This is sounding more and more like Pearl Harbor...could the government have allowed this to happen so that our rights might be restricted and /or that we could go into the mid east?

Judging from all of the CFR pinkos like Quayle, Kissenger, Brokaw, and etc on TV screaming for war, I'd say you're onto something. This is a VERY coordinated call for war and "the sacrifice of some liberties" from the globalist establishment.

And the sheeple will sing along....all the way to the camps.

Yeah you are so smart, you see it all, you have it all figured out and the rest of us are so stupid. You are as anti-American as Sadam. You are cut from the same hate filled, paranoid cloth. You make me sick to my stomach you and your silly, pathethic screen name.

I might otherwise have agreed with you, but the public reaction has been the exact opposite of what would have been expected. Gun and ammunition sales through the roof, random attacks on Moslem businesses and institutions, and lots of people finally realizing that nobody can protect them better than they can protect themselves.

My prediction is that the airline industry will suffer a monumental collapse. A 6-hour ride with a loaded gun under the seat is safer than an hour-long flight to anywhere, and people are starting to figure it out.

Harry, do you ever get off your schtick?

It must get tiresome carrying all that self-righteousness around.

You sound like you're reading off a Bircher cue card.

The intelligence community and the military are no different than other branches of government. We see all branches of government making mistakes because of the left hand having no idea of what the right hand is doing. To expect the intelligence departments to be any different than the rest of government is not reasonable. We muddle through and if we're lucky something gets done by accident.

Our biggest concern now should be internal security rather than vengeance on some terrorist that we probably can't find in the mountains of Afghanistan. We have let thousands of Muslims into the United States and have no idea of where they are or what they are doing.

Most are probably harmless but you can bet that there are quite a few terrorists setting up cells in this country to disrupt things as much as possible. An ominus sign is the attacks in New York and the Pentagon. They know that security will be increased after a major attack such as was carried out. On the Mexican border the day of the attack the border patrol picked up over fifty Iraqi and mideastern Arabs.

This border has been a sieve for any terrorist wanting to enter the country. It is not good being preoccupied with all the talk of revenge because this diverts from the real security problem we have. I haven't heard any discussions dealing with the threats here but everybody is going for nailing those responsible for the airliner attacks.

After we close the holes in our own security we can have revenge discussed but until then we better have some security enforced here. This does not mean that we have to take anybody's freedom, we have plenty of tools to work with already.
