One must distinguish Al Qaeda ispired Terrorism and home grown terrorism.
I agree
The Fort Hood massacrs, horrific as it was, has not been as yet proven to have been linked to the Islamic terrorists operating from the bad lands of Pakistan.
I agree, it has been proven it was AQ you just choose to ignore it.
It is unpopular to say so, but the removal of Genaral Musharraf proved to be the factor that has led to this cataclysmic unracellinf of US policy in the region. I had warned against this move.
It is only unpopular among liberals that demanded he be forced out. He was our only ally in the country and with him gone the place went to crap. THey have nuclear weapons remember, Pakistan is a nuclear nation that is slowly being taking over by AQ not the Taliban. The Taliban is dead, but AQ is still going strong. Liberals want it to be the other way around.
This is being alarmist. It is not easy to acquire the technology to make miniature nuclear devices and hence one may not take such positions even for merwely rhetorical purposes.
When the Soviet Union fell they lost a few hundred RA115 man packed Nuclear weapons. North Korea has some, Saddam Hussine was supposed to get some from somewhere which is why we went in there. These weapons take out about a two mile area. When the second scare in Times Square happened they cleared out a three mile area to protect against a nuke not some home made bomb.
When the Oil rig blew up the government sent SWAT teams to every oil rig in the Gulf to check for explosives. That has never been done before. We are under attack, the war is still going on. You and a lot of others are sticking your heads in the sand.
