127. Put it this way, if I believed our country was in danger of being
Edited on Tue May-10-11 03:19 PM by sabrina 1
attacked, I would not send the military to every country in the world where they can do nothing if we are attacked. Sun Tsu would be appalled at that strategy.

The failure of that strategy was never more evident than when this country was threatened by a natural disaster that was the equivalent of a bomb falling on a major city. We lost that city, because the 'decider' was busy worrying about a totally irrelevant country as far as our safety was concerned, and the NG were off fighting windmills in a country that never even threatened us and were not available for the job they have spent so long training for, here at home.

If the leader of this country had actually cared about our security, the loss of a major city might not have happened, and certainly there would have been far less loss of life.

Sending your troops all over the world while claiming it is HERE we will be attacked is just plain stupid military strategy, and it leads a lot of people to question either the sanity of that leader, or his motives and the facts of his claims.

We had a security system that worked fine, but it was not implemented. I would go back to that system and stop doing to this country what no terrorist can do no matter how hard they try, throwing away our Constitution.

Searching in the most intrusive and abusive ways, babies, old ladies and disabled people who merely want to take a trip to see their families, certainly doesn't make me any safer. But it will enrich an awful lot of the same people who FAILED to protect this country. They FAILED on 9/11 and they FAILED when Katrina struck. Chertoff, the failure, head of the org that SHOULD HAVE saved lives in NOLA. You trust these failures on security to protect you? Their bank accounts thank Americans who are blind to the scam.
