It is of great interest (and of course concern) that many "hot spots" around the world acted up almost simultaneously right after 9/11.

It "is" all part of a bigger plan. Which is why we are extremely blessed to have an administration capable of handling it all. I might add.. anyone who doesn't think we are vulnerable is the epitomy of naive. The chances are higher that we "will" experience something, than not.

It took almost a decade for operatives to set up in our land. They are here, and they are in place. For anyone who doesn't understand the scale of these threats.. or understand how this all started.. let me lead their search for answers to Indonesia. Jakarta for starters,..and way back in the late 80's early 90's. Where there were large groups of terrorists being trained, then shipped around the WORLD!! We all need to understand the "larger" picture. We all need to "support" this administrations efforst to clean up a HUGE mess.

btw.. you statement ""Threat over here! No, now it's over there! Stop looking at Iraq! Look anywhere but Iraq! Don't go in there! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" is exactly right!!

It also makes one wonder why the PANIC by Carter, Clinton and Gore? Why so much publicity stating how we should just continue on in Afghanistan.. stay in the mountains searching for ONE man. Al Queda is EVERYWHERE NOW. The Iraqi connection will be revealed, as long as we can preserve our ability to gather intelligence in that region. Already members of the Intelligence committee have stated there is PROOF. But whether it can come out or not, depends on the safety of our agents and others who are providing us the valuable information.

If CLINTON had still been at the helm, his administration would have revealed how we got the information, when, where and why. The lives of those collecting the information be damned!!

Again.. THANK GOD this administration is in place. So many lives, lives we depend on for information, are relying on them to put their lives first. The lack of care for our agents in the field is in large part responsible for the near collapse of our ability to gather intelligence. Now that President Bush prioritizes them over the media.. we can expect things to get better. But it will take some time to undo all the damage. It takes YEARS to establish enough trust with the underground to get "in" and to accomplish good intelligence.

The Torrecelli Ammendment also did great damage to our ability to collect VITAL information. This administration is UNDOING a ton of bad policy.

Anyway.. gotta run. FRegards FRiend!
