If past administrations would have paid attention to the director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, we would have been prepared. In three books, published throughout the 90's, Yossef Bodansky has been documenting the rise of Islamism and its terrorist network. Pakistan has been in the thick of it from the beginning, publically giving support to the US, while secretly working to undermine its interests in the region. The fact that it has been reported Pakistan is moving their nuclear weapons to China for "safe-keeping" should give you a clue as to what is happening. I hope the doomsday scenario also outlined in Bodansky's books doesn't happen: the US attacked by a combined overwhelming strike by the combined forces of Iraq, Iran, Syria, China, and N. Korea.

Time for a rambling rant (or I just can’t hold it back anymore.)

This whole anthrax thing has become a sick comedy of errors.

The authorities seem to be running in circles and really accomplishing very little except making the rest of the country dizzy trying to follow all the stupid crap they have been spouting. A good example being the BS they started spouting when the first case in FL was discovered. It was a ridiculous waste of time and resources, and flies in the face of common sense to propose that the victim might have picked up the disease drinking from a stream on a deer hunting trip in North Carolina in September. (Deer season, in my state is in November and December and it’s not likely to be in early September in any state.)

Government officials seem to take the American public for fools, and the real fools in the media give them encouragement by not doing their homework and challenging the BS. Other examples are the stories of so-called “right wing , domestic terrorists being responsible. I could go on for pages with the stupid BS “theories” that has been circulated and promoted in the press.

Any health, law enforcement, or government official who is ignoring the obvious 95%+ possibility that this is the “second wave” after the WTC / Pentagon attacks is too stupid or irresponsibly PC to be allowed to hold any position of public responsibility higher than garbage collector. It is time we started to beat down these stupid, lying, incompetents with public ridicule and scorn

Okay. Now Anthrax has shown up in Pakistan. And now a bunch of “sources” will try to come up a way to disconnect this with what is happening in this country so they can preserve the “domestic terrorist” option.

The fact is that the Afghan / Pakistan border has been a primary mode of entry and exit for the Islamic terrorists and there is significant sympathy for them still in Pakistan. I suspect that there are significant numbers of Talibanistas still moving back and forth across the border still. Pakistan is a hodge-podge of loyalties and views and the policies of its government have little effect on the actions and viewpoints of the population. The government has too little moral authority to positively influence the people and too little power to dictate to the people. Finding Anthrax in Pakistan is insignificant in giving us any leads to its source.

I cannot hold all of a nation as being evil because there are evil ones there, but if they tolerate evil in their midst, if they do not vigorously stamp out or expel that evil, they can NO LONGER lay claim to “innocent bystander” status. They become “complicit bystanders” and thereby subject to collateral damage. Cowardice in the presence of evil is not a virtue to be rewarded with a long peaceful life. Their claim of powerlessness is a sham. They should either fight the evil or get the h*ll out of the way.
