I am pretty sure that she is more interested in passing draconian security laws than going after perpetrators. Domestic oppression is more important for her. Terrorism is the convenient excuse.

I'm not worried. Sounds like a grand title for an administative/secretary function for organization/coordination of data to me. I imagine there's lots of folks we don't like or agree with that will rally to or be appointed to these times.

We are resolved to make our nation safer, as safe as it can be from these acts. We are resolved to hold those who plan these attacks, who harbor these people absolutely a hundred percent accountable. We will hold them accountable. They must pay because this is the test of a civilized nation. And we lead the civilized nations of the world, and we will not back down.

The only way to make the US and the world safe from terrorist is to find these terrorist and kill them and their families in the dead of night. To do so with out pity or remorse. To do so in the most horribly brutal fashion as to strike unreasoning fear in to the hearts of those who would follow their example.

This is the language that these people understand. This is the currency of these people’s minds. These are the methods which will restore our country’s and the worlds safety. Lesser methods such as banning email encryption an phone tapping are temporary stopgap measures which last only as long as it takes the terrorist to find a way around the measure (which is not long).

Only the fear of a strong and ruthless retaliation will stop these people.
