Only one question need be asked in these troubled times — who is most likely to keep our nation secure (and sovereign)? Everything else pales in significance.

You may have noticed that I have frequently asked people to at least name some names re SECDEF. No one has yet to come forward with their views on that.

I think that if the Rats were to win the next election, the SECDEF would be someone like John Murtha. A true anti-war, anti-this-war nitwit.

I think that if even the most liberal Republican running wins the next election (and that would be Rudy Giuliani), the SECDEF, at worst, would be someone like John McCain. Someone who is not totally anti-military or totally unsympathetic with the general proposition that (1) radical elements are trying to kill us, and (2) it’s better to kill them overseas than wait for them to get us here.

If this is the course the Rats are pursuing now, I wonder what the "stay home" crowd thinks the Rats will pursue if they win the White House in 2008.

Or are they okay with that?
