"It's a big picture thing."

It's more a "faith" and "hope" thing on your part. I've seen nothing to indicate that the Administration understands anything at all about our enemy. TSA working for CAIR is just the latest case in point. Couple that with the active encouragement of Muslim immigration and the way we bow before the Saudis....

There's nothing to indicate ANY of what you claim.

"There's nothing to indicate ANY of what you claim."

The armed forces of the US are stationed in a forward position...in the heart of the Islamic ME...in relative safety. Iran is pinched between that and an other base to the east. Insurgent radicals are focused on humiliating us there....and we're killing them, if and when possible...capuring them when necessary. You got a better plan? Huh? It was the best possible action. It leads to the broadest set of further, positive options. Good as could have been gotten. And I'm sure it has saved thousands of lives here at home. No one can say for certain. I believe it to be true.

TSA and all that other niggling s**t is what it is. Not that damn important....kinda like the Guantanimo flap and all the other pimpes on the elephant. Just not worth expending mental, physical, and money resources over. Gnats.
