But primary season results in intense polarization and exaggeration of what normally would be considered minor policy disagreements.
For that matter I really am doubtful that any minor interagency tweaking could have established procedures that would have prevented an unforeseen attack such as 9-11.
I think that's wishful thinking and second guessing.
Not that major procedural CT changes should not have been in place...
For the same reason I worry that we're still terribly vulnerable now.
I agree, and disagree, because I am wishy washy.
After reading the 9/11 report, I was convinced that we were being protected by the Three Stooges.
However, I know from personal experience that there have been significant arrests and deportations since then, with all departments cooperating.
And I really don't think that the fact that we have had zero attacks since then can be completely attributed to luck.
That said, with the open borders and the "don't profile Middle Eastern men" pc crap, I believe that another attack could happen at any minute.
And my guy is Fred Thompson. So feel free to change your vote on my account. : )
To get elected in Massachusetts, ain't no way that Romney guy has a conservative bone in his body. He is just right of Fat Teddy, so they consider him a neocon.
