  1. Methinks there are just times when various comments can not be contested. WHen that happens, particularly in a heavily debated arena like this, those who would typically debate or argue your point prefer to just shut up and not respond rather than have the moxie to say "Hey, you actually make a good point with which I can not disagree."

  2. It's not saying people are stupid (although T-Bone is out there somewhere) If they actually fuggin cared about the issues, they could learn-but they won't. That's been my frustration.

     

    This is probably the one thing that bothers me more than anything. There are just not enough people here who are outraged enough to HELP. Where are the people who stood across from the firefighters with signs, thanking them from afar because that was all they could do? Where are all the flags that hung from our windows and houses? Where are the people who lined the street, waving flags and making traffic honk approval that we were going to kick someone's ass. What happened to the Senate, standing outside singing "God Bless America"?

     

    They're all watching American Idol. They'll get back to being angry in a minute. Once there's a commercial.

  3. To be fair, my original link itself has a link to an ABC News article that blasts the whole thing wide open.

     

    Right now, the rest of the mainstream media has joined the bloggers in tearing them to pieces. 

     

    They're out of allies.

    Apparently CBS has taken issue with Meatloaf's claim that 'two out of three ain't bad."

     

    Apparently, one out of three ain't bad either.

     

    Thanks for the link. The media is behaving from a competitive standpoint now, and that is good for the Bush campaign because now the networks will do his work for him.

  4. Why would they have to recruit an American?  We have a porous border, our record of failure in trying to curb illegal immigration is testament enough to that.  We can't stop large amounts of drugs coming in either.  Now, if we can't stop a Mexican laborer looking for work, how are we going to stop an AQ trained terrorist from crossing the border one night?  Using Occam's Razor, I think the simplest explanation for AQ not attacking on US soil is that they don't want to for now for their own, no doubt nefarious, reasons.

    Because we don't have time to look for Mexicans anymore.

     

    Let me tell you a quick something. Being Italian, I have dark skin and hair. I recently grew a goatee. When one of my friends saw it, the first thing out of his mouth was, "You should put on a trenchcoat and try to go through security at LAX."

     

    We look harder now than we did before. I know I do. And certainly that woman from the Wall Street Journal does.

  5. Mickey, I had written a much longer response and decided not to. I could outline a scenario. It wouldn't help.

     

    When I refer to assets, I'm referring to human assets-operatives and planners. The materials are easy to obtain. Operational personnel are not.

     

    And you're right, we can sometimes be our own worst enemy. And, we are in more danger than it appears, but we are also safer than it appears. As little sense as that makes, it's the reality.

    That is absolutely the last thing I'd typically give thought to about this. But there's nothing like a good paradym shift, and man, you're right. It's not the lack of a mission. It's the lack of the resources required to accomplish the mission.

     

    They'd have to recruit, and trying to recruit an American to their cause right now would be like Pats fans trying to convince us to join THEIR pussified fanbase.
