hawaii. Japan sought robust UN action. The US sided with China against our ally, Japan.
She agreed to a ceasefire resolution that rewards terror, justifies hostage-taking, and resurrects the legitimacy of Hezbollah claims to the Shabaa Farms.
Remember the UN Brammertz Commission investigating Syrian complicity in the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri? No reaffirmation of it in the UN Resolution or subsequent statements. Score one for Syria.
Her sense of timing leaves much to be desired.
For the sake of well, not much, we’ve wholesale abandoned liberal allies and democracy activists in Iran, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, and elsewhere.
Hmm. What other realist prescriptions can we implement? Coddle Castro? Abandon Taiwan?

We’re seeing “Chicken Kiev” instincts on an exponential scale.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is emerging as a point man in the drive for tougher laws, yesterday noting Britain's ability to hold suspects without publicizing the charges. Appearing on ABC News's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Mr. Chertoff said he would like to see a renewed look at U.S. laws that could give authorities here the flexibility to detain suspects for longer periods of time, noting that the British have such latitude.

Memo to Chertoff,

Hey JACKASS, remember this - the British are not citizens but SUBJECTS. They have no 'God Given Rights' but only what the gubmint says they have. They also do not have a Bill of Rights.

'We' also fought a little war OVER these 'British Laws' you seem so enamored with, and which laws were being imposed on us by 'The Crown'.

ps - Read the f**king Constitution and Declaration of Independence asshat!
