What no ping?
Just saw it.
Can't ping you if we ain't here!
There's the WOT aspect to this, especially the intel that helped stop the plot and also get that Hambali terrorist into custody, then there's the domestic political angle. Didn't Hillary just say that Bush plays the WOT terror card, to play on people's fears, to rally the country behind him and not really to fight terror? Didn't she just open her stupid big yap to a labor union audience? Then, W makes this speech that highlights what would have happened after 9-ll if we hadn't been able to bring all our tools to bear on it... I LOVE IT.
(Mo1, Khalid Sheik Mohammad hatched a plot shortly after 9-11 to use Southeast Asian terrorists from Jamayl Islamiah to fly planes or a plane into the tallest West Coast building, but through intelligence we thwarted the plot and even captured bigwig terrorists as a result.)
