Buchannan assesses if terroism be a mortal threat or no to America. We are a greater threat to ourselves than terrorists sez PJB.

I agree.

We are no more or less safe than we've ever been. Our awareness of being vulnerable is awakened that's all.

Terrorism in 1970s/80s was worse compare to today.

Maybe-too many things have changed on the world stage. The fall of Soviet Russia has a massive effect on things. The ascendance of China, and also the growth of Islam in Third-world countries...It's a much different world, now.

Taken from the Link:

Race, ethnicity and religion are the fault lines along which nations like Iraq are coming apart. If America ends, it will not be the work of an Osama bin Laden. As Abraham Lincoln said, it will be by our own hand; it will be by suicide.

This, I agree with totally. America gets more and more divided like this every day.

To a point we are being attacked and losing by virtue of the very ideals we cherish.

It's Bush and his idiotic thought process, i think some of the alchohol or cocaine fried his brain. But he appears to have always been stupid in comprehension, and reasoning skills.

Two street carts collided in down town Saigon today. The extent of the injuries were not readily available.
It is rumored that this was a clever ploy by Bush.

That must be what's occupying his thinking, because he won't do anything about illegal immigration...the guy's a total sweetheartbag, IMHO.

Buchanan was just agreeing, for the most part, with Colin Powell. The part about mentioning insignificant middle east eports but for oil is to ignore the elephant in the room though. Oil is what makes the middle east significant so long as it is the life blood of every country's economy. Wars have been fought over it and likely will be again.

Every terrorist scumbag that assumes room temperature is good for the world, not just the United States.

To turn your back, ignore the problem and hope things get better just invites disaster.

Seek them out and destroy them.

Passive defense is like the Maginot Line. It looks impressive but gives a false sense of security.

Of course i think he's an idiot, he can't plan or see anything coming, can't comprehend a situation and foretell a possible outcome. What really irks me is that the soldiers are having to pay for his lack of intelligence, foresight, and planning and are having to deal with operational concerns that a smarter president would have taken care of for them. He's a dimbo and the soldiers are having to eat a huge ***** sandwich because of it. Even worse is the denial and smokescreen they put up to make it seem everythings allright, at the soldiers expense. I really wish a soldier would slap him in the face the next time he visits them, and tell him about what he's done instead of kissing his arnold. Two thousand of Bush's lives aren't worth the life of one PFC they send home in a body bag to me. If he had the guts to go to Vietnam (since he's a strong president as he says) i would rather have seen him die in that than the 4,500 people we've had die in this mess. He's a scumbag i hate his guts.

I think if you had a measurement standard that could possibly measure everything to do wrong he has just about done all of it. He's obviously smart, you can't fly F-101 Voodoo's and F-106's and be dumb, i know this being a pilot myself, even never having flown planes that complex. But his brain cells ain't working to good.
