Yes, unfortunately he is. On the brightside, I will get a chance to vote against him- downside to that is that it's not going to be soon enough.

Yes, it's the parties fault and there is a huge difference between them. The lesser of two evils and all that.

Met a B-52 pilot, retired, a couple decades ago. He was a wiry little guy, bright and lively selling merchandise in a dept store where I happened to also work. Retired, but he couldn't just sit down and act retired. He used to talk about flying over Nowhere Province, Canada where some pioneer's porchlight was always on and could be seen 100 miles away. The B-52s navigated by that porchlight. So he said.

Morning ASA.
Remember on 9/11/01 all of Congress evacuated, scurrying away from the Capitol building in DC until all aircraft were grounded and accounted for? Then they had time. They ought to really think about the next time.

"We are not the same Nation with the same resolve of 50 years ago."
Bingo!!!
And, given current immigration trends in 10-20 years time we'll (if there is still a "we") be so devided that the then president won't be able to get a consensus from the people to govern or to go to war. You can then kiss America good bye.

We had to dive under our school desks in the 50s when the threat was thousands of nukes going off all over the US. Many of those nukes would have been city busters, 20 megatons or more.I remember too. I wonder how much help those desks whould have been to us should a nuke have gone off nearby.

Certainly ONE of the many appropriate outcomes in the event of the "American Hiroshima".

"Mighty brave words. But just who would we attack? Jingoism futures are a good buy for now, tho." Pakistan, Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia are prime targets

"No, sadly, I don't think it would. 50% of Americans would point their fingers at the Bush Administration and ask for their ouster." Disagree. Another incident will put those folks in the "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" conundrum.

But they will still be gutless.

Outstanding comments, and I'm afraid all too true.

America has thus far been fighting the WOT with a single finger of one hand. If ANY "weapon of mass destruction" is used on American soil, the US will go to a full war footing, and all hell will literally be "out for noon" for the Islamofascists. I hope you're right, but so many people are so disconnected from terrorism and its causes that I don't think even a nuclear attack would wake them up.

Unless of course the "nukes" are exploded in DC while the Senate is in session.

Protection from flying glass, that's all they were. Later they had us assemble in inside corridors rather than stay in outside rooms for protection against fallout. We were sooooo doomed!

If we're nuked, all the doves will become hawks again.No, they will just blame George Bush and say that it never would have happened if John Kerry were President.

P.S. See post 51, long but excellent take on this subject!

Boy! Those were the days, huh?We always knew when it was 12 noon in our neighborhood. That's when an air raid siren (50 yards from my house) went off every day, five days a week (I don't recall it being tested on weekends), for as long as I lived there (10 years).
You could set your watch to the darn thing.

To: John Carey
When, not if. There will be blaming, finger pointing and the usual endless bickering and arguing. The reality is that it will have happened because of PC - unwillingness to profile, unwillingness to monitor things that go on disguised as religion, unwillingness to expel those who want to kill us, unwillingness to block entry to the USA to those who are trying to kill us.

If ANY "weapon of mass destruction" is used on American soil, the US will go to a full war footing, and all hell will literally be "out for noon" for the Islamofascists>I wish I could believe this. If such resolve would be demonstrated it would last about 6 months. When folks could no longer get diet drinks they would feel the pang of deprivation, blame it on the conservatives, and the democrats would opportunistically echo their concerns. If we do not execute an instant and complete victory, within a few months any will we might have mustered will dissipate.
To: John Carey
If we see an "American Hiroshima", our senators deserve the Mussolini treatment.
