Dems Don't Get Terror Threat

Why in the world do we assume that these lunatics apply rational thought in the way that we would? They sure haven't done it in the past.

Uh, lugsoul, Qaddafi has already dramatically changed his mindset as a result of our actions in Iraq, including the fact that we stayed there in the face of mounting casualties. So we already have one case where it worked. And if despots understand anything, it's blunt force.

Rudeness is uncalled for and bad manners.

Congratulations.

[Huck]

So maybe next time you'll stop and think before posting assenine accusations. You are right. It was rude and uncalled for. But I forgive you. Now go and sin no more.

It is not our "enemies" that would concern me, as much as our "friends." These types don't seem to have that much trouble in certain parts of Pakistan, or the Arabian Peninsula.

Nothing- nonsense. Not true. We can never defend against one vial. Ad absurdum reductu.

My theory is that the Dems don't value working stiffs -- only allies (committed lefties). If the 9/11 attackers had waited and hit the Oscars instead, the Klymers in the country would be wailing, gnashing teeth, and screaming bloody murder. Berkeley students would tear down their dorms brick by brick and build a Second Wailing Wall. Seattle lefties would build an even bigger statue of Lenin. The NYT would black out the front page for a week. People who get up, kiss their significant others boodbye, and go to work in the WTC, the belly of the Capitalist beast, just aren't valued -- except potentially as a way to accuse W of sleeping at the wheel.

It would take one vial, one canister, one crate slipped into this country to bring a day of horror like none we have ever known. We will do everything in our power to make sure that that day never comes.

Never mind that "one vial, one canister, one crate", without a delivery system would do about as much damage as that idiotic cult in Japan and the Nerve gas.

But if the "one vial" theory was really a threat then we would have had "a day of horror like none we have ever known" a long time ago. If this was true? And hundreds and thousands of Americans can be killed by just a vial or canister or crate then why don't we have 120,000 troops checking every cargo container that comes into this country? We check 2% right now! What about the Mexican and Canadian borders? Yeah- right- Homland "security"? Yeah- one vial? What a sickening lie. I am getting mad right now.

This is an OUTSTANDING article. Found it today at RealClearPolitics.com - glad to see its already posted. It would be nice if everyone at FR read it. No, I take that back, it would be nice if the whole country read it.
